Article by Polygon about one of the weirder details of Elon Musk’s recently published biography: He is a fan of the character Mercy from “Overwatch” and convinced his then-girlfriend Amber Heard to cosplay the character for him. The article dives into the characteristics of Mercy’s ambivalent perception in- and outside of Overwatch.
I know that people get tired of Musk’s antics, but the article makes a good case why the fetishisation of Mercy says more about gaming in general, than Musk in particular.
Yeah, this article makes a great point about how Elon Musk, apart from being a very influential billionaire, is just the perfect stereotype of a toxic, misogynist white male and portrays very well how widespread this type of behaviour is in online gaming.
