i heard about the tracers rear end one(some parent got mad about a pose, blizard took it down, outcry but they replaced it with a better one) I havent heard anyone bitch about women of color in it. thankfully. the only bitching i heard was one critic(a know shithead) getting asshurt that tracer was a lesbian because it appealed to the male gaze and it should be made to make men uncomfortable or some poo poo, but he got told to gently caress off by QUILTBAGS and he did. i assume some smoothbrain alt right people did as well. but they get "triggered" by everything and anything progressive.

I just can't imagine the kind of mind that obsesses over a character whose narrative is so paper thin that a 3 panel comic can radically change their entire being.

These must be the same people who feel like their masculinity is threatened because cartoon dads on TV are portrayed as dumb. How do you reach the point where your sense of self is so fragile? I imagine if I was that dumb I'd mistake the coffee maker for an extension for myself and scream in pain every time I made coffee.

Yeah they are dumb fucks, I mean gently caress. i main as tracer in overwatch and i could give less of a gently caress who she fucks. she is fun charater and her "cheers love, the calvaries here" line makes me laugh. plus she is matchs my playstyle the best.

the best part of the tracer drama was that people felt shocked and betrayed by it despite the fact that you could not design a character more gay than tracer without bringing in tom of finland.

no offence. but other then those 2 lovely MOH and 1 cod(and those are all baathest types) and army of 2/1. what the gently caress is there a game that you shoot Muslims radicals. because i play a ton of shooters, most of the times its either mercs, aliens, zombies, nazis or russians. there hasn't been one of those kind of games in years because devs arnt all regressive shitheads like people act like they are.

the new homefront(dont ask me how it got a sequel) tries that. it sorta works but the game is broke as gently caress probably because of dev hell. the new ghost recon sorta does that too.

I kinda figured that most people on the alt-right were just trolling, and this kinda confirms it.

Exception: Richard Spencer, he actually believes this poo poo.

poo poo like this makes me laugh in a sad way because some alt right nerds legit think trump and his friends will give to fucks about "preventing media censorship" or whatever. because we are going back to the right wing culture war days boys and girls when the next school shooting happens. the NRA tried to do it at sandy hook.

Baloogan was marveling at "all the right wing content targeted to kids" and he cited 40k and twitch streamers as evidence.

Sorry about your reading comprehension :(

The point is that Milo, alt-right vidjagame idiots, and /pol represent a TINY MINORITY of youth culture. Their vehemence and level of volume is directly proportional to the amount influence they actually wield. They made a shitload of noise, but Blizzard did not make Tracer straight. It's easy for people who spend a lot of time "gaming" to overestimate the influence of the alt-right.
