geguri, one of the best off-tanks in the world, was told she didnt make the cut–not bc she wasnt good enough, and yes, the very ppl who didnt hire her said she was qualified, but didnt sign her bc “ppl would think it was a pr stunt” or “she might get harrassed” (SPOILER ALERT: SHE ALREADY GETS HARRASSED, INCLUDING BY A PLAYER CURRENTLY SIGNED TO SEOUL DYNASTY) or “she didnt have chemistry with the team”

THE BEST KNOWN ZARYA IN THE WORLD GOT REJECTED BY MULTIPLE TEAMS BC SHE IS A WOMAN. ITS ABT SEXISM.

Do like two seconds of research and you’ll find this. https://twitter.com/slasher/status/951551305922809856 https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2018/01/overwatch-league-articles-rebuked-e-sports-consultant-misrepresenting-geguri/48973/ It had nothing to do with sexism, you all just wanna point sexism at everything. There’s always next season if Geguri wants to join, there are better players than Geguri that have yet to be signed as well. “b-but muh representation!11!!”

You must really not like the strawman, huh? Sure thing, just know I disagree with what you say and that I think your mentality towards this thing is toxic. Please proceed.

If you’re already set on an opinion like that and not willing to be open minded about this then there ain’t no point in having a discussion on it y’know?

i mean if you REALLY TRULY want to hear how I see this as racist, then you can just ask or keep reading

and if you really truly don’t care I won’t mind if you block me and move on like

there’s no stopping you and it’s honestly fine by me because when I said “im not arguing with a 15 yo” it wasn’t because I intended to be condescending of you, but because you’re still young and growing and you’re going to make mistakes just as I did at your age

plus it isn’t my job to push you into the right direction on constructively criticizing things and recognizing stuff like racism/sexism in media and what not

so I’m not going to sit here spending hours trying to convince you on how to be a better person or think constructively like a lecturing parent

anyways I’m just going to make my explanation brief and you can view it however you want if you disagree or agree it’s w/e but I honestly got a lot of better things to do then sit here typing about “well this is wrong bc” and what not

Keep reading

“ now I get that this is based off some Orc from WOW that painted his skin with ash, but that doesn’t translate well with a black man who suddenly looks white-skinned. “ If we put what we see into context, we can easily see that this was never meant to look like a white man or represent a white man. If I were to show this to people and ask if they think this were to represent some white guy they would look at me like I’m crazy. It’s ash from a foundry. Also one thing that I forget to bring up whenever I get into these discussions about if it’s racist or not... What is racism? It’s discrimination based on race. Depicting Doomfist as Blackhand isn’t discrimination in any way shape or form. Again, you may see it differently. “ Same reason with Symmetra’s white washed skin to make her seem “undead”. Works with light skinned people, doesn’t with darker skin. It just doesn’t come off right and just looks like they lightened her skin to appear white: “ She’s meant to resemble a vampire, and a more traditional vampire. Vampires are known for having pale skin because they can’t be exposed to the sun and again as someone who is PoC and Asian (much like Symmetra) I am unable to see what’s wrong with the skin. “ There’s a massive stereotype that black men are naturally “aggressive” or “ape-ish” or just overall violent and angry. Doomfist at first glance could fit that description had it not been for OW dev’s pointing out that he’s more calculated and smarter than that except now that they gave him a skin based off an ORC that logic goes out the windowbecause people know Orcs for a common trait: being aggressive/violent/angry“ Actually, if you check WoWPedia and know anything about Blackhand you’ll fnd this neat little excerpt on there. “ A warlord with massive musculature and a dominating presence, the chieftain of the Blackrock clan formed brilliant strategies and maintained rigorous order within his armies. He could always turn the tide of battle. He could always find the enemy's weakness. “ Having great senses in battle and being able to strategize? Sounds like Blackhand is... Calculated and more than just some dummy that goes around killing everything in sight. Much like Doomfist! So essentially, Blackhand matches him in a way, it’s just that he’s an Orc that’s covered in ash after working in the foundry. ok that’s how i see it. now i’m leaving tumblr bye bye

“UWU ur yunger so ur point is invalid”

Way to acknowledge any of my arguments.

“My point is so obvious I don’t need to argue it!”

Sick fallacy bro. You’re a fuckin’ lawyer.

Seriously explain to me why a skin modeled after Blackhand is racist? I’m genuinely curious to why people even think this.

I’ll explain it to you if you calm down and don’t put words in my mouth

and also before I even begin explaining you’re allowed to still enjoy Overwatch regardless of my views on the whole thing

gentle notice to overwatch fandom people who have never played other blizzard games that doomfist’s new skin is based on this guy from warcraft who is an orc with ashy grey skin that is unrelated to any actual human skin tones

d3dans

honestly I’ve been miffed by this game at the start w/ all its casual racism but then Symmetra gets white washed and now Doomfist gets whitewashed PLUS racist Orc comparison

P L U S a gay black man br8king several stereotypes getting replaced by the mercy we have in game now just to play things “safe” w/ it’s fanbase

I think that’s my final straw supporting this game so if y’all could tag Overwatch if I follow you so I could black list it

that’d be gr8

“racist orc occupation”

what the fuck???? I come back to tumblr to see you thinking a skin for a theme park event modeled after a character in warlords of draenor and that his role is racist????

so people that are PoC should all be fucking bastions of the resistance and should all be worshipped because they can do no wrong and THEY MUST NOT BE SAVAGES!!!!

gg tumblr is offended over theme park skins and this makes blizzard RACIST! WOOOP

d3dans

im not gonna argue for a lotta reasons, top reason esp bein because you’re 15 and still have a lot of growing up to do

but also bc I don’t know you, owe you an explanation, AND you seem like you wouldn’t care to listen how this is actually racist so there’s no point in typing a reply abt it

please shut the fuck up if you think doomfist's new skin is whitewashing

Jesus Christ, you fucking snowflakes cry at everything that doesn't seem politically correct and call everything that has to do with PoC whitewashing it it doesn't follow a certain criteria. It's getting fucking annoying and please just shut the fuck up.
