Also after spending about two hours crafting a reply to that post I'm gonna take a break from tumblr for a bit cause it's made me late to work and the last thing I need in life is a fandom stressing me out more than my job or the fact I'm not gonna make rent this month

[pika-marthy]

Lmao after fully backing up my arguments on my Overwatch post I'm never commenting on it again and one of the people I put my counter argument against to has basically just replied like 'i haven't even bothered reading this and how did you not expect everyone to hate you for this' like they think I'm upset about all this backlash?? Lmao what a laugh I mean yeah it's pretty shitty that like 5 Whole People think I'm racist but the reason I'm never replying to that post again is cause I'm literally too busy to be arguing with assholes that are literally racist themselves but because it's against white people it's apparently justified.

fuck the concept art

the concept art book has made the Overwatch fandom literal cancer

People being all like ‘i want my sweet sensitive black character who’s probably gay’

Have y'all met Lucio or do you just forget he exists???? Overwatch is so rich with different cultures and characters but you’re so focussed on what one white character could have been you’re forgetting characters that already exist.

Personally I love Mercy - as a white Brit I find it really refreshing to hear her speaking German rather than just being standard American! (Or the horrific British stereotype they forced on Tracer lmao sorry Tracer mains)

But the main point of this post is the culture and strong characters already in the game -we’ve got Doomfist, an activist, a fighter, incredibly intelligent and most importantly a leader but you want soft and sensitive? One word: Lucio

This sweet boy doesn’t get anywhere near enough attention - he’s a strong role model, a sports icon, a musician and most importantly: a healer.

Lmao the main message I got from my response was the fact I only mentioned two POC characters and that means that the whole of Overwatch is undiverse and I am racist and wrong so...

@blackbitchery firstly damn you're salty about this post, secondly if we had more than one mercy-style healer in game it would throw the balance - I'm not saying people can't have fun w/their art and fics but a lot of what I've seen is people suddenly being INCREDIBLY hateful to the mercy we already have which fucking sucks because I think she's sweet and deserves better.

Next up @the-real-antifa im literally on the edge of my seat waiting for Blizzard to add more black characters - personally I'd love to see more characters of African descent - I love Doomfist (as a character I think his abilities threw the game a little though) and I'm so glad for the voice actor they chose for him and that it wasn't Terry Crews because that cheesy ass old spice voice just wouldn't do him justice. I just don't like the hate current Mercy is getting nor do I think the addition of another mercy-like character would do any good to the game! I think another tank or defence hero would be good and if they'd like to make them a sweet, supportive character that'd be pretty great! @warchief-windrunner I'm not saying it shouldn't be diverse, I'm saying that it is diverse and that because one character could have been black everyone is losing their minds, I've seen one post about the fact symmetra could have been white but none of y'all have said a peep about that.

@rinokumuraegin well you're just accusing me of shit I don't do - like I don't say anywhere 'we need more white characters' I just want people to leave the canon mercy we have alone. I love her German origins but no where do i say that we need more white characters cause guess what??? I think you know it: we don't.

@rosewater-mamas yeah I probably fucked up stating that I'm both white and British but people would have figured that out anyway and still seemingly pinned this as racism. I ain't saying we shouldn't get more poc characters, I think people should appreciate what we have rather than aggressively saying that one character should change based on the concept art because that character in particular isn't diverse enough. And ok? Yeah I'm a little salty but that's because if there was this much hate over Symmetra being changed from white to Indian and there was people screaming and shouting over the concept art and saying she should be white or if there was this much uproar about McCree's original confederate design instead of the sweet, probably native, almost definitely lgbt McCree we've got - there would literally be riots. For example: if fans were claiming Symmetra should be white because of the concept art, people would say that they're racist and would want to say something to all the racists that are hating on poc Symmetra. Not to mention for the most part this isn't disappointment - this is flat out 'I hate canon mercy lily white piece of shit'.

Because the point I'm getting across is hazy - but none of you read the original tags so no one knows that - what I really want to say is that I love current Overwatch. I think the characters are incredible - they each have their own story, they come from different countries and have different backgrounds and they even made sure that the white characters they included were diverse. Because I only spoke about two characters I could then go off on a rant about the rest of the characters and how they are all strong, diverse and beautiful individuals but doing that would just make me seem unable to hold a solid argument. Although this particular argument is incredibly wobbly and was written while I was high so a lot of the points I wanted to get across and that I thought I did: didn't because I was high and if any of you 'let's jump on this trainwreck lmao look another racist white person' bandwagoners even read my tags you'd know that.

I never expected this post to get this big, my posts literally never get seen - I just thought people would see it as an empty statement like the rest of my work but ok cool I hope these answers satisfy my unjustified arguments and help people see the actual trash that the Overwatch fandom is 🙃

Have fun I'm never replying to this post again! I'm not cut out for justifying every little thing I say to salty strangers and this is why I never post anything serious on tumblr 🙃

hey guys, I’d like to say thanks for the supportive messages and the concern. it means a lot, really. I’ve had a few people ask if there’s anything they can do to help, so here’s kind of a condensed masterpost on that.

My Etsy shop

My PayPal (now featuring my shiny new legal name!)

My cash.me

And I’m currently open for cross-stitch embroidery commissions!

Realistically, I know I’m not going to be able to get out of my shitty living situation right now. The goals I’m working toward right now are a new laptop (~$350) and a tricycle (~$300) (I can’t drive because of anxiety issues, and can’t ride a bike due to balance issues, so an adult tricycle is my only option at this point). My current laptop is getting ready to bite the dust and if it goes, I’ll have no way to manage my Etsy shop. The tricycle will be a big deal if I can get it, because right now I’m completely dependent on my family for transportation because there is nothing within walking distance, so I have to rely on them to drive me around. Every little bit helps, and even if you can’t afford to help out right now, a reblog would be extremely helpful!
