I dont understand why the sexuality of a fictional character even matters? How is that relevant to the game? Does it make any difference to her character than before the reveal?
People are idiots.

Overwatch Tracer got revealed as a lesbian. Violence ensued.

Err...In metroid's case it was more that the writers for Other M went against everything that the character was already established to be, including the game that Other M was supposed to be a prequel to, even outright making in-your-face contradictions (Ie, "As someone who dislikes following orders, this is the second time I've had to do so" VS "Taking orders from Adam again, it filled me with exhilaration").Aiddon said:
It would be like making Sonic secretly a Machiavellian authoritarian dictator instead of his established ADD-ridden reckless fun seeking self. It would be like making mario an evil kidnapping sorcerer who turned bowser's wife into the Princess so he could do terrible things to her and pull her strings to rule the kingdom. It just wouldn't fit at all.
If you're going to make a character completely break established character, you'd better have a damn good reason for it, and Other M completely did not.
I'm always up for a little forum drama, so looking forward to giving the blizz forums a good read later on.
I'm still of the opinion Tracer makes a rather good choice for a lesbian character (though i still maintain pharah x mercy as my OTP), so i find it hard to believe people are somewhat surprised by this. Zarya would have been a horrible choice for an outed gay character imo, oh she's a butch woman, so she HAS to be gay, eugh.

XD It doesn't, that's just my interpretation of the cannon. TOutcast107 said:Quick question...Where does it say that the blonde hair chick is Reinhardt's wife? It been stated that all the kids there are Torbs so I don't see how Reinharts a cuck...DudeistBelieve said:You can punch bikers in the fact and still get off to your wife cheating on ya.undeadsuitor said:well, last time we saw Reinhardt he was traveling around the county punching bikers with a younger womanDudeistBelieve said:I love how no one is focusing on the fact that Reinhart is a cuck, and that's why he's in the same home as Torb and the woman.... who is not Torb's wife btw but Reinharts. She's a hot wife.undeadsuitor said:
maybe they have an open relationship
Human sexuality is a very complex, uh uh it might not be such a simple, uh... ya know?
*shrugs* maybe I'll be slightly more aggravated when fighting against her, but I'll be too afraid to express that aggravation for fear of coming across homophobic....CritialGaming said:
Nah. lol it's not like it's Mei... ohhh the anger and hate I have in my heart when fighting against Meis.
It will be nothing compared to the reactions to a male gay outing. I wonder if Blizzard are just testing the water for this though. Comics have a habit of leading to stranger shores.
Oh my god, that was beautiful. Thank you, you wonderful man, for sharing such a delightful video.Zhukov said:
The salt, it must flow!
There's a rule i think, that states if your harem has more than 5 waifus one of them HAS to be into girls. Yeah, almost sure that's a rule...
No reason to act surprised.

The amount of salt from these idiots is amazing, or it would be if it wasn't so embarassing. Out of 23 playable characters ONE is confirmed to be gay and you're up in arms about it? Fuck off.
That's brilliant, I've got to use that one sometime.Zhukov said:
To be fair its true. It doesn't necessarily mean she's gay...she could be bisexual after all, I've not seen anything explicitly ruling that out. That being said I don't think that'll improve things much for the homophobes. ^_^Blitsie said:
I almost googled "magical lesbians" for a moment then. Probably best not.
Anyway I'm very amused by all of this. Tracer is my favourite Overwatch character, the two of them are pretty adorable, and the absolute war going on on the Overwatch forums is highly amusing. So positives for me almost all round.
The only bad side I've seen is its brought those people out of the woodwork who are cheering because they hate certain pairings and throwing hatred at those who liked them. Which is...kinda depressing that people would rejoice in other people being a bit sad over their preferred pairing not being canon. How empty does your life have to be that you take pleasure from other people being sad over something that doesn't effect you in the slightest?
Apparently developers making a character gay makes them hipsters by default.hanselthecaretaker said:
Why was it important to provide that level of characterization in a team based shooter game? What, does she get a buff when she's recently looked at Widowmaker's ass or something? How does character sexuality even matter in that game?
Seems more like Blizzard saying "Oh, look at us we're being inclusive!" while actually meaning "Let's whip the simpletons into a frenzy for more free press!"

I was playing Overwatch last night and one guy started every game he was in by saying:
"So, just so you know, they made Tracer a lesbian. Now I don't have a problem with it, but don't you think there's some sort of agenda going on?"
Sure guy. I believe you.
Every. Game.
I'm not sure if this is my favorite direction for the character, because I liked her sexuality not being brought into the mix (Whichever way it swung), but eh. The story's shit anyways.

Why is it important to know that Genji and the other Japanese character are brothers? Do they get a buff if they recently worked with each other? Why is it important to know that Widowmaker gets off on killing? Does the player get an orgasm transmitted through the controller for every kill she gets? Why does it matter that Winston is an idealist, who took his name from the scientist that raised him, and wants to genuinely save the world and make it a better place? Why does it matter that Soldier 76 and Reaper have a history and are rivals, I could go on and on with every other character detail that's been published that has nothing to do with the game. And yet, nobody seems to be bothered by all that "extra, unnecessary data", but someone's sexuality is declared? All bets are off it seems.BoogieManFL said:
