Overwatch

[Rio]

People are apparently very upset that their top waifu is gay.

Spoiler

Christ, it's just a fictional character.

"I don't hate gay people but..." is basically the homophobic version of "I'm not racist but..."

I also love the "not everybody has to be gay!!!" over the fact that they made 1 out of 21 characters a lesbian.

I don't get why people are so surprised the obvious-lesbo character turns out to be a lesbian

All the straight SFM porn in the world doesn't change that she looks like she likes to munch carpet

Trust me, it's just gonna be 'YAY FOR THE GAY' for a few weeks and then they'll find something to complain about.
Like maybe when Doomfist's revealed, they'll say he's too stereotypically black or whatever. I wanna bet that they'll hold him to black american standards despite the fact that he'd technically be from Western Africa (wiki says somewhere between modern Ghana and Nigeria).

Unfortunately, with tumblr, it's much quicker then that.

They're already bickering over the Genji/Mercy letter thing because it implies that they're in a relationship. It just messes with their fantasy that everyones gay in fiction.

What's tumblr's opinion on the Old Spice guy from the commercials? He's currently pegged to be the guy voicing him.

Tumblr firmly believes every single character in that game is a sexual minority. Even characters who canonically had/have opposite sex partners (Ana, Widowmaker, and now apparently Torn).

the straights are so greedy. you already have your confirmed straight :/ you don’t need more. torbjorn is shoving it in our faces enough. it’s really annoying and overwatch shouldn’t be about appeasing the straights. my heart sunk when i saw torbjorn being in the same panel as a woman and looking affectionate… devastated even… but i really don’t hate the straights. i promise. hopefully torbjorn being confirmed straight will appease them

An actual random tumblr post that appeared on my board as has currently 3215 notes. I want to believe it's a joke but... poe's law.

Why does Jeff blink so much?

Overwatch needs a CTF mode. I'd play the shit out of that.

But that's not what they're reacting to. They're throwing a hissy fit over a single character in a video game having a girlfriend. That's funny to me.

What's funny to me is ur lack of underwear

Don't forget Mccree because his belt buckle said "GAMF" in the winter skin. Forgetting he is supposed to be scrooge and it stands for "Greedy/Grumpy Ass Mother Fucker" and not "Gay Ass Mother Fucker".

I'm just upset that Tracer celebrates Christmas

Y NO JEWISH WAIFU BLIZZARD!?!?!?

 

[KingGeedorah]

I just want fucking Oasis in my life and these fucks can't get over a free comic.

I NEED TO PUSH PEOPLE INTO TRAFFIC AS LUCIO BLIZZARD.

My favourite overreaction to tracer being gay on the blizzard forums:

(does this mean he is top 500 at being straight?)

 

[c-no]

Honestly, I find both sides reactions to be utterly hilarious. The tumblrina's acting all high and mighty whilst screaming 'suck on that cis scum.' Whilst at the same time arguing among each other about the possibility that Tracer is bisexual. (Honestly, who cares? She's fictional.) But, the waifu posts never cease to make me laugh. Its funny to see them cry over a fictional character.

Tumblr's complaints aren't gonna do much since 1) Tracer as a lesbian will still be fapbait for the cis scum that get off on lesbians and 2) It is a video game character. People getting upset over a fictional character are only making fools of themselves, especially those that took shippings and such

Unfortunately, with tumblr, it's much quicker then that.

Anything Blizzard makes can go against anyone's autistic head-canon. With Tracer being lesbian, it would ruin any stupid shipping people try to pair her with. With the Genji/Mercy thing, Tumblr will complain of it being a hetero relationship unless any of them tried to be like Rory and think of Genji or Mercy as trans.

Whether troll or serious, this is bound to get some responses that could be filled with cringe.

I know that Tracer is a fictional character and shit, and although I don't care that she's considered a lesbian in canon, it feels something that was forced to appease SJWs due to a lack of "diversity".
