Why are Polygon and Kotaku and Destructoid all praising Overwatch when it's just as "p-p-p-problematic" as any other vidya?

What makes the left image okay but the right one not okay? The person on the left isn't even native American, she's an egyptian.

Why does Overwatch get a free pass? Is it because it has Heavy Tumblr Girl?

don't question it by their own fucked logic

In all fairness, I avoid both because I despise pandering and will discard it if I See even a tiny bit of it.

Overwatch is popular. Game on the right is not.

Throwing a popular game under the bus to push your agenda wouldn't be a good idea because popular things have many fans.

>we need an egyptian character
>just slap the eye of horus on their stupid face and call them "Pharaoh"

>"Pharah". Whatever. And put more polygons in Tracer and Widowmaker's asses while you're at it.

But seriously, though. Between Pharah, Lucio, and all the female ass, I wonder why Overwatch doesn't get torn apart more. I mean, the game doesn't offend ME, but it just seems like it's filled with tons of triggerbait.

Anthony Burch actually wrote about how Overwatch's stereotypes are GOOD:

http://pastebin.com/FXsWRhbh

Unrelated, but the ironing of this paragraph fucking slays me:
>Additionally -- and this is a great strength of Overwatch's writing across the board, not just within its more stereotypical characters -- the dialog is not annoying. Characters don't really make capital-J Jokes, and they don't say anything particularly bizarre that would draw your attention more than it ought to. Battle dialog, especially battle dialog in multiplayer games, needs to be frictionless. It needs to convey information, do so concisely, and, above all, not be fucking annoying.

>>339995345
Lucio is safe because he's black and not a total stereotype. His whole backstory is about how sensitive he is and how he uses his status to tackle social issues. SJWs would like him even if he's a black dancing DJ.

Pharah gets a free pass because SJWs love the shit out of strong females that are brown with a vague race. There's really nothing that bad or stereotypical about her except the tattoo and her name, but even her name is just a call sign.
>>
>>339994914
Pharah is perfect
>>
The one on the left doesn't show any skin.

See, the only people who are offended by things are ugly feminists, and they're only offended by attractive women.

Pharah is covered up. Doesn't matter that she's egyptian dressed as a native american stereotype. Native Americans aren't cool. Ugly women are cool.

Well, some actual native americans, including people in leadership positions, have been complaining about non-natives using their cultural iconography for other purposes for many years, so this is just a continuation of a very old discussion. It doesn't generally extend to all references, though, just ones that either rely on false stereotypes or use religious elements inappropriately.
Then you have fringe elements who complain about everything, but obviously they aren't in play when you have someone running around dressed up like Bird Jesus.

He's retarded. All you get from making generic characters is a generic game. There are comics and movies but none of the personality shines through in game. It feels exactly like playing Warframe only all the characters aren't overdesigned to the point of being featureless blobs from more than 2 feet away.
>>
>>339995805
But Lucio is literally a black dude spouting slang just shy of saying "blang blang" and "that is whack", and his power is literally dropping phat beats. He's like something out of the Burger King Kids Club. Next you're going to tell me there's some techy gamer character who spouts forced vidya slang and plays Starcraft professionally. Oh wait.

>Pharah
>vague race
she literally has the Eye of Horus tattooed on her face like she's ready to hang with the fucking Suicide Squad.

I ain't even mad, cause I play a ton of Lucio, and I rock Pharah's Anubis outfit because it's so slick. I just want to know why a big triple A game like Overwatch isn't getting dogpiled, but every other game needs a thinkpiece about how they're racist or sexist.
>>
>>339996584
>she literally has the Eye of Horus tattooed on her face
Yeah, but you're forgetting that SJWs are the type who actually believe Egyptians have always been proud black women. To them, she's some vague brown woman and they love the shit out of characters like that.

SJWs also think they already "won" with Overwatch because of Zarya's design and the redone Tracer pose. They're too stupid to realize Zarya is actually a prejudiced nationalistic family woman, and too hypocritical to care that Tracer's new pose is a pin-up pose because they like pin-up models.

Because according to SJWs "cultural appropriation" is okay if it is from minority to minority.

The costume on the left was made by a racially sensitive team of westerners and they are paying homage to a culture they don't see represented enough in games.

The game on the left is a massively hyped, massively popular game. And if a review site talked out against it, their primary demographic would throw a fit and realize that sometimes reviewers and hype can be wrong. In other words, they would be going against their own fanbase.

The game on the right is a rather niche JRPG. And the average Polygon or IGN reader already hates JRPGs and loves to bash Japanese games. So mocking that fits right into their wheelhouse.

tl;dr: These sites are pandering to what's popular.
>>
>>339998270
not really.

how are you getting the message that they are interchangeable? are you stupid are just overreaching hoping other people are stupid?

Kotaku wasn't against the Bravely Default indian design. In fact, they wrote about how Nintendo fucked up because it was an opportunity to showcase native americans in video games. Even SJWs were against the change.

Does Blizzard have some kind of mandatory ID system that perma-bans anyone under 18? I might get it if so. I'd be happy to pay 40 bucks for a game that gives a massive middle finger to snot nosed brats that ruin online communities.

Because Western game critics are distinctly anti-Japan. Japan is fundamentally different as a culture, and identity politics have been slow to catch on there.

Western culture is increasingly more insufferable thanks to identity politics. Critics no longer criticize, but instead police ideas and portrayal of those ideas.

The left is fine, and they do that cultural mismatch thing with a few other characters.

The reason the right happened was because of self-censorship. Polygon and Cuntkaku may influence it but Nintendo and Square-Enix were the ones who decided that needed to happen. But you're right, it's hilarious they consider that fine when it's literally the sort of white-washing they cry havoc about.
