The usual Blizzard sexual dimorphism. Does it matter to you?

[Milch]

Really? I thought the metal panties were a bit of a give away.

Also

Armoured Male = http://eu.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/reinhardt/
Armoured Female = http://eu.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/pharah/

Note the obvious differences.

So you are already judging that Reinhardt is a male because of the look even though it is armor? Like how people were amazed back in the day when Samus turned out to be female under all that armor.

[Count Zero]

Actually it's about eth...

Whoops, thought I was in the offtopic section.

[Noomz]

I can agree with it actually. There's so little variety in the female characters, whilst the male ones are very different. Though at the same time, all the male characters are super buff and strong.

[Feali]

Pharah, while armoured appears to be wearing metal panties and her armour designers have taken the time to include a shapely (but armoured) butt for you to look at while she is running around.

She's not THAT black.

He's a guy... you should read his story.

[blackblade]

Diablo 3 has the barbarian, she's fairly large. HotS has Zagarra, Li Li and Sgt. Hammer. Not a lot of options, but at least I can name one. Overwatch is lacking even that.

It also has the barbarian from diablo 3

He is a guy in the game lore, but we do not see him outside the suit, he is also fictional, but I guess we have these set standards of what male/female looks like and we know automatically what sex is under that suit.

[Spraxle]

As someone who hates their body (every aspect of it) I could care less. I would rather play a character that is 'attractive' then one that's an extension of my reality. I guess it's a good thing you're championing a non-issue... Seriously.

[urasim]

Blame woman for wanting to play characters that look like attractive woman. I don't think most woman want to play gorillas or robots.

What do they want to play as? Can anyone show me an example of what they'd want to play as from a female prospective?

dont you dare touch my tracer waifu

... So? He's still a 61 year old guy- in massive armor who lives by knightly codes of
valor, justice, and courage.

And we know this by the armor, if the armors were switched he would still be a 61 year old guy- in armor who lives by knightly codes of
valor, justice, and courage.

We know this from the character story. The armor as nothing to do with it, but it fits
his character.

I still don't get your point.

I don't have exact statistics, but if you'd ever played WoW you'd know what I am talking about.

What are the most popular female WoW races? The attractive, thin, generously proportionate human-esque races (Human, Night Elf, Blood Elf and in the case of cute; Gnomes and Pandaren) or the animalistic, different or chubby races (Dwarves, Tauren, Orcs, Goblins and Trolls).

[Tastyfish]

I'm irritated by it, as usual. The guys get a bunch of different options for looks. Robots, dwarves, gorillas. Monstrous differences in height too. When you look at the women? Barely any physical differences between them. One has a bit more armor. Could one not be a large amazonian? Maybe a female dwarf or robot? I know it's Blizzard and I should learn to accept it, but it's still damn disappointing.

IF you are going to Parrot Machintoshes bullshit
OWN UP to the fact you are seeding this forum with that drama.

[Emma]

You don't have to 'learn to accept' anything. Stop grudgingly accepting things you don't approve of, as if you don't have a hundred other gaming options available to you.

If you don't like a company's practices, then don't support the company -- whether it's financially or through social media exposure, such as threads like this. Period. You've heard of the phrase, "All press is good press," right?

Of all the things to bitch about. I swear they need to make a special 'PC' option just for people like you. I really wonder how people like you manage in real life. Seriously I do.

[Aquamonkey]

According to Blizzard, one of the two is somehow identified as "male" - the monk one; the other, "Bastion" is referred to as "it."

So that's one "dude" robot.

Zenyatta and his group believe they transcend AI and possess the essence of a soul, like humans.

[Xisa]

This is like the HuffPo pages trying to get Disney to animate people that look like "Real" Women.

You know, implying that if you aren't average, you're a freak, not a human. Gotta go for that lowest common denominator.
