Very brief update, I’m sorry about the lack of posting for the past few days, I really thought I queued stuff for that time but it’s been a stressful mess and I didn’t.

I’m about to head out to Kenya for the next three weeks for research, I originally intended to have stuff queued during this time but life got crazy, so it’s unfortunately gonna be three weeks of radio silence on my end, sorry about that!

I’ll be back in the states and back to posting around June 7th or 8th, see you all then!

I was like tangentially connected to the overwatch fandom in the good old days when it launched and I remember tracer being a lesbian being like a really big deal lol, it's fascinating to me that there's people who know the character but don't know that?

The problem with characters like Mathias Shaw is they're an example of current Warcraft constantly going

"Look two white people are gay, aren't we woke and politically correct, now lets go kill some jungle dwelling jamaican accented savage monsters and their real world voodoo gods!"

This is the other ask anon was referring to in the last post!

[do-you-know-this-queer-character]

I'm not asking you to pull Mathias Shaw, I just want more people to be aware that white queer characters doesn't equal wokeness and the general exclusion of non whites from LGBTIQA discussions.

I also criticize media like World of Warcraft so the writers will eventually get the message that stuff like this is offensive and they should do some damage control like:

Stop depicting orcs, trolls, tauren and countless other "monsters" as purely evil villains, let them be heroes too.

Admit the countless white colonizing characters did wrong and that people like Zul'jin were wronged.

Tone down the racial coding a little bit and don't do it for new races they create.

Stop having all prominent human characters be white and for god's sakes, tone down the white savior vibes!

No having characters like a blonde blue eyed white guy from ersatz europe that worships ersatz christianity mansplaining to a PoC coded monster that his government system is inherently wrong unlike Ersatz Europe's absolute monarchy does NOT equal talking down toxic masculinity, it (unintentionally?) endorse a white supremacist vibe. PS: Did you get my other Warcraft Ask?

I know! I was just putting that in the tags because I've had problems with people making assumptions about what I stand for as a person before based on "allowing" a certain media to go through. Not targeted at you specifically! Although my knowledge of WOW is severely limited personally, I agree with everything you're saying here! Also yes, I did, I'll post it after this one. I've been holding off on answering certain asks because I just don't have the time to do thorough research right now, so I'm glad you elaborated on what you meant!
