hey can we talk about the fact that junkrat is a much more disgusting omnic racist than zarya. at the worst you can call zarya misguided but junkrat straight up talks like a fuckin future trump supporter like Are You Serious
Are You Serious
stop equating real life racism to people hating dangerous robots for fuck’s sake
this is less a post about the racism itself than it is about the double standard of how the fandom tends to regard junkrat and zarya
Characters who canonically hate omnics:
Junkrat (The Omnium Core that belonged to Omnics in Australia detonated, turning the outback into an irradiated wasteland.) Torbjorn (His paranoia about Sentient robots was justified when the first omnic crisis happened) (, Zarya (Hometown was destroyed by omnics as a child and russia is currently experiencing a second omnic crisis.)
Characters who probably hate omnics:
Reinhardt (His hometown was destroyed by omnics) Hanzo (The only person he actually killed in his short was an omnic) Reaper ( “Tin cans. A dime a dozen.”)
Characters who are omnics:
Zenyatta, Bastion, Genji (Okay he’s not REALLY an Omnic, but he’s often treated like one and feels more comfortable around Omnics, so i’m gonna put him here anyway.)
