Like, Reyes was no doubt bitter and angry, but it wasn’t just envy or jealousy it was that special envy that comes with working your ass off for something and then seeing your white coworker be handed the reward on a silver platter. When I see Reaper’s rage, I see that rage that comes when you forget your white friends are white and then they get the easy road and pass you up, all while never acknowledging or seeing the way major white privilege paved the way.

Gabriel Reyes dedicated his life to Overwatch, to fighting the Omnic Crisis, to saving the world, only to be repaid with the same racist glass ceiling all over again, while his white best friend got the praise, the glory, the recognition.

I get you, Reaper, I get you.
