I did not suggest anything. You suggested that Overwatch would be unrealistic if it had multiple lgbt+ characters. What I said is that by applying real-world statics to the game the cast would not look as it does now, because, surprise, it already doesn’t follow real-world percentages and proportions.
I brought the race point because if you are taking random samples of the world population, statistically speaking, you have a way bigger chance to select someone from Russian, China, or India than someone from Guadalupe.
Now, you bring the point of Overwatch being an international organization and that’s what justifies its current diversity. However, being an international organization doesn’t mean it follows world proportions either. For example, in the lore, Russia didn’t join Overwatch, so there aren’t Russian agents(even though there are 2 important Russian characters in the lore). And, the people that join were selected by skill, so there wasn’t a random worldwide selection.
Looking at the current cast of characters the data pool is already very biased. For example, there are a lot of characters that are in the military, and the exact number of people in the military that are lgbt+ is unknown(I’m talking real-world) because they hide for fear of being persecuted. There’s also scientists/researchers in Overwatch, and in academic places, they are usually more accepting of lgbt+, surpassing national averages. However, it depends on which area of study the scientist is from.
Here’s my entire point. Using real-world data to analyze and justify the prevalence of a certain group of people in the cast of the characters of Overwatch(or any game), doesn’t make sense because the data is biased from the start, by the writers/developers*. And if you take the lore into consideration, the game takes place in the future, post man vs machine war, in a fantasy setting, which makes it impossible to know the populations distributions in that world.
*Hell, even the human/robot relationships are always a “male” robot with a white woman(usually blond), just because
