What's the deal with this? Did this system leak or did Blizzard itself actually publish this? It wouldn't surprised me at all to learn that companies are actually doing this and in this way specifically. But I can't imagine them showcasing this themselves. It seems so unbelievably cynical and condescending. It's the definition of pandering. A bunch of corporate people who don't actually understand or care but just do it because they think it'll make them the most money.

1 and 3 aren't gay? 3 has no culture?
Xavier Sanchez
would you rather every character be white male and boring?
Austin Evans
They openly published it. They're fucking retarded.
Chase Howard
I'd rather have characters.
Nolan Clark
yes
Caleb Davis
its straight up on the Activision Blizzard webpage.
just google Diversity Space Method.

They are literally assigning numerical value to things like race and sexual orientation and higher numbers clearly denote superiority. How can you not find this kind of way of thinking disturbing? I can see this kind of thing being used internally for suits who just don't get it or don't give a shit. But for them to openly brag about this as a company policy feels sick. I suppose at least the honesty is admirable. We've been gaslit for so long that it feels sort of liberating for them to spell out so plainly what and how they think of people.
Gabriel Torres
why are they so obsessed with races?
Parker Fisher
>grading skin colors and assigning scores
This nonsense is textbook, dictionary-definition racism.
Does nobody fucking realize this? The hypocrisy is staggering.
Camden Brown
Look up "ESG score".
It's the future you chose.
Sebastian Cruz
What the actual fuck does this even MEAN?
At first I thought this was supposed to measure the diversity of a group/team...
...but how the fuck do you measure the "diversity" of ONE character?
It literally makes zero logical sense
Anthony Sullivan
>Why yes, evaluating a company on what kind of impact it has on the world and the people is the same as judging people based on things like skin color, sex and sexual orientation
Get the fuck out of here
Isaiah Johnson
Yes they are racist. Duh.
You can determine they are racists by the most simple of tests. Ask where they live. 100% of these people will talk about wanting to help blacks and how wonderful blacks are. None of them live in neighborhoods with blacks.
Oliver Hughes
it worth more points to be arab than a woman...
Luis Smith
how do I see junkrat's score? I want to see it
Chase Russell
? Use your head, it's not hard to understand. Basically the lower the score means the closer the character is to the "default" aka straight white male. So basically the higher the score means the further the character is from a straight white male. Additionally I should add that the age default would be 18-25 / body type default would be fit / slender / above avg in height or tall. Ability would be no deformities, missing limbs etc.

heres the old web page before they censored everything web.archive.org
Chase Parker
And they're all still shallow as fuck caricatures. I'm thinking all this "diversity" shit is a weird corporate psy-op to ruin the image of actual minorities by pulling out such embarrassing and almost absurd PR campaigns and creative decisions.

But the average person on Earth is Chinese
This woke corporate thinking is nothing but cancer
Joseph Howard
why did they remove all pics?
Nathan Harris
>would you rather every character be white male and boring?
white people are the minority of the world
how is it boring for a non-white to have white protagonists in their games when some of them have never seen white people irl in the first place?
Juan Gonzalez
I haven't played a game, watched a movie/show, or read a book that has a non-white male protagonist in years. If I can't play as a generic brown-haired blue-eyed white guy with a light/thin beard I don't even bother. I've played fewer games than ever but that's just the way it is these days. Oh well.
Adrian Torres
Torb should be a trans-man.

Huh? Do they mean Semite?
It should be
>Culture: Masiri Arab
>Race: Semite
Jose Murphy
Again, use your head. In like over 90% of video game MCs have been straight white males. I don't watch or care about movies, but same deal with movies as well, the lead is most of the time a straight white male. Think of the diversity or default being not in real life, but for the medium. So in gaming or in movies, the default is straight white male.
Leo Bennett
>Slim+Curvy = 0 points
Xavier Hall
Retard, the environmental aspect costs money, and they don't want to reduce CEO wages, so that only leaves social which means every product is checkbox woke.
Asher Nelson
The default is straight white male because the default player (probably 90%+) is straight white male.
Jaxson Phillips
So it does NOT measure diversity.
Hudson Price
Can we do these metascores for other franchises?
Christian Hughes
Minority representation is A Good Thing, though.
Adrian Jenkins
do they consider mei as a fat fuck or not? I'm genuinely curious
Austin Walker
7/9 Team Fortress 2 characters are white males and all of them are interesting, fun, and far more well-written than Overwatch characters, who are in fact incredibly boring and who nobody gives a shit about unless it's for porn
Race and gender don't make an interesting character, GOOD WRITING and PERSONALITY does
Evan Nguyen
they did it for CoD Vanguard apparently
Owen Sullivan
Post McCree stats
Zachary Sanchez
Ah get fucked. They're maybe 10% of protagonists after 2015. In western games. You know, white male countries?
Dylan Gray

Jace Williams
Like in tf2? Every character is so bland and boring.
