We're fans and we geek out about stuff we like. Y U mad?


Scouring Twitter for random tweets doesn't seem like something that's part of geeking out.

Brazilian is a nationality not a race

You can be white/black/asian and still be brazilian

Pretty sure there is a bit of Scottish in Torb's accent he's basically a walking nod to the Dwarves in WoW lol

Shut the fuck up, do you all lack self awarness this badly?

You all have been bitching about racism amd stereotypes in a game where all the characters are supposed to be stereotypes or caricatures of their respective nation/culture.

Creating witch hunts to see which one of you can get triggered and offended on behalf of literal fucking imaginary characters the most

Lmfao at the comment making note how the leader of the good guys is white and the leader of the bad guys is black.

I also found that Junkertown trailer to be incredibly racist. As an Australian, I am offended.

Literally all my Brazilian friends love and defend Lucio.

I don't think any country hates their represented characters in the game.

But, Blizzard made Lúcio, a Black character, a DJ. They clearly have a racism problem, so shouldn't it be the opposite?

As a Brazilian I actually dislike Lúcio's style. He literally doesn't have an accent (this almost never happens) and likes hockey? What?

If you make all characters white, then people will complain about lack of diversity.

If you make all characters white but have them have traits/personalities of stereotypical other nations/race, the people will complain about whitewashing/appropriation.

If you make all characters diverse, then people will complain about stereotyping.

If you make all characters diverse but not have them be stereotypes of their race/nation, then people will complain about misrepresentation.

You literally can't win with sjws.

Also isn't Orisa black?

Pretty sure Orisa is a robot cow.

And Indian if anything.


They modeled her accent to be West African.

Also that woman tweets some stupid shit.

HE also likes Soccer though his new outfit is a Soccer skin and Lucioball is a soccer game made specifically for him.
