Tracer confirmed first LGBT character

[Deleted]

To "sad" it was not Pharah and mercy due to the entire fandom around them being a couple.

LGBT = Let God Burn Them???

Let God Burn Them Quickly

Infracted

As long as it's girl on girl i'm cool

So brave, so diverse, so progressive. I will not stop this movement until we have a pansexual non-binary autistic hermaphrodite who is in love with a trashcan.

It was always kinda obvious that Tracer is gay, but it's nice to have it confirmed. (Totally not smiling like a fool right now, by the way).

Good on Blizzard for being progressive.

because everyone knows what matters about a character is who they are banging.

everyone needs a reason to fight and who they are "banging" usualy helps

*the question is not, why do we fight. But rather, what is worth fighting for.*

but hey who cares! the comic had way more mysteries and the tracer one was obvious

[DeadmanWalking]

I see Reaper peepin tom on a family, must be his ex, his kid and his ex's new guy. Does this make Reaper into Spawn?

[Wondercrab]

Tbh I'd find it hilarious if every human turned out to be gay and only bastion and zenyata were "straight" or whatever.

That would be incredible. Sign me up for this.

Yeah well it was pretty clear from the start. That short hair and all.

[Pendulous]

okay so tracer is gay, ( not the biggest suprise) Pharah is dating,married or she spends christmas with her Father? (the man looks older) ana and jack spend time together ( could this mean jack is pharah's father?), Reinhardt is spending time wit Torb and his wife, unsure if those are torbs kids or if reinhardt is a grandpa. Widow stil cares about her husband, and Genji and mercy stil send letters to each other.


Did we miss something else? maybe the reaper one? Could he have been married and had a child before he became what he is today?

People are speculating that the guy with Pharah is the same guy in the comic she promised a drink with if they finished the mission.

They're just building up the lore, that's all.

Why exactly do you need lore in a shooter? Why do you need relationships at all in shooters?

It's pointless.

In that case your objection would be to the existence of the comic and any character background whatsoever

[Kallisto]

Sooo..... there's several characters missing. Where are Zarya

Russians have their Christmas is January.

I would not have continued playing this game if the characters weren't interesting in a world where things were happening.

Don't know what makes shooters the exception to story telling in video games. It's not some flash puzzle game. People like story telling and background to the things they're doing. If you don't well don't worry, cause Tracer won't be lezzing out in game.

The fuck?

Every shooter near enough has had lore. Dating back from Wolfenstein 3D, Doom etc. If you mean team shooters then TF2 which is the closest that Overwatch is has a big lore background to it.

Same. It felt perhaps a bit too easy, but then again I won't complain over the fact LGBT groups are officially included in the game. Russia's reaction was entirely worth it.

But since Blizzard stated it wouldn't be the only LGBT character, I look forward to hear more. Perhaps it's not too late for McCree :P
