Well, no. Widowmaker having a husband is canon. Widowmaker being straight isn’t canon, that is an assumption made based on her having a husband.

Bullshit.

I see a lot of comments speculating about the time fans have to ship characters. To all of you making these comments, you are HYPOCRITES. You presume to judge others for how they enjoy spending their free time, when you are enjoying your free time by judging others. Why don’t you go JUDGE yourselves instead. I f~¢¿ing…

A characters sexuality or lack thereof always serves the story. Always. An asexual character lacks some dimension of motive that sexual characters are driven by, but is also isolated by the increased difficulty of trying to empathize with people obsessed with sex. The more sexual a character is, regardless of…

Who the fuck cares? What people chose to imagine isn’t hurting you.

I feel like Reaper or Soldier 76 need to be gay. THAT would be subversive. Especially Reaper, just as a poke at all the edgelords who play him.

Overwatch fans have a right to be cynical in this situation, given that the number of LGBT characters in Blizzard’s 25 years of game franchises is pretty much at zero.

what if 76 and reaper fought over who got to pick the catering company for their wedding?

I’d put money down that it’s him. Blizzard likes it’s tropes, so a gay Zarya would fit their standard MO, but something about the story team for Overwatch and the character cast in general...I’m willing to bet they do exactly this.

I want this too. It would be pretty lame to make her gay, with her character design. Much better to make her hetero (don’t judge a book by its cover) and make someone like Soldier 76 (stock shooter hero) gay.

Soldier 76. I *so* want the flag-wearing, stereotypical military badass to be gay.

I’d almost prefer if it was Soldier 76, their hero. Because I suspect if they made Reaper gay, they’d get ugly and associate his apparently insulting edigness with “being so gay.”

“There is the problem where people say ‘Well, we don’t want to make it about them being gay.’ Well no, we want that, if I’m honest. I want to know they’re gay! I want that, I want you to shove that down people’s throats. Until we get to a point where the world doesn’t care, I want it. We need to care.”

Widowmaker having a husband, that she was brainwashed to kill, is canon. These characters all have stories that are released as part of promotional material. In game dialogue also hints at their relationships. They are not pulling it completely out of thin air.

Yes, heaven forfend people to stories and art about romances between fictional characters. Surely humanity has never done that before.

Holy shit. I think her envelopes were what made me try to draw my own.

Hot chicks will get you Rule 34, but it won’t get you ‘shippers. What’s happening here is separate from the Overwatch porn on PornHub.

It’s mostly women doing this artwork.
