If this video is mildly scuffed bc I had to cook it up in 4 days between 10k words of writing for school, no it isn't :) anyways, let's talk about the Omnics! Recognizing that Overwatch's Omnics are presented as an analogy for a lot of real-world issues is some Media Literacy 101 stuff, but let's do some Media Literacy 102 and explore why it's so, so badly done. Along the way, this video is going to have to touch on a lot of serious topics in order to fully explain the issue with Blizzard's choices, and while I welcome a healthy, respectful debate in my comments section, I moderate it carefully. That's especially true for sensitive topics, and this one fits the bill - this channel is not a place for you to have your heated gamer moments, and just because your fave might let racism slide in the comments because that's still engagement, I don't need engagement that bad.
This was the first members' choice video for May! I'm very glad it got picked, and after how much love the topic got in the comments I wasn't super surprised that it won. The second members' choice video for May, as mentioned in the video, will be coming out later than originally planned - I'm expecting sometime next week, but it comes second to schoolwork and this video's already thrown off the schedule pretty hard. I appreciate my members for being understanding, and in the future, I'll work on planning things better.
