Feminists complain Mei is too thin. Another Overwatch controversy! - PC Gamer

[Jessicka]

Can outrage culture please be over? Please? Can we PLEASE stop nitpicking every tiny little thing like this?


inb4 you hate women because my professor told me so

This is the problem. This and her hands floating in mid-air in her hands-on-hips victory pose. The model is straight up broken, it's nothing to do with SJW outrage.

[Torgent]

It was a bug.....anything to insult "feminists"....

[CaptainV]

Cringe is real.

Seriously getting triggered over a bloody slim character?

Get over yourselves who ever is getting offended by this, seriously, Mei was wearing arctic padded gear, she wasnt fat from the start morons.

Undoubtedly someone misunderstood that arctic gear=fat female character which is just, facepalm levels of cringe.

God, why are we still having issues over things like this, why?

Its so petty and pointless to even bring it up anymore. Who ever is getting offended I say, Be offended nobody *cares*.

Its only annoying enough to reply to because people never shut up about it, like a bee that never stops buzzing in your ear.

Nope, D.va holds that title.

[Immitis]

[pateuvasiliu]

Mei has never been fat though? She just has a thick suit.

Depends on your definition of fat, for some Mei is fat... for others she isn't. Either way, her waist is too small in that ... it is an error in the programming that was overlooked.

[Averrix]

People need to get a grip on reality if this is a problem for them

[Daedius]

Ssssh, if you stop paying them attention they'll disappear.

As reported by Kotaku

Seriously? I'm really getting sick of blizzard back peddling at this kind of shit. It makes me not want to support them or their products when they're constantly bending over backwards.

Bending over backwards to fix a bug? Were you this upset when they fixed your name not properly appearing over your head on the victory screen if you were playing Mei?

[Uriel]

I like my girls to be chubby. I demand a juicier Mei

Nah just kidding, I respect women inner beauty and if she wants to lose weight she might.

[Rusken]

Why do you hate women?

What? How did you possibly.. Actually no, I really don't care. Yes I hate women. Is that what you wanted to hear? *sigh*

[DesMephisto]

mei has more porn of her than any other overwatch character

Nope. http://kotaku.com/overwatch-heroes-r...hes-1790993326 would be actual evidence supporting a claim. While only searches, it carries more weight than your empty statement of ignorance.

Err, what? Skeletons control animation; they're basically lines and joints. The model is what gets "hung" on that skeleton. The waist size is entirely model-based, not skeleton-based, and wouldn't require any tweaking of that skeleton. Heck, you could slap Roadhog's model onto Mei's skeleton, in theory (scaling it for height differences), and then he'd do Mei's emotes and such. There'd probably be some clipping, but that's it.

There could be rigging issues if her robot and clothes (which are probably parented) are done so to specific points on her model that are noticeably farther from her body on her standard parka model.

The back and left side of her blouse/dress are very clearly suffering from this problem. They taper outwards to meet the area where her parka would normally end but have to do so at a much steeper angle; ergo, it makes it look screwy.


Her hips also don't make a lot of sense with her being that skinny. She'd have one hell of a lumbar problem.

Wrong. There is the issue of the bug, which should obviously be fixed. But there are also people bitching about how thin she is with that skin.

[Tenjen]

This is just the usual fan wank involving a few people posting shit on both sides on social media like people do about every topic. Except kotaku decided to make it "news" which is like if fox decided to cover conversations in bars as news. Saying "feminists" as if its the movement itself posting and not some random posters, is eyerolling.

The issue is that the model was disproportional from the back unintentionally, and the designers didn't notice it until recently. Its a common mistake especially when characters have backpacks.

I've not actually seen this, I've seen plenty of Trump Youth bitching about these people, but I've not actually seen the original bitching to be bitched about. There may have been, but it has absolutely nothing to do with what's gone on here. It's like the out of character Tracer pose all over again, rewriting the narrative to attack feminism essentially.

[minteK917]

Anyone has a link to the actual feminist stuff lol? All i saw was the bug report thread, which is clearly a bug with her butt robes. Its like she has a square shaped ass.
