this is called “concern trolling” folks, look it up
i wouldn’t worry about it. since monkey jokes have never held any validity when referring to anyone brown. in fact, quite the opposite is true: academic.oup.com/mbe/article/28/7/1957/10485961
whether bug or deliberate, reality always prevails over bitterness.
Based on the context clues, it sounds like she says this line for anyone associated with rapid and insane movement abilities. All four heroes fall under that category, so I don’t see why it has to be about race even if it is a bug.
I mean… the bug effects literally everything and everyone. My teammate Mei killed a Widow the other day and said “Oh no! I’m hope I’m not mad at me!”
Couldn’t recreate this in the training area. The voiceline triggers for Junkrat and thats all I can confirm lol.
Don’t think it was suppose to be? most Wikis for Overwatch indicate that voice line is suppose to occur with only Junkrat and Roadhog, I’ll test this in Practice Range to confirm it and i’ll edit this post.
EDIT: So far, I’ve only managed to make it happen for both Roadhog and Junkrat, probably because they are Junkers which is the meaning of the line, OP’s argument hasn’t happened in my testing.
Plus, most mobile characters, such as Sojourn, share a voice line with Queen where Widowmaker says in French “Calm Down”, so I don’t think that’s the case.
It’s confirmed guys
Widow is now based
OP is either a massive troll or they just self exposed their true inner beliefs
YIKES
I’m not trolling, it really struck me that it hadn’t been removed yet! It’s been in the game for several weeks now, I only just brought it up because I thought it would be gone by now.
But you’re not black. So you can’t speak for them.
It wasn’t intended as a racist slur, she does say that about Junkrat and Roadhog. So really doesn’t have anything to do with racism.
It’s not racism if it happens to everyone. Besides, this is Widow, she doesn’t see race, only soon to be dead people.
Hamsters don’t live in a zoo. Apes and monkeys aren’t the only animals at the zoo. You didn’t think this thread through very well.
I think… I’d want to be a toucan. They are tropical, and kinda silly. Just staring at people.
Unless we can count aquariums. Then a jellyfish for sure. Floating around aimlessly…
What a reach from this guy
Can i be the triceratops please
That is a you problem, OP. But also, there will always be voiceline combos that can come off as racist
“I’m dressed to kill-”
“blacks-”
“next.”
“Blacks-”
“I’ll see you in hell.”
for reaper for example. Blizz don’t care
No surprise, the game is a buggy mess, sometimes when using in game comes like, I’m with you, hello, thank you. The chat shows up the wrong player name for the wrong hero.
There is still a voice chat bug in custom games that has been there since custom games where introduced.
I thought increasing monetisation would get us updates faster, but I guess not.
These are fictional characters… please go outside.
Probably a Panda.
Just sit in my corner watching the other animals argue, too lazy to care too much. Then occasionally post an opinion or try to make a joke and go back to eating my bamboo.
I think pandas poop a lot too, so there’s also that, lol.
