What do Overwatch and Trump have in common? According to a poster, neither of them are team players.
Politics is a difficult topic in every country, and especially the youth are rarely reached by politicians. In the case of America, boring debates about walls to Mexico or discussions about harassment of women do not help either. No, the youth must be “picked up where they are” – in video games and on the Internet.
That is why there is currently a very special poster in Orlando by artist Daniel Warren Johnson, who connects the US election campaign with Overwatch. On the image, you can see a Donald Trump sitting in front of his PC and loudly shouting at it. The poster claims:
“Donald Trump plays as the main character Hanzo and complains about the team composition in the chat.”
The poster then refers to the website Trumpisnotateamplayer.com (see source), where parallels are drawn between Donald Trump and the “typical” Hanzo player, whom every Overwatch fan knows.
“Trump loses all the time, but it is never his fault,” it says on the website. Similar comparisons are made between a “gamepad that doesn’t work” and the microphone that, according to Trump, was defective during a TV debate between presidential candidates.
The campaign mainly aims to mobilize young voters, such as students and the entire generation that has grown up with the Internet.
Cortyn says: We need more of this. And regardless of whom such a campaign supports, it is always good to encourage young people to vote. In this case, the comparison of Trump and the cliche Hanzo is also quite successful. Aside from that, I had a hearty laugh reading the source. Nobody likes Hanzo. Nobody. And as for Trump – oh no, that goes too far.
