So...
Uh...
Apparently Blizzard has a '' diversity tool '' that calculates how '' diverse '' characters are in their games now... This is so dystopian lol.

How in the hell does this even work and how is it calculated?
How do you calculate diversity for body type?
Something tells me that well-endowed women wouldn't be counted as more diverse but they should be because they're more rare ( and Overwatch basically has none too ).

Is it just me too or does it kinda come across as bizarrely racist to judge some cultures as '' more diverse '' compared to each other especially in a global context?
It's like some weird exoticism and like how do you even judge this?
Is Egypt '' more diverse '' than South Africa?

I think Western devs have just lost their minds...
How can someone put this together and not grasp how insane it is?
It honestly comes across like an April first joke only that it isn't and it's 100% serious.

Apparently it‘s getting already incredible backlash online.

Apparently it‘s getting already incredible backlash online.

I'm never gonna enter Twitter (which is where I bet the backlash is concentrated), but I bet the people who work there are doubling down instead of being quiet/embarrassed.
