Seriously, at points in this episode, it felt like a parody of what progressivism looks like. It's all broad stroke, surface level statements about capitalism, the patriarchy and "Society" without any nuance or depth to said statements. I think my brain broke when Fareeha said "good art can not flourish under capitalism" then immediately references two films that both flourished under capitalism completely invalidating the statement entirely.

It's ironic how America's biggots and nefarious people are on blast with emotional media meanwhile Canada openly champions its "you are not like me" with its French/English relationship. Jared Bauer did an amazing video on Idiocracy recently. Everyone likes to say "Idiocracy predicted our future" but no one says how or why but Jared concluded it's bc the public openly clings what is given to them. Pair that with corporate branding becoming the new political regime. He really highlights how people are only repeating an fundamentally designed echo. Worth a watch. You can argue it's not 1 to 1 but his breakdown of how truth was sought from nature to religion to politics to now branding is unseeable in my eyes.

I'm a member of the LGBT community and I tuned into this podcast because its a "debate" and yet, this podcast episode was far from a debate and more about politics and all that jazz, honestly, very disappointed that there was barely any gameplay talk and more about "Yes but the identity though.." like we are beyond that point now, we've gotten a new LGBT OW hero, lets talk about their gameplay and debate what is their goods and bads. Honestly SVB, more and more of your podcasts are becoming less about the actual game, let alone actual debates, podcasts get hard carried by Sam and Freedo who genuinely debate on healthy grounds whilst even now Flats just comes to exist on the podcast and drops his "Oh I dont wanna say anything or those people will come for me.." every 10 mins when he's asked to give his opinion. Never thought I'd see the fall off of this podcast but its happening and thats really upsetting to see, really hoping you turn this around, there's many new smaller content creators working their hearts out that would be fun to see on here as well just to talk about the game from diff POVs.

I am not an avid 'stream watcher' but when I can't play the game I will sometimes watch someone stream to help lessen the itch of not being able to play. Honestly, Samito tilts a bit too much for me to be a regular viewer (not a criticism, that is 100% just a personal taste thing) but I have tuned in a couple of times. I distinctly remember watching him stream one night and hearing a transwoman speak in voice on his team and like catching my breath and bracing myself for him or his team to turn nasty. I was fucking blown away when Samito went out of his way to be kind to her, having a whole conversation about the colour of her nail polish in-between fights. Like that should not have surprised me but kindness and empathy is still so rare in gaming spaces. He has held a special place in my heart since then.

What is super fascinating about this conversation is every point that is made can be used equally for both sides. Samito sums up his conversation with "let people be people" and SVB monologues about "it isn't a big deal" and it isn't anything more than "a miniscule change on the scheme of things" but nobody wants to play the devils advocate. It's as simple as; no matter what argument or point you promote, every single point stands as equally valid for BOTH sides of the conversation. You want to say let people be people but what if those people WANT to misgender you. By your own admission you have to let them do what they want. So we have LuckyBonez agreeing with Samito then literally in the next section they speak, they tell bigots to "fuck off". Isn't that the definition of hypocrisy? I think a discussion about changing language that uses the same language is both impossible to solve and one of the most extremely unique conversations that go round.

Disagree on Venture's personality. Aaron originally described them as a swashbuckling adventurer (which even that is a stretch for a character who spends their life underground--you tell me a character is effectively a mole person, I am going to guess they're an antisocial freak, not Harrison Ford). But fine, this is OW's Indiana Jones character. But now we see them, and in what way are they swashbuckling? Do their animations give swashbuckling? Their voicelines? Their abilities? I mean, the answer is objectively no. I don't know, I think the characters have become homogeneous from a writing standpoint, and it's sufficient for the devs to just paint them with the broadest possible brush of "happy character", "sad character". See Venture, see Illari. Even the best-written OW2 characters (JQ and Ramattra) are flat relative to their OW counterparts. The specificity of a Tracer or a Zenyatta is gone, sadly. They've gone from creating unforgettable characters to forgettable ones, simply put.

OW2 devs need to realise what drew players to their favourite characters are their roles in the different major plotlines in the ow universe. But I did realise that most of the original leads for OW1 (concept artist, designers, writers) have left during the content drought. Hence why you see new characters struggling to fit into the universe and don't really have intricate connections with the original cast.

To add to the “Overwatch killer” conversation: people generally want a killer because they fell out of love with a game and nothing else really scratches that itch. Fortnite doesn’t get the same energy towards it because people love the updates and they make changes that please most people. Overwatch, on the other hand, has to appeal to so many different groups, from 6v6 enjoyers no role limit enjoyers, support/dps/tank mains, one tricks, etc etc, so there will always be a group that wants a game to do what they love from Overwatch but that appeals to them.

It’s another to let these topics, which are important, consume a podcast that we the audience assume to be similar to previous discussions . If you all are aware that you are drifting from gameplay discussions that are non-political, then I would assume you’d be aware that much of your audience would be upset by it. That doesn’t mean they are bigots, many are upset that these issues took precedence over gameplay discussions in the context of this podcast. Again, I agree these issues are important ,I agree with your guys takes. But at this point just title the video accurately, or create a separate podcast talking strictly about these issues.

So many people dont give a shit about balance and gameplay loop they usually talk about. They care more about seeing a dumb little guy blowing things up or hearing big muscle robot talk sexy and random shit like that that DONT affect your gameplay. The reason why OW is different to Call of duty or CS or Apex or Val is that there’s so many people that enjoy the non-gameplay aspect of it and dont care about if something is broken or unbalanced or not. Gameplay couldve been the focus if unfiltered hatred wasn’t the response from so many in the first place but it’s important to address those issues. Even if 10 people learn something from this video, thats a good thing.

And yes, I will look at other content, but I will also respond on what I thought about this content, as this was not the type of content I enjoy. I do that to give feedback on the type of content that I do enjoy. If everyone did the same you would get a balanced picture of what the opinion of the community is. What is done with that feedback is another story, but it will at least to some degree be a information resource to SVB on what the community likes through the most popular comments. If giving feedback wasn’t the intended use of the comment section, why have a comment section to begin with. Lastly about «just watching other content». Unfortunatly there is no other podcast that deliver the same product group up does. The biggest creators attend and it has, as far as I have seen, the best exchange of ideas. So while I will watch other content, it won’t be of the same quality. Group up (for now at least) can’t really be replaced. If what svb said in the timestamp over is his honest thoughts, I think he underestimate the quality of his own balance discussions. So you can’t really «just go and watch someone else», as they don’t deliver the same product. At the end of the day SVB decides what he wants to make. If he wants to talk about identity politics, nobody is going to stop him, regardless of wether I or anyone else enjoy it or not. Though I do wish he titled it diffrently, because it gave me and I assume a lot of others false expectations in the context of previous character podcasts. That is also likely why the feedback is as rough as it is, becaue people expected to get something diffrent.

To chime in concerning the pronouns in different languages. Dutch can also be slightly confusing. for example the word they in dutch is "zij" but "zij" is also used for she. If I remember correctly in German you have the word "Sie" which is used for She but is also used for you (in a formal sense if for example you would talk to someone older or in power). (Dutch also has a similar word for you, when addressing someone older or in power. it's "u")

Players ask for representation, canonically 🏳🌈 characters, a.k.a. official validation, GET IT, but then there's STILL drama. *That's* what annoys me. Why isn't this podcast about the GAMEPLAY? Why is the community arguing 'my truth vs. your truth' as if the same people that asked for this aren't the same ones who made up fanfiction that misgendered characters and made them gay/straight when they're not??? Overwatch is such a beautifully diverse game, and that's why I love it so much, but you can't force all your beliefs onto other people, especially when it's only about fictional characters. As long as someone isn't disrespecting YOU or a teammate who is a real living person, it should be a non-issue. Not everybody cares, not everybody understands, not to mention people make mistakes by accident because they haven't internalized those beliefs, or just during the chaos of call-outs. And some people's beliefs will directly contradict yours. As long as they're not hateful but keep it friendly instead, get over it and get on the damn payload.

I was one of those people who did not care about representation in video games UNTIL Sigma was released. As a native Dutch speaker I never imagined getting to hear my mother tongue in my favorite video game. Even if they're not my favorite character, the simple fact that I could understand and hear the language I grew up hearing is incredible. And in that moment I understood the value of representation. Why its important to have characters that encompass all walks of life.

Boiling down the people who misgender Venture and people like her, to being only one of two things; Either honestly mistaken and therefore forgivable OR intentionally bigoted and therefore dismissible, is completely bigoted all on its own. Basically, “anyone who disagrees with me and my worldview is a bad person.” That’s bigotry 101. Not being able to accept that there are people who are good, honest and don’t wish you any harm, but have their own beliefs and feelings that might contradict your own is a huge irony in this whole pronoun debate. But nobody wants to have that conversation, they’re only willing to talk to people who will admit up front that they are willing to buy into their mindset.

I was searching for this comment before I said something. You hit the nail on the head. Capitalism has some horrendous downsides that are unfortunate but to say it’s all capitalism’s fault is to stay ignorant of the bigger picture. Capitalism has allowed people to specialize in fields that are, to be frank, not needed. We do not NEED art but capitalism allows people to become successful if people enjoy it. Basically it’s more complicated to blame it in capitalism

"Live your life the way you want to and I will live mine the way I want to." That's exactly what we want. The difference is that you can already do so freely, and we can't. Because there are people who refuse to understand, to accept us for who we want to be. We want what you already have, and it doesn't take away from you, but people act like it does. That's why representation matters.

In my opinion you cannot call something an "Overwatch competitor" if the game isn't even in first person. I would go so far as to say the FPS perspective is an intrinsic part of what makes Overwatch feel like Overwatch. Simply having an objective based pvp game and slapping on some moba abilities doesn't automatically make you an Overwatch-like. As someone with over 2000 hours in OW, Marvel Rivals looks infinitely more like Smite than it ever does to OW. The comparisons to OW are downright baffling to me

It's not a direct competitor but it is an competitor. It similar to when a game like Elden Ring drops and ears up all the oxygen in the room aka gamers time and money, all the other games that launch during it's reign suffer. Smite is a MOBA though it looks most like Bleeding Edge

Reinstalled the game yesterday because I had to quit tank but after playing Venture I feel like this was a DPS character made for me! The poke/Brawl heavy play style is something I love! Plus the fact that I have movement options to get away if I start making mistakes, but that's only if I manage my cool downs properly. I think Venture might be great in a lot of Dive and Poke comps, with some good potential to take out stragglers that try and run away from a fight. Sometimes I feel like They are a trade hero... depending on the situation (Bap puts up lamp or I'm trying to fight a soldier or Cassidy) It seems like I have to give my life to take theirs. Like to kill a special target I have to die unless I have a healer. This isn't bad just something I noticed and it can help the team win sometimes honestly. I was fighting a Moriya because she kept killing our supports in the back line so I went to try and get her off of them.(We had a Hanzo but she faded circles around us not his fault it's mine 😂) and she did her ult and I was able to duk it out with her and kill her but I immediately died by a stray bullet and i couldn't dig because i needed to dodge some over her ult. She isn't the only example but she was the one that stuck out in my mind. Overall I like the hero a lot but I wish I had just a tiny bit more shield a couple points not any crazy like 25 maybe like 10. But I'm not a pro or anything just someone who played a lot of OW and this is my genuine thoughts after like 3/4 hours I'm gonna get back on tonight and go play some more. Thoughts on the character before watching.
