Can we please hotfix the voice lines below out of the game asap? It sucks killing someone by dropping a bomb on them and Zarya says, “From Russia, with love.” It’s messed up.
“From Russia, with love.”
“I am mother Russia”
“For the motherland!”
“Peace through superior firepower.”"
“In Russia, game plays you.”
“This Russian judge is unimpressed.”
“Let Russia never repeat the mistakes of this country.”
“Russia has no need for Overwatch assistance.”
"Sombra: Your friend, Katya Volskaya… What will you say when you learn the truth?
“Zarya: She’s a hero to all Russians. I do not care what you have to say.”
I don’t care whether you drop them all, if you want to drop only the ones that explicitly say “Russia” that would at least be something. I play Overwatch to get away from all that.
Removing these voice lines doesn’t change anything.
And Remember Russia and the Russian people are NOT the problem, it’s Putin.
Corrupt Politicians are almost always the problem, not the country itself, not its people.
god please don’t give blizzard any more ideas
people explaining why removing russian characters from overwatch that were made 6 years ago would help the war which is not related to overwatch
If we’re talking about cultural erasure, I’m going to have to stop you there. Zarya is Russian. She’s the pride of Russia and she should get to flex that. It just wouldn’t be right if everything culturally significant to her was removed for no real reason.
She already lost her Z, didn’t she? How much more do you want to take from her?
I agree with jeffeff, anyone who disagrees with us need to be silenced plus we must crush all oppositions at all cost.
Where do we start jeffeff, Twitter? how about locking their bank accounts? taking away their childrens? or i have a better idea , how about lock them in someone unknown CIA blacksite prisons and deprieve them their due process say like forever? LOL that sounds like a reasonable solution.

the censorship of an equivocal z to a current Russian military trend is quite legitimate. but you can’t ignore the fact that the Russia EXISTS as a state of the world, bro.
Zarya was born as a champion who DEFENDS her country. She is also central to her lore as an Olympic athlete who represented her country, not just as a military soldier.
and to top it off, here you are intentionally ignoring that many of these vocal lines are easter eggs first and foremost, references to James Bond movies, famous memes, and Russian sayings quite equivalent to Echo’s Singaporean idioms.
as with Symmetra in her old interaction with zenyatta, this too will naturally disappear. but not because of the Ukrainian question, but because the recent New Bloods saga has rewritten this belief of Zarya towards OW as an organization.
in questa interazione di un videogame si stanno riferendo alla guerra del mondo reale o al cortometraggio collegato al videogame? mmmm 












Quote to James Bond. and I would take the liberty of pointing out that all this “sensitivity” in a fps is quite inappropriate and … well, useless with the kind of Russian propaganda you’re assuming to be there. It is bad enough to say that if you are Russian = you definitely approve of Putin’s policy. even if you are a fictional character. 
so sorry, now a bit serious question: can you report the post for xenophobia? because there is a big difference between condemning a national origin and a acepted ideology.
