    The other problems being she's disabled? That's your problem, you don't like that she's black & disabled. The solution getting therapy. You're welcome.

You're complaining about the disabled black character momentarily obscuring your view of the beautiful people, essentially.

    The issue is that black characters in video games face more scrunity than anything else. If she were a white woman which a russian accect I guarantee people would be saying how "badass" she is rather than focusing on why she's unrealistic or ugly.

    But for some mysterious reason those discussions only ever happen when it's a chick that doesn't look like a a supermodel who gets some spotlight, while ugly dudes are all over the place and at most are just ignored instead of being bashed upon or used a springboard for someone's political pet peeves.

    As long as people see "black" as a feature, there's no point talking about this topic.

    "A character can't be black unless there is a reason for it!".

    And yet Gamers don't have a tendency to be racist

    she's also really stupid in the story: "I don't want a functional prosthetic arm because i'm used to not have it"

    I don't like her because she was made with a certain purpose in mind
    Wait, So i want to make very sure im not putting words in your mouth. YOU dont like her because she was made with real life issues other people have an that makes her bad?
    Lets take away the Black part. i wont even comment on that clearly thats a weird reason to not like a character.
    Girlboss would imply shes a badass. which you said she needed to be because shes ugly but now that shes badass shes a girlboss which you hate?
    Not attractive really a eye of the beholder type thing so cant comment on that because i also dont find her attractive but i dont hate her because of it lol.
    Missing an arm doesnt matter because she has a shield arm?
    Blind = "Blind"
    ima be honest i think you just dont like black people my friend.

    To be fair either woman with those characteristics are more realistic than a video game’s body armor, the scrutiny wouldn’t hold. Bodily and mental damage is par the course for army vets.

    To be honest, i'm one who can't stand the insertion of "modern representation" in media. I roll my eyes everytime i see that. However, this one looks badass. I just hope they don't make her too cheesy for modernity sake.

    There's no way that Harronir aren't gonna be an Allied Race.

    People who argued that "Oh, it's just NPC options, it doesn't mean anything" have to be absolutely coping now.

    she has an attitude i think you'll enjoy, i played in the campaign and i think there is 1 or 2 moments like that. More importantly she doesn't do what i thought she would is coddle Anduin

    OK . . . I just did a quest about a Nerubian newlywed asking me to bring her husband back and when I get him to her, she kills and eats him? Which . . . why?

    Probably a reference to how some spider and other bug females behave after copulation.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    Some female spiders will consume their mate after he served his purposed.

    being a girlboss is not problem
    being blind is not a problem
    being disabled is not a problem
    being black is not a problem
    being a woman is not a problem
    being ugly is not a problem

    being all these things at the same time is a problem because you know it's just another attempt of forced inclusivity made by blizzard

    is this that hard to understand?
