I know she’s not human and that makes a lot of people upset but by very definition Orisa is a black woman

If you have a problem with people making so-called demands, again, don’t click on the thread. It’s not meant for you anyway.

those obsessed by race and filling in racial quota in the name of diversity and inclusion are just as racist as those they are fighting against, because they only see people through their racial/gender glasses
i’m not a gorilla, why do i sympathize and relate with winston then ? maybe i’m secretly a monkey who’ve been adopted

It would have been used in the context of 20th century racism (ie what I was referring to in my post). It is absolutely a racist term now, and you’re delusional if you think that’s somehow been a new development.
Would you ever call a white person “pink coloured”? Obviously not, so why would you call someone else “dark coloured” lol
If you think about it, all black women in the OW lore are the most supportive ones.
Theres Efi and her friends, Adawe, Sojourn just to name a few. But no one appreciates the lore enough.
Diversity? We have that. You misunderstand. You dont know what you’re asking for.

Sorry but this reasoning to main a hero doesn’t sound very fun.
There are 32 heroes and sure maybe a woman isn’t black, but we have characters from all over the world, all different countries, all different races.

She’s a robot, she’s a robot, she’s a robot, she’s a robot. A robot being voiced by a black woman is not representation.

Welcome to the world in 2021. That’s how it works. Then they argue from that corner.
That’s like saying Overwatch has no monk representation because Zenyatta is an Omnic. See? Sounds stupid, doesn’t it?

Few objections here. First of all, I don’t like tokenism. If Blizzard haven’t managed to write and perfect a black female character that can be introduced naturally and organically then I don’t want one to be included “just because”.
Secondly…
I’m not fully understanding this line. Are you suggesting that saying “it’s forced diversity” is then expecting a black woman to justify the existence of themselves or of a black female character? Either way, I don’t see how anyone is expecting anyone to justify anyone’s existence.
Thirdly, we already have some…
Who are you to make that claim?
First of all, dark skinned kinda does equal black. At least according to the meaning of the word:
belonging to or denoting any human group having dark-coloured skin, especially of African or Australian Aboriginal ancestry.
“black adolescents of Jamaican descent”
But you said you want an African and Ana is African (Don’t remember who Pharah’s dad is but I feel like he’s Canadian for some reason? So, I won’t include her just in case) I have a friend from Libya whose skin is roughly the same as Ana’s and I can tell you absolutely that he would take offense to you telling him he isn’t black. I know he would because he got offended at me when I made that mistake.
I do think forced diversity is an issue. I think diversity in video games is a luxury, it really enriches my experience with the game because it brings the world together and makes the world immersive and allows me to momentarily forget that it’s all just 1s and 0s. I don’t think it is right of people to demand it though, especially not demanding a specific demographic. Not only are you saying that black characters and female characters are insufficient and expecting, specifically, a black female but you’re also gatekeeping what “black woman” means and demanding a specific shade of skin.
I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but that seems kinda superficial to me.

Then we agree there are no black women in OW?
Good. It wasnt that hard, huh?
So how long have you been a circus performer? I’ve always wanted to see someone jump through hoops in person.
