Thank You Jeff Kaplan From The Overwatch Team @ugly-hanzo - Tumblr Blog

machine groaning gears churning steam whistle blows in blizzard HQ as the overwatch diversity machine explodes in a puff of black smoke and out on the conveyor belt rolls a third japanese character who happens to be a ninja

for anyone keeping score they added a 4th japanese character who happens to be a magical ninja. i'm not joking.

#coughs up dust #I forgot I had this blog #I do not play anymore #got sick of being called slurs on voice chat lmao

the overwatch fandom was such an insane era for this site. “fanart of him fucking mccree isn’t lore” is like a top 20 haterism to me maybe even top 10

what do you wanna bet that like in a year from now when they’ve fully either canceled or removed every change made for overwatch 2 they just make a big thing out of making a big update going back to calling it just Overwatch. and it’s a whole thing, nostalgia bait and all, complete return to form. i don’t think that’s even that out there honestly

truly obsessed with blizzard confirming the shimadas to be 16 and 19 years respectively older than. their childhood friend. children playing with a still unfertilized egg inside a womans womb. small girl having the shit beaten out of her in training with two 20somethings.

I don’t play either, but the gap between how much I saw tumblr talking about overwatch when it came out and the gap between how much I see them talking about overwatch 2 is stark

The whole Overwatch death spiral is one of the few things that makes me wish I were still back in undergrad because I could have pulled an incredible case study out of the sheer number of axises on which they burned goodwill and alienated the playerbase.

people often accuse overwatch of fucking up by balancing around esports but as someone who knew a lot of people invested in both ends of it it’s actually much worse than that. they were in fact constantly trying to balance around casual players (making changes that exploded high level play every time and were never noticed by casual players) while cancelling everything that casual players actually cared about (events, new gamemodes, cinematics, comics), and therefore managed to succesfully cater their game to Nobody

my gender identity ranks higher than urs on the activision blizzard diversity chart. btw

finally blizzard entertainment has boiled diversity down to a calculable amount. i can now figure out exactly how much a dark skinned brazilian man is worth compared against a gorilla from the moon.

i just think this is extremely funny.

think about it. they'll never have a queer poc because any character that's a person of colour will score enough diversity points for them to not see the need to also make them queer. they took the entirety of human experience and turned it into a collection of meters in order to hit quotas. lucio can't be bisexual because he doesn't need to be, because he does "enough" by not being white. they didn't even think about making lucio be bisexual even though he's a rollerskating dj furry from the future because he brings diversity of "ethnicity" and "culture". this entire system bases the existence of literally every character around how they compare to a cis white straight able bodied male 30 year old.

this is literally default male deviation female taken to its complete extreme. this is THE most performative wokeness i have EVER seen. i almost wish they weren't undergoing the 780375802 other scandals that are happening right now so i could focus entirely on making fun of this.

Okay so clearly Tumblr is blocking the posts about the #ActiBlizzWalkout cause my reblogs aren't showing up on my dash - anyway don't cross the virtual picket line folks and let's stand up for women and marginalized groups in the gaming workplace.
