How come Tracer’s victory pose (The one that was removed because it was sexualized in some way) was changed to a lesser sexual victory pose, yet you turn the corner and go straight to Widowmaker’s over the shoulder pose and it’s almost just as bad.
I want something changed as this is just stupid, you either remove all sexualized poses or you keep them all. You shouldn’t give another hero with different ethnicities and beliefs a sexualized pose while the other doesn’t have one. People would think that as racism (I don’t but probably many do) and that’s the issue.
I wouldn’t even mind if Tracers old victory pose was still here to be honest ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Widow sexually identifies as French which makes this okay

I would say that Widow has the whole “BlackWidow” aesthetic.

True, I mean why else would she be called 'Widow’maker
Oh please. They changed said Tracer pose to the literal pin-up.

They didn’t change it because it was sexualised. They changed it to better suit her personality as the initial pose did nothing of the sort.

It’s the only vanilla victory pose she has that is worthwhile. That and the event ones (wine glass, hanging upside down, fan) are all great. She looks stupid in everything else.

Didn’t this happen like 3 years ago?
also, tracer’s replacement pose looks way better than the controversial one IMO

If you’d actually bother to look up the post that was brought to attention and made them change it, then you’d know that what you said wasn’t the case.
People really like to blame SJWs for everything nowadays.

No, old pose is better, and we’re talking about Widowmaker’s over the shoulder pose.
They changed it because it didn’t match Tracer’s personality.

How doesn’t it, she’s smiling and looks like she was having a blast, and it has just as much of a tie to Tracer as Widowmaker’s victory pose is to Widowmaker
Although I didn’t understand the getting rid of Tracer’s old pose, I see that the logic behind it that it didn’t fit her personality. Widow having one does fit her personality though, I’d say leave well enough alone.

Tracer has a mischievous smile in her victory pose which represents her, I mean c’mon she even says stuff like “Cheeky”. Play on words if you know what I mean
Tracer’s pose was just plain bad.
That’s the bottom-line. It was a really badly designed, cringey pose.
The one they changed it to is hardly less sexualized in my opinion. It’s just better.

Tracer was not a femme fatale character but received a sexualized pose as mascot.
Widow IS a femme fatale character and has a sexualized pose because her character literally oozes that character archetype and trope.

Since when? Widowmaker is supposed to be the Sniper in Overwatch, who has no remorse for killing and supposedly doesn’t miss a shot.
