The Overwatch lead lore writer has specified that Tracer is a lesbian.

That makes no sense. Early on fans asked if any of the Overwatch characters were gay (people started ‘shipping Widowtracer immediately after the announcement trailer came out). Blizzard said yes, they’d reveal who at some point.

What’s even better is you can specify what kind of music to play in different situations. So you can have separate custom music for in-station easy listening, for just cruising around, and for combat.

“Condolences and fond farewells are already pouring in for the late English performer, whose hits include “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” and “Club Tropicana”

I’ve worked for people I don’t like. (Happily the people at my current job are super nice). I’ve done things at jobs I didn’t like. But I’ve never violated what I feel are my basic moral dealbreakers for a job. Trump is not any random Republican, it’s not a matter of like or policy disagreement. I feel supporting…

How did that old rerun promo go? “If you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you.” :)

Invisible Inc was also 2015. Great game tho.

Of course. Plenty of “youtube stars” are just funny people or give relatable advice or have some kind of skill people want to watch. It’s the prankster/”social experiment” people who are awful.

I also like this one:

Or, most infuriating of all, the “Well I said that, but now that you’ve made decisions based on what I said, I’m not going to do that. I was just saying stuff that sounded good. It doesn’t matter now.”

That’s not what he says. He asks his brother which member is his favorite. First he mentions Fusionator, then says.. “No, no, Tracer”, and then does her catchphrase. Yes, he’s clearly an excited fanboy, but he’s very explicit and specific that Tracer is his favorite (especially given that Fusionator hasn’t been…

She’s the first character highlighted in the gameplay trailer. She’s the favorite hero of the kid in the announcement cinematic. She’s on the cover of the game. She was the first character ported over into Heroes of the Storm. It’s kind of hard to see how she isn’t the game’s mascot (followed by Winston and…

Why does Torbjorn have 20 kids retroactively?

M/M ships will almost inevitably be more popular, slashers heavily outnumber femslashers. But WidowTracer (Tracer shipped romantically with Widowmaker) is so prominent the developers mentioned it at Blizzcon.

Enh, on the other hand, she’s the face of the franchise. They chose their highest profile character, the one they market the whole game around, for this.

Plaid drunk?

Your timeline makes no sense at all. What does “switched off from” Zarya mean? She was created long after we already knew about Russia’s grossly anti-gay policies. Zarya was introduced in March of 2015. Russia passed the recent spate of anti-gay legislation in 2013. They had the Sochi Olymics in 2014, where their…

It matters to people who care about lore/background stories, of which there are many in the sorts of games that have lore that doesn’t impact gameplay (League of Legends and many licensed strategy games come to mind). Also, we’ve known about the heterosexual relationships histories of several other Overwatch…

Blizzard says the thing’s stabilizer field works in an area, so it’s okay so long as it’s near her.

We know Widowmaker had a husband. We now know Torbjorn has a lady friend and a lot of kids. We know Ana had some kind of husband or something she had Pharah with. We know Reinhart is kinda sweet on Ana. We know Tracer has a girlfriend. People are only complaining about a character being “sexualized” with one of…
