D.va's actual character is lame, insufferable and annoying and I'd cheer for Blizzard to replace her wholesale with the gremlin.

Bet they didn't like her Christmas spray, which looks a lot like Gremlin DVA.

Sick atm, on mobile so no images feom me, but please post more gremlin. Gremlin will power my shitposting engines. Can you really leave a goon without the power to shitpost? It's just cruel. For just a single gremlin a day, you can heal a goon.

I thought the whole "gremlin" thing was just a silly meme based on Hana not liking being called a kid when she was youngest in the group, and kids are messy eaters thus Doritos because gamers, etc. I don't play Overwatch or know their backstories :old:

Just like what happened when the Matrix came out. Overwatch's story isn't that interesting so no loss on not knowing it.

Just like what happened when the Matrix came out. Yeah. Gremlin D.Va is just making fun of the pandering aspect of the character. Anyone claiming it's a racist caricature is literally just mad that the Gremlin itself is hitting too close to home, so they're grasping at straws to try and turn the situation around to make the people enjoying the joke into jerks. Wouldn't be surprised if the person of Pomps source unironically identifies themselves as a Gamer, as their sole defining adjective.

Some people are freaking out that Overwatch is doing a Lunar/Chinese New Year event and D.Va/Mei's outfits are cultural appropriation (nevermind how popular the game is over there), I think it just attracts that sorta audience.

Good grades, popular, good at sports, etc. When she gets home she becomes that gremlin thing, and spends all day playing games and eating junk food. So, it's a D.Va analogy as well. Please don't hate me.

It's 'Himouto! Umaru-chan', it's on Crunchyroll and is good, though she's pretty annoying in the first episode it gets better.

The funniest thing about the whole reaction to that Winnie the Pooh game is that very few people figured out that you were supposed to upgrade your stats, hence the difficulty.

The only problem with the D.Va gremlin thing is like, it's all you basically see out of weird fanart of her. It might be a funny joke, but it'd be cool if overwatch fanart tried doing more than just a single meme/joke forever.

Other characters generally have a bit more creativity applied to them by the fanbase but D.Va's extra one note-y in a cast of one note characters.

I don't mind when there's actually a joke to it beyond 'drew her with doritos and mtn dew' but the problem is that that seems to be like 80% of all the art you can find. At least Mei as a psychopath has some variation to it.
