    Why then, is tracer being gay a big deal as if it was some amazing and special moment?

    Why does their sexuality deserve special treatment?

    I mean, if it were up to me, nobody would give a shit about a gay person being gay. There would be no special attention. Nothing. "I'm gay!" Yeah? So fcking what? Is that the only thing that defines you?

    But, I know gays don't want that. They enjoy their first world problems.

    They shouldn't force this heterosexuality down our necks.

    nice move blizz. people tend to overthink stuff like this.

    Does anyone else not give a shit? An entire, lovely comic and people only care about that one panel. I look forward to the day when someone being gay isnt a gigantic issue, positive or negative.

    It's a brave new world we live in when sexual orientation becomes an important part of our video game characters...

    Man, I remember the good old days with games like Castlevania. No weird fetishism or rule 34, just a straight white guy in a skirt running around and whipping bad, baaaad vampires.

    Nowadays everything has to be political and I just find that to be a total buzzkiller. Tracer is a great and likeable character regardless of where she likes to rub her fingers.

    are there people like that out there? sure, but guess what? there's plenty of others that don't. Im pointing out the absurdly broad strokes your making. all to add to your hall of whinging.

    people make it out to be a big deal, so what? you're not obligated to feel the same way. novel concept I know.

    from the comic I can't say it's made out to be any more special then the other happy families that are portrayed.

    Really? Look at the title of the thread.

    Apparently it was special enough.

    I find the concept no more horrifying then the relationship portrayed at the end of Pixles, YOU KNOW THE ONE. also I assume those are Reinhardt's grandkids.

    Eh. Mei is Bae.

    Well at least my Mei*Tracer fanfic is now 50% feasible.

    Go the rest of the way Blizzard.
    If you are particularly bold, you could use a Shiny Ditto. Do keep in mind though, this will infuriate your opponents due to Ditto's beauty. Please do not use Shiny Ditto. You have been warned.

    It'd make sense. Mei definitely has that SJW/Trigglypuff lesbian look:

    Also, Mei IRL:

    I see what they're doing though. Using the most known character in the OW universe a lesbian..
    I don't really understand your point. People are getting triggered because Tracer is a lesbian, not the other way around. I don't think this is being forced into the game to appease some crowd (I'm gay btw too). I didn't expect anything at all from Blizz on this front but I think it's a nice change of pace anyway.

    This is just the character of Tracer not some agenda.

    They're Torb's kids. Blizzard confirmed such over twitter.

    I don't think anyone is "triggered" that she's a lesbian. They are "triggered" because Blizzard is trying to be super progressive in a shooter game where lore/background means jack shit. Look at the characters so far, they are all super diverse races/ethnicities and now they are adding in sexual orientations. It feels forced and cringey. It's a shooter, nobody gives two shits about balance of ethnic diversity or which character is non-binary pansexuals. People play the game to frag, not celebrate how progressive the game is.

In that world, when you weren't fighting, you spent your time doing whatever it is you need to survive in a Medieval setting. Sure it has bunch of steampunk/high fantasy elements in it, but the majority of the people in that world still spend most of their time either farming or training.

    One last thing, for all the people who say it should have been Zarya, fuck that. I want hot lesbians.
    Actually in Wrath there is this pair of Night Elf women that are openly flirty to each other. Granted they're not major characters (cause as you say, the era it's based on) but it's hinted at.

    As for Zarya from a business standpoint I can't see Blizzard writing her as part of the LBGT community, she's Russian and the country already banned the Tracer comic because of that one image. If the Russian character comes out as Bi or Lesbian I wouldn't put it past the country to outright ban Overwatch game.

    Tracer is lesbian, wooowww, so what? what you want? fireworks? This doesnt make it better or worst and doesnt change how i see Tracer. I dont care about the sexual orientation of the character, i care about the depth of the character, the lore, the good part of the lore. This is just minor data.

    It was a clever move make the game's "mascot" LGBT, because is so cool, everyone love it and its something people talk in these days.

    Blizzard are not progressive enough. It's not cool to be just gay right now, we obviously need to go further.
    What if Tracer was ecosexual or transgender? Now we are talking.
    It also triggers me, that developers just assumed gender of their characters without asking them. Looks like they are not reading Tumblr enough.

    But even from the day Metzen came up on stage to announce Overwatch it was said that the universe and characters were not just going to be in a game. It was q cross media franchise from the start with stories being done in comics, short videos etc.

    From the start it was Earth's future, with real wield people from multiple walks of life, multiple nationalities and backstories.

    If people are upset cause Tracer is in a relationship with another woman yet utter no complaints about Torbjorn being shown with someone, the fact that Widowmaker was married or Pharah having a romantic meal with a guy, then they are part of a problem.
