Mei lusts only for murder.

I'd say that Torbjorn is the most likely contented for incel but the comic shut that down hard, so I'm going to have to settle for Reaper.

I'm still confused why this is even relevant for a fps character. Like, doom marine doesn't even have a name, let alone a fetish, but the game was still good. I don't think my experience of shooting rockets at the cyberdemon untill it died would have been improved by mr doom having an intricate personal background

The name is Doom Slayer and the fetish, well...

Have any of the characters come out as trans-ethnic yet? I'm pretty sure Genji is a AWAB (assigned white at birth) who is trans-Japanese.

They explored this important aspect of doom guy's personality in one of the sequels, H-Doom.

There's a tiny group of people that are still upset with Blizzard because they believe Tracer is sexualized for straight men. Basically a group of people that are never happy and get all of their buzzwords like "male gaze" (pro tip, this isn't a real thing) from Tumblr.

Which I don't get, because I assume lesbians like boobs and butts and stuff too. Is there some weird assumption that women are only attracted to women that men wouldn't be? Or is this just an excuse that they were somehow tricked into being attracted to someone that wouldn't be interested in them if they were, y'know, not a video game character.

It's made to be tiny because otherwise it would offend the male gaze. It all makes sense!

Yes, but like all gaze attacks it allows a fairly easy dexterity saving throw to negate.
