This makes no sense. Gay people dont like guns, we like shopping
Might give Paladins a go. Then I'll be finally done with nublizz, besides the odd HOTS game here and there.
Cool. Story isnt made awkward and isnt hamfisted into the lore. I dont see why people would be upset.
They're creating unrealistic worlds to appease a vocal minority. As was stated already, they hit almost every group of "oppressed" folks. When a game has 25ish characters, and almost a quarter or a half are gay... That isn't reality. That is them trying to squeeze into this weird SJ thing going on.
about 10% of the human population is gay, I would assume at least one of them in the game would be too lol.
let's change the game's name from overwatch to overboard while we are at it.
on a more serious note, if i was gay, i wouldn't care if a few pixels are also gay. it's just me though, maybe it is THAT important for a certain group of people. i mean, i am an atheist but i don't feel particularly happy if/when i see another atheist, let alone a fictional character.
let the sjw rain begin !
war does not determine who is right, only who is left.
I think the younger generation coming up is a bit more confused about life, and their sexuality in general. So no, it wouldn't surprise me. But of the few gamer friends and non-gamer friends I have that aren't straight. They hate this kind of virture signaling, they want to just be like everyone else. They don't want the attention on who they are or want it plastered all over the place. I'm also in my 30s, as are most of them, so they aren't this younger crowd that want's everything to be in their favor. And special treatment because they consider themselves different.
Don't remember the last time I played Overwatch. This just makes me not want to play it at all again.
