so now we now that if they say Sombra is gay they are 100% covering their asses
Is this the CRT math I was warned about?
But this is hilarious. Of course in their attempt to codify how woke they are, they ended up revealing all of the biases they have.
blizzard accidentally proves DeSantis right and introduces CRT-math. This will somehow be a huge blow to Kamala Harris' approval rating.
also I cannot imagine the absolute white noise going on in the heads of whatever blizzard exec thought this was a remotely good idea
literally just looking at engagement numbers. They think they can thread a needle of characters that appeal to some imaginary group of SJWs while also to an imaginary group of reactionaries. Or they want to go the opposite route of deliberately stirring up controversy by making some of their characters "political" so the chuds get mad and the libs rush in to defend the game. They probably got a lot of players when the character Mei became a temporary symbol for lib sentiments about Hong Kong. Now they're trying to figure out how to do that with all the characters is what I'm guessing.
All those overwatch character might straight for now but that's surely gonna change when the next sexual assault allegations come to light at Blizzard.
In deference to the chart, we're now calling them bisexual assault allegations.
They also have two robot characters, so this confirms they both like to fuck the opposite robot gender.
Three. Echo, Orissa, Bastion. One is a hamster. I mean I know hamster have a sex, but I don't think human gender roles apply to them. Also a gorilla. Not really sure how they're doing gender and sexuality and culture for these non-human characters.
Edit: oh an Zenyatta. 4 robots.
I'm sure the great minds at blizzard don't put much of any thought into gender and sexuality spectrum
Gorilla are extremely sexually dimorphic. Idk how that applies to an intelligent gorilla's gender, though.
according to the tool, Brazil (from Lucio's rating) has a Culture rating of 2 while Egypt (from Ana's sheet) has a Culture of 7
:what:
Brazil close to America. Egypt far away. Brazil Christian, Egypt Muslim. I think that's how they did it
so now we now that if they say Sombra is gay they are 100% covering their asses
I always felt like Sombra and the man once known as McCree were extremely bi but that's just my headcanon. Reinhardt too but that's a different story
Reinhardt had a thing for Torbjorn but respects that he’s a happily married man and remains his bro that spends every holiday with them and becomes a second father figure for his daughter.
Junkrat is straight in the same way Madison Cawthorne is straight.
absolutely everything about this algorithm and blizzard so unbelievably stupid in every way.
and their CEO is somehow one of the best paid in the world. good thing they have him at the helm through bad decision after bad decision!
According to this tweet from an Overwatch character artist, the dev team doesn't even use the charts? Or apparently even know much about them?? I assume this was pushed by some out-of-touch suits but surely someone should have been able to stop this since it's such a terrible idea. A character design diversity chart system might make sense for a hero shooter, you know to make sure characters all stand out and don't overlap too much or whatever. But a diversity chart that is deadass about like how gay a character is and how much gender another one has? Unbelievably stupid, like something out a parody.
And like now that the cats out of the bag it's double shit for the devs, anytime they make a character that isn't a straight cis-white male everyone is gonna yell at that them they're pandering to please the chart.
Somebody thought up a diversity algorithm, this is some consulting shit they trademarked and wanted to run around game studios enacting a fee for making a character a gay 5 and a solid cultural 2
Oh cool nothing fundamentally changed after they switched the Medic's über revive to a battle-medic button.
