KOTAKU" Robzooo > lan Walker 6/03/22 2:53pm "Kimberly, who was prominently teased at the end of yesterday's Street Fighter 6 presentation, will be the series' first playable Black woman" Umm Elena in street fighter 3 is definitely a black woman from Kenya. Then there are some arguements for Pullum Purna and Laura (she is Sean's sister who is canonically afro-brazillian) Reply 2 replies 36 ☆ lan Walker Robzooo 6/03/22 3:11pm "Black" in this instance specifically refers to an African-American woman. believe me, i'm aware of Elena, Laura, and Pullum Purna, but they're Kenyan, Brazilian, and Saudi Arabian respectively. it's different. https://kotaku.com/overwatch-fan-writes- letter-to-jeff-kaplan-about-black-1831576005 Reply 14 replies 12 ☆ 000

Photo: Lisa Marie Segarra / Kotaku The following blog was written by a cat named Milo. According to Milo's owner, Kotaku's own Lisa Marie Segarra, he's a rascal who enjoys cuddling and will cry until you pick him up. His favorite toy is his ball tower and he enjoys watching Criminal Minds with his human mom. Sometimes Milo, being a rascal, will jump on Segarra's keyboard and lay around on it or stand on top of the keys. This is how he sends us, the other staff at Kotaku, messages in Slack. You can always tell a Milo message. It's long, filled with repeated letters, and is usually a fun surprise. For this blog, Milo was able to spend a very long time on the keyboard before getting caught. This message was so long Slack wouldn't even let him send it to us. So instead, it has been turned into a blog for you all to enjoy. Editor's note: This blog is presented mostly as Milo created it. A few minor edits and formatting changes were made to make it work on our site. looo00000077 newkbn4eczhvyfg3hyjfik8933333338,11IIIII LLLLLLLLL888 888888 888888089 TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTI ITTTTTTTTTTTTT ΤΤTTTTΤΤΤΤTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTΤΤΤTTTTΤΤΤTTTΤΤTTTTTTTTTTΤTT ΤTTTTTΤTTTTTTΤTTTTTI TTTTT WOEIT4G999999999999 LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL 99 999 99999 99 999 99 99999 99999999 9999999999999999999 99999999999 99 99999 9999999 999 9999 99999 99 99 999 9999 999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999199999999999999999IIIIIII9III9I9I9I9I9 D9DDD969 I96 6666666666 66666666 6666 666 6 6 6666[6[61 9GGGGGGGGGG99GG99999G99999GGG99999GGGGG9999GGGGGGGGG9 99999999999999G999999GGGGGGGGG99999999999999999999999999999 99999999999 999999 99999999 9999999 9999999 99999999 99999G9999 99GGGGGGGGG GGGGG GGGG GGGGGGGGGGGGG9IG999999999999XXX XXXX XXX ХXXXXXXXX ХXXX XXX XXХ XX XXX XXХ XXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX999999999 999999999999999999999999999999II9999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 9999999GGGGGGGGGGGG9XGGGGGGGGG99999999999999999999II9999 99999999I9999999XXXXXI9999999I9I9Í “Í“«Í´ÍÍÍ'ÍÍÍ'Í'Í'Í'Í'Í'Íͨ* '33333"333“3333'333333333333ʻ3'3333333333333333333 3333333333**** “ÍÂQ71SQVG 7Ø°3'K.K9999999444444444444444444444444494444444444494494999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999999999999999999999999S,888848848888888888888418 9; E8XZX8Gle************ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>pppp(i:::::: :::::::::PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP9999999999999988888888E8SSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSS SSSS SSSSS SS SSSS SSS SSSS SSSSS SS SSSSSS SSSS SSSSSS SSSSSS SS SSSSSS SSSSSSSSS SSSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSSSS SS SSSSSSS SSS SSSSSS SSSSSS SSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSSSS SS SSSSSSSSS SSSS SSSSSSS SSSSS SSSSSS SSS: SS SSSSSSSS SSSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSSSS SS SSSSSS SSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSSSS SS SSSSSSSSS SSSSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSSSSS SSS SSSSSS SSS: SSSSS SSSS SS -.9S SSSSSS SSS SSSSSS SSSSS SSS SSSSS SSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSS['U8;' "PP PPP PP PP PP PP PP PPPP PPP PP PP PP PP PP PP PP PP PP PP PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP1 111111111111l1111111111111111111111111111112222222222 22222222222222 222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222 222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222222 2222222222222222222 2222 2222 2 2222222 222 22222 22222222 2222PI43[58 $;'3 “44444 444444 44444 4PPP4 P4PPP4PP444P4PP444P4P4 444444444444444 4444444 444 '4 44 44442 1'P3J'; 5'[P[ 64^ ##########################################EEEEEEEEEMrds J MIKOKWDRRRRR RRRRRR RRRRK RRRRR RR RRRRRRRRR RRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRR RR RRRRRR R RRRRR RR R RKUID*_u79koop[ lk, all u999 Related Stories
