Is this 'forced diversity'? why/why not?
Is this 'forced diversity'? why/why not?
fuck off with this shit demoman is based
Its only ever forced diversity if it's there just to pander to a demographic and isn't there organically
If TF2 had released today, Zig Forums and the anti-SJW crowd would throw a tantrum about this.
Black Scottish cyclops is a funnier character than Scottish cyclops
At least they weren't women. Scout would've been black.
It's only forced if I don't like it.
scots are white negroes so this is a more accurate than real life portrayal and as such based
this
Not really, the juxtaposition is funny and played as a joke.
VIDEOGAMES!
And twitter and the SJW crows would throw a tantrum about there being no playable females.
Him being black and Scottish is part of the joke, its not an "open borders were all immigrants" political message.
No. Demomans skin color never had any political backing or implications behind it. He was never made black to "make a statement," it was just cause "Lol what if Black... AND Scottish?"
Forced diversity didnt start in vidya till like after 2012.
Demoman is based fuck off Zig Forumsfag
I wouldn't mind it if TF3 had female versions of all classes. Fair is fair.
demoman should be the literal example of what a good black character should be
Demoman has always been a stereotype of Scotland, just like every other class is a stereotype of their respective countries.
Ethnicity doesn't matter.
It's funny because demoman even says how absurd his backstory is
It would be forced diversity if demoman had all his lines based on some current year political autism
Imagine him ranting about the housing market
Yup. Black, but that's not the point of his character.
Pic related is another good example. He's a parody of Bill Gates first and foremost.
it is, and its nothing wrong with it
>AH'M GONNA BLAST YE LIKE ME MORTGAGE
>if it's in a game I don't like it's there to make a statement
>if it's in a game I like it's not political
lol
Every chaacter is a European male except for the cyclops who is played for laughs. Are you kidding?
IIRC Valve looked at original Demoman and thought he looked "just okay, nothing eye catching though" so they went crazy with him instead.
And it worked
THEY GOT MORE MONSTERS IN FUCKIN LOCH NESS THAN THEY GOT THE LIKES AH ME
demoman is based af
making him black was a good choice
>good example of a black character
>a character with dark skin but who literally never talks about or has anything related to blackness or his culture, allowing me to just pretend he's white in my head because people different than me make me scared
Okay whitey
I like both and I wish BLU team had different models.
Yes, but it's an example of how adding in token diversity isn't always a bad thing if handled correctly.
>Literally the first cosmetic he gets is a giant afro
it is forced diversity, but at least it was done in a fun and amusing way
Pyro is a playable female.
I hate all of these except ayesdyef's original model on the far left without the goggles.
turning demoman black was a good idea though
It's execured well and wasn't done for social clout.
>all people talk about constantly is their race
Okay mutt
Isn't it weird how Miss Pauling uses Spy's weapons
>YES, I AM A BOOMER! AND I 'APPEN TO BE DAMN GOOD AT IT!!
Diversity is only forced when they're made to fill out a checklist first and be characters last. Which the TF2 mercs are not
