Tracer confirmed first LGBT character

[kouby]

Totally.
Lets face the truth: There are pedophiles in the real universe so they WILL exist in Overwatch based on the REAL universe in the future. People need to grow up and realize that there are people different from them and be aware and thus be protected

Lets face the truth: There are drugs in the real universe so they WILL exist in Overwatch based on the REAL universe in the future. People need to grow up and realize that there are people different from them and be aware how they harm their life and thus be protected

Lets face the truth: There are satanists in the real universe so they WILL exist in Overwatch based on the REAL universe in the future. People need to grow up and realize that there are people different from them and be aware and thus be protected

... and so on.

... Let's fucking throw ALL the DIRT in the world in the face of our children so they know/try.

This is not anti-LGBT post, at all. But the logic just sucks

parading your sexual fantasies in public to show off how original you are was never about being logical, only about making everything, and the rest of the world, revolve around your cunt, or dick.

We now know what the payload's gender is and it is male because Tracer's never on top of it.

[Shadow Fox]

Imho.
Pharmecry should of been first.

Especially since the Tracer LBGT one was from a Fanfic... When Pharmercy was before, and more widely known...

[Asrialol]

Why is this a big deal? And, why do you guys make it into a big deal?

[Jessicka]

Eh? Tracer's a proper Tomboy, surely this didn't come as that big a surprise to you?

[Mormolyce]

Maybe force her to stop playing all together he? See how that works out.

The ''Anti''-PC police is at it again, getting pissed off at everything.

And then claiming their opponents are "easily triggered" lol.

a dinner alone with your family is a perfectly normal holiday thing to do.

i don't really see anything there to make me think it has to be romantic.

Mmm yeah at first I thought it was a romantic candlelit dinner, but on closer inspection it's a lantern.

[HordeFanboy]

consider that it's probably the parents not letting the daughter choose Tracer, and then rethink what you said about "acceptance".

Imo doughter should know about other sexual orientations.
You know.... someday somehow she can wake up with other woman in a bed.
Btw its a video game. Isnt it lol?

This reaction was probably the most hilarious i've seen regarding this. The picture to the right.

To people who aren't, "Deranged," as you put it, yes. Why does it even upset you? Tracer being gay has no impact on your life at all.

So her being straight would have no impact on your life either? (just playing devils advocate here).

Your average feminist/male ally, find something to bitch about always, take offense where there is none.

He's getting desperate now that he is no longer Anita's puppetmaster.

I'm not surprised. I mean, the whole game was designed for the SJW/LBGTQ/Non-binary gender/female empowerment/bullied, it-gets-better/millennial hipster crowd.

As for me, Overwatch never appealed to me personally. I'm just gonna stick with Battlefield 1 (since I'm a history major). So to each his own I guess.

[Rudkobing]

You know people can actually go both ways? It's a much better fantasy IMO.

Tru dat.

Fun for all.

/thumbs up

Historical accuracies everywhere.

10/10 realism of trench warfare.

Hey man, firefights on zeppelins totally DID happen in WW1!

[Balir]

Tracer seems like a total free spirit. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if she swings both ways. The fact that she's flirty and playful with everyone kinda supports my theory. The young lady in the comic is her current love. Personally I kinda like it as it suits her character to a tee.

What?? xD

If I'm a chef I guess that means I should only play Cook, Serve, Delicious!

Hahaha get your oven mitts out boys, this is a pretty hot take. Overwatch was designed by Anita Sarkeesian during Lilith Fair.

[Tharkkun]

How about we just have no gays, no straights, no nada.

I just wanna play vidya, I don't care about where you stick your junk in what or where. I just wanna shoot shit, etc. I use this to escape from the real world, not be constantly reminded of it.

Leave that crap out of it. I don't want to see someone kissing his wife before he goes to war. I don't want to see Tracer getting macked on by her mutant lesbian lover either.

Because people from LGBT groups get upset if the sexuality they identify with isn't represented in a fictional cartoon universe. As if it has any connection to reality.

If people weren't complete asshats who judge, ridicule and creates laws to punish the LGBT community maybe they would live a normal life. But fear and ego's got in the way so this is the result.

Your two different responses here seem sort of contradictory? LGBT people being underrepresented in popular entertainment is related to people ridiculing, judging and legislating against LGBT people. Underrepresentation leads to continued ignorance. I think it's cool to have a flagship character with a non-straight sexual identity and I think all the people freaking out and raging will become better people each time they're forced to deal with something like this.

I love how some people are calling this forced as though heteronormativity isn't drowning virtually every piece of fiction, AND real life.

People assume heterosexuality is the "default." Then they listen to specious reasoning from bigoted friends and family. Then they vote Trump/Republican/conservative. Then they wonder why their saviors haven't fixed shit. Then they blame the left and "PC culture." Then they disown their queer kids. Then wonder why they're alone and miserable.

Men are garbage. Masculinity poisons everything, so much so that Tracer can't even have a girlfriend without backlash. Humanity blows.

Heterosexuality is the default and it makes complete sense that the vast majority group gets the vast majority of media.
I'm sure you would say I have internal homophobia/oppression for saying that. Sometimes the facts are not easy to accept but avoiding them leads to more self deception and ideology.
