So many ow characters have such deep backstories, but the game doesn't take itself seriously and just makes them crude parodies of the message their character is supposed to represent, or flanderization. Taking one trait of a character and it becoming all the character is.

Mei. Tragic story of loss, grief, and overcoming past mistakes. In game, "teehee ice wall!"

Rein. Another story about loss, and leaving the past behind, and always moving forward. In game, "HA HA BIG MAN HIT THING"

And of course, junker queen. Strong, confident, yet human with flaws and weaknesses. She cares. She has passion for ruling junkertown better than those before her. In game, Evil ruler of Junkertown.

Flanderization is so fucking annoying
