Brigitte is a character who, in lore, is shown as a valiant defender of the just and good, a modern knight in armor following in the footsteps of her idol Reinhardt. She can be that character, or she can be a riot cop, but she can't be both.

Both this and that chubby chaser on twitter complaining about Mei having no organs is dumb.

I bet the author of this piece has a polic uniform fetish or something.

Also Overwatch is basically a PMC so.

I was about to say, Overmatch is about as close to already being a police force or private military contractor as it gets.

Reminds me of the woman they have reviewing Arrow episodes over at DenofGeek. At the beginning of the last season, Oliver is in jail. Pretty much every review she did was her complaining that Oliver never considered the issues inherent in the prison industrial complex before he was in it and was disappointed that he never gave a thought to all the criminals he put in jail.

Seriously, let me just quote her here.
One of the toughest things about this admittedly great season is the way theyre handling the concept of prison as a whole. Felicitys baseline expectation that prison is safe and fair is ridiculous and completely out of step with reality. Brooklyn 99 managed to bring both levity and a more realistic depiction of our deeply, intentionally unfair prison system. Arrow, on the other hand, has completely ignored the effect of race, class, or any other marker on the prison experience.

Oliver laments that, these people are being treated like theyre disposable. No one deserves that. Its convenient that he only realizes that now, after he has sent countless people to prison. All Arrowverse shows have ignored how systemically unjust our prison system is for years (when they even allow for it at all Im looking at you and your private prison, Barry Allen). Everyone at least acknowledges that Argus is scary and off-book, but what Barry and friends have done was excused for years. Even now that Barry and Oliver send everyone to mainstream prisons, were supposed to act like thats a fair shake, ignoring the slave labor, rape, beatings, poisoned food, price gouging, and other injustices that go on there.

I mean, I agree Police Militarization is not good.

I also recognize that this is a video game with aliens, robots, cyborgs, mutant animals, Iron Man suits, and giant mechs.

In the context of the universe, Im not going to be bothered by police forces having a little extra fire power

Maybe when Officer Jenny pulls out an AK47 and starts gunning down kids for possession of rare
Candies Ill raise an eyebrow

The tl;dr someone horny for made a dumb edit of Mei being a chubby in some weird virtue signalling manner and got ratio'd for their transparent horniness. Mind you I have no issue with people wanting cushion for pushing but only if they're not pretending it's not remotely being fueled by their fetish.

And I'm convinced that a lot of this sort of stuff is really nothing more than people pushing their fetish whether they realize it or not.

Another person to put on the list.

When you need police, they'll make sure to take their sweet time to respond to your request.

This article is completely pointless and the author admits as such when they say in so many words overwatch is an over the top fun shooter that shouldnt be taken seriously.

Yet here is the author, taking it seriously.

So...
