[Gaming] Overwatch (#boycottblizz)

my wife's reaction: "I thought guys liked lesbians."
Guys* have fantasies about being with a particular woman character.
Guys have fantasies about two lesbian characters being together.
However, these guys do not have fantasies about their particular woman character suddenly ditching them to be with another woman. That's not cool, and they just stare at a little framed picture with tears going down their cheeks mumbling, "Let's try that again" over and over.

They only like faux lesbians, who know, the ones that they feel any minute they can join in because they are actually just straight pornstars / friends / aliens, turning into a hot threesome with him as the center of attention.

I've never had trouble identifying with lesbians while playing Overwatch; I don't see the problem.[DOUBLEPOST=1482291690,1482291655][/DOUBLEPOST]
And the official twitter confirms, the rugrats are Torb's.

"My baby!"
 
Is it just me, or do all of Torbjorn's quotes take on a whole other meaning now...

"He he, I'd rather be the hammer, then the nail."

"Again, and again!"

"Whoops, did I leave that there?"

"I'm giving it all I've got!"

"Leave this to an expert"

"He he, Any chance you'd let me peek under the hood of your mech?" <DVA: Hey! Hands off!>

"I told you. The size of hammer doesn't matter." <when you kill someone near an ally Reinhardt>

"I was wondering... If I could have a look at your little robot? <Mei: I guess, just keep that hammer to yourself.>

Torbjorn for the kinkiest little murder dwarf.
 
@stienman: if you go back to the mid-bottom of last page, you'll see a Christmas comic about Overwatch linked, with a bit more background on some of the characters. As you can read here, as well, it turns out one of the guys has some 9-ish kids running around. Which, of course, is Your Thing.
 
Honestly I hate the people that say Blizzard is being "political". SEXUAL ORIENTATION ISN'T POLITICAL! The only reason it has any basis in politics is because asshole like you (the people complaining, not you specifically!) keep trying to keep gay marriage banned. Having a gay character in the game isn't automatically a political move, it's just a character trait.

Next we'll learn Ana is left-handed, and there'll be open WAR.
 
So, some people noticed that on the monitor behind Pharah in the latest comic, it shows the Canadian flag and a hockey game, likely implying that whoever she is having dinner with, they are in Canada.

This lead them to take a closer look at Pharah's Native American legendary skins, and they noticed that the totem styles heavily match the styles of the Métis, a native tribe of Canada.

So if we assume the person at the dinner table is her actual father who she is meeting in Canada, she might be half-Egyptian, and technically half-Canadian Native. It also explains why Blizzard was bold enough to give an assumed full Egyptian woman native American styling. It wasn't stupidity or thoughtlessness, it was because she is likely mixed race and half native.

Of course, assuming my Reinhardt theory is totally incorrect. ;)

Someone at Blizzard said they did those skins because they looked cool and didn't want to remove them because of that and because players had earned them. So either there were those at Blizzard unaware of the lore who still supported it, or they came up with a lore reason later.

Also, she can think someone's her dad without it being her biological father :p.

Probably the latter, this might even be a big reason why they scrapped the First Strike graphic novel, because they said they were taking the lore a different direction after thinking it over, and it makes sense since Pharah's father would have likely appeared in it. They realized they had a "out" card with the whole native american angle by just changing it last minute to her being half native. Though this is all hearsay till we get more confirmation in future stories.
