Anyone that has looked at the OW cast will have immediately noticed that half the cast is females (with a lot of them being the SJW fantasy of "strong independent woman that don't need no man") or non-white people. Honestly, I feel a bit uncomfortable that Blizzard is trying to shove their political beliefs down our throat while we do something as innocent as playing a video game.

Don't like, don't buy. To be honest, SJW games don't bother me. When SJW's try and change existing games to fit their political agenda, then I have a problem (Ie, DOOM is too violent, Mario is misogynistic, ect.) But from the start Overwatch was SJWish, so I'm fine with letting it be its own thing.

No because they did it by creating new, interesting characters instead of bulls*** like making Iron Man a black girl.
I have a signature. Apparently this is important, but I still don't have my secret cool kid decoder ring yet.

Ya. It's probably because they're trying to make everyone happy, you saw what happened with the tracer pose.

Or Mary Jane, always portrayed as a white ginger is now a brown/black haired ethnic woman.

Whenever I think of the 90's/2000's era, I have this picture of a bald, angry white guy who may or may not be a marine of some kind.

Frankly, it's nice to see some variety.

Can't say as I give a f***. They're glorified targets. Now when they start stopping mid game to give a long soliloquy about how hard it is to be a transvestite robot with a hamster fetish in todays world, then I might give a damn.
I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.

in general its a shame whenever you see an artist bend the knee to raving lunatics. for some reason, overwatch really never stuck out to me as being overtly tampered with though.
