12 of the 25 human characters are white, 13 when you include McCree, whose race has conspicuously never been addressed. 3 new white characters have been added to the game since launch, compared with 3 characters of any other race and 2 nonhumans. None of the heroes released in the past year have been characters of color.
That’s what’s most upsetting here. Blizzard literally started out with a more representative cast– not truly representative, but more representative– and is becoming whiter and whiter with time. That sucks, man. That’s so disappointing. This game isn’t just not living up to its potential, it’s not living up to itself.
Also I’ve seen people say talking about this hurts their enthusiasm but you can like Ashe and still admit that this is fucked up.
