They should just make Mei Inuit. She looks like a 50/50 Inuit-Euro mix. Then create a new actually Chinese character.
She does not look Inuit though.
>she's an ice themed asian character so she must be inuit
that's racist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SDvfGyBNIo
Yeah OP you're fucking stupid.
She should be Aleut
>>334692373
As I said, Inuit-Euro mix. Girls who are 25-50% look just like her. Brown hair, slightly Inuit features.
>>334692454
Nigga the CHINESE mad she ain't lookin' Chinese. There's nothing Chinese about her design. China ain't that cold. And Inuit aren't really seen as Asians, but their own ethnicity.
None of the other characters are dressed native to their home countries. Tracer is not dressed as a Morris dancer for example.
So why get hung up on the Chinese character?
Apart from Hanzo I guess but even then his clothing is not exactly typical Japanese.
>>334692542
Shes based in the Antartic. Unless you mean that Chinese people are not allowed outside of China.
>>334692542
You've never seen an Inuit.
>>334692895
I am Inuit.
She doesn't even look remotely Chinese. Like at all. Maybe she's a white person who was born and raised in China and then went to antartica for research. It's still weird as fuck hearing her speak Chinese.
D.VA at least looks like one of my plastic gooks.
She doesn't even look Eurasian, let alone Asian.That guy who said she looks like a cross between Inuitinua and Kaceytron wasn't actually that far off the money tbqh
thick

>You've never seen an Inuit.
I've seen Eskimo Emma on Backgroom Casting Couch. I'm an Inuit expert.
>>334693136
That just strengthens my case since Inuitinua is 1/4 Inuit.
>>334692163
(YOU) should get a life
Looks pretty Chinese to me.
>>334693341
Plus Kaceytron's semi-Native.
>>334693719
>Plus Kaceytron's semi-Native.
Really? How much?
>>334692513
>That eskimo blow job joke
i like it
>>334693673
She looks like a modern Disneyfied Chinese.
>>334693740
No idea, I just remember when she was asked about her background during some out of character interview she did when she was at the peak of popularity a few years back, she said she had some Native heritage. She wasn't making a big deal out of it and going on about in-touch with it she supposedly is or anything.
I could believe it, looking at her.
>>334694263
Lots of Americans brag about having slight Native ancestry.
nigga dey all chinese
I know a chinky bitch and she thinks Mei is laughably bad.
She said her accent sounds exaggerated, almost chingchingnipnog bad, and that wearing a chopstick in your hair is very out of style
>>334694936
My Chinese professor actually sounds like Mei when she speaks.
Maybe is a regional thing?
Someone has a WebM of her new emote YAAAAAAAY ??
>>334692163
She does not look remotely chinese to me.
Then again, I can't tell one asian from another.
If that's racist then I guess I am racist.
Sorry.
>>334694936
Mei's VA is Korean-American, apparently
>>334693978
>chinese girl doesn't look chinese
there're like a billion chinese people out there, there's quite a bit of variety to how they look
>>334695101
She speaks very good Chinese, in that case. The tones are all correct. This is usually impossible for non-Chinese people to do.
>>334695213
Asians have the least variation. Each Asian ethnicity tends to look similar to each other.
>>334694936
Chinese people are the fucking WORST to ask about this. They are in severe denial as to what they sound like when speaking English.
The language's dominant sounds cause native speakers to sound like Mei if they didn't learn English as children or via extensive language training.
But yeah, Mei doesn't look even slightly Chinese. Neither does D.Va.
Which is by design, since Blizzard doesn't want a controversy on their hands while trying to peddle this as an eSport darling in Asia.
>>334695101
Mei was voiced by a Chinese actress (actually recorded in China).
We're absolutely in love the character model and the voice work.
>http://us.battle.net/forums/en/overwatch/topic/20743016101#post-5
>>334692163
Looks like a chinese/canadian french girl I knew once.
>>334695213
Just because there's a billion Chinese doesn't mean they have variety matching their quantity.
Asian people's most distinct features relative to other ethnic groups make them very homogenous. Their dominant traits are things like:
little/no nose bridge
low nose projective
little/no brow ridge
monolid eye
epicanthal folds occluding the inner and outer eye
broad, prominent cheekbones leading to a wide "flat" face
Thin lips
Relatively small/underdeveloped bodies compared to other groups
So what you wind up with is flat faced people with very weak facial features, eyes that appear tiny to the rest of the world, slight bodies, and flat faces. The face issues ALONE kill a lot of individuality in faces, as their faces are featureless for the most part.

But yeah, how the fuck you're suppose to caricaturize asians in a politically correct way is all but lost and won't be figured out in time for the designers deadlines.
>mei is not chinese
K someone take a poll next time along with the census and slip that shit right to blizzard because they sure as hell aren't in any positions to make decisions about what chinese people are suppose to look like in pixar land.
>>334695523
Well, I stand corrected.
I know that the Chinese Blizzdrones absolutely hated her appearence-wise when she was revealed, but how did they take the quality of her voice work?

>>334695840
You can stylize Asians. Disney does it all the time.
I wonder if this game will have an Invoker
>>334695598
>faith
Now that thing doesn't look Chinese at all. Maybe she has Down's Syndrome, or something.
For what it's worth, I think Mei looks pretty good as a Chinese character in a video game. Doesn't bother me.

>>334696285
If we do have a Magician I hope he looks like Straid. Favorite character in DS2.
FEEBLE CURSED ONE
>>334692542
It's called having a cartoonish art style you moron. Just because shes Asian doesn't mean she needs to have slanted AF eyes. Although I'm sure you're very in touch with the Chinese fanbase to know that they strongly disapprove of her look.
>>334692513
>polar gooks
>>334696485
The worst part of it is generalizing the entire Chinese fanbase, all at once. For one thing, non-mainland Chinese like Taiwan and Singapore generally don't feel the same way about anything compared to PRC Chinese.
It's like saying Britbongs agree with everything Clapistani because they're all Caucasian, or what have you.
>>334696485
>It's called having a cartoonish art style you moron.
Yet Disney can have cartoonish art styles while keeping characters looking actually Chinese.
I agree, they whould make her a Greenlandic Inuit
Games in general need more Dane pig hating characters.
>>334695598
It's funny you should pick Faith, because if you want an example of something that riled up the Chinese, the Koreans, and the Japanese all at once in terms of their representation in games, that's her right there.
>>334696703
what does that even mean, the average chinese look like linda lin, and if you drew her as a cartoon she'd look like everything in this thread
brown eskimos are best eskimos
>>334696834
Why?
>>334693217
>I've seen Eskimo Emma on Backgroom Casting Couch
A+ taste I'd trust your opinions
>>334692163
I thought she was from the South Pole Water Tribe.
>>334696613
Are you telling me that people of the same race don't think and act the same way? Why would /pol/ lie to me?
>>334696925
They universally thought she was ugly af.
>>334696914
>dark skin
>blue eyes
>fit
Now if only she had white hair...
>>334696703
2d and 3d are different, and again, it's called stylization and keeping consistent design.
>>334696991
That's pretty ironic considering how the average east asian looks
>>334693217
Ok.
A] you have webm?
B] is eskimo pussy frozen?
C] do i need a littel coat for my pennis?
>>334696941
Some of the girls are cute, but BCC is really lame ass porn.
Who fucking cares? It blows my mind that anyone actually gives a shit about a fucking character's "race".
>weeellllll she's actually only 33% Eskimo, 45% Asian and...
You fuckin' kidding me with this bullshit?!
>>334697124
The average anything looks pretty average, I've found. Someone post the averaged faces thing, it was pretty good.
>>334692513
haha

This?
Can't tell for Mei since she looks like a cartoon, but doesn't look like Faith.
>>334697135
UNNNNNNNNNNGGGGH
>>334697415
they look like baldurs gate 2 portraits
also why are african america, mexican and greek the best? wasnt expecting that
>>334697541
cos it's bullshit

beats me, that's what averaging faces turns out to look like

Ethiopia, Greek, India, Iran and Russia.

It's Mei from Overwatch :^)
>>334697415

>>334692163
Just give Mei her own game called "THICK AND THICKERS UGGHH" Andrew Dobson will provide the artwork.

>>334694936
Now ask a Russian what they think about Zarya.
>>334697953
nah, cambodians are, ugly as fuck brown skin
>>334697953
this isnt like my animes at all
> australian characters are filthy ratfucker stereotypes
> russian character are stereotypical musclehead but 'progressive'
> Egyptian character name is literally just one letter removed from title of royalty, as if you could introduce an american character named rockfeller
Maybe I'm not seeing the hype, but there's no rhyme or reason in the presentation of this game. Bad enough with skins which rip off Laputa and Guilty Gear, I can't wait to watch all my favorite animes become cool Overwatch memes. And D.Va's a Marvel ripoff.
>>334698060
I forgot Zarya was Russian, I wonder if another reason she was made into the perfect tumblr character is because its trendy to shit on Russia because of their gay laws
>>334698094
>Bad enough with skins which rip off Laputa and Guilty Gear
Which ones? That's pretty cool that Blizzard are paying homage to these things.
>>334698094
You forgot
>Swiss character talks like a kraut
You wouldn't give a Scotman an English accent
>>334698094
i'd be behind an american character named Rockefell
>>334695213
I wasn't saying she didn't look Chinese, I was just saying she looks Disneyfied.
>>334697135
Now I know what "Chubby Chaser" means, because I want to chase her and pinch her while I scream "THIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!!! YOU ARE THICK!!!!!!!!"
>>334698094
>implying Junkrat and Road Hog aren't the best characters so far
I hope they put Junkrat in Heroes of the Storm
>>334698169
Abandoned and Raptorian. People are saying it's supposed to be Gundam, but the more angular structure clearly means it's Justice.
>>334698447
The correct word is thicc, with double C, you uneducated barbarian.
>>334693341
Why do people draw Mei as a gross fatty when she looks like this?
>>334698646

She is an asian scientist who specialized in the polar ice caps. Her suit is to protect her in the (ant)arctic weather. Did you want her in some skimpy chinese dress for the cold ass weather she's suppose to be protected from? You're fucking bad at this.
>>334699218
Her face, eye color and hair color mostly. Looks Euro.
>>334696485
>>334696613
Quite a lot of the Chink fans did flip out following her reveal in November, actually. Them bitching about China's rep in the game looking like "a fat white woman" was enough for Blizzard's Chinese PR goon to put out a statement justifying her on the basis she was designed by an ethnic Chinese.
>>334699460
i didn't even know chinks played fps games
>>334699264
Okay, that's actually reasonable. But the faces are very disney-fied, and are designed to be expressive. I suppose they could've went more narrow and pointed like Mulan, but you know someone would bitch about muh stereotypes.
>>334697135
>>334699141
>>334692163
She needed to be Eskimo because they are literally taught at a young age to be sluts.
>>334699846
Eskimos have 20 different words for sex
>>334692163
Just listened to her voice. She sounds practically identical to Mei Ling from the original MGS on PS1.I like it
>>334697203
It's just like whenever's there's a black character that isn't dark as shadows people will fight to the death on how they're not actually black
>>334700362
Her name actually is also Mei Ling. They just shorten it to Mei for use in game.
Is Reaper actually Mexican or does he just have a mariachi skin for no reason
