Why are Pharmercy fans so annoying?

They'll disparage any ship that isn't Pharmercy even if it's with another girl. They're violently opposed to theories like Mercy being older than she appears just because they're worried it'd make their pairing creepy (Pharah and Mercy are adults so it shouldn't matter). They reduce Pharah and Mercy to "butch and femme" stereotypes and ignore stuff like Pharah being young and inexperienced for the sake of absurdly typical portrayals. They're constantly harassing the creators about it too. They don't even have much intreraction in voice lines compared to each other and act like a brawl that exists solely because they can both fly is support for their pairing.

As an idea Pharmercy is fine, but it's fanbase has made me utterly sick of it.

Actually the whole thing started in the exact opposite way. Because when the first few D.va/Mercy pictures started being posted, there were some Pharmercyfags who couldn't help but be triggered about it and would go on about how it was a bad pairing.

>>2215230
Is pretty right.

There are plenty of decent pharmercy shippers, but a lot of them come across like annoying tumblrfags just trying too hard to seek legitimacy and getting triggered by anything that contradicts or threatens that.

Now it's completely the opposite. Pharmercy fags have toned it down, but any time someone tries to post Pharmercy in an OW thread with or wihtout commentary, they get out the pitchforks. Can't we all get along?
>>

No, they haven't. They are the same as always, now with more "playing the victim" thrown in the mix.

Pharmercy here, eh, Idk others but I like that theory about Mercy being older, the idea of Phara being young and inexperienced, and Mercy being jealous for Phara being stronger even if she is younger.

I think is just that we don't enjoy other ships as much as this one, if you found a shitty shipper it was for being shitty person in the first place not for being a pharmercy shipper

It's kinda cute how whenever someone complains about Pharmercyfags they always assume it must be Dva/Mercy shippers because they think the only reason someone could possibly not ship their shitty ship is if they wanted Mercy with someone else.

Not saying complaining about Pharmercyfags was necessary here, but also it seems they can never not take the bait.

So insecure.

Pharah is more often than not the target though, since a lot of people find her pretty boring overall. One could say her popularity stems only from being shipped with Mercy, who is pretty damn popular (and gets shipped with like half the cast as such).

Pretty sure the whole thing started because of that. You know, the whole Genji thing. That obviously got a lot of people buttflustered and that's when the huge meta facts tirade began.

What's your take on it?

Weren't the words of the mod something like "talk about gameplay and lore are to be taken to the /vg/ thread because neither has anything to do with yuri"?
Strictly speaking we're only allowed to talk yuri stuff here.

>>2216141
Makes sense to me.
>>
>>2216140

They got slapped because it shifted to focusing on the guys in the setting lorewise. We've had discussions involving the girls in the setting because they were the focus. Christ this game brought the worst people.

i don't think this is really policed that hard, unless someone goes and reports it, which is more likely to happen if the conversation is only about dudes.

>So it's somehow not surprising that this eventually turned into "your ship sucks and muh is much better"

shipfags fighting isn't exactly a new phenomenon on /u/. or this thread.

we're also on 4chan where disparaging what other people like is the norm.

>Tracer a dyke, girlfriend a literally who
>Pharah having dinner with Dad?/boyfriend?
>Ana with 76, apparently having a depressing talk about the old days
>Sombra drinking with McCree
>Emotionless WM having emotions at her husbands grave

OK I guess. Only killed one ship I liked with a possible second.
>>
>>2217549
Ok, so before WidowTracer fans burn this thread to the ground, I just wanna say Tracer's girlfriend is cute.
>>
>>2217560
What? I'm a Widowtracer fag but I feel nothing short of joy at this.
>>
>>2217562
I've been around the block a few times nee-san, I always expect the worst when this sort of thing happens.

That said I see Chu also managed to fit his preferred ship in as well as usual.
>>
>>2217560
You're retarded if you think shippers care about canon girlfriends. The fact that she's gay is huge for any /u/ ship.
>>
>>2217549
So with their one gay revealed this means everyone else is straight, right?

That's typically how these things go.
>>
>>2217560
WidowTracer was never gonna be canon for the simple reason that Blizzard would be unlikely enough to try something challenging like write a romance between enemies at all, much less combined with making them gay as fuck. Pity, but inevitable.

So, I'll gladly take the gay. Now, Pharmercy I would feel far more annoyed by even though I feel like it's inevitable they give one a dude LI eventually.
>>
>>2217563
>That said I see Chu also managed to fit his preferred ship in as well as usual.
Shit, you're right. Ew. Didn't notice at first.
>>
>>2217549
Only thing I'm annoyed by is that they made the girl that looks the most like a stereotypical lesbian (I mean, after Zarya arguably) the gay one. Muh femmes.

On the other hand I do like Tracer so her being gay is great, AND she's probably the most heavily branded/recognizable Overwatch character for the general gaming public, so that's pretty huge too.
>>
>>2217549
So basically Tracer is the confirmed gay. Nice. At least now that's settled I guess.
>>
>>2217563
>his preferred ship in as well as usual.
The feather along with letter/photo you mean?

I'm more interested in the fact Angela wears her suit literally everywhere.
>>
>>2217549
It's a marketing stunt.

The most emotional moment in this comic was when Winston looked like he was going to spend Christmas alone. Dude had a hard life.
>>
>>2217571
If I had a suit that auto healed me and let me fly around I don't think I'd take it off either desu, and yes the letter/feather means Genji is at least writing Angela. That's probably as far as Chu felt like pushing it for now. Everyone else is either chilling (Although Sombra and McCree drinking in the bar together is interesting) or doing something sad (Widow's at Gerards grave, which makes... little sense honestly. Does she feel bad about that? How does that work?)

Torb having a wife is interesting too, and I loved Rein reading stories for the all the kids. Wonder if any of them are his.
>>
>>2217573
>Widow's at Gerards grave, which makes... little sense honestly. Does she feel bad about that? How does that work?
C'mon. Haven't we had this talk before? If we don't try to deny it, some emotions are definitely still there. Repressed and faint, but still. Like in the way she tells Ana "You don't know anything about him" or whatever. But whatever, it'll lead to yet another argument so let's brush past it.
>>
>>2217565
Shit, I hope not. They better have the ovaries and balls to make Mercy gay too. Then I'll gladly let the rest be straight.

Alright, yurifags, rev up those twitters and tumblrs and pixivs and whatever the fuck else we use, cause the race is on to find a pic of a jealous Widowmaker attempting something on Tracer's girlfriend.
>>
>>2217565
>>2217575
Nah, I accept nothing unless clearly confirmed by them. So one gay confirmed, everyone else is still open for interpretation not straight by default.
>>
>>2217573
I've barely played the game since beta, so I can't really see how a feather implies Genji. (Not that I doubt it's a hint of that, but just curious as to why.)
>>
>>2217549
It bothers me, Tracer's chronal accelerator is a medical device that keeps her anchored to the present time but apparently she can just shrug it off when off-duty? Could be an oversight by the artist but that's a bit odd.
>>
>>2217576
I remember when someone said if Pharah was revealed to have an unrelated girlfriend they would write a fic with yandere Mercy trying as hard as she could to fuck her. I feel that could be adapted to this situation
>>
>>2217579
The accelerator is not too far away from her, plugged into something that might expand its range.
>>
>>2217579
Maybe she only starts disassociating after some time without it.

>Overwatch lore consistency
>>
>>2217575
Chu won't let that happen and we all know it. Hell there's more Genji/Mercy teasing in this very comic.

>>2217574
I meant in the sense that she clearly enjoys her ah, new line of work, but I guess she feels guilty about what she did to make it happen? I really wish they'd show us what went down during the two weeks after she was rescued before she assassinated Gerard and left to join Talon.

>>2217578
Genji's motif is a sparrow. His helmet is shaped like a sparrows beak and it's the name of one of his pre-cyborg skins as well. In the comic, you can see on the big splash page that he's writing a letter while holding a sparrow feather, and that Angela is reading a letter while holding a sparrow feather as well. All it really implies is that they keep in touch of course, but that's enough for a ship tease.
>>
>>2217584
>but that's enough for a ship tease.
I see, and I personally feel that's about as clear as day that they're end-game for Chu.

But, haha, who cares about canon - amirite?
>>
>>2217573
>and I loved Rein reading stories for the all the kids. Wonder if any of them are his.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of them where his grandkids, isn't he 60 odd years old?
>>
>>2217587
the only canon in Overwatch is "Buy more lootboxes!".

They aren't going to do anything major to fuck with a skinner box moneymaker.
>>
>>2217587
Like we didn't know that much already. Fuck it. Tracer is canonically gay, that's all that matters right now.
>>
>>2217549
Pretty much everyone had Tracer pegged for a dyke, so no surprise here. I am pretty impressed that Blizzard went with it, though, in such a blatant fashion.

Even so,
>Emily
>literally fucking who

She's so generic it's silly.
>>
>>2217587
I imagine a lot more people do now that Tracer's confirmed gay at the very least. Looks like they teased Pharah's dad too, which is nice of them. Looks like a quiet Christmas dinner, though it's kind of odd Ana's choosing to hole up somewhere with Jack instead of being with them. I wonder if he knows she's still alive? Pharah clearly still cares enough about her father to visit him.

>>2217588
61 I think. Doesn't look like he has a wife there, but that doesn't mean much. Why does Torb have a normal left hand? The one he's stroking the womans cheek with? Can he just take that prosthetic arm off?

>>2217591
Generic is fine for now. She's a cute redhead. I guess Tracer can exist within a certain radius of her CA as well, so that's cool.
>>
>>2217592
>Fareeha's father
You just wait, it's probably her husband - as it is weird Ana is nowhere near this dinner.
>>
>>2217592
>Pharah's dad
C'mon
>>
>>2217591
>She's so generic it's silly.
Shut up she's cute!
>>
>>2217595
>>2217598
Nah, he's too old. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't her dad. Ana is still a wanted fugitive, I assume she's holed up in a safehouse with Jack somewhere. Blizzard did say they wanted to introduce her father "when the time was right" and this feels like a good way to do it. I'd be surprised if they didn't confirm it somewhere later today since I'm sure people will ask.
>>
Happy that Tracer's gay but really Emily?

>Emily - Amelie? Fucking sneaky Blizzard
>So when will they break up?

I'm sorry sistahs, my Widowtracer feels are overflowing. Sad holidays :-( A emoticon for once.
>>
>>2217588
>>2217592
Yea I interpret that as more Torb's family with uncle Rein visiting for the holidays. And I would assume he would be able to switch GIANT METAL CLAW for a normal prosthetic like Symmetra and McCree
>>
>>2217580
>Pharah was revealed to have an unrelated girlfriend
>>2217603
>Emily - Amelie? Fucking sneaky Blizzard

Remember how we joked that Pharah's girlfriend would also be a vaguely Swiss/Germanish blonde doctor?
>>
>>2217602
The only thing that alludes to him being "old" is that white streak in his hair but really, that dinner atmosphere suggests a bit of a romantic setting. I don't know, maybe it's just me. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
>>
So what should the shipn ame for Tracer/Emily be?

>>2217611
"Canon"

>>2217612
Fuck off you have a whole other thread to complain into

Widowtracer was a trash ship, anyway.
Pity that the chances of pharmercy happening dropped by like 95% though.
>>
>>2217612
Guess everyone will simply stop making content now, because it's non-canon.

That's how it always goes, isn't it?
>>
>>2217616
You can get out now.
>>
I was hoping at least Pharah was the one who turned out to be gay. Tracer being gay is like the lowest hanging fruit.

Thank you Jesus for this early Christmas gift. It was either Tracer or Pharah I wanted to be gay, leaning more towards Tracer, so I am incredibly happy right now.

I can't quite believe they let the poster girl of Overwatch actually be gay though.
>>
>>2217621
You don't like the "Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized within the week, I've already discussed the matter with the senator" look for Pharah?
>>
>>2217608
>Remember how we joked that Pharah's girlfriend would also be a vaguely Swiss/Germanish blonde doctor?
Yes anon, I should be giggling at your silly joke but I just can't. I'm really torn apart by this.
>>
>>2217625
She was an easy bet though
>>
>>2217621
Blizzard has come out more than once saying Pharah has all her limbs and that's it's just armor.

It won't stop them

>>2217623
Yeah Zarya or Tracer are both the low hanging fruit especially since Zarya is seen as a LGBT symbol in Russia. For me its just boring that the hyper pixie is the gay one. Pharah needs more development and they could've given it to her. Instead they continue to develop her family instead of her directly.
>>
>>2217626
kek, I wouldn't care if it wasn't already debunked by the twitter account
>>
>>2217629
How? She's quite the stereotype type, yes, but so is Zarya. If they wanted to go pure fanservice route they could've made it any popular character that doesn't effect the lore too badly, like D.Va. Since Tracer is the poster girl of the entire game and tied to the lore through Overwatch I thought she'd be a riskier bet.
>>
>>2217562
Same anon, same. Let's go drink through the holidays. My holiday had already turned sour after all.
>>
>>2217637
I don't think that many people thinks of her as the poster girl now so many months after the game release and so many other characters getting the spotlight in comics and animations etc.
>>
>>2217643
she is the poster girl though. She's on the cover, she's frequently on major GUI elements and she's on the logo for OWL. Pretty much she's the most recognized OW character.
>>
>>2217549
Shame the art is garbo. They should hire some o' them gooks to draw it for them.
>>
>>2217621
Yeah, damn sexy!

>>2217643
She still is. As the trolls say, she's the Pikachu of the game.

>therefore if/when the LGBT character was revealed, the hero would likely be in a relationship with an outsider character

I was on Widowtracer from Day 1 so yeah, it's gonna be an interesting next few days, but I've been prepared for this scenario since the day they said there was gonna be a gay hero.
>>
>>2217649
Haha true. Murrica can do better. I've seen amazing comic artist but why did they have to settle for this quality.

>>2217651
Still shipping them though? I still do, I'll sink with it.
>>
>>2217643
Just because the other characters are getting fleshed out doesn't mean Tracer isn't the poster girl anymore. For newcomers to the game, she's instantly recognisable since she's the one on the boxart, she has lots of merch and she's in the most well known trailers.
>>

Evidently it can project some kind of field or something that has the same effect, you can see it plugged into the wall in her place after she's done shopping and again when she's having dinner with Emily/Winston
>>
>>2217675
>>2217677
Read the comic. She's got it nearby.
>>
>>2217675
I think she can take it off for short periods of time or something.

Or maybe winston figured out a better solution.
>>
>>2217684
You know you aren't suppose to ask that here. You remind me, I'll check /vg/ for that lol.

>>2217678
I know sis, at least I saw Pharah's biceps. See me in jail.
>>
Tracer's girlfriend is cute.

Cue guilt over unwanted sexy feelings about Widowmaker, followed by jealous Emily after seeing how close they get when one of their battles ends up on the news.

but they can make up after the drama, I'm giving her a chance
>>
>>2217691
You also forgot the drama over Emily not knowing that Overwatch has been recalled.
Unless she's a member too of course.

Strictly speaking, the only thing it confirms is that Tracer is in a romantic relationship with a redhead named Emily. Everything else is implied at best. That said, I doubt they'll reveal another female as gay for a while at least.
>>
>>2217737
If anything it just debunks every ship with Tracer in it that's not /u/
>>
>>2217744
I don't see what's particularly dumb about it. I guess the range maybe?
>>
>>2217740
I doubt Pharmercy is gonna be canon now. Of course there's still Hana, Mei, Zarya, Symmetra, Sombra and maybe Fareeha (not holding my breath on the last one though)
>>
>>2217737
No D.VA, no Zarya, no Mei, no Symmetra, and Sombra and Mercy weren't doing anything to deny shipping. Pharah is debatable at worst. So only Widowmaker got hit by the comic and that was no surprise to anyone already paying attention.
>>
>>2217749

It was never going to be canon. This comic did nothing to either add or take from that.

I'd love to see a source on this. I mean all I heard was Blizzard confirming a gay character. But I'd love to see the proof you have where Blizzard openly confirms, 2 months ago, that Tracer is gay.

That's not something they pulled out of their cracks so I'm fine with this new morsel of canon.

Still, its range in extended mode must be abysmal if it's so close to her in both panels. Probably it's not even powerful enough to cover her entire apartment, small as it appears.

I'm normally like this, but I feel like Widowtracer is a "forbidden" enough relationship that there's room in there for Tracer to have an actual significant other.

I like the main cast having relationships outside of each other, though. Torb's family, Reinhardt and his squire.

She doesn't even look particularly tall in the comic (let alone the 6ft+ in this picture).

Probably but another female character wouldn't hurt.

I doubt it. Since Chu het-fag wanted it to be revealed 'naturally'. I'm sorry but this comic wasn't even subtle. What's only subtle was his own 'agenda' shoving.

An article said that Lucio might be a transman like wtf, while Sombra make sense. Who even extorts beautiful, powerful women from time to time.

To give credit where it's due, the whole Genji/Angela thing in the comics was done pretty well. And yes, this was a far cry from subtle. I expected to see whoever they wanted to reveal as gay casually flirting with people of the same sex at most, not having an out-of-nowhere significant other.

I expected that as well. The whole ordeal felt like agenda pushing and blatant marketing. Which shows how shitty a writer Chu is. Yes that Gency scene was brilliant but overall, the comic barely delivered its purpose.
>>
>>2217903
>Tracer has 2 hands
That can be easily fixed.

>>2217911
Duh. That's why they're called "speculations". Nobody is saying that's 100% her father. I'm saying her having dinner with an older man doesn't necessarily mean she's going to take him out the back and go on a ride to funky town, since, you know, this also isn't confirmed by Blizzard.

I can't believe they fucking did it.

The correct Tracer ship is now this

>Emily is Tracer's official girlfriend
>Tracer and Widowmaker have a flirty rivalry on the side that Emily doesn't know about
>Their rivalry becomes gradually more physical/sexual
>Tracer feels guilty about it but can't bring herself to stop
>Emily suspects something's up
>Events proceed as the shipper deems fit

Please ensure that your Tracer shipping aligns with these guidelines, and we can all have a merry Christmas. Thank you.

>Poor Emily. I can sense her character being slowly butchered by Widowtracer fans.
She literally exists to be a plot device for the villains to exploit. All good superheroes need an S/O to be their weakness. Calling it now, the next time we see Widowmaker and Tracer cross paths, Emily will be caught in the middle. Preferably literally in a web.
>>
Funny how I've been recently thinking it's all the same fanart and fanfics, why is that? Oh because there's no new material to base on. Now this happened, I can't wait for the fanworks!

This desu, there's gonna be a bonanza of Tracer/Emily art now.

I'm gonna go ahead and ruin Emily for at least a few unfortunate few of you:

Moon Over June
>>

I guess I'm behind the times but what the hell is Moon over June?

>>2217954
True, but that's all implied. People are going to jump on the canon bandwagon for at least a week or two. Does Sombra even have a popular pairing? I've only seen crackships for her.
>>
>>2217957
It's something old and terrible. Best left forgotten. Anon's trying too hard to rain on the parade
>>
I'm happy that it's Tracer, ever since I started playing Overwatch I have been thinking that she was absolutely adorable and that she would make for great /u/ stuff.
Also, I'm glad that they didn't go for Zarya or Sombra. People are saying that Tracer is too stereotypical, but in fact those two would have been so much worse.
>>
>>2217957
She doesn't, closest we've got is her newly added line that hasn't made it to live yet where she says "Ah widowmaker my favorite spider." which could give some shipping fuel.

For me though top pairing and the most delicious one is Sombra/Katya. Blackmailing her for sex and degrading the most powerful woman in Russia is a huge turn on.
>>
>>2217915
Pretty sure is the same dude that was in her comic. Saleh or something
>>
>>2217951
I'll tolerate you dear anon, now be happy with your Tracer/Emily while I lecherously indulge in my Widowtracer.

> Should really be the one pissed at her name, what parent does that!? Eh-hem anyway Summer comes from a big family and hates men because her brothers teased her apparently. Her irrational hatred of men is explained as the “reason” for her lesbianism. Once her parents find out about her forced sapphic tendencies they sent her to an all girls catholic school.

Sometimes I want to thank Madokami for giving us the internet and all its glorious bullshit.

I'm glad it wasn't Zarya either. That would've been a shitshow.

He really doesn't. No older than 40ish anyway
>>
>>2217974
>>2217975
I'm really certain it's her dad, but got to check the comics first sistahs! I'll be back.
>>
>>2217979
That much grey hair on him, he's definitely older than 40 unless he is some extreme fringe case.

Like, guys that young CAN have lots of wrinkles and some grey in their hair, but it's so weird to me that this is the more likely scenario to some people than Pharah just spending Christmas with her dad.
>>
>>2217979
Perhaps that anon meant "too old to be Pharah's teammate". As far as I remember, that guy was pretty young-looking.
>>
>>2217979
That's ancient in anime years
>>
>>2217982
http://comic.playoverwatch.com/issues/overwatch/5/en-us/pages/9/9-4.jpg
Then again, maybe not. Although I doubt he would've been able to get that much gray hair in such short time.
>>
>>2217982
He wasn't that young looking, go read the comic. He's around Pharah's age if not older but not by too much. And keep in mind that each artist draws a character differently.
>>
>>2217986
>Although I doubt he would've been able to get that much gray hair in such short time.
The lighting in Pharah's comic is different, darker. The white streak doesn't exactly stand out among all those blue tones but you can see that it's there.

I'm not saying I'm 100% sure it's him either but it does make sense in a way. As for the hair, I think you can actually see that it's a bit darker on the upper head than above the ears. Well, of course like you said, nothing is certain until confirmed by Blizzard.

Redheads do have souls, depending on how many they have stolen. You can tell how many souls a ginger has stolen by counting the freckles on their faces.

I assume that people illed by tracer was transfered to Emily via coitus and Emily is a storage tank for the souls when Tracer is tired or Emil is controling Tracer with her devil vagina to feed

>>2218101
But think of the possibilities!

>>2218104
Yes! Tracer has to break the news to her that she needs to go back out on missions, and Emily is totally down for her gf to go be a hero but is still worried and doesn't want to be far from her so she insists on moving in to one of the watchpoints.

>the team thinks it's a bad idea because Emily's safety would be at risk, but Tracer promises to look after her
>Emily doesn't want to be a burden so she starts performing errands in and around the base to earn her keep

But then!

>Talon learns of her relationship with one of Overwatch's top agents
>they exploit this and kidnap her while she's outside one day
>cue Tracer heroically rescuing her waifu

And:

>the episode prompts Emily to ask Ana or someone to teach her how to defend herself and maybe use some firearms (she doesn't want Tracer to know)
>after a few weeks of secret lessons, she challenges Tracer to a sparring match
>Tracer doesn't know what she's on about, but humors her anyway and goes super easy on her
>Emily catches her off guard and successfully defeats her, pinning Tracer to the ground rather provocatively

Yeah, I'm usually not that kind of person, but if Gency is made canon I might end up stopping playing Mercy altogether. Wouldn't really impact my performance because I can play every other support hero just as effectively, and in fact prefer Ana in most situations.

And I don't hate Pharmercy, I love it. I'm just being pessimistic (realistic) about it. The head writer is a Gencyfag and Pharah has zero character focus, so they can just throw her in with some random dude and nobody bats an eye.

I only come on here for Overwatch, why does everyone keep mentioning the "Hibike" thread like its some sort of primordial curse?
>>
>>2218174
Then why are you here?
>>
>>2218126
Even if Gency happens I want Pharah to be the other lesbian on the team. Just so she can have more of a story fleshed out. Like seriously they keep building out her family more than her. If it turns out the person she's eating with is her father, we'll get 3 comics of her dad, 2 more comics of Ana and her dad, and an animated short of Ana and her dad going on an adventure.

Pharah is the least developed character and it really sucks because there's hints of her archetype and her personalty that are just being left unused.

Not by a long shot.
Details of her relationships with other people are still character development for her, like it or not. There are other cast members with far less.

Don't bother if you don't watch the show. But if you are familiar with the series, an episode contained insufferable amounts of het and the thread had gone ballistic about it. The thread exploded earlier, thankfully the thread calmed the hell down now. I was there, it was glorious.
>>

Because I clearly just don't stop playing a character just because she turned out to be straight

I doubt we're getting even another one. Next one's for the fujos.

>>2218187
>insufferable amounts of het
First, stop being so tied to your ship that you suffer from basically nothing. Second, everyone went into the show knowing she had those feelings, you had more than a year to prepare.

I like to think of Pharah some sort of generic bland MC, what makes her interesting is the people surrounding her. A wallflower.

Doubt Blizzard favor her the least. In-game, she's consistently given skins and most of those skins were pretty dang decent.

The lore is still expanding though, let's wait and hope Blizzard drop the bomb on her father next.

D.va is probably the last character who will ever be confirmed gay, or even in any kind of relationship. Overwatch just surpassed LoL as the most played game in South Korean internet cafes, and D.va is their primary waifubait.

Making her have any kind of love interest (particularly a female one, considering how homophobic the country still is) would trigger them to oblivion.

Which is a shame, since she's probably the most stereotypically "yuri schoolgirl" character of them all. Would've been cute.

I'm gonna draw both.

>>2218331

Ok their bodies are fine and proportions are not bad, but what the fuck is wrong with those faces?

It's like they let an 8 year old draw them in they're so off model and gross
>>
>>2217748

I feel like the range would be something that was taken into account at least a bit with the "doesn't have to be physically touching her" thing.

At least this way she can fucking shower without it strapped on and she doesn't need to worry about a broken belt in a gunfight flinging her through time.

I can't wait until Emily is dead and Widow and Tracer can have comfort sex with each other while mourning the loved ones they lost.

Seriously though, how is this confirming/denying anything? We already knew Widow had a husband and we already knew she isn't as emotionless as they said she is.
All it does is showing us Amelie is still saveable.
Also it confirms Gerard is deep into the ground and won't be coming back like lots of folks likes to speculate

Similarly for Tracer, having a girlfriend isn't an be all, end all, the story is just starting, lots of things can happen.

Pharah is probably spending Christmas with her dad since Blizz said she and people in universe know who he is and it's not really a big deal

Seeing the various states of the 5 stages from shipperfags and others that are in denial over the sexual orientation/relationship status of an imaginary time pixie is hilarious. What's next?

Emily smooches tracer:
>uh that's how britbongs greet each other in the future that doesn't prove anything i'd kiss someone if she gifted me a scarf ;_;

Tracer full on french kisses emily for three panels after rescuing her or some shit in the next comic i don't know
>uh well tracer freed her and they're happy to see her this doesn't really prove anything besides it's a french kiss that means widowtracer confirmed

Emily fingers tracer in a soapy shower scene in the comic after that when they finally get some time alone
>well you can't see her fingers she could be scratching an itch that tracer couldn't reach like faithful roommates do. You also gotta dig real deep to clean some war gunk in the shower. This proves nothing.

The brawl for a future week is just an in game depiction of Emily explicity sitting on tracer's face while tracer screams out "oh god i love eating your pussy because i love you and nothing can change that especially this is in game and not in an ancillary comic that augments the lore of overwatch. Now cum in my mouth because im a huge fagget" while the entire cast stands by and watches in various states of interest.

>>
>>2218614
Yeah it seems like people are trying to stir more drama that in actuality there is.
That said I did see some people being angry about this and I mean I get why people are salty, all the months of fanart and fanfic are suddenly made invalid because you will see an art and think "well this wouldn't happen like this because Lena had a girlfriend all along. She wouldn't try to get a date with Widow. She wasn't single and available to fall in love with this mysterious French beauty. After their encounter in Alive she didn't go to her apartment in which she lives alone and wasn't unable to sleep because Widow would be the only thing on her mind." So when someones pre-established headcanon is challenged in this way it might seem like their ship got rekt.
But the inclusion of MJ itself doesn't mean Widow and Tracer have no chance of happening anymore. The story can go whenever. All the chemistry they had didn't get erased. If anything having one of them officially confirmed to be into chicks makes it more likely to happen than it was before. The only thing I wish is that the story wouldn't go at such a fucking snail pace.

>Overwatch just surpassed LoL as the most played game in South Korean internet cafes
It surpassed it for a bit then fell back down again. Still impressive but yeah. It's gonna keep growing though while League shrinks.

South Korea isn't that homophobic. Depending on the place, young Koreans can be more accepting than young Japanese. Hell, Geguri and Akaros are a lesbian pro player couple currently playing for EHOME and Korean netizens think they're adorable together. D.va being gay wouldn't really be a problem I don't think, especially considering Koreans already pair her up with just about every girl in the roster.
>>
>>2218629
>Geguri and Akaros are a lesbian pro player couple
lmao they are lesbians ? I followed them on twitter and twitch after hearing they are girls on a pro team because I wanted to watch them play. They never fucking stream but I did notice they spend lots of time together, but I thought they are only friends.

So I actually don't follow any Blizzard franchises except for Diablo and now Overwatch.
Diablo has a pretty straightforward story that doesn't get into characters a lot, what about Warcraft?
What's the potential for melodrama and crazy plot twists in Overwatch?
>>
>>2218736
Which warcraft?
>>
>>2218736
Warcraft has its young prince(now king) who is shipped with a male dragon prince.
But there's really no overt /u/ or /y/ present.
>>
>>2218736
>What's the potential for melodrama and crazy plot twists in Overwatch?
Low. First of all, Overwatch isn't an MMORPG. Second, as far as I know, WoW and Overwatch have different teams working on them. And trust me, you do not want WoW team to come closer than a mile to anything related to Overwatch.
>>
>>2218739
I meant the universe in general

>>2218740
I didn't mean to ask if there are gays in it, but in general, after all these years of development how does the lore look? Like, is it batshit like, say, Kingdom Hearts or a Marvel universe or is it something simpler?
>>
>>2218736
Warcraft is like Diablo. There's maybe potential but most of it focused on fantasy action. However the twists and craziness is pretty standard fantasy/hero adventure twists. Overwatch is about the only one where you would be interested in relationships.
>>
>>2218742
It's pretty batshit as different writers come in and fuck it up. So not quite as horribly convoluted as Marvel, but it's getting there.
>>
>>2218742
It's pretty tame. They can't really put any Shamalandingdong twists, since they need to have a linear "good guys are good, bad guys are bad" progression for players. It's not like they can swoop in and suddenly turn everything around in the middle of an expansion.
Writing itself is pretty inconsistent, even when you look at one expansion at a time. Taking Legion as an example, there are questlines that are actually interesting and engaging, and then there's fanfic-tier fangirling over the muscly horned winged blind guy.
When it comes to relationships between characters, it's also pretty weak. GW2 has more substance to it, and most of the time you don't even interact with NPCs. Most NPCs in Warcraft nowadays just give you quests and send you off on your merry journey, with the exception of staff favorites like Khadgar.

I kind of want to see a WidowTracer where Emily is killed by Talon (but not by Widow) and Tracer goes slightly crazy.

Etcetera.

Not really dark. Could've been a lot darker. Like add a twist that it was indeed Widow that killed Emily after watching Tracer for quite a while and figuring out that she'll lose herself in her job and that she'll be really vulnerable coupled with the fact that Widow and Tracer are kind of playful and from there Widow would predict that Tracer would latch onto her and afterwards could either pseudo-brainwash her or just make her really dependent on Widow to the point that she joins Talon as well just for Widow.

Could go even darker than that, but I mostly want the comfort aspect without Widow doing the killing.

More often then not they don't actually. Likely because of the risk involved, hence why the date one another.
And given that Emily isn't exactly shocked at Winston I'd say that she might actually have been a member of Overwatch herself, maybe just not a field agent.
>>
>>2218838
>>2218841
Pls dont write senpai

>>2218843
Well she wasn't featured in Recall that's because she probably didn't even exist when it was released

Hell the Sombra map doesnt even acknowledge her existence even as a ??? next to Tracer
>>
>>2218847
Clearly Emily is an even better hacker than Sombra if she's managed to hide her presence from her
>>
>>2218847
That's because she was in Tracer's heart all along
>>
>>2218843
That doesn't have to mean she was an OW member. She's probably known Winston personally for most of the year and he's a well known figure in Overwatch anyway.
>>
>>2218843
I doubt she was a member. Tracer's pretty famous, or at least she used to be. Kids in both the opening cinematic and Alive recognize her. Also, I can't imagine that the subject of her Chronal accelerator wouldn't come up on the first date, and any explanation of that would involve Winston and Overwatch. I assume she's well aware of Tracer's past and current friendships and chose to be with her despite the inherent risks to such a relationship.

>>2218853
Or maybe she was with the science team and helped Winston on the work of the Accelerator and that's how Tracer and her met in the first place.

>>
>>2218955
I guess they didn't know how to make it obvious she is gay without giving her a girlfriend. If she was shown flirting or something that could be easily deniable. If they showed some past lover that died they would be accused of dead gays trope.
I suppose they could have made Winston ask her about how her girlfriend is doing and she would respond how they arent dating anymore, but eh, that isn't as impactful as a full blown kiss. The story is going super slow meanwhile everyone was pressuring them into revealing the gay characters and obviously her kissing Widow or any other girl is not an option at this point of the story.
>>
>>2218978
>Winston ask her about how her girlfriend is doing and she would respond how they arent dating anymore
That actually would've been at least somewhat subtle. Maybe they could've bonded over spending Christmas without their loved ones, which is an opportunity to further expand on their friendship.
>>
>>2218978
Well, they did say they wanted to avoid any romantic relationships between characters, and both Tracer and Torbjorn are seen with with significant others that we had no idea about before yesterday (Torb also has eight kids apparently, damn son), so I guess they're sticking to that for now.

The problem with this is Chu. Everyone's afraid he's going to make Gency canon so naturally people think that other characters have a real chance of getting together.

There's more reason to be cynical if she was paired with a dude. Because that's usually what happens to us.
>>
>>2219016
Wow, so noble of you. Then Pharmercy sinks to the depths of the ocean. I see what you did there lol.
>>
>>2219011
I guess it's a play on how Amelie and Emily use same kanji but sound different. (Imported foreign names and so on.)
>>
>>2219009
Chu is always the elephant in the room for this topic, I agree. While I don't think he'll out and out show Mercy kissing Genji or something similar, he does seem able to sneak in hints pretty consistently. I don't see his preference for a particular ship as indicative of the chances of other heros getting together with each other though, I see the Gency situation as more of a "thumb on the scale" scenario. I mean if that's Pharah's dad she's having Christmas dinner with, then this comic pretty much shot down or put a serious hole in every major ship in one blow right? That's kind of impressive if nothing else.

>>2219026
They do? That's interesting. Wish someone could translate the whole thing.
>>
>>2219025
Yes, I'm a good person.

Honestly though, I wanted gay heroes but not already taken by some randos. Even if WT wouldn't become canon, I'd be happy with subtext. Now there's a huge rock standing in the way. Something like this won't make stop shipping them but it's pretty annoying.
>>
>>2219042
A huge rock with a death flag
>>
>>2219042
Well, from a strictly PR perspective, pairing Tracer with a character that didn't exist 48 hours ago is about the safest reveal you can do since it only involves one previously established character. Torb is a less nuanced version of this since they gave him both kids and a wife. I'd imagine, potential Gency issues aside, that this is how they're going to introduce other hero's love interests, should they decide to do so in the future.

>>2219042

A character who wouldn't probably exist because of some brilliant mind on Blizzard deciding they needed another publication stunt to keep their relevancy.

And also Toblerone is a sex machine.

It's mostly them clamoring for muh progressive character. Making history as the game who made their cover girl gay. I'm sorry, that's how I see it. Making Tracer gay was pretty acceptable, I couldn't even believed it at first. But the way they executed the reveal was quite distasteful. It's been said all over, they could have done better. Art and storywise.

Their previous comics like Train Hopper, Going Legit and Destroyer had decent quality. But imho, worst comic goes to Satya's lol.
>>
>>2219177
kek
>>
>>2219188
The entire concept of her getting on with some OC makes me shake my head but I don't see how the comic itself is distasteful. It was pretty heartwarming otherwise and we got a fuckload of lore info from just two pages which is always nice
>>
>>2219199
>OC

Well she is canon and not an OC.
>>
>>2218810
I want to believe!
>>
>>2219203
OC stands for 'original character', she is an original character that never appeared before this comic, still works
>>
>>2219209
Then it's meaningless. Every character is an OC in their first appearance. Well just have to wait and see if Emily shows up more.
>>
>>2219188
>But the way they executed the reveal was quite distasteful.

I completely disagree with this, I don't see how it's distasteful. Is it because of art quality? It's not the best but that does not make it distasteful. Is it because of Emily? If they just used a throwaway line people wouldn't be satisfied or would point blank deny it anyway and it's been made obvious that they don't want to show romance between the playable characters. They've had people nagging about gay characters constantly when they take audience questions so they had to do some sort of reveal and they chose to make it as obvious as possible to remove ambiguity.

Also it was cute and used in the spirit of the holidays, showing that Emily is her family along with that big lug Winston. Are Torb's wife and his litter of children distasteful too? Or is it just Tracer because she kissed a lady?

And they wouldn't be making any history at all by making their cover girl gay. She's not the first.
>>
>>2219188
>I'm sorry
I forgive you. You've spent too much time on the internet if you think this is their motivation
>>
>>2219188
Who really knows if Emily doesn't end up being a bit important in the future?
She's just one of the many bits and pieces we're currently getting of the lore. For all we know Blizzard won't be able to resist the drama of breaking them up in the future
Also no matter how it would've been done it would be seen as pandering by some and progressive by others.
>>
>>2219217
I'm worried they're going to forget about Emily like they have with Brigitte, but I'm also worried that they'll just use her as a drama plot device for Tracer. I guess I don't want more tragic lesbians happening anytime soon.
>>
>>2219177
This guy's entire twitter page is a riot that never ends.
I'd say he's trolling, but this is the internet, so it's impossible to tell for sure.
>>
>>2219212
Yes but Overwatch was released 7 months ago and she was never mentioned before, no matter how I look at this, she is a rando that suddenly came into the picture out of nowhere.
>>
>>2219227
>she is a rando that suddenly came into the picture out of nowhere
It's too soon to call her random. We have to wait and see if they plan on doing something relevant to the story with her.
>>
>>2219227
Same with Bridgett, same with Torb's wife, same with Katya, same with etc etc etc.

What else did you expect? For the playable characters to only know each other and no one else? There is nothing wrong with Emily appearing now, there is nothing wrong with Blizzard fleshing out backstories by introducing side characters.
>>
>>2219232
Well she is a rando at the moment, even if they develop her into something in the future. Which I doubt will happen anytime soon going by all the other comic original characters.

Is there any way to prevent WidowTracer from becoming the angstiest ship at this point? Or is that going to be it's primary appeal now?

Brigitte and Katya were at least namedropped/acknowledged in the game before.

It was already the angstiest ship.

Widow, calm down. She can't be a cheater if she was never in a relationship with you in the first place.
>>
>>2219244
To be fair though, those are both different situations with no romantic overtones. Mentioning Emily would have difficult without also hinting she's Tracer's girlfriend, and it's clear they wanted to reveal her in bigger way than some throwaway in-game line.
>>
>>2219199
I meant the reveal not the overall comic itself. The kiss just came out sudden. It's like an in yo face while I expected an ingenious reveal. Like the sneaky way Chu shove his ship every living chance he gets or like this >>2218991

I guess we could be thankful they made it blatant. We would be riddled by people like these >>2218034 if they went subtle.
And yeah
>Is it because of art quality?
that also. It's Tracer we're talking about here, she deserved high quality art in this short imho. Blizzard has a plateau of talented artist out there so why hold back with the graphics.

They could have made some innocent "i wonder how emily is doing" while Tracer is on a Kings Row. Like Zarya says "Katya is a hero to us all" It establishes the existence of a character without giving out anything. Or they could make an interaction like Mercy has with Reinhardt about Brigitte where she is mentioned casually.

Of course it's not like we should have expecetd that retroactively considering I'm pretty sure Emily didn't even exist before not so long ago

Widowmaker is already a self-made widow and Tracer and Widowmaker have a pretty charged rivalry.

These kind of tragic, emotionally charged scenarios were a natural development considering most of the other yuri flagships (e.g. Pharmercy) have pretty benign dynamics.

I mean, shit, Mei was frozen for years and literally everybody else in her eco-team thing is dead but all of her stuff with Zarya stays pretty goofy.

People were shipping characters when all we had was promo art. This is at least a step up from that.

>>2219373
It's not just you, it's basic storytelling. Show, Don't Tell. Actually showing two character show affection towards each other is a much more effective and less awkward way to do it.
>>
>>2219372
Of course I'm gonna choose a character I've grown accustomed while playing the game. Contrary to most people here I actually play the game and I consider it the most important medium as far as OW goes. I mainly care for the characters that I actually see and interact with in the game.
>>
>>2219410
Give it a few days.

>>2219410
Because Emily would never cheat on Tracer. Unless Widow ties her up and rapes her and then tells Tracer that Emily did it all out of her own accord.
>>
>>2218736
Well most Warcraft lore can be sorted into two categories.

1. Oh fuck someone's been corrupted, looks like these people who don't like each other very much will have to work together or they're doomed.
or
2. Oh fuck some interdimensional shit-kickers have shown up, looks like these people who don't like each other very much will have to work together or they're doomed.


Not sure how much that's going to bleed through to OW though.

>>2219352

Given the context of the original question, you forgot a big one anon
3. Oh fuck, this dead/banished/lost/disappeared-through-portal character is back again, and this time they're SUPER good/bad/weird! Time to recalibrate your shipping sensors again

Also Warcraft couples basically come in three flavors: long-established couples that are boring as fuck and not remotely /u/ relevant, new no-name NPC couples that will never show up again past this one place you run into them and not actually lore relevant at all, and finally utter clusterfucks which are reserved purely for currently active and relevant lore characters. Typically the clusterfuckiness is more down to the WoW lore-team's bewildering inability to introduce a fresh romance in a way that isn't 0 - 100 in one quest/cutscene combined with their uncanny talent for ignoring any previous set-up between two characters in favor of pairing the two with completely different characters.

Unfortunately only the second category is remotely relevant for /u/ at the moment and if you want lesbians in your yuri I hear the Old Republic and GW2 might be better choices? I figure Blizzard surely has to stumble into some lesbians soon though, they've already done it in OW now and OW has about 10% as many relevant characters.

Jaina/Maiev for 'fuck y'all you're fucking incompetent' couple. Of course Jaina has the literally who dragon guy right now - another bewildering romance choice from Blizzard - but it's not like they've invested anything in that particular couple. I almost didn't remember he existed.

I kinda want Liadrin/Yrel but it's pure crack - like every other /u/ ship - and sadly Blizz will never remember the latter exists again.

I can get that. Personally I always thought Widowmaker looked too silly to take seriously, romance or otherwise. So I was never into WidowTracer and thus Emily being more boring/normal didn't bother me in comparison.

I'll admit that it lack the thrill but that doesn't mean that you can't come up with ideas of how the relationship came to be. The only difference is that you already know the outcome and that they did end up together. The journey is now up to your imagination.

Why Tracer? Emily isn't some important figure in Overwatch.
Even if she was, Tracer is one herself so you can't just kidnap her.
>>
>>2219519
>>2219522
How do you know Emily didn't put Tracer up to that? Maybe they have a game of checking other girls' butts out and then when they get home and snuggle and rate the girl butts they've seen all day. Then they tell each other "your butt is still my favorite butt in the world" and kiss and make love.

To demoralize Overwatch as a whole. Or perhaps they had intended or thought Tracer would have gotten a different OW member killed.

Also the technique worked for WM so doing the same for Tracer, even if it kills nobody important, still lands them a new agent.

Of course she did. She was just off screen waiting to smooch Tracer.

The point of Widowmaker was to get to a high ranking agent that they couldnt reach any other way by using someone close to them. So by this logic, it would make more sense to turn Tracer's girlfriend into a WM2.0.
And Im pretty sure if they wanted to they could just kidnap a random person and turn them into an agent, no need to go into the trouble of getting someone famous like Tracer.
Even if they were specifically after Tracer's tech, Sombra already stole it and is using it.

I honestly don't know why people still think he is, Blizzard has said at least once that her farther isn't any of the playable heroes. It's most likely that old Canadian guy she's having dinner with.

Huh, interesting. Though I guess it makes sense.

>>2219830
I think you mean Mei
>>
>>2219835
I mean, we don't know how old he was when Pharah was born. Going by the ages listed on the Overwatch wiki, Ana was 28 when she had Fareeha. Her dad could've been anywhere from early - mid 20's to mid-late 30's at the time realistically. Alternatively, Ana's been under way more stress during her life and age has had a more drastic effect on her.

Now, I know we haven't seen her dad in any of her released materials, or Ana's for that matter, or even had a mention of him that I know of, but I think that's more because Blizzard didn't have an actual character for him until recently than him being absent from his daughters life.

>>2219843
Mei just got a legendary, and a pretty controversial one at that. She'll probably get an Epic, but they haven't given anyone back to back legendaries yet.

Well, Talon does have a proven track record of going after their adversaries loved ones if they can't get the person themselves...

Blizzard opened that can of worms, and with Overwatch being back and actively fighting against Talon they pretty much put a target sign on Emily as soon as they revealed her. Same for Torbs family by the way.

I think they're trying to tell us something.

>>2219991
They could be hinting at her having ties to Vancouver? When the Vancouver Canucks lost to the Bruins a couple years ago their fans rioted in the streets and the Bruins have been pretty widely hated there ever since.
>>
>>2219989
Boston Bruins are an American NHL team

Sorry, meant to quote >>2219991

Nice quads, but why the riot? Did they cheat?

>>2220002
Now that I think about it they either planned that from that start (highly unlikely) or just wanted to justify that "white skin" they gave her that people complained about like it's racist or something
>>
>>2220004
Esplains her native skin and the ice fishing spray too

It's probably to justify this, since IDpol threw quite a tantrum about it, cultural appropriation and shiet.

>>2220005
Yeah that's the skin I was referring to.

No, they didn't cheat, they blew Vancouver the fuck out actually, and Canada treats Hockey like Europeans treat soccer and the Canuck fans flipped their shit when the Bruins won and torched the place.

Besides, without advancing lore we wouldn't get new characters, like Sombra or Doomfist

Pharah being half leaf confirmed then.

This is the only tease of backstory/character development Pharah's had for months and all it really was was a reveal of who Pharah's dad is. Fuck you Blizzard.

Should've made her dad look like Wolverine.

Well, we know she keeps in touch with her father and appears to have a good relationship with him at least, that's more than we knew about her a few days ago. Also she probably wouldn't have even gotten this much if people hadn't made her father into a huge issue and caught Blizzard flatfooted with it.

>>2219767
She's described as someone who is always doing something all over the world. Her bio or whatever states even after shutting down of OW she was focusing on righting the wrongs around the world, in HotS she has a line that goes how she is bored with Earth since she was literally everywhere by now. And she was the first to respnd to the recall
That doesn't sound like someone with a steady relationship unless she's just having regular flings along the way.

>>2219910
I don't mind if she lives but I can't wait until she gets caught up in some Overwatch shenanigans out of which she barely comes out alive and decides this life is too much for a bland rando like her and breaks up with Tracer leaving her sad and heartbroken.

So do you think Widow knows Tracer is gay?
So when she teases her with "tiens, tiens, it looks like we will be working together" she is actually saying "well well aren't you happy you are gonna work with someone so hot like me you gay disaster" and when Tracer reponds "don't think I'm happy about that" she actually means "just because i'm gay and you are incredibly hot doesn't mean i automatically want to eat your ass"
And when she let Tracer straddle her do you think she did it deliberately to measure her reaction and how wet Tracer's pussy got out of being on top of a hot, dangerous French assassin and when she whispered "bye my sweatheart" into her ear was she actually mocking her?
>>
>>2220153
Sorry, but you ominously hinting at it makes me very curious.
>>
>>2220155
I think no, and I think it's a good thing she doesn't know.

The teasing comes from the fact, that she was able to assassinate someone, despite Tracer doing everything to prevent it. It's the smugness of superiority.
>>
>>2220159
...basically, and this is the mercifully short version, Ana's lore made a bunch of people, several of whom shipped WidowTracer, freak the fuck out. We went from ~200 posts to 900+ in 5 hours. One quote that really summed up the thread was "Lord have mercy on this dumpster fire". It was a complete shitshow.

>>2220162
Ah ok, thank you.
Shippers are the worst.
>>
>>2220162
It was hilarious. Mostly because they got riled up for nothing.
>>
>>2220162
It was more like people stirring up shit about how Ana is the new rival character for Widow which turned into a deconstruction of Alive and that wasn't even the longest argument in that thread, the longest was the discourse about Widow mentioning Gerard and how that disqualifies her from any /u/ forever, but yeah keep perpetuating this lie about how it was all WTfags freaking out.
>>
>>2220159
So Ana's comic came out and Widowmaker made an appearance and then some people were like "Anamelie!!!" and then most of the Widowtracer shippers went bonkers over it and there was this huge mess of "arguments" and shitposting.

they did say there would be a few. I don't expect more than 3 or 4 but if you have two gay dudes and two gay girls I'm fine. I just really hope it's Pharah and it'd be hilarious if the two most popular ships had two confirmed lesbians but they aren't both part of the ship.

And that sucks because now
a) some people will be discouraged from drawing Widowtracer
b) people will forget about Emily as she isn't even a real character and probably won't be relevant to the overall story. So after the initial wave of fanart passes no one will draw them anymore because nothing to stimulate people to do it. Like what happened with Katya/Sombra except Katya is still relevant in game's plot and has even a map in game named after herself and we can be sure she will reappear.

So all that will happen is we are gonna get less /u/ fanwork
>>
i hate emily cause it takes away time and resources that could be used for widowtracer

>>2220330

Same at this point I'd prefer if she was gay with Sombra.
>>
>>2220328
How did you plan to go down, just out of question?

>>2220331
Well, as far as WidowTracer art goes, I expect that some people will keep drawing it like nothing happened, but I suspect that a lot of artists will work Emily into it somehow, either as an adversary or an OT3 situation. I wouldn't worry about people forgetting about Emily at all though, Katya didn't have any overt romantic overtones and Sombra using her for nefarious sexual purposes was a pretty niche appeal. Emily is Tracer's girlfriend, she'll be getting art and fics for a while even without Blizzard doing anything else with her.
>>
>>2220283
>>2220287
They're obviously going for the "It's not a big deal" angle, which is FINE from a storytelling stand point and I don't think there is a need for criticism because there is nothing objective to be said about it.

The only thing here is just your personal preference and I can tell you that I personally hate the fact that Tracer's love interest is some nobody.
>>

It's not very far from it though

>>2220344
>Emily is Tracer's girlfriend, she'll be getting art and fics for a while even without Blizzard doing anything else with her.
We'll see but I give it a month tops, there's just so much you can do with a pairing that has nothing interesting going for it
>>
>>2220284
They said there would be multiple gay characters. Not multiple lesbians, sis.
They could just make a dude gay and not having lied.
>>
>>2220346
I'm not surprised it's some nobody, they said other heroes were romantically off-limits. That only leaves people who aren't currently involved in the game. Unless they decided to pair her with Brigitte there is a serious dearth of options for previously established single females.

>>2220351
Oh I agree, I'm not saying this will last forever and a day without more lore infusions and fleshing out of Emily/her relationship with Tracer. People will be riding high on it for a few weeks at least though. Emily being a blank slate lets people put any kind of characteristics they want on her until we get a more solid look at her.
>>
>>2220353
They never said "gay" though they said "LGBT"
>>
>>2220346
This. If they at least had mentioned that Emily herself used to be part of Overwatch then that would at least be SOMETHING, hell they could have further developed it in a Valentine's Day comic because as of now it's the only real romantic relationship with one of the characters, but then they said "nah we don't plan an event like that".

I wouldn't worry about the state of Widowtracer too much. If Blizzard doesn't deliver then Emily will be forgotten, because that novelty is going to die as soon as next year alone because she's way too christmas theme-ish designed already.
I'd be more worried about Pharmercy because Blizzard seems to go out of it's way to shoot that one down.
>>

>I'm not surprised it's some nobody, they said other heroes were romantically off-limits. That only leaves people who aren't currently involved in the game. Unless they decided to pair her with Brigitte there is a serious dearth of options for previously established single females.
You know, if only Blizzard had planned something, I dunno, a graphic novel that fleshes out the characters a bit more where Emily could've been mentioned before just so that this didn't come right out of nowhere.
>>
>>2220364
Emily would have "came out of nowhere" at some point regardless. Again, I don't think Blizzard took the "wrong" approach here.

I just don't fucking like it and I want my SS WidowTracer to stay afloat.
>>
>>2220359
There was another option, not giving her an entire relationship at all. Being confirmed a lesbian doesnt mean she must suddenly be living with a girlfriend.
Honestly that's what's bothering me the most I guess, OW is fun for the scarce story and fans filling in the blanks but suddeny they come and put a huge canon thorn on all your imaginary scenarios involving Tracer and nullifying almost 2 years of it.
>>
>>2220369
There's that too. She could have just mentioned that she's gonna have a date with a cute ginger girl to Winston soon while they prep for Christmas.
>>
>>2220369

Still cant believe the reveal trailer was from 2014.

Goddamn where did all the time go?
>>
>>2220363
>Blizzard seems to go out it's way to shoot that one down

Chu goes out of his way to shoot that one down. Blizzard just goes along with it.

>>2220364
Eh, this seems like circular logic to me. They had to introduce Emily SOMEWHERE, and she would've come out of nowhere regardless of how they did it. Now that she's an established if rather ephemeral presence it's up to Blizzard to do something with her besides "Hey guys Tracer has a girlfriend".

>>2220369
We both know that just saying she preferred girls without backing it up with anything would've gone down way worse than this. That's just how the world is these days. It's always going to be a problem when you start fleshing out what had been a mostly blank canon, blank canons let people come up with whatever they want, but inevitably someone's fantasy is going to get pushed aside as the writers start putting more definition into their characters.
>>
>>2220346
>>2220363
relationships with other mercs is highly unprofessional.
You have to deal with the fact, that when they are at odds, it's would be lore breaking.

Just like Pharah and Ana already is.

Would she have come out of nowhere if for example she was introduced as someone working within Overwatch that Tracer was on friendly terms with (maybe from the science department) and then it only later gets revealed that she's in a relationship with er now?
>>
>>2220363
>I wouldn't worry about the state of Widowtracer too much.
At least on tumblr where a lot of WT art comes from, people are gonna get shit for drawing it now. Aside of the usual "Widowmaker is straight/has no emotions/She hates Tracer/ Tracer hates her for killing robodude" there now is "Tracer has a girlfriend and she wouldn't cheat on her, you are a bad person!"
>>
>>2220381
They can just claim that Tracer is some poly-chick or something, you know that gives them a degree of protection over there
>>
So are there good pictures of Emily with Tracer now?

You know the kind that actually makes her look good and not remind you that she's got dry skin and ginger freckles that make your skin crawl?
>>
>>2220376
>We both know that just saying she preferred girls without backing it up with anything would've gone down way worse than this.
No? Hetfags would still be mad but everyone else would be free to keep up whatever they were doing.
>>
>>2220378
The fuck are you even on about.
Heroes having relations to each other isn't lore breaking.

>>2220385
That doesn't shield them from backslash from people who don't care and just hate the pairing.
>>
>>2220379
If she was actually part of Overwatch, that could have been a potential avenue, sure. But strictly speaking, that kind of buildup is more trouble than it's worth marketing wise. All you need to show to get the fuckton of free press is Tracer kissing her girlfriend, how exactly they got together is something only a minority of people are going to care about (that'd be us).

>>2220389
More ah, vocal supporters of the LBGTQ community would've immediately complained that Blizzard was taking the easiest possible way out of revealing a gay character by not actually showing anything gay. Giving Tracer a girlfriend appeases far more people than it pisses off, at least for now. As to the future, we will see.
>>

By that logic they should just forgoe any lore, because the average game doesn't give a shit about that at all.

>>2220397
That's right, it appeases a lot of people, having the poster girl be shown to kiss a girl in an official comic.
But if it never happened, I doubt there would be a lot of complaining.
Even in shipping circles, I dont think anyone expected this turn of events, people were expecting something subtle.
>>
>>2220402
>it doesn't take much in terms of creativity to make emily a non-issue to widowtracer, so i've been surprised by how much people think their fanworks are being completely invalidated.
Some people are just weak-willed like that.

>>
>>2220402
>it doesn't take much in terms of creativity to make emily a non-issue to widowtracer, so i've been surprised by how much people think their fanworks are being completely invalidated.
I mean yeah, you can easily break them up, but everything that was produced so far ? It never took her into account so it becomes an equivalent to an AU fiction.
And still, you are gonna get lots of people complaining "how dare you ruin a canon healthy relationship between two women with your toxic fantasies!" now. That's annoying.

>>2220409
You kidding right.
The fujos regularly throw a huge tantrum about McHanzo being "queerbaiting" by not being confirmed yet despite none of the official material before October even had them interact with each other at all.
>>
>>2220400
The average person playing this game absolutely doesn't, you're right. I played all day and few people even mentioned it. Generally speaking, the average person doesn't give a damn about anything outside the game itself. It's like how only around 10% of the player population bothers to keep up with balance patches.

That said, there's also an awful lot of people who DO care about this kind of thing, many of whom don't play the game at all. There's several in these very threads. If you read the publications that came out after the comic's release you'll note many of them indicate surprise that Blizzard's putting this kind of effort into expanding the lore of what is a relatively simplistic arena shooter, and the lore interests people who otherwise wouldn't care about this game. They could forgo the lore and just leave the characters as the stereotypes they are (and every single one of them is a stereotype, one of the main reasons people suspected Tracer walked down the left side of the street was because of her sporty tomboy look) but they're choosing not to.

>>2220405
I suspect you're correct, this was a pretty bold move on Blizzard's part. Seems like it's working out for them so far though.
>>
>>2220411
>I mean yeah, you can easily break them up, but everything that was produced so far ? It never took her into account so it becomes an equivalent to an AU fiction.
Which most Widowtracer fics are anyway by default because they break canon either way.

>And still, you are gonna get lots of people complaining "how dare you ruin a canon healthy relationship between two women with your toxic fantasies!" now. That's annoying.
I bet you those cunts probably ship Pharmercy because of how normal it is. Just deflect by "your ship's also dead in the water because you even have the lead story writer against you".
>>
>>2220409
>Bet you the fujos wouldn't care if McCree or Hanzo would have been shown straight in the comics.
it's different if the canon is also a slash ship. Then people expect you to jump ships because you should be thankful the canon was kind enough to give you a gay ship.

>>2220415
>one of the main reasons people suspected Tracer walked down the left side of the street was because of her sporty tomboy look
Not many of the casual audience actually did, that's Zarya.
>>
>>2220422
>I bet you those cunts probably ship Pharmercy because of how normal it is
Or you know they're fucking bandwagoners that latch onto something with the slightest edge while doing minimal research cause that hasn't before in the fandom
>>
>>2220433
>it's different if the canon is also a slash ship. Then people expect you to jump ships because you should be thankful the canon was kind enough to give you a gay ship.
Why?
No one expects some het-shipper to jump ship just because the chick in questions turns out to have a different boyfriend for example
If the pairing is shit and you don't like it then it being a lesbian ship still doesn't excuse it from being shit and unlikeable to you. That's not mutually exclusive.
>>
>>2220422
>Which most Widowtracer fics are anyway by default because they break canon either way.
Eh, I don't think that's what they are, most of them would just take what we know and expand from there.
There were some that had Tracer and Widow be lovers in the past completely ignoring Gerard, that's about the only type I'd say I read that would "break the canon"

>Just deflect by "your ship's also dead in the water because you even have the lead story writer against you".
Well I can't just bash another ship based on assumptions
>>
>>2220411
>And still, you are gonna get lots of people complaining "how dare you ruin a canon healthy relationship between two women with your toxic fantasies!" now. That's annoying.

those people are prey. they exist to be triggered and enjoyed.

>>2220433
>Not many of the casual audience actually did, that's Zarya.

x2, average overwatch player has terrible gaydar, and/or assumed that the poster girl wouldn't be gay, and probably still doesn't give a shit.
>>
>>2220433
As far as I know, which might not be that far, the more casual fans thought Zarya might be gay because of her everything, Tracer might because of the sporty "soft butch" look and Widow might because French basically.

Zarya will never be gay because of a combination of real world nonsense and character design and Widow at this point would be bisexual at best given her lingering feelings for Gerard. That leaves Tracer.
>>
>>2220440
That's logical and you are right, but there is a fuckton of het ships meanwhile not a lot of gay ships that are canon so when one happens the community becomes overjoyed and any naysayer is a public enemy
>>
>>2220442
>Well I can't just bash another ship based on assumptions

>This is regarding fujo pairings right? Why the hell should we emulate them?
No, they also do that with lesbian pairings on tumblr quite a lot.
>>
>>2220459
Yeah how come the character who was just introduced in one short comic doesn't have as much development as the one that starred in two animated shorts? I don't understand.
>>
>>2220468
Crazy thought here but what if we acted like reasonable people instead of like children. WT isn't suddenly dead in the water and anyone who considers that seriously probably doesn't have experience with shipping. This won't be the first pairing to have an obstacle and everyone should know it won't be the last
>>
>>2220473
They could made the character appear way earlier than the gay reveal for some actual quality build-up, you know. Even Korrasami didn't come that out of left field here
>>
>>2220475
Now you're just kicking up dust. Kindly leave
>>
>>2220474
Don't look at me. Look at tumblr, which creates most of the content
>>
>>2220474
Well, it's probably because I don't follow anime or manga at all, but this is the first time I've encountered this kind of obstacle to a pairing I was enjoying. I'm used to sudden het or "we're just friends teehee" obstacles, I'm not familiar with sudden canon girlfriends that admittedly make more sense than my preferred pairing.
>>
>>2220480
Of course it makes more sense if said character's only relevance so far is that of a satelite character in a pairing. And the worst part is that it's more likely than not gonna stay that way UNLESS Blizzard really decides to go with an animated series.
>>
>>2220476
He is right though, introducing a character in relation to another already established character as a surprise girlfriend is kinda icky and the Korrasami comparison works because to this day people write essays how it came out of nowhere and had no build up.
>>
>>2220484
On a scale of upset to furious are you miffed?
>>2220480
It's much more common in western media for supposed romantic MCs to be or get into a relationship that ultimately boils down to shaking the status quo slightly. Just view it as story potential and the like. Wouldn't be out of character for Wima to surveil Emily for Talon and find something out; like her cheating on Lena.
Now Amélie could then be conflicted. Does she tell Lena or blackmail Emily? You know I fanon Wima influences canon Wima. Both would possibly lead to a desirous outcome for Talon.
>>
>>2220487
>On a scale of upset to furious are you miffed?
Not at all. Just stating the fact that a normal girlfriend definitely makes more sense than the assassin trying to kill her.

It's scary how likely that could actually be, given that down the road Lena will be around the globe and not have any time for her girl.
Imagine it's Amelie seducing Emily just to screw with Lena
>>
>>2220493
Why do that when going to Lena in a rare moment of clarity, Amélie does some spiel about despite being on opposite sides Lena deserves better than a cheater. Thus fostering a bit of gratitude from Lena. Gratitude that'll bug her long after she breaks up with Emily.
>>
>>2220489
It's a superhero inspired universe full of genetically enhanced humans fighting against self aware machines over the humanity's right to exist, of course a romance with enemy assassin makes more sense that some generic ginger that escaped from some slife of life show.
>>
>>2220487
>>2220492

I apologize for giving you the wrong impression, I'm not distraught at all about Emily's appearance. I don't really get invested in ships honestly. I like the discussion and the art.

By making more sense I meant more along the lines of something like this. Late at night, when I close my door, turn the lights out, take the goggles off and lay down in my bed, pull the covers up and stare at my ceiling, I can admit to myself that while I enjoy several aspects of the WidowTracer pairing, it doesn't make much sense and requires a fair bit of OOC behavior to make it work. That's not a bad thing, but it does kind of bug me. So seeing Tracer in a presumably happy relationship with Emily just feels more right to me. They're both enjoying each other and there isn't any kind of mental gymnastics required to make sense of it. I prefer that.

All of this is just my own opinion of course. I know the more die hard shippers will consider me weak willed or something, but I guess I'm just older now. I'm glad Tracer's happy.
>>
>>2220411
>"how dare you ruin a canon healthy relationship between two women with your toxic fantasies!"
toxic relationships are usually the better written ones compared to the "boring, healthy ones".
>>
>>2220445

My gaydar predicted Tracer and based on Amelie's comments towards Lena and Mercy it also predicts Amelie is bi

>>
>>2220497
Eh, I wasn't really serious abou the spoiler, really.

>>2220499
I can't even think like that because Emily is only in a few panels so far. For me she doesn't even have a real character yet. For all we know she could've been a friend she occasionally fucks and it wouldn't change shit in that comic.
For me characters that actually have a developed relationship (good or ill) makes more sense, because there's some developement. Just saying "X has a girlfriend, here's the girlfriend" isn't really developement. It's an introduction, maybe.
>>
>>2220499
>but I guess I'm just older now
You don't need to act like you are just more mature than others for being fine with what they are giving you.

I never thought WT requires to be OOC to make work. It's not like enemies to lovers trope never happened in fiction before.

I can't wait until it gets ruined, relationships between characters should be a reward, not an out of nowhere filler to prove a point.
>>
>>2220499
Don't get a big head, though yes as of the current setting WT would always require some degree of ooc or au. Lord knows they won't advance it in a timely manner
>>
>>2220512
Hey Metzen what are you doing here?
>>
>>2220516
He's kinda right though. I'd rather see the character's struggle and then be rewarded by their mutual love for each other than just "here, they are in a relationship, be happy!"
A relationship is something you work for, hence why something like Widowtracer comes off as appealing because of the gigantic amount of work it would require. Would it be without pain for the characters? Hell no. But would it be worth in the end if it means that even a person like Amelie can shake off the conditioning and learn to forgive herself? Hell yeah.

That's also what so many anti-Widowtracer people don't get. Pairing them up is a bit more complex than "hurr durr toxic relationship!"

>>2220521

>>2220535
Feel free to cap and quote it to your hearts content. Might be of some use on a certain online community website.
>>
>>2220521
He's kinda right and God knows this topic has been discussed but there's immediately hating a character and using any excuse to justify it. Also like an anon mentioned earlier, everyone even Pharah has more background than Emily. Half of this feels like bitching because m-muh story. If Blizzard isn't somehow retarded and actually puts out a story about how they got together I'm sure they'll still be bitching about her.

You should also know those that so readily flipped were most likely bandwagon fucks that probably just liked tracer.
>>
>>2220543
Well I can only go with what he have so far. For all I know they develope Emily into a pretty good character later on. Like some anon mentioned above she could've worked for Overwatch in a non-combat role in the past and that would be interesting. To see some stuff from behind the scenes in that organization.
>>
>>2220543
Even if they give her flashbacks it will never erase the way they introduced her

Also excuse you Im the biggest Tracerfag on this website and this just feels wrong

You can't expect people to be happy with a pairing just because it's canon gay or straight. I mean, look at straight ships in other franchises, you'll always have Gwen fans and MJ fans. It's about characters not filling a quota.

I guess it could have been worse
It could have been an Emil instead
It could get worse in the future too.
If Widow kills Emily that would mean WT will never happen, right now they can always break up.

>You can't expect people to be happy with a pairing just because it's canon

There's nothing particularly offensive about it at this point that anyone should be UNhappy with, though. Unless anon is shipping Tracer so hard with another character that it upsets them to see her with someone else, but I find even that unlikely because there are multiple Tracer ships posted here regularly with little to no shitflinging.

Emily's simple, mundane introduction is rather fitting for what was supposed to just be a cute little Christmas comic. They were trying to show readers what Tracer was getting up to for the holidays, not tell a love story, you know?

I understand that people who were expecting a more fleshed out yuri romance would feel unsatisfied with what the comic delivered, but actively thinking it was poorly done seems like a bizarre reaction to me since we basically know nothing about their relationship either way except that it exists. There are lots of good relationships in fiction that are already established from the get-go; I don't see why this couldn't eventually become one of them if Blizz feels like writing about Emily more.

There is a difference between fans making up different scenarios to their liking that are all within the realm of possibility and canon material suddenly saying you "nope :)"

Besides, you are acting as if ship being fleshed out means it has to be liked when someone might just find their entire dynamic unappealing to begin with.
>>
>>2220664

canon is different than speculative fanart and will cause a much greater reaction.

but i agree entirely with your post.

i'm a wtfag 'till death and as far as i care tracer being a canon homo is a good thing and emily existing means a wt fanfic i'm writing gets a smidge longer. i'm still happy.

>canon is different than speculative fanart

Is it though?

Don't forget that the 'canon' is just Blizzard's version of some fictional events. We ascribe more value to the creator's version as if their fake story is somehow more real than other, derivative fake stories (fanfics, headcanon, etc) but fiction is fiction, and shipping a non-canon pairing is really just a matter of preferring one story over another.

It's really not.

There are even fan artists that produce better looking work than the official Blizzard hires. You can disregard canon all you want, because at the end of the day it's just one story among dozens of others.

>>2220694
I appreciate your viewpoint, but for me there is no question about this, when someone creates a universe, they are the masters of it. People can borrow and play within their universe as they please, but their word will never be as valuable as the actual gods' of it.

>There are even fan artists that produce better looking work than the official Blizzard hires. You can disregard canon all you want, because at the end of the day it's just one story among dozens of others.

i disregard the shit out of canon, but even if the one story out of dozens logic is sound, canon carries more weight in the community and it will continue to do so until the attitude that "canon is just another story" is prevalent.

i don't agree with canon being the same as the rest of the stories idea either, because fan work is derivative of canon. i understand that every community and person can create their own canon, but it has to start somewhere.

isn't there some big ass post on the internet that goes into the idea that headcanons are as valid as actual canon?
>>
>>2220683
Shipperfags are just buttmad because their headcanon ships have been proven wrong.
These are the sort of people who would have been more satisfied with Tracer's sexuality staying forever ambiguous and instead getting a tiny, blink-and-you-miss-it shipping tease with Widow, let's face it.
>>
>>2220713
Yeah because she either gets a generic ass love interest no one asked that didn't exist last month for or she stays sexually ambiguous forever, there was no other option and thus everyone is required to be happy with the first one.
>>
>>2220708
There is. It's pretty delusional, in my opinion. Like it or not, "canon" is what you base your headcanons on, it's the accumulation of all official stuff surrounding the story and the story itself. What creators add to the canon stays with it, unlike fan theories and such. It's like saying "rugs are just as important as foundation".
>>
>>2220719
Who the fuck cares if she's "generic"? Why does everyone have to have some deep, dramatic story or important role? She's a fucking normal civilian woman and there's nothing wrong with that. Hell, there's actually a lot RIGHT with that in terms of giving Tracer a worry-free home life. Stop wanting everything to be more than it needs to be.

I'm not saying that there's no other option, I am just stating that, if they had released a Christmas comic where Tracer just casually mentions Widow and/or viceversa with their sexuality never being stated, you would be celebrating instead of LITERALLY SHAKING.

>>2220723
I think the argument for Emily being boring or generic is that we have no investment in the character. She's replaceable and serves only to highlight that Tracer is the gay, that she has somewhere to go at the end of the day (a home), and that she has investment in her life beyond just running around and saving the world. In a game that is driven almost entirely by the characters, their relationships, personalities and backstories, Emily's introduction feels bland because she exists solely as a character development for Tracer, not as a character on her own. That being said, the comic was only 10 pages long, and she only shows up for, what 4 or 5 of them? Blizzard was limited in their introduction of her, and I don't think this'll be the last we see of Emily, or anyone else introduced in the comic (Pharah's father, Torb's litter and babymama, Reaper's family(?), Widowmaker's true feelings about Gerard, etc).

IMO I think it was a good reveal, though hamfisted, and we can only go up from here. I'm actually interested to see what Blizzard will do with the families of the characters and what kind of conflict is in store for them.
>>
>>2220735
>Pharah's father, Torb's litter and babymama, Reaper's family(?), Widowmaker's true feelings about Gerard, etc
To be fair, those are different. Emily is part of a Tracer-centric short. If she's a civilian, she's unlikely to appear anywhere else, unless we get something with Winston and Lena. All those other side-characters you named only made a brief appearance on one page, and will probably appear again in their own shorts (Reaper's family in Reaper's comics, Torb's family in Torb's comics, etc.)

Emily has nowhere to go now. She has no connections outside of Tracer and Winston, unless she's some sort of secret agent or something.
>>
>>2220743
Torb already had a comic, and I doubt his family is going to play any role in anything, they were nothing more than a nice background.
And as for Reaper, I doubt these guys were even his family, I saw it more like him watching a bunch of happy people from a sideline and being depressed he will never be a normal human like them again.
>>
>>2220748
>Torb already had a comic, and I doubt his family is going to play any role in anything
I assume they're going to split whatever they had ready for First Strike into shorter parts and release them. If they do that, his family might appear.

Unless they'd scrapped it already.
>>
>>2220751
First Strike was supposed to take place at the beginning of the Omnic Crisis and none of his kids look 30+ so I doubt they'd appear.
>>

I wish Overwatch had a fucking monthly comic issue at least or something that would progress the story because the campaign isn't happening anytime soon and apparently they cant even get their shit together to form a coherent lore for a one full volume book. So since they are making the story on the go they might as well update whatever they come up with regularly.
There were a bunch of comics and shorts at the beginning but now they only update their shit when a new character is releasing or publish some filler for events.
We are still stuck at Recall and nothing major happened since March, at this rate we won't learn anything new until 2020

Agreed. The comics are ten pages only, it wouldn't take much more effort or cash to release weekly comics updating us on everything the rest of the cast is doing. Guess they're too busy "balancing" e-sports.

Because it's the one pairing that is almost universally hated here because Mercy gets shipped with so many people.

>>2220886
Because for some fucking unworldly reason romantic relationships between playable characters are absolutely out of question in-canon according to Blizzard themselves, and Chu is being a hypocritical shit by pushing his OTP.

They aren't mad about hetero hints, we all know the majority of the cast is straight, and have made our various peace/reasons to ignore that. They're upset because it seems like Chu's tacit support of Gency makes the ship immune to Blizzard's infamous "No romances between heroes" rule that both renders every major ship impossible and guarantees any revealed love interests will piss off the established shipping fanbases.

It's literally illegal to have any sort of depiction of "deviant behavior" in Russia. Her look doesn't matter so much, her being gay absolutely would. Companies worry about shit like that.
>>
>>2220925
It isn't. It's illegal to show "gay propaganda"; how that propaganda defined is up to whoever wants to bump up his "popularity" in the anti-gay campaign.

For example, nobody burned down theaters that were showing Carol, despite it being explicitly gay and released after the whole anti-gay thing had started.
>>
>>2220925
>>2220926
Not to mention that they already have a gay character, Tracer. It's not like broody Russian policemen would look at her and say "Well, she's British, so we don't care. Now if they made that Zarya girl gay, we'd be mad". OW comes as a full package, with all characters included for all countries.
>>
>>2220926
Oh, well that's good to know. My point was that Zarya has dumb real life shit that has to be taken into account with regards to her sexuality. Was the comic being banned in Russia a move by Blizzard or Russia?
>>
>>2220923
the rumor come out
>>
>>2220931
It was probably Blizzard's decision not to fuck with retarded Russian laws. Perhaps because OW has 12+ rating there, and that combined with a gay character might trigger some people.
Amusingly enough, nothing's stopping me from going to the US version of the site and just reading it there. Don't even have to mask my IP or anything.

>Are you suggesting Widow does?
You stupid cunt! Okay that made me laugh but Widowmaker fucks like a guy without needing a dick anyway.

Though you're kinda right, you can fuck anything that moves in the OW universe. Sooner or later, there would be Bastionsexuals as well. Let Blizzard trigger us more!

Where did that even happen, where did they say that?
I do remember during Gamescom in August there was a streamer who jokingly asked if Sombra would be D.Va's girlfriend and the dev that was answering questions at the stream awkwardly said that they dont want to do romances between characters.
Also some time later I remember this issue being brought up somewhere. I think they said for now they don't want to do that but they can't say it will never happen in future.

Anyway what kind of rule is that? Why is it okay for randoms to be love interests but not other heroes ?
It's not like anything that happens in lore really has much influence on the actual game?
They think it would be weird if lovers were shooting at each other ?
They already said the matches arent canon. Besides how is Pharah shooting rockets at her mother or Winston frying Tracer more acceptable in that case ?
>>
>>2221073
>They already said the matches arent canon.
>Besides how is Pharah shooting rockets at her mother or Winston frying Tracer more acceptable in that case ?
Answered your own question, my dude.

Also, the tie-in game lore isn't the same as what happens IG. Tracer is still gay, even if there's 12 of her in a No Limits match
>>
>>2221077
No, my point was why can't there be romance between heroes? What's their reasoning for that? Clearly, it's not "because we don't want to put love interests against each other".
>>
>>2221080
Probably because they don't want to show favoritism or allow romance between heroes to eclipse the story.
>>
>>2220973
Sheesh stop blowing shit out of proportion.
>>
>>2221081
Favoritism in terms of what? shippers? Well that just went out the window, didn't it?
As for eclipsing the story, well it would be what they'd make it to be as they are the writers.
>>
>>2221081
Off topic but imagine if the next gay character be Janjo or McCru, yikes /y/ would surely explode and /vg/ be even more cancerous, flinging shit at each other lol.

>>

>>
>>2221093
Definitely but like that ever stopped them. /y/ shippers are the ultimate rabid type of shippers. Kaplan and the team should not mess with them.

Janjo or McCru aren't even seen together, yet there's an influx of fan content for them. What a time to be alive! Don't even count that single line between those two. It's only fortunate the two have similarities. I've read posts containing why some ship them and I am completely astounded.
>>
I'd honestly prefer romance between heroes than the heroes having some totally unrelated love interests that are completely irrelevant to the game and most likely story as a whole.
Even if that meant some people get mad. It's not like they didn't as is.
Now that I think about it, DvaMercy is my second fave ship, but if they made Pharmercy canon I don't think I'd mind at all.
If they made DivaTracer or something canon I also wouldn't mind too much.
I think the entire problem is not because they put an obstacle before a pairing I like but the fact it's in a form of a nobody that came out of nowhere and will also get maybe one in game reference in a form of dialogue and maybe appear in some holiday comic next year.
>>
>>2221080
Clearly they lack the competence to make them believable and satisfying.
>>
>>2221102
I know, Ive seen them accusing Blizzard of queerbaiting despite the two not even talking in game.
Don't get why they latched on Hanzo/McCree and not Genji/McCree. At least Ganja and McCuck have history of working together.
McHanzo must be the most popular crack ship Ive ever seen.
>>
>>2221103
I don't think ANYONE would pick the latter if given the choice. Well, maybe some people obsessed with imaginary characters having "healthy" boring relationships. Seriously, what the hell, stop treating them like real people.
>>
>>2221109
>>2221107
Perhaps it's because they think Hanzo is a more attractive match since he's broody and McCree's a smartass.

It was a ship born purely out of people thinking they look good together. /u/ is no better in that regard, D.Va/Mercy is the crackship here.

I'd wager Lena not having a stable/long relationship given her lifestyle.

Just saying that you shouldn't consider her "safe" because of speculations about her priorities and some real world statistics.

Yeah like lots of people. Especially from the eastern side, they love that shit. I love Elsanna so I can't judge anyone tho
>>
>>2221174
We have no idea what Tracer's lifestyle even is though. Up until this comic we didn't even have a hint as to what she did "off the clock".

I don't know. It seems like a lot of people want Blizzard to develop Emily more, and a lot of people basically want to forget about her aside from a yearly "she still exists guys honest" comic appearance.
>>
>>2221186
Well if Emily isn't a part of Overwatch then that's the only way she can make appearances unless she gets kidnapped or something
>>
>>2221186
Her occupation is an adventurer.

Guilty as charged.

Well we know she was in OW for the most part of her adult life, we know that
>Since Overwatch's dissolution, Tracer has continued to right wrongs and fight the good fight wherever the opportunity presents itself.
One of her lines says she was all over the world already.
She was also one of the first to answer Winston's call
>>
>>2221194
>she was all over the world
What if Tracer have-had girlfriends all-over the world then? Head canons commence!
>>
>>2221196
What if Tracer still has girlfriends in like every country
>>
>>2221172
Nah because they can't make her into a hero and they cant kill her either

I mean she's already fullfilled her role of being a plot device created to reveal Tracer's sexuality so now that that's done it would be nice if she moved so Tracer can develop relationships with characters I'm actually gonna see because they are relevant to the lore, yeah.
>>
>>2221227
Look, I just want them in a consensual, non batshit yandere relationship.

You may have to write one yourself if you wanna keep it a yandere one, cause 95% of authors go down the 'redemption route' with her.

>>
>>2221318
Science or medical team?
They could have met when Tracer was still bound to the chamber and started talking, or when during a mission Tracer got careless and had to be patched up back at base by her.
You thought Winston and Mercy were only Science/Medical personal Overwatch had?
>>
>>2221323
Well look at it this way: either Blizzard will develope her and thus she isn't a literally who anymore or they won't and the fandom will slowly start to ignore her and it's back to the usual for Tracer ships.
>>
>>2221316
Being obliged to like a certain pairing just because it's gay is more fucked up. I mean, shit, I have tons of /u/ canon ships that I dislike.

>>2221327
Oh, it's definitely gonna be option two.
>>
>>2221325
Could be. That's a pretty decent fic if you ask me. I like the first one better. Mercy can always to that for her, the medical stuff. So I'll go with the brilliant nerdy redhead trope. Tracer seem to have a thing for intelligent ones as well, who has a genius gorilla as a bestfriend to begin with?

Why do people keep drawing Emily as the shorter one? She's like half a head taller than Tracer at the very least.
>>
>>2221318
fucking kek'd

>>2221316
I'm happy she is gay. I'm not happy she has some no name bland stitched to her.
It's like when a show or a book series has plenty of characters with chemistry and nice dynamics but for some goddamn reason it goes to pair up the characters with generic unrelated blands.
But I guess that fits well with OW being inspired by superhero stories, that shit happens in comics a lot.
>>
>>2221569
More importantly, who gives a shit?
>>
>>2221589
What classic comeback and intelligent insights!
>>
>>2221569
you know why. Tracer has short hair so she is seen as the man of the relationship, and men are supposed to be taller and bigger.
>>
>>2221217
Is this done in reference to Emily existing? Or is it an older piece?
>>
>>2221696
the former
>>
>>2221696
Ciazfah doesn't care about Emily and just wanted to draw some light S/M

I wonder if Blizzard will have the balls to make Emily an undercover Talon agent in the future. Like not a brainwashed one, just a regular agent for them that has been sent to infiltrate Overwatch after Recall happened. And for once the agent not falling for their target would be even better.
>>
>>2221708
* I meant Emily (the agent) not falling for Lena (the target).
>>
>>2221708
>>2221710
>Gee muh angst.
>>
Can't say I'm not kinda miffed about Emily, but if you look at this with a clear head, it's not that damning of a twist.
Tracer is extremely extroverted and has a status akin to a celebrity in game's world, and while I always assumed she is entirely devoted to being a hero and adventuring with no time for stuff like relationships, I guess it's really not that weird she would be seeing someone. That doesn't mean Emily has to be the end game for her. Even assuming it's a long term relationship, people change, find they have different priorities and break up. And we don't even know if she isn't just a fling of the month for Lena who is actually a giant slut.
And most importantly, their only choice now is
a)use Emily in the on going story. Considering she has no role other than being a love interest, that will lead to her being caught up into some drama, since stable relationships, especially ones that were introduced as such, that add nothing are kinda useless when your are writing an action/adventure story.
b) forget about her, in which case she is gonna stay nothing more than a tool to announce character's sexuality, which isn't too hot of an option for anyone.

In regards, to WidowTracer, well even if they truly decided Lena is a lesbian since the beginning, I'm fairly positive Emily didn't exist in their mind until recently. At the same time, no matter how hard you try, you can't deny Alive was full of intentional subtext. They also obviously know what people ship and I've seen them talking/joking about WT before, usually when it comes to community fanwork they are really happy and supportive . So I find it hard to believe their intention out of nowhere was to single out and kill a ship they themselves created and encouraged.
I guess there's really nothing to do but wait and see, hopefully they have something interesting planned.
>>
>>2221708
Why would they need balls to do it tho.
But yeah that would be a more interesting plot development than her being kidnapped/killed/used against Lena/her staying a nobody.
>>
>>2221736
>interesting plot development
Not... really? Obviously it's subjective, but I find it boring when literally every character in the setting is some sort of vigilante/undercover agent/edgelord/ex-hero, presumed dead.
>>
>>2221708
I want her to be revealed as an Overwatch agent or someone who helps them in some way while staying in a happy relationship with Lena .

There aren't any undercover agents in the settings so far.
>>
>>2221758
Technically, all OW agents are undercover since they can't work out in the open.
>>
So from what I see 99% of the Asian side completely ignored the whole Emily thing
>>
>>2221762
Good since majority of the good fanart comes from them.
>>
>>2221761
I mean neither Winston nor Tracer acted really undercover when they trashed the entire Numbani museum while being recorded and shown in news all over the world.
It's more like, their actions aren't officially recognized and overlooked by any organization but they aren't exactly hiding the fact it's them and they are doing stuff. And seeing as Tracer is blinking happily all over London they also arent living in hiding as people.

But anyway, what I meant was, so far we don't have any characters who were revealed to not be what initially assumed they are
>>
>>2221766
Well, Torbjorn was revealed as a goddamn sex machine, so there's that.
And Pharah is half-canuckle.
>>
So...
Any fics about seemingly happy with her life Tracer suddenly becoming confused after the sudden re-appearance of her ex love Amelie that she thought she got over long ago but actually didn't especially when her ex love keeps fucking with her head which leads to her becoming obsessed with getting Amelie back on the right side while lying to herself about her own true intentions all the while growing sexually frustrated and emotionally distant to her current girlfriend?

Or is it too soon.

>>2221774
No.

Sounds like you should write it yourself.

Temporary feelings towards a person are not part of someone's character, thus that wouldn't be "OOC" in the first place.
Of course it's not like you know how strong are Tracer's feelings towards that girl anyway.

>>2221812
I didn't imply either, although since we don't have any material to conclude either way, we don't know if lying and cheating would be something Tracer would never do at the moment.

So far in the story Tracer has been shown to be a good, honest and loyal person. She wouldn't cheat on someone who clearly makes her happy and that's Emily right now.

So, go full out of character for them then. Which is what you're trying to do to Tracer.
>>
>>2221828
>Good people can become lost, confused with their own feelings and make mistakes.
True but that's not accurate for Tracer's character thus far in the story. There's nothing that can set her on the wrong path from what we know so far. You do know that she didn't really love Amelie in the past right? We don't even know for sure if she knew her before she became Widowmaker.
>>
>>2221831
No? Making mistakes and having flaws is a human experience, that doesn't make anyone a bad person.

>>2221832
...it was a premise for a fanfiction, obviously I know there is no information so far on whether she knew Amelie in the past and what she thought of her.
But I disagree with your assumption that her being portrayed as brave and with a sense of justice so far means she must be void of any character flaws and could never do any wrong. No good character and definitely no living person is purely black or white.

We hit the image limit, genius. This isn't /vg/, we need one.
>>
>>2221836
If Tracer had show the capability to fuck up, lie and betray, that wouldn't have been OOC. But she hadn't.

We aren't talking about what's human and what isn't. We're talking about what's "in character" for certain characters and what isn't. It's human for people to change, for example. But some characters are written in the way where change isn't a possibility for them. It's human for people to do bad things. Some characters are written in a way that they don't do bad things.
