I was the darkest girl inkling in Splatoon.

I love Sombra and Orisa in Overwatch.

I'm a Latino gay male and, frankly, it's just nice to have folks in these games that I can project myself into more easily.

It's kinda like going to high altitude. You don't realize what you're missing until you get it.

It's not controversial or anything to get triggered about. It's just fucking nice and wholesome to get playable representation.

This thread is embarrassing. Sorry OP, it's not because of you, but because of the people who posted the dumb shit on this list
