    The sun is so warm it's almost uncomfortable to lay outside but as soon as it goes behind a cloud it drops like 15 degrees

    this is the first sun we've seen in weeks.

    don't fuck this up for us bleric

    i counted.

    about half of the Overwatch characters so far are white people.

    how can no one pick more than 1 black guy and 1 hispanic guy in a cast of 21?

    Did they really need TWO australians? Did they really need TWO white Americans?

    and did they need to obfuscate the ethnicity of the only hispanic guy?

    I'm turning into a horrible SJW...

    That is a pretty good breakdown from all 6 of the inhabited continents and the Moon.

    It is kind of funny that if somebody made a game set in a world where 90% of humans were black, they'd probably be accused of pandering

    Even if it were like, a world with more sun exposure so black skin would be a really widespread and dominant adaptation

    as a dutiful sjw, i kind of feel like making it a totally even division of characters (across a large pool) could fairly be considered the same. what are the chances we have an even split of white, black, male, female, super gay, whatever characters? when it's 50 champs and only 1 is black i take notice but when it's closer and a smaller sample, i am pretty meh.

    Well, pick up a pack of Goody powders, seriously. If you get one of those sudden brainsplitting headaches or backache, one of those will save you a lot of pain

    but for the love of god don't snort it. You pour it down your throat and then drink water

    If want to do it by pop density those should all be Chinese and South Asian(Indian) but like one.

    It probably more has to do with voice acting and the fact they were reusing assets.

    Also using a black Brazilian is neat because they are kind of a really beat up underclass in Brazil.

    Er...practically all of them are stereotypes to some degree. Not especially offensive ones or anything but still there.

    I guess archetypes might be a better term.
    i'm not taking offense to that, just...

    y'know...... Lack of ethnic diversity is something i just noticed and find weird is all.

    Racial diversity does not mean ethnic diversity at all times.

    It does in the US aka lots of tumblr but the amount of different cultures, languages, and societies in Overwatch is huge.
