  • Overwatch 2 is doing some little things for Pride this year, which I thought was really nice so I made a quick video going through everything!
    00:00 - Introduction
    00:07 - Was this a distraction?
    00:37 - Cop cars gone

    i think the main issue most people have is how corporate pride events feel. They aren't made by real people with real intentions but faceless corporations with controversial histories. A pride event from Blizzard of all companies feels very insincere no matter how they handle it because of their history. I like the idea of pride events in games but they usually end up very half-assed as a very vocal part of the most playerbase's is often against the idea.

      To be fair, the amount of in-game references to these for those particular characters is really limited.

    I'm happy it's here, irked it took them years, and think the timing of the pve announcement next to pride was intentional. Banners are good, and I'll use them, but I wish they didn't have the center design stripe disturbing the flag colors.
    Edit: Now I'm in game and I see that pride icons are in a section by themselves, literally last in the list. I get no notification of pride event, no newsfeed item about it, no new graphics at start. If content creators hadn't told me I'd literally have not known it was even happening. This feels absolutely bare minimum.
    2nd Edit: I see the modified map is buried in arcade without a label, not in the main game. Which I guess means they're less proud of it than morning and evening versions of maps. This feels less than minimum, insulting even, and this feels very intentional by corporate.

    For the real reason why the Rainbow icon is called Rainbow and not Pride or Rainbow Pride is because Overwatch back then was a all universal game, and in some countrys, celebration of Pride in any way shape or form is deems illegal so if Overwatch were to say "Rainbow Pride" Those countrys would no longer have Overwatch in there country, making them miss out on money.

    Although I am aware rainbow capitalism is annoying and Blizzard (as a corporation) aren’t necessarily doing this out of the kindness of their hearts, it’s still nice to see that some effort has gone into this! The name banners especially look really cool, and I’ll always take companies pandering to the LGBT+ community for money over them not even pretending to care.
    As for any bigots who have their widdle feewings hurt because queer people exist and are acknowledged, get bent. Cry about rainbows some more or something.

    • @Lissa2355
      @Lissa2355 Рік тому +2

      Disagree. I belive they chose this time to announce the cancellation because it's far enough from the Galatic whatever event (that was mainly to sell skins) and from the next season (when they want to sell BPs) that they hope the backlash won't interfere with their gains. Also, the pride event isn't selling anything significant, as far as I know, so it's one more reason to not care about one being closely followed by the other

The current narrative in the gaming community and UA-cam and around the popular media is against the gay relationships. But having a pride event like this in a game is supposed to make the gay people feel they are part of something, giving them a sense of normalcy. Even though you guys can argue big corporations are just using it for money right now the opposite is happening. The Boys clearly depict the bad things like racism, gun violence and other things which are considered woke now.

Also someone doesnt agree with me, I'm not rude and just agree to disagree.
    So then y do I HAVE to accept them? Y teach young kids, like kindergarteners and stuff. Just have the idea be known in like middle school and have extra classes if they want to. WHY basicly force it onto them, and impute it into the basic classes? cant we just agree to disagree and keep religion and beliefs OUT of school? or like just have extra classes for the kids who agree with different things?
    Most of my friends dont like going to school because they feel like they HAVE to believe and support what other people believe and that they cant jist mind their own business.
