Seriously, this is starting to become somewhat annoying to me. And no, before anyone asks, I’m not a Pharah/Mercy shipper - but every time I see a topic asking for “official Gency” now, I just cringe.
I don’t like this pairing, and I feel like myself and others who don’t like this pairing have the right to see lore relating to these characters as separate individuals instead of being forced to see what IMO seems a cheesy, poorly-written romance.
Lol don’t lie.
Then you need to be re-educated on the definition of a “right.”
Within the span of three years, the Genji and Mercy stuff has amounted to a few subtle lines of dialogue and a letter scene that can be interpreted in multiple ways, yet you call it forced? This is not about either character’s lore; it’s just you not getting your way with whatever shipping fanfictions you came up with.
I dont understand this whole cutscene showing some romantic connection all i see are soldiers on a mission Genji is pulled to safety by the teams air support a fellow soldier there was no dialogue or hug after to show show anything other then a proffesional relationship or at most friendship between fellow soldiers
When Genji is resurrected by her, she banters with him and asks him out to dinner.
Which, by the way, is only a suggestion of a relationship and can still be interpreted as friendly rather than romantic.
Exactly all i see is friendship and nothing more now not saying people cant think more then that i just dont understand how they are seeing it
Because usually if you buy a woman dinner, it’s for a date. She ain’t splittin the bill lol.
Personally, if there’s something I wouldn’t say or do with someone’s girlfriend or wife, I interpret it as potentially romantic. I would not ask someone’s girlfriend to dinner. If I did, I’d probably get a no. That doesn’t mean this is romantic, but it’s definitely suggestive.
Thats the problem with society today everyone is so insecure they jump to conclusions without evidence my gf has had many dinners and lunches with guy friends people need to grow up dinner between friends is just that, Dinner
See, I gotta disagree with you there. That’s how it always starts. Your gf could have 98 platonic dinners with guy friends and be perfectly fine, but then there’s that 99th guy she just has amazing chemistry with and starts to fall for.
Imo, it’s just asking for trouble. There’s no reason I ever need to go to dinner alone with someone else’s girlfriend or wife unless we’re talking business.
Insecurity breeds distrust, distrust breed lack of proper intimacy thus pushing your partener way which leads to them falling for soneone else, i go on dinners and lunches with female friends, there is no difference i trust her she trust me thats how healthy relationships are
Well if that works for the both of you, keep on. It still seems tasteless to me to ask out someone’s girlfriend to dinner. Breakfast or Lunch, maybe, but dinner? It might be silly when you think about it, but dinner definitely has more romantic connotations. They’d have to be a long-time best friend for me to do that.
One panel on a spread featuring 20 panels and a redacted voiceline isn’t subtle, it’s a one off.
Also not everyone that is against your ship is a pharmercy Stan.
I don’t know what “redacted” voice line you’re referring to, but it is subtle. It’s the definition of subtle.
I don’t “ship.” My point is that the only people who keep making topics about how bad it is and force these ridiculous narratives are shippers, primarily Pharmercy. You’ll see me defending it simply because 1. Genji is my guy and he and Mercy work well together and 2. I hate the entitlement and nonsense spewing from these people’s mouths every time these two have suggestive interactions. I’m tired of seeing it and you’re wasting your breathe. No amount of crying and whining from a vocal minority will change anything.
Claim made, please provide source.
And which vocal minority would that be exactly? Be warned, you better have a source to back it up 
You know this kind of rampant speculation would have happened no matter what, right? I mean, if Genji looked at Mercy for too long, people would have been like, “They’re so in love!”
But that’s what fans do, and what a storyline is supposed to encourage, speculation. My problem isn’t with that, so much as 1: there needs to be a LOT more story in this game, in game too, not just in comics and shorts, and 2: The story needs to matter more to this game, not once a year during an event.
The fact of the matter is, no one else cares that much
The majority is made up of:
A. Primarily people who don’t care one way or the other.
B. Secondarily people who think the pairing is fine and are not trying to push some ridiculous agenda against it.
C. Tertiarily people who actively ship Genji and Mercy
The people whining about this are no kind of majority under any interpretation, and they should be ignored. They’re made up of A. Rabid shippers and B. People who find it “disturbing” because they can’t separate fiction from reality and create these false, nonsense narratives for the situation.
I don’t see any source 
Nope not here either.
Strange, guess you were lying
So you’re like. Not allowed to have friendships and hang out with other people at all?
I don’t go to dinner alone with other people’s girlfriends/wives, no. There’s zero reason for me to do that.
But what if you genuinely like them and want to hang out? Like you both love Star Wars, for example. Does it have to immediately imply a romantic interest?
I understand “dinners” traditionally are a romantic thing reserved for dates, so it could raise eyebrows, but like… just hang out?
I mean…aside from asking her to dinner alone, which I would never do, I feel like I would have to have known the girl a pretty long time to be comfortable hanging out with her alone. Or at the very least, we’d have to have already been friends before she was dating anyone. Otherwise, I really can’t see that going anywhere good. Just seems weird to me.
