I really enjoy playing Overwatch.

But it makes me think about an argument I had with a old coworker a few years ago about Team Fortress.

It’s shitty that Team Fortress doesn’t allow you to play as a woman, was my point. The game is clearly fun, but it could be even better.

I don’t really see the demand or need for it, was his.

It’s a game with an incredibly strong, deliberate design sense, and you can’t say the demand isn’t there when half the cosplayers I see are women doing genderbent versions of the classes. Half the fan art, too. They should add a female model for each class and let people choose, was my point.

Frankly I approve of the Overwatch model. You have a diverse cast of various ethnicities, body types, backgrounds and genders and they all have great designs and are almost all hot as fuck.

this just proves that MUH DIVERSITY shills are white women's study majors

blizzard played them like a fiddle

there isn't a single african-american in the game but they don't complain because all they care about is X number of women and not even good female characters

the TF2 demoman has more character and personality than all of overwatch's characters. blizzard truly are the master shekel collectors

As a minority, this.

Every represented non white race is like what white people think of the race. It's like more informed black face.

I don't mind it, but don't act like it's the diverse cast every game needs to have. Besides that it should be minorities representing themselves, not messiah white people. Deus Ex did that right with a writer that actually lived through apartheid, and they're not wagging that cock about.
>>
>>342379460
I'm not being ironic either, I'm totally into how Overwatch handles things. And the diversity shit feels much less forced given the setting's theme of cooperation between nations. A little sugary for me but it works. Plus the characters are all very well designed. Nobody is just RACE X WEIGHT Y GENDER Z, it's all very cohesive and aesthetic. I'm a big fan of the style.

Game has flaws though. Did they ever narrow the hitboxes?

I cannot disagree more. There's no disputing the east's mastery over waifus but the sun has finally set my friend. They're utterly lacking in varied waifus. For example, their mastery over thickness is limited to Queen's Blade and a few other adult manga pieces. They just don't get it. Add in their often chronic sameface and obsession with young schoolgirls and you've got a culture whose perversion can no longer match the experimental fuck furor of the west.

God damn am I proud to inherit western virtues like lusting milfs, amazons, thicc bitches and yes, regular girls as well.

Diversity adds nothing to the experience. Just make whatever characters you want.
If you want to make a Mongolian throat-singing rapper as your main character, go for it. Just don't think you're breaking new grounds by making your fictional imaginary character come from someplace else in the world.

Also, never listen to white women or Asian-American women. Or black women. Just don't listen to women period.

You can call me an optimist if you like but I firmly believe we shall overtake the east in this regard. One of the most powerful forces in our media right now is a call for diversity, often shouted by the uglier less desirable creatures in our world that refuse to take care of themselves and present a pleasing aesthetic to their comrades. It's a loud clamor though, we've all heard it. But you know what's even stronger than that?

Pure lust my friend. You want diversity? So do the cavepeople shouting in the back of our species' collective head. Through dick, unity.

I wouldn't say this as an absolute. There is a few interesting things that Diversity can add to a cast of characters. Even the example you gave is interesting. It depends on the product it's in, though.

Black vikings don't add anything to a story about vikings unless it's a joke game, for example.

Being able to play as a female doesn't do much for my enjoyment of the game. It's not like I don't like characters for the character, but that's independent of genitalia or gender identity.

I like playing Zarya because she's Ivan Drago who's racist against machines, not because she's a woman.

As someone who has created characters and then found gay "fanart" of them (draws by someone who's never experienced the real product), fuck you.

The ONLY place artists have full control over their characters is in their official work. As soon as you put it out there, some pervert is gonna slap dicks on their shoulders or change everyone's gender and misinterpret and bastardize your work. You know what? Fine. It's your right to do whatever you want. Fair use.

But don't tell creators how they should be making their work. If you want it done your way, YOU make something worthwhile instead of sitting on your fat asses and whining.

There aren't female player models for TF2 because putting an arrow through a guys skull, backstabbing them, or lighting men on fire and killing them with an axe is a-ok, doing so to women is ~problematic~. It's only a matter of time until whales complain that being able to do the same in Overwatch is just as bad.

The character's skins don't necessarily reflect the cultures they come from but sometimes they do. For example, Torbjorn has an American Biker skin but is very much the last white man in sweeden.

I'm right with this. Honestly, I like seeing varied characters and I'm fine with more black/asian/women/whatever people in videogames, but I hate it when people (generally people without an ounce of creative talent) telling professional artists what they can and cannot create. If a team wanna make a game full of straight white dudes or a harem of huge titted chicks, then fine. It might be boring as shit, but that's their choice. Judge it for what it is, not what you want it to be.

I set the game's audio to Japanese though and have already completely forgot about their nationalities. The Japanese voice pack's got Hachikuji, Rory, Santana, Precures, ara aras, and so on, so it sounds like an anime every match; which is wonderful. I couldn't stand hearing gooks speak and amateur hour english voice acting, so I'm glad they added the option. Don't recommend it to any non-/jp/sies though. It's still important to know what they're saying.

This is because in American they are the primary minority in the country. Many people try to argue Hispanics due to their size, but they only exist in that frequency in certain parts of the US. Also, Blacks are the loudest of any group about issues that even may concern them.

But that doesn't fit the aesthetic. Adding women would have been straight up pandering.
They work for fucking Mann Co., did you ever consider that? Game also takes place in the 60s. Of course there will be a demand for women characters, but does it justify undermining the developer's design intent?

Devs should be allowed to make the games however they want. If they want go crazy with diversity and throw in transgender iraqi/aborigine characters, whatever, as long as they arent doing it because they feel this sort of obligation to represent.

Am I being baited? Because if so, bravo, you got me. Its disturbing to me that there are actually people who think like this.

Overwatch and diversity mesh well with the story because it is the entire world versus the Omnic. So naturally a team of the best would be made up of all sorts of nationalities.

You are less likely to find one of every color in feudal Japan or in an American army. Diversity has to make sense, not just plastered all over to fill a quota.

The holocaust didn't kill that many people.

Genghis Khan alone killed like 10% of the world's population way back when, and the Arabic slave trade resulted in the deaths of roughly 80 million Africans, with 10-20 million being enslaved.

Smallpox blankets are a load of garbage, considering that the death of the natives came like 70 years before germ theory, and they would have all died regardless because their immune systems were unable to handle the plagues of the old world, so even being the nicest cunts in the world to them would have been their deaths.

Nukes also didn't do shit. More people died to fire bombings than that. If you said World Wars 1 & 2 you would be on the money though, although there are other historical events that rival or exceed them in sheer destruction of population %.

Sorry to kick down your door made of retardism, but there weren't six million Jews in all of Europe. That number is entirely fabricated and if you had any sense you'd realize that in order for Auschwitz to kill 1.1 million Jews they would have had to kill and cremate more than 600 Jews every day for 55 months. If you didn't figure it out: That is completely fucking absurd.

>Nukes?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Tokyo

Literally killed more than both nukes combined, and the British/American bombings of German cities killed more people. In fact, more people died in the African Front.

>smallpox blankets?

Oh look it's a completely fucking ignorant child talking about things he doesn't understand. The Native Americans fought on both sides of every major American war. The Cherokee fought for the British during the Revolutionary War, then for the Confederates during the Civil War. If you think that Natives were actively genocided then you're an ignorant child.

How is it shitty that TF2 didn't have playable women? How would it have made it better? TF2 revolves around cut throat mercenaries in the 1950s and a revolving joke within the universe is that some characters are starved for female attention, so they pine after the singular attractive female character, Miss Pauling. overwatch takes place in a semi-futuristic setting where the playable characters range anywhere from engineers, to mercenaries/soldiers, to medics and to characters who are downright common criminals. There is no strong "lore" reason behind the gameplay; that's all self-contained within the comics and shorts. So they can play it loosely goosey. In TF2 the gameplay world and the world in the comics and shorts are one in the same so there is some required consistency.

If you seriously think that one character who has almost zero personality being female over a male will make a game better, you're retarded.
