Some voices in the early days of OW: “omg black boombox dude, honorbound japanese bros, swiss neutrality mainhealer, freakin texas cowboy, russian strongwoman… these are stereotypes!!”
Voices now: “Uhh Sojourn doesn’t really represent Canada”

Wait Sojourn is Canadian? With that accent?
Yeah that whole thing is irritating when I saw that complaint

It’s like they expected her to be a man and a lumberjack who lives in an igloo, is half-native and has a pet beaver with a strong accent saying “eh” at the end of every possible sentence.

I haven’t heard any complaints about her not representing Canada, and I very much doubt that anyone saying that was also complaining about other heroes being stereotypes.
Look on the front page today 
Sojourn is Canadian?
but she hasn’t said “sorry” once

Once again:
Her name is based on Sojourner Truth.
Sojourn could be african-american what we dont have in OW either yet.
All her voice lines will have “… eh?” at the end to highlight her heritage.

My complaint is why are the Black characters of overwatch arguably more augmented human with cybernetics than actual human? What is Blizz trying to say happens in the future?

Don’t pretend the idiots saying that about Sojourn are the majority.

I mean if you think physical diversity should be a requirement then that’s whatever, but I personally don’t think diversity of skin color in a video game is nearly as important as game balance
Me neither. I just hate when a character is being judged before their release just because what skin color and gender they have.

This does unironically beg the question though as to how hard they’ll try with her skins and sprays to make her “more canadian”
What, people want her to have syrup on her gun?

White Brit, Maori/White Kiwi, White Australian, White Dutchman. Black Canadian, a country with a tiny 2 percent black population.
~one of these things is not like the otherrrr~
I personally would not be upset if she shot maple syrup out of her gun.

Don’t forget a maple syrup weapon/ability that causes CC.

Her highlight intros will be her eating poutine.
Her victory poses will be her eating poutine.
Her sprays will be her eating poutine.
Her voicelines will be her mentioning her love for poutine.
Her skins will be a mascots… featuring poutine.
Dungeons of Dredmor had the best Canadian memes. Hyborian is an underutilized element and Mei is Canadian.
