Representation matters. He is the ultimate ZADDY

Got to protect his pretty face under that mask.

The creator of "Manly Guys Doing Manly Things" called it years ago.

Wow, if boring and pointless virtue signaling was gameplay, maybe Overwatch would be a good game!

To all the hater: Representation matters

In Overwatch we have:
LGBTQ
Autism
Variety of ages
Body positivity
Non conforming gender expression
Many different races and cultures
Professions
Family dynamics

Those are just the ones I could think of. I think its wonderful that they have created a game where many people can find a character they can identify with. The characters in Overwatch are diverse...like the world

[NoRest4Wicked]

He can't be gay, I saw a video with him and Mei and they weren't doing gay things.....

YEEHAW! I'm this close to crying tears of joy, what a blessed day huh

They even have a meat head straight guy (in Reinhardt) so all the crying man babies are represented!

It's pretty fucking satirical when a company goes out of its way to make players TLBGQ friendly, just so they don't have to hear the backlash from .001% of its player base. What you do behind closed doors is your business, and you have every right to it. When you make it public, for the sole purpose of attention or to rub it in someones face... You're a POS. As the OP has shown to be.

''Guys our game is dying what do we do''.

It's like Rowling all over again.

[Beastiel]

still by far the most boring character in the game.

Those cis, hetero white guys have it so damn ROUGH. Being any kind of minority is so out of their scope that they can't/won't fathom how important representation is to us and they dismiss it as pandering

Hes identifying as gay. Hes not having gay sex in the comic. I dont see the problem. Do you see a problem when 99.999% of all media is straight media too?

[Topornic]

Yeah like it was really damn necessary for the game's well being.

[The Stormbringer]

After looking at the panels, I have to admit it was well done. Just a small part of the overall comic, letting us know that even Soldier 76 once had romance, but he sacrificed a chance at that kind of life for the good of the world.

They also have one ethereal wraith for us ominous edgelords.

Did you look at the actual comic? Would you feel the same way if the person in the picture with him was a woman named Victoria instead of a man named Vincent?

.001%?

You really think that 99.999% of blizz playerbase is straight and non-LGBT?

You'd be surprised how many gamers are gay, I meet tons on various games. Hell recently a majority of people ive met playing games were gay, surprising to me.

[Byleth]

I don't get the big deal? Imagine in 2019 being upset by a characters orientation?

[agentsi]

I don't view the media in terms of their sexual representation. Only the information they're trying to convey. I don't purposely divide things into straight or not. That is a huge waste of energy.
