OW1 ends with 32 heroes: not 1 black woman

The fact that they decided to put a freaking hamster but not a black woman :clown_face:

At least were getting Sojourn for OW2, sucks to wait but hey, it was about time…

Inb4 the “iTs fORcEd dIverSIty” comments: only a racist would want a POC to justify their existence

EDIT: ANA, PHARAH AND SYM ARE NOT BLACK

Ana is a middle eastern woman from Egypt, Sym is an asian woman from India

I understand where you are coming from and I do agree it is disappointing but I think we should also celebrate that Overwatch has such a diverse cast, more so than any other game.

Obviously there’s still room for improvement but I’m happy that we have anything, when so many other game studios refuse even basic representation.

Symmetra is not black? Ana is not really good representation when people say they want a black woman; she’s light skinned and has very standard western facial features.

How is OP racist? Dark skinned female heroes does not = a black woman.

The OW forums are something else.

The first hero they announced for OW2 is a black woman, and by the looks of it, she is a gigantic character in OW2’s overall arching story.

Oh boy here we go again.
People asking about things for no reason and ignoring what the OW roster already has. Cool.

How is asking for representation in a game based on heroes from around the world “asking for things for no reason”?

Hide your bias better.

Because he’s specifically demanding people of a specific gender and race are represented in one of the most diverse video games there is.
