I honestly feel bad for Zarya. Every since she got announced, the beehi/v/e shat on her for being tumblr and sjw. She didn't choose to be designed that way. You know that, right? She's just trying to hold her own in the game. I fucking hate it when I see a bunch of Tracers and Widowmakers gang up on her, laughing at her expense. It has come to a point of Zarya getting bullied, both on messageboards and in-game. Mind you, I'm not in love with her. I don't think she's cute or anything, but she deserves to exist in the game without people having to take jabs at her every fucking second of the day. Hell, just think of all the porn out there of Mei, Tracer, Widow, etc. And hardly any of Zarya. It's purposefully done, because people love to hate her as a person, and that is straight up wrong. I just felt like sharing this, because there's no reason why she deserves so much shit. I'm not asking you to love her, but stop with the blatant bullying of a character that just wants to be part of the gang.
>>336550591

The entire hate is retarded and proves /v/'s childishness
>pops her oh-shit shield and denies literally all damage
op
Hey man tumblr progressives aren't all bad! They're more nuanced than /v/ thinks.
I'm friends with 2 of them and they only passively aggressively call me a bigot and racist every time we try to have an adult conversation.
Most SJWs would just scream slurs and labels at me and end the conversation there. You can't except everything to be black and white, that's literal SJW-think.
>>336550591
My entire issue with her is the stupid hair. It could be dyke hair, or it could be neon anime hair, but both is too much. She's the only one in the game with such ridiculous hair. Even the fucking anime robot girl has normal hair.
>>336550884
>they only passively aggressively call me a bigot and racist every time we try to have an adult conversation.
I know you're just shitting around but some people actually behave like this and I don't understand why anyone would bother being around them.

I think she's fucking ugly and she probably plays like shit too I don't give a fuck about tumblr or sjws
>>336550591
My only issue is her awful fucking weapon
Even Winston's gun is better
>>336551010
because I don't believe people with intense political opinions should be ignored.
Just because they're using ultra snarky implied insults at my expense doesn't mean I can't be friends with them.

>>336551079
You aren't ignoring them because they have ridiculous views, you're ignoring them because they're insufferable people. I used to be friends with a guy that insisted the moon landing was fake. But he didn't bring it up every conversation and call me a sheep or something every time we spoke.

I guess to each his own, but it's a refreshing take a tank. Rather than just put up a static shield like Rein, DVa, or Monkey, her shield gameplay is all about timing. A full charge Zarya can carry a team.
>>336551954

>commit the soft bigotry of low expectations; treat women and non-whites like children with no agency of their own, which is an idea that simply doesn't last under scrutiny in 2016, and hasn't for probably the past 40 years with women and 25 years with non-whites
>commit hard bigotry against white people and men; attempt to redefine bigotry into something so vague that you could be lynching people on account of their race or sex and still not be guilty of your buzzword bigotry; in other words, attempt to turn it into nothing more than a meaningless stick to beat white people and men with, and to unconditionally maintain your status as the "good guys"
>accept double standards, especially in regards to male and female sexuality
>refuse to criticize a movement that will be glad to show western women what true oppression looks like because you're scared of getting your good guy card revoked
>attempt to redefine censorship so that anybody who opposes your movement is censoring you
>"progressive"
This is a buzzword if there ever was one. You just want bigotry and censorship for different group of people. By the way, you people are the establishment. Your people rule over the media and academia, and big business and politicians are both scared to openly criticize you.
The people who are actually looking to move humanity towards a more equal, fair, and rational world don't go around calling themselves "progressives".
Her design honestly isn't that bad. At least she doesn't talk about how muchtougher women are.
Remember that /v/ cries about Zarya a hell of a lot more than feminists or SJWs cry about Widowmaker.

The qualities that make SJWs horrible people aren't their passion or opinionated nature. Apathetic people actually tend to be bad for the political landscape, especially if they vote. Getting worked up and being engaged in politics is a good thing.
What makes SJWs horrible people is that they actively work against the great things that they claim to represent: equality and individual freedom, including the free exchange of ideas. They're probably the biggest threat to an equal and open society that exists in the west in the modern day. They've just replaced the 1950s establishment with more of the same shit. Now that they're the ones in charge, they're looking to take away the freedoms of the groups that they don't like.
>>336557781
I find it really confusing and somewhat bewildering that so many people can whine and bitch about equality and then all the things they demand is basically revenge via the law.
>Roadhog hooks me, I instantly pop my shield he shotguns me bringin my charge up to 100. I MELT HIS FUCKING FACE, and the rest of his team.

These people attempt to redefine words that are key to the image that they want to have of themselves into vague, nonsensical shit. Why? Because reality doesn't align with what they feel.
Obviously, they don't care much for reason.
>>336558147
We saw that in full swing with Gamergate. Big companies are very quick to hop on board with "women are oppressed, gamers are misogynists" , regardless of how poorly supported this notion might be. Why? Good guy points. They're horrified of coming under fire from the regressives. It's also accepted in academia, again, regardless of its lack of foundations in empirical evidence.The news media has completely failed to represent what GG has to say, despite the fact that there's no shortage of documentary and plenty of things that tie every facet of GG together.
Yes, the regressives are the establishment.
>But GG has extremists who really do hate women!
It's stupid to judge a movement based off of its extremists. You should instead look at its goals, and determine their purpose from there. While men who want women out of gaming are likely to identify themselves as GG activists, most people who identify as GG will never even come close to saying anything like that. They might attack the paranoia of anti-GG, the misrepresentations of online banter as discriminating against women, or the bullshit of certain types of girls who pretend to be into games for attention, but none of those suggest that they want women gone.
>You did that with Islam!
The overwhelming majority of the Muslim world is not a handful of extremists.
>You did that with feminists!
Again, feminist college professors are pushing things like sexual objectification as a widespread problem and various myths like the paygap and the 1-in-5 rape statistic, while pushing for the elimination of due process for people accused of rape. This is mainstream feminism.

>>336559513
People should defend their fucking positions.
Do you know how free speech protects us from dumb decisions and oppression? Undefendable positions (such as those presented by the regressives) get fucking destroyed in an environment where people are allowed to shoot down misinformation and provide viewpoints that disagree with those positions. By the way, if you walk away with your feelings hurt because your behavior made you look like an idiot, that doesn't mean that you were just censored or oppressed. That means that you just made a fool out of yourself, and a lack of censorship allowed other people to point out that you're a fucking idiot.
>>336559740
>>336559838
Ten shadowy figures sitting around a back room conference table? No. Large movement founded in ignorance and hypocrisy? The rotted waste scraps of the civil rights era? Yes. Leftists have had about 50 years (since they really started winning the civil rights fight) to cement themselves as the new establishment. They're proving that they're not really any better than their predecessors, and that liberal ideas are not inherently leftist.

>>336560771
One of the biggest point of the GG movement was gamers getting angry at feminism's bigotry towards them, and the journalists seemingly being eager to misrepresent gamers. Zoe Quinn buying off the journalists was the last straw.
I'd say that pushing misinformation and dismissing (not to be confused with refuting) those who argue is the very definition of a breach of journalistic integrity. This is not behavior becoming to being the guardians of the free flow of information.

Someone who's extremely active in church activities and tries to convert people regularly isn't an extremist for Christianity.
Extremists Christians are people like the Westborough Baptist Church who would have us execute gays, or those small town communities that would ban science from schools in favor of religious education.
If you want classify not being lukewarm as extremist, I'll gladly take the title. However, that's generally not what the term refers to.

He didn't say that. That's not the point.
Lightning has pink hair. Zarya has pink hair.

AntiSJWs are too young to remember those games. They literally grew up in the brown and bloom years and now believe seeing a colour in a game means they're being brainwashed by cultural marxism
>>336566567
In the 90s, both guys and girls liked confident female characters and other "SJW shit"
During the 00s, after 9/11, all media got more conservative. It wasn't commented on, because it happened naturally. I'm sure you all noticed that media in the 00s really wasn't nearly as FUN as it was in the 90s or 80s. And also, during that time the news was always so serious that nobody would think of making as issue out of the portrayal of characters in fucking videogames of all things. But now things are calm again and people are ready for less conservative media again.
Problem is nowadays there's a whole lot of young people who literally grew up in the conservative years and never experienced those fun decades, and to them, this rise of "the liberal menace" is a threat, something scary and new, something that will ruin all "their" games, TV shows, and movies. The majority of active anti-SJWs are actually under 20.
Don't forget, there are people on 4chan who genuinely seem to think that there was no media ever made that appealed to liberals before tumblr showed up. How they'd react to older Star Trek episodes, I'd love to know.
