Honestly, I'm perfectly fine with this. I have absolutely no idea why anyone would get angry or upset about a fictional character's sexual orientation, but I suppose people have to be angry about [b]something[/b], don't they?
Edit: I'm glad to see not many other people care much, either. Also, as a side note, you've gotta give props to Blizzard. It takes some balls to make the face of Overwatch (she's on the game case, at the forefront of all online advertising, the most widely known character from the game, etc) openly gay.

6 RepliesI don't play Overwatch, I don't care if Tracer's gay, I'm just sick of everybody practically forcing companies to make games "politically correct" and "inclusive", it's turning everyone soft

1 ReplyStill doesn't change the fact no one is going to move the damn payload.

Edited by GoalieZach: 12/27/2016 8:40:10 AMAll the people getting annoyed, just don't pay attention to the comics! Sure you'll hear about it but you hear about stuff everyday that you don't necessarily agree with, but that doesn't change anything!

2 RepliesPolitical garbage has no place in video games. People play to have fun, who gives two shits about a [b][i]fictional[/i][/b] character's sexual preference.

2 RepliesMy issue with this Tracer kiss is that now they make seem like it is ok to post pictures of gays kissing. I don't care what them gays do at home, but i don't want to see it on the comics that show kids its ok to post same sex kissing pictures. Also a gay Tracer is now not attractive to me. Makes me not want to buy the game.

I won't be playing tracer anymore

Was this confirmed by blizzard?

Of all people I would have thought widow maker or zarya. I would never have expected tracer. I think this is rather forced as it doesn't fit the character well.

14 RepliesThe game is obviously targeted at a wider audience which includes children. Just look at the commercials. Now diversity exists but you don't need to teach kids that it is ok to be kissing the same sex. They should learn those things from other sources. Not from video games.

1 ReplyIve thusfar seen 0 threads on this forum from bigots complaining about tracers sexuality, and probably 10+ from smug liberals that need everyone to know how ok with it they are. You can be progressive without telling everyone about it.

Edited by DarkMythos: 12/24/2016 3:47:26 AMPeople who get angry at this are -blam!-ing stupid. People who get angry at people for getting angry at this are stupid. In the grand scheme of things I don't see why people would even care about details like this both inside and outside development. If I were to write a character, the last things I would think about is their gender, sexuality, race, etc..., it just doesn't seem important to the character in any way. But hey, it's the 21st century, the age of fragile feelings and butt hurt idiots who think it does for some reason.

The people getting angry over this are probably the same that fap to lesbian porn of her. Not that agree with the fact of her sexuality because it is obviously pandering to SJW and its forced.

I'll never understand why the homophobes and select few Jesus-freaks get so scared of gay people. Two people of the same gender love each other? No way, this is worse than 5 holocausts! I even saw a tweet how a person was "disgusted and won't be able to play Overwatch anymore because it's against my Christian will." Oh well, natural selection will eventually take action. "What letter does hell start with h? H. What letter does homosexual start with? I'll give you a guess... it's H. Homosexuality-- is against god" [spoiler]sorry if I came on a bit to strong and rustled your jimmies[/spoiler]

1 ReplySo she legit gay? Thats cool I guess.

I bet if the payload looked gay it finally get more attention

I love that a few people are giving up the game because of this. That means less chance for me to run into some bigots in solo Q

2 RepliesEdited by aiv6: 12/22/2016 3:24:08 AMIt's amazing how one character gets more attention than the -blam!-ing payload because she's gay. A post about her on the Overwatch forums already has 3000 replies.
