Ashe is a Minority hero

Here’s a picture of Mercy and Brigette’s face side by side. If I took away all color and put out Mercy, Brigette, Widow, and Ashe in a lineup without their recolored skins & hair, would you bet your entire savings account you could guess whose face belonged to who after looking at this picture?

Is human albino even a thing? If so I am pretty sure they don’t have red eyes like hamsters but w/e.

103

Albinism does exist in humans. It’s a lack of pigment, usually resulting in incredibly pale skin, white hair (eyebrows and lashes too), and red irises due to the blood vessels being exposed. Not all characteristics apply to every single albino person, but ashe’s hair and eyes might point to something along those lines.

104

When considering height and their body? Yes.

Just faces? Likely not, but consider the fact that human skulls dont exactly carry a lot of fat…

She probably has some kind of disease that doesn’t let her have color in her iris so that is probably why her eyes are red. I don’t think she is a albino tho.

106

Mascara works wonders.

Brigette’s eyes are rounder and she’s got freckles. I think she has more of a button nose, too.

So, yeah.

111

Like I said, I don’t think it’s going to be a real thing in lore, but it’s an interesting theory.

The actual reasoning was probably, like I said “Lawl anime.” :stuck_out_tongue:

If you want an ugly character in a video game so much, go play mass effect Andromeda I heard that game has top notch character creation /s. Not saying this to just you specifically but anyone who wanted a “different” looking female.

I am happy how a she looks, I’ll probably even learn how to play her. She’ll be my first DPs hero that I’ll actually put effort into learning because of her game style and how she looks.

Or maybe they just gave her white hair and red eyes because it looks cool. She doesn’t look albino imo and until the developers say she is, I’m going to assume she’s white especially since she also sounds white af

114

Maybe, maybe not. I’m playing the game regardless.

115

No. She’s not Albino.

  1. Red eyes are not typically present in humans with albinism. Humans with albinism have blue or brown eyes. They may tinge red or pink, but will not be a solid red. Ashe’s red eyes are actually a sign she’s not an albino.

  2. She’s not pale enough. Go take a look at her in the character screen. Now notice how Zarya and Mercy are both paler than her? She’d be significantly lighter in color if she were an albino. She’d also not have that tan complexion she’s got because the lack of melanin in her skin would have a hard time tanning.

So, yeah. She really fails the albino test.

there are more non white people in the world than there are white people. white people are a minority.

Ow is full of minorities anyways.

118

That is not what the term “minority” means within a sociological context.

119

Eh Overwatch is in the future so genetic engineering and a Rich girl , is an easier explanation. from a design point of view if she was an albino it would of been a bigger part of the story . If widow can be genetically modified to have purple skin and amber eyes . Then ashe can be modified to have white hair and red eyes ,

120

ok so then does doomfist have alopecia because he has a shaved head?

121

Its a person (fictional but a person equally), stop putting signs to things for you convenential state… in fact if she was “albino” she cant stand a single minute under the sun… and plz stop talking about “minoritys” because that’s only works to separate ppl and classify them like classifing clothes by their color.
