Ah, yes. Blizzard playing to their greatest strength: the R34 community...

"Please don't make erotica featuring our characters."

From the very start this fan base has been obsessed with fucking these characters lol. Whatever magic blizzard has it really sends these folks.

They're shoving this crap down our throats

A lot of weird people out there.

I remember seeing PornHub search results charts, and people were searching for Pokemon, Overwatch and as crazy as it seems.... Minecraft(!) porn clips.

You'd think based on how much all this nonsense is pushed that 90% of the population is gay. I guess in 100 years human civilization will die out.

All according to plan.

 

[Griffon]

That's how you recognize stupid people, for them a list of racial traits, sexual kinks and mental disorders are a substitute for a personality.

 

[Pop]

How gay

 

[The Alien]

Serious question, as I don’t play Overwatch: Is there a straight flag? I don’t let my sexual orientation define who I am, but I am curious on if they included it.

Don't be silly. Of course there's not a straight flag. This is about inclusion.

Reminds me of this classic tweet

 

[Green_Eyes]

Why work hard at being good people when you can simply ACCEPT EVERYONE. Easy points, easy morality; now I can feel better about being inhuman, yay!

Just imagine the dinner time talk and family get togethers with this Twitter person. Family members must be proud.

I know it's really hard to tell these days but it's actually a very funny parody account (and not a real person).

How about people keep their bedroom preferences in the bedroom and out of our games.

June, the month where we are officially bombarded non stop with the same lgbt propaganda that we get the rest of the year. This month it's just official. Yay?

Progress pride flag

Spoiler

 

[Noxxera]

nvm cant be arsed

 

[mckmas8808]

There isn't. You'll be called a racist bigot if you try to create one. That's how inclusive they've become.

Why would you be a racist for wanting a straight flag?

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

It's not that serious. It is corporate virtue signalling, they don't actually care about being progressive and inclusive. This is more about meeting the status quo.

Didn't say it was serious. Said it was obnoxious as fuck.

 

[Shh]

It's a parody account my dude.

Which is nearly impossible to tell the difference these days.

The average activist lacks the vocabulary to describe people they disagree with in all but the simplest terms.

*Shrug* So long as Mei like white dick I don't care if the entire rest of the cast being gay, bi, pan, or omnicsexual.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

As someone who is gay. They could've kept this. I just started playing year and didn't even pick the rainbow icon because in these game spaces I identify as a gamer. If they included this from jump. Kudos because these banners, icons, etc are for expression. But to wait until Pride month like it's going to bring in new people screams pandering. Again, for those who want it I understand but why now? This is how these dumb debates start to happen and then we have to defend ourselves because these corporations are so out of tuned.

That's what makes it all so obnoxious. It's the obvious pandering out of greed and the agendas that are shoved in our faces. In gaming its gotten rediculous in the last 5 years or so.

 

[Rhazkul]

So much sex related stuff in a game/community that hates men for sexualizing females. Weird...

"players have speculated on the sexual orientations of Baptiste and Pharah"

Lol....

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Serious question, as I don’t play Overwatch: Is there a straight flag? I don’t let my sexual orientation define who I am, but I am curious on if they included it.

No, because publicly sharing your straightness is a sign of white supremacy.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Overwatch released in 2016, and only now do we find out Pharah is attracted to women. If that was truly such an important aspect to her character, we would have known before, right?

The fact that they're revealing this stuff years later, for a pride event, just to garner attention and approval just feels manipulative and exploitative. It's a disservice to their own creation, the players and even the queer community they pretend to care so much about. Disgusting.

I’m sure there’s a term for greenwashing but in respect to sex and gender.

 

[Companion Cube]

Good for them.

I’m all for representation but I will say I think it’s weird for Blizzard to declare character sexualities like they’re new features to look forward to.

2023: The most important thing about you is who you have sex with.

Does the general gay community even care about stuff like this?

Or are things like pride parades, video game inclusivity, and any other LGBT promotion really just aimed at the vocal crowd?

I can’t speak for everyone, but as a straight guy I don’t care about classifying my character creation as straight while I’m shooting enemies and calling down predator missile kill streaks. I just make a character, pick a class, make some weapon load outs and play.

 

[Joramun]

Racist is the belief of a race being superior . The word you mean is homophobic.

Why would you be a racist for wanting a straight flag?

I was identifying as a leftist and repeating one of their default responses when they don't like/disagree with other people. Maybe not the exact response, but one of the very few.

I love the overuse of the terms "white supremacist" and "Nazi" ... and the fact that anyone, even people that aren't white, can be white supremacists. By today's leftist standards, MLK would be considered a white supremacist and an Uncle Tom. We truly are living in the most mentally retarded era of human civilization.

Anything "phobic" for disagreeing with someone is also immensely stupid.

I guess the power of the pussy is starting to lose its power.

Do OW2 players fuck in the game?

 

[Shtef]

 

[Perfo]

There are more “classes” tied to my sexuality than classes in my D&D games nowadays. I can finally play the role of my choice in r.l. just with my dick, yay!

 

[JC 1080P CRT]

Every time some damn company makes a post or event like this, the responses are predictable. The wokes go YAS QUEEN, the anti-wokes get in a tizzy, etc. etc.

It feels like stuff like this is undermining all the social progress that certain people were asking for, and even helping to swing the pendulum back.
Selfishly, I feel mad at the fake corporate appeals and how people eat it up without questioning its sincerity, embarrassed at being tangentially associated, and worried about how far the aforementioned pendulum swing will go.

Does Twitter flag parody accounts the same way they flag many others?

Can't wait for Blizzard to release a statement that I am gay for playing their games

So... Is there even a straight character? Serious question

We truly are living in the most mentally retarded era of human civilization.

Isn't it ironic how the tool that was supposed to enlighten the people and connect us is responsible for the exact opposite? It's instead fracturing us and dumbing society down. Humans weren't ready for the internet...
