Yeah, that was a thing. That was indicative of what kind of audience Overwatch was attracting.
For new players, look it up.
Psa: I’m indifferent on it and don’t mind either. Just pointing out that people have been very emotionally invested on Overwatch characters since the Beta days. Call it a preview of what were to come years later.
You offended, love??
I still miss the pose, and I wasn’t even there to see the original in game
The beta one you talking about?
Yeah, it was pathetic, but that minority of the community probably left by now.
Yup. A bunch of people crying because Blizzard changed the pose from one pinup pose to another pinup pose that better suited the character. Because heaven forbid Overwatch stay true to it’s design principles and fix mistakes during a beta.

Yeah, more people were ‘offended’ by crappy news websites misreporting about the situation and why the pose was changed than were actually offended by the pose itself.
Widowmaker is in the game - they aint censoring butts.
Also, this thread is bait.
I didn’t really see the news sites misreporting being the main offense. The main thing I saw, and I did see the actual thread, was people complaining that Blizzard “censorship” because they modified their own product during a beta period.
Edit
And oh and personal attacks against the parent who complained about it’s parenting style.
Literally one person complained about it… one. To start, then someone at Blizz got sensitive, and it went downhill from there. Given how over-sexualized Western culture is its frankly about the dumbest thing ever to get on about.

Fun
The pose was goofy looking and not subtle. I get why they removed it. Shes not cammy
Help! Help! I’m being repressed!
I bet you complained about tracers pose
“As your King I demand that you shut-up!”
They don’t call it Buttwatch for nothing.
“Alright, we let the red team have the payload, and then when I give the signal, we all jump out and attack!”
Or should it be a giant cardboard meka because it’s more like a rabbit?
Nice spin. They were very happy drawing from the inspiration of pinup posters, but they got scared of it being “sexist” because one person commented on it. They literally deviated away from their design on this, it was an internal “concern”. It was in keeping directly with the pinup girl posters from WW II and a copy of one. People get too wound up over such things.
Heaven forbid Blizz didn’t cave to every twit that comes along with a criticism.
Don’t you hate it when chat censors 'Your grandfather smelled of elderberries"
