LGBTQ Representation

The core of Overwatch 2's charm lies in its roster of diverse, larger-than-life heroes (and villains).

In Hearthstone's Forged in the Barrens expansion, the game doesn't focus on the Azeroth's well-known heroes: instead there's a new roster of mercenaries, each with their own stories.

Video games have been grappling with an ongoing reckoning over representation.

In a way, I disagree with the headline of this post -- by default my existence is a political statement because everything is political.

During last BlizzCon's opening ceremony, despite uploading screenshots every couple seconds like my hair was on fire, a particular pin worn by several of the executives gave me pause.

I often don't feel very included in the games I love, because I'm bisexual and that's often treated like a fantasy -- except it's very rarely actually depicted in our fantasy.

We know from the Reflections comic that Tracer is a lesbian in a relationship with a woman named Emily, which is a pretty awesome step for representation by Blizzard.
