Blizzard just released an Overwatch comic which revealed that Tracer is in a relationship with a woman. Some real good schadenfreude with nerds exploding in rage on the official Overwatch forums.

The gay character is white and attractive

Shocker

It really only ever could have been Tracer, Mercy or McCree.
Not intersectional enough.

Not gonna lie, that was kinda my first thought. I've never played Overwatch and only know the characters through people I follow on twitter but Tracer being gay is like the least surprising option there is. I honestly thought she already was.

Their biggest thing was Tracer x Widowmaker, but now that she's in a relationship with a woman, it's a bad thing? I don't get nerds.

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Actually making a character official gay is seen as "giving in to the SJWs." "Gamers" as a social identity have, since the publication of stuff like Feminist Frequency, decided that SJWs and feminists are trying to take away their right to have male power fantasies and ogle sex objects. Blizzard making a character gay is, therefore, a betrayal of their trust and customer loyalty.

You are the first crack in the sheer face of god. From you it will spread.
The people on the Blizzard forums have been dumbasses for a long time. These are the same people that bitched about early D3 screenshots as being "to colorful" and "not dark enough" and "not the Diablo we know!!!1!" So Blizzard made those happy-go-lucky rainbow levels, just to gently caress with them.

They're probably also mad that she's in a relationship with a new character and not in an incestuous 3 way with existing characters like in their fanfictions.

The EC is poo poo and needs to be redone. I'd prefer popular vote so that people as a whole are more likely to vote since it will actually matter.

Abolish the electoral college, abolish first-past-the-post voting, abolish the popular vote, replace it all with a pseudo-parliamentary system where electors vote only for their representative and the president is elected directly by the members of the combined houses of congress.

Basically grab the Canadian system but keep a cumulative 8-year presidential term limit.

Reminded of the care assistant that was fired after recording herself doing strip tease poo poo with her phone while performing care for a dementia patient (trying to find it just brings up similar examples outside of the UK which...is even more depressing). Like, what the hell are you thinking trying to pull that off? What is going through your head? :psyduck:

I'd be happier if they revealed that the two characters most popular with the segment of insecure players who'd project themselves onto a video game character are in a torrid no holds barred gay as hell relationship. And reinforce it with steamy cut scenes.

No, I want my system to elect governments. Abolish voting, and replace it with a live streamed, month long game of spin the bottle. Who ever lasts the longest and gets the most kisses gets to hold the nukes. Runner up gets 7 minutes in heaven, and the vice presidency.

The best thing, the comic is actually pretty good.

A solid standard Christmas story, with a minor miracle, lot's of families, a casino robbery and casual alcoholism.

Bog standard.

Well yeah, the fandom is nothing but 'some guys' going on about the cast and all the gay sex they're totally having.
