I was watching the spotlight the other day, and while I'm super glad Lucio got a collab skin, it's still so crazy to me how the Overwatch team thinks they're being funny. Announcing Mercy's SECOND mythic and showing Lucio getting upset even though so much of the community wants a Lucio mythic? Killing off Doomfist? Making fun of Ramattra? The one black woman in the game constantly being depicted as masculine? Adding another same-faced Asian character when there's only ONE FUCKING BLACK WOMAN IN THE GAME?!

I love Overwatch. I love the community. There's so many wonderful people, so many beautiful characters and so much lore that needs to be continued, but something needs to change.

The Overwatch team acknowledging the way they treat their black characters, and black-coded characters (Ramattra), and joking about it needs to be addressed.

Killing Doomfist and making fun of the fact that Lucio doesn't get a mythic during Black History Month?! The new release of all these characters, and not a single black woman in sight.

The Overwatch team knows what they're doing. They know that people are upset with how certain characters are treated, and they make fun of it.

I'm so tired of the way black people are treated within media and within fandom spaces, especially black women.
