And that is sums up my entire thought process on this. Well done.Remus said:Ya know, this seems like the exact pose Tracer would choose after this controversy. "uhh, so the pose is too sexy? Well how about THIS one?"
Favorite reason for the change.meirol said:Nah see, her leg is raised up real high! So now your 8 year old daughter can't imitate that pose and think that's how all girls should be like! Because children have shit balance!Jack O said:This is almost exactly the same pose only now she's raised her leg....what changed exactly?
Problem solved
It was a huge PR stunt.Neverhoodian said:The cynical part of me feels like this was just a big PR stunt, and they played us all like fiddles. Well played, Blizzard.

If you read Jeff Kaplan's second post, it wasn't due to over-sexualization in the first place. They simply weren't happy with the pose, and had another one ready to go. This is, of course, if you believe that this was the only reason.Neverhoodian said:Hmmmm...
*Attempts pose*
Whoa-whoa-WHOOOOAAAA!
Jesus, I can't hold that for more than a few seconds.
So Blizzard removes the old pose because they claim it over-sexualized Tracer...only to replace it with one straight out of a World War II pin-up? The cynical part of me feels like this was just a big PR stunt, and they played us all like fiddles. Well played, Blizzard.
im pretty sure of that too. maybe once the game is out, some of these guys will find something to pick on. maybe black widow or widow maker will be next for showing too much cleavage.Parasondox said:So are we done then? Finished with the non-controversy? Done with the "CENSORSHIP" cobble, "SJW" rabble nonsense?
It was just a pose. A picture. Something Blizzard can edit, change and lie about all they wish.
Nah, who am I kidding. Someone will still write a length and unneeded post about something or whatever.
Blizzard could have handled the initial posts on the forum a million times better. They made it sound like they were bending to the dad who let's his 8-year old daughter play a T rated game and wants it to not have T themes. They also made it sound like a sexy pose wasn't strong or heroic due to the woman having a body which should actually have offended everyone without the context the new pose provides.Parasondox said:So are we done then?
