This isn't fair, there's plenty of LGBT and furry representation in the gaming community.

Having representation in video games isn't a bad thing at all, but it shouldn't be mandatory because then it'll feel forced as fuck and it shouldn't be realistic or relatable, at least not all the time.

There are no 'designated' shitting streets, but most rural people go out in the fields because they believe the shit is good for crops. (It is) In urban areas you can find people relieveing themselves on the corners or roads due to lack of clean toilets/running water, etc. Basically every street is a potentialshitting street and there are no designated shitting streets.

Yes.

Except Symmetra has been confirmed autist, to the point where all she talks about is order, and even has a highlight intro where she straightens the camera.
>>344642402
Headcanon doesn't count nigger. If the character was autistic she would be constantly flailing her arms about and screaming because of something causing a sensory overload that is only detectable by the autist.

>>344640309
You're both way off on representation and how it applies to gaming.
It's not "I'm going to intentionally create a character that is non male, non white, non muscular, in this video game, to pander to specific demographics."
It's "I'm creating a character and I dont want a bland, blank, self insert husk for the player because it doesn't fit the tone. Not only because it's overdone, but because it's boring."
So when there's a canon autist, you can choose to dwell on that. It doesn't cross my mind when I see we could use a teleporter on Numbani. I've never even heard of this character trait outside of this board, and I don't care for the lore of the game.
The purpose of a colorful cast of characters is variety. It's not quota filling. Pharah wouldn't have an Egyptian eye tattoo/war paint if she were a white female, Lucio would lose all charm if he were a white DJ, making Mercy African just wouldn't fit the generally "angelic - white pallate - halo" trope as well. Zarya is a literal paradox and throws all arguments out of the window (which is surprisingly very much like real world human beings with contradictory opinions).
There are no "reps" in Overwatch, there are characters with traits. If you choose to get attached to Mei because you have a thing for Chinese assassins then you're allowed.
>>344644457
Sounds like that's just being delusional
Autism is having social issues and not picking up on social cues
>Literally says she is different because she is on the spectrum
guys I bet she's talking about the light spectrum
>>344644678

Bland boring is subjective, and what people think is bland and boring based on personal bias.
Now you are right to say they do it to make a colorful cast, but they have to make one that pulls gamers in, I. E. Know your audience.
But the point was the annoyance that people need representation in these games. Not that this game is filled with representatives from real life communities.
>>344644757
>spectrum = autism
hurrrrrrr
>>344645254
>What is context
>>344644824
The way you perceive the creative decisions of creatives in video games is entirely formed from your experience, which is outside of theirs.
If you believe Ubisoft had gone out of their way to have one (?) trans character in Assassins Creed Syndicate because they had a trans dev on staff, then you probably believe in other things related to paranoia.
While Ubisoft is a very pc company that advertises their diversity, their doing so is for exactly that: advertising. Not for their games, but for their company and careers in gaming development. It's to show aspiring college grads that there is a space for everyone, even at major companies. Because of this diversity they've been successful. Grants. Donations. Higher volume of applicants. Ubisoft is in a weird position where they feel they need to lead by example.
If a character is gay and written poorly, it will be remembered as a gay character that is written poorly. Gay people won't say "oh yay a gay!" and give him/her a free pass unless they're easily impressed.
It's literally in her backstory comic, it isn't a heaecanon.
>>344637404
Is D.va the only character with something not robotized/augmented?
>>344646217
Roadhogg, Mercy, Lucio
>>344644678
>Zarya is a literal paradox and throws all arguments out of the window (which is surprisingly very much like real world human beings with contradictory opinions).
Huge Russian women is a well known cliche. They show up in Bond films and in other spy stuff, like Alpha Protocol.
>>344642402
That's not autism you fucktard.
Autism is being unable to socialize properly, i.e. you.
>>344644678
I know all that, I agree with how characters should be different to have an interesting cast etc. But when I hear or read about representation in fictional stories, especially video games, it's always in badly written arguments like:
>there should be more non male, non white, non muscular etc. characters in that one specific video game because there are women/LGBT/POC who play these games
I'm not a white guy and yet when I read shit like this, written by people who barely play video games, it pisses me off because it doesn't feel sincere. I really love when games have varied characters if they're well written or if I like the gameplay and the story,
By the way, when I'm said representation doesn't have to be realistic, I meant things like people saying they headcanon whatever character as a muslim or some really other specific religion or ethnic group when the character comes from a completely different setting/world than ours.
>>344644349
>high-functioning savant
[citation needed]
>poor empathy
not true, she cares a lot about people.
That's why she does the shit she does.
>>344646341
Lucio's entire bottom half is robotic.
>>344645127
If you think people who are casual gamers look at Overwatch, check out the cast, and say OH SHIT A SCOTTISH DWARF, BRB GAMESTOP RUN, then you grossly overestimate the investment that casual people put in to game research.
When you're that invested, the game is already in your hands.
I don't know anyone at all who has begged for representation in a game. I don't know all these "tumblr rejects," never seen/heard/read about one outside of accusations of this board.
My girlfriend is a good example to use here. Her response was "who gives a fuck, she's just cute and has a bunny sticker" when it came to me asking if she picked D.VA because she was a female.
No one needs representation. Anyone who feels entitled enough to beg for representation gets ignored. You dont listen to the small minority when you're making crucial business decisions for a video game.

A racist gay white woman in real life who pushes for gay rights is probably one of the most fundemently confused individuals on the planet, and they exist. Not saying this is Zarya entirely, but she debunks any and all claims around "SJW pandering" that gets thrown at Overwatch.
And then there are people paranoid enough to say she was included as a red herring to the real SJW pandering from all the other characters.
>>344646747
Stop throwing corpses in the ganges then bathing in it already.
>>344647128
How is Zarya confused?
She's just here to lift and kill omnics.
And she's all out of reps.
>>344637404
She doesnt sound like autistic person ive ever met. She just sounds like an uptight indian.
>>344646625
You aren't aware of the whole representation of women in gaming?
Or why can't link be a girl, they have been listening but to a point if it effects their numbers.
But I think we are just saying the same thing now
>>344647128
Zarya isn't gay though.
You are a weird person.

>>344647620
They aren't counted in the after game screen, only in stats in your profile
>>344647567
How autistic do you have to be to think this refers to the autistic spectrum?
It translates into "How do I fit into this company"
>>344647252
I was more pointing to how her identity is perceived by fans of the game. When her design was released, this board lit the fuck up with BUTCHDYKE SJW PANDA threads, or how they hated the pink hair, or whatever.
>>344647286
I'm acutely aware of this. And yeah, a bit of overlap, which is my point, which you helped make clear (thanks):
If a gaming company can't safely pander to 50% of the world's population (women), then they cannot pander to any smaller demographic.
Hence, SJW pandering cannot exist. Which proves how blown out of proportion these claims have become.

India is probably the filthiest country in the world. Most people shit in the streets or in the Ganges River not just because of lack of plumbing, but also because of their culture, which includes something about "toilet witches" that will poke you in the asshole.
Also, their "sacred" Ganges River is one of the most polluted waterways on the planet, filled with trash, human excrement, chemicals, and rotting corpses (both animal and human). People consider it a "holy" experience to bathe in it.

>>344640013
You sound worthless. Obviously the importance of each stat varies from character to character but given Symmetras tool kit, killing stragglers and people who overextend is an importance job for her. Her turrets do no damage and literally have 1 hp.
The only time I got gold damage as Symmetra was when I played against the most blind team I've ever seen. I always get gold eliminations though.
>>344655072
That and her pink nails are kind of stupid. And as far as I know the only skins that don't have those are goth and arctic, neither of which I really like

God damn I want her to have the biggest girlboner for Reinhardt or something just to kill the butch meme.
>>344657079
Whether she's a lesbian or not is irrelevant. It's obvious that Blizzard made her to fit the butch female *stereotype* though.

Blatant stereotyping is the oppsite of pandering

Did you not hear her insisting on "arm wrestling" with him?

Except yes.
But those aren't the crux of the argument anyway. That would be >>344658878. The fact that she also actually displays potential symptoms just underscores it and makes it more than lip service.

Wait what? I thought they were all amputees?
They all look like they replaced a part with a robot limb.

>being different means autism
He could be talking about fucking anything
She also displays no symptoms and you are not a psychologist.
>>344659329
>He could be talking about fucking anything
Yeah, anything that is measured on a spectrum, I guess.
Are you a psychologist?
>>344643379
>Then there's you
Ouch
>>344659553
Nobody here is a fucking psychologist.
And yet there sure is a lot of diagnosing going on.
>>344660698
Yeah, because it's obviously what Blizzard intended. You're meant to pick up on this shit even if you're not a psychologist.
