The mysterious depths of his manly cave

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

i'm so glad the new character isn't efi. orisa is super cool. but i really did not want efi as the next hero.

I would have been okay with Efi as the next hero... In concept.

But given the player base, I'm relieved that they aren't given a little black girl to shoot at. I already deal with enough casual racism/sexism in the Overwatch community, and in general it just doesn't feel good shooting at children.

it was 100% never going to be her under any circumstances

a lighthearted game would never let you shoot a ten year old in the face ffs

it will NEVER be here because that would make them have to change the game rating if you have kill a child. blizzard has another game with cards that's name is escaping me and even the childish characters just retreat when they lose, they don't die.

there's no way for ovw to implement that sort of distinction visually, so it will never be a child hero.

hearthstone, and yep. all of this

yeah, that has been my position since day one

however it would be easy to make her retreat instead of die- instead of a death animation just have her teleport away, that's lore friendly but that's just me being pedantic because violence against a child not necessarily how effective that violence is makes the difference

mmmmm i'm not... sure there are childish characters in hearthstone that much? they're mostly gnomes. but blizzard also has heroes of the storm and li li stormstout. she's supposedly a teenager but looks like a kid. then again she's also a freaking panda, not a human child.

... this is way more information than anyone needed for this debate and i am so sorry

it would literally result in the game being banned in certain regions. there are parts of the worlds that have hard and fast rules about violence against children in video games.

it could have been something where she was remote controlling a robot but the voice lines/character name were still hers, she just wasn't there in person
