I mean, if you only play characters based on what they look like and not just because you find them fun. Chances are you aren't the audience for this type of game anyway.

This is getting circular, are you just baiting?
Some of us just simply give a shit about this industry and letting developers create whatever they want.
We had to deal with Jack Thompson and religious right in the past, now we have to deal with feminists, video game journalists and other parasites.
They all attack the industry for the same reasons, they all want the same results and they use the exact same methods.
On-topic; I dig how overwatch get's praised for diversity by the tumblr club, when it couldn't possible be more stereotypical.
What a nice group.That no such review ever actually appeared on the site should tell you a lot about Gamergate’s relationship to the truth;
On a serious note: It doesn't say you lot played a role on its demise. It just says gamergate was an annoyance. As an additional thing, I should remark there is a lot of irony in a group that bitches about the abuse of social media to silence speech using the same tactics. Ultimately itwas Hulk Hogan that defeated gawker in the court
lol at all the alt right cucks saying diversity has nothing to do with the games success.. its a part of the games image.. people play games for the characters and the whole fantasy of it all.. there are many things to enjoy about a video apart from the mechanical part of it. You must be the same people who play wow to stare at logs and graphs playing fotm classes instead of playing for fun. Why is diversity a bad thing? Guess fucking what we all live on planet racist scum

There was plenty of threat, of everything from social pressure to people having their personal life targetted.
Plenty of japanese developers came out and said that the social climate people like anita have created in the west meant that they no longer wanted to release games here.
If you had paid any attention whatsoever, or wasn't so fucking biased you would know.
Yeah they said that, got all the attention they needed, released the game, made money. easy advertisement. Kinda like what Overwatch did with Tracer's ass. One person said a thing in the beta, and even suggested Widowmaker get the pose instead, but nope. The internet rage machine did its own thing. Seeing it now with D.Vas police skin. Literally one thread on Tumblr about it, and every single facebook group made it into an actual issue, and then it was picked up by gaming media.
Hell Japanese games have been censored for decades. Hell even Paper Mario and Animal Crossing got censored.
She was a big thing before Gamergate was even a thing, stop spreading this bullshit.
She managed to create attention for herself perfectly fine without having to rely on people pointing out her obvious bullshit, the only ones you should blame for giving her the popularity she got is trolls and the beta orbiters who couldn't keep their fedoras down.
Gee, it's almost like GG actively fought against this crap by the gaming media.
And it's 2017, media should not be censored or fall under people forcing their own morality or sense of shit justice during localization on it.
People throw a hissy fit over that video games should be considered art, yet they are perfectly fine with the same "art" being censored.
It's bollocks.

I'm having a hard time seeing how we square away the declaration that we aren't racist/sexist/whatever-ist with the notion that we tolerate works with this much diversity. The spread in character design, even if forced, should not be a problem whatsoever for people who truly don't care about race/gender/etc.
