[overwatch] wow 3 plurks for OW in one day but this one is Junker Queen related
LOVE☆STRUCK
apparently people are 'disappointed she isn't aborigine'
LOVE☆STRUCK
i'
LOVE☆STRUCK
i'm sorry you
LOVE☆STRUCK
are assuming??
LOVE☆STRUCK
that?????? based on two pictures???????????????????????????????????
LOVE☆STRUCK
sorry an aborigine can't dye her hair blue??????
LOVE☆STRUCK
I'll concede that her skin tone in the promo art isn't that dark but like
LOVE☆STRUCK
also no one's is
LOVE☆STRUCK
Bliz lightens e v e r y one's skin in the promo art (which is a problem I have as well but its its own problem)
яαвιєѕ
Most people I see are more disappointed that we get a hamster before a black women and that the thing has more lore than already established characters like Lucia and D.Va
яαвιєѕ
Lucio*
LOVE☆STRUCK
yes i know
LOVE☆STRUCK
see my prev 2 plurks
LOVE☆STRUCK
where I already bitched about that specifically
LOVE☆STRUCK
but I've just seen people claim that, after seeing literally 2 images of Junker Queen, that she isn't aborigine at all which. there's no indication other than she's Not Dark which is a problem with a fuck ton of the characters already
яαвιєѕ
Ah sorry
яαвιєѕ
Didn't see them
LOVE☆STRUCK
it's ok i'm just sayin', the sun has already risenon that particular rantfest
LOVE☆STRUCK
I too am disappointed that it would seem as though Junker Queen is at least as light as Roadhog which may connote that she isn't of aborigine or maori or other pacific island decent buT YOU HAVE TWO PICTURES
LOVE☆STRUCK
THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE PEOPLE SAYING 'POCAHANTAS LOOKS WHITE' IN THE NEW WRECK IT RALPH MOVIE AFER THE VERY FIRST STILL WAS RELEASED
LOVE☆STRUCK
you've seen herfor TWO SECONDS
LOVE☆STRUCK
we got one pic of pocahontas and everyone swore she looked white and then the damn animation actually happened and everyone swore they CHANGED IT instead of believing that she looked like that already
LOVE☆STRUCK
like literally it's only bothering me bc people are essentially like "oh blue hair and not-dark-as-fuck skin, absolutely 100% is a white girl now"
kilmer．
she might not be white but even if they did say she was aborigine i'd be p mad bc she doesn't have aborigine features at all
LOVE☆STRUCK
i don't think she IS aborigine but her being in yellow lighting doesn't man she's not got aborigine in her
LOVE☆STRUCK
it's a little unfair to say certain people are ~too white~ to be X or Y or Z because a lot of people can be mixed or have other history or whatever but i do recognise that it is not as representative
LOVE☆STRUCK
but for instance a lot of people were saying Honey Lemon couldn't be latina for her appearance which simply isn't true at all
LOVE☆STRUCK
but there are mixed individuals who recognise their white-passing privilege and still belong to whatever heritage they have
kilmer．
yeah! i get that. it'd just be kind of a cop-out in this instance bc australian aboriginal people get absolutely no rep at all, and over here their distinctive features are still widely considered ugly
kilmer．
but blizzard makes every single female character w/ the same delicate disney princess features lmao
LOVE☆STRUCK
oh absolutely
LOVE☆STRUCK
it just, usually, to me, it comes down to "it's the fault of the creator not the character" so it's like water u gon do (aside from make new characters) but there are also those with fair points toward changing it instead or faulting the character or this or that, so /shrugs
