ok ok ok i know overwatch does have its problems but imho thats mostly bc they set themselves up as being Diverse and good for Representation. if theyd never have that pretence id be fucking losing my mind bc what an amazing prank to pull on gamers. first they take Waifu Tracer (whos ass people were arguing about before the game even CAME OUT LOL) and made her gay and then they took captain america 2.0 every white supremacists fav and made HIM gay too like the fucking shenanigans. the drama of it.
From
an early age, Asian artists are taught to erase ourselves and other
people of color. But self-love puts us back in the picture.
It’s easy to beat ourselves up for centering/privileging whiteness—which
I’ve done in my previous works. But it’s not mutually exclusive to be
proud of those works, and still recognize our failings and limitations that we need to work on.
It’s not wholly incumbent on creators of color to dismantle racist
institutions on our own (the responsibility lies primarily with the
white people who built them), but we can and should do our best to push
back on these systems whenever possible.

Iron and vitamin c supplements do wonders. While they are over the counter, make sure to talk to your doctor anyway.
