that doesnt mean he’s not gay tho?
Is Soldier still gay?
I hope!
Not gonna lie, I think Blizzard will be deliberately avoiding any deeper attention to Soldier’s sexuality because of their market share in homophobic countries (China, Russia). Though I might be proven wrong. I do hope I’d be proven wrong because companies being LGBT+ friendly just because it benefits them in certain situations is icky af. Unfortunately that’s what I expect from them and have seen from them but it’s still icky.
Yeah yeah, nay-sayers are always gonna harp about how “all u gays or whatnot want extra attention without base” but like, that’s not what I’m commenting here. I understand certain relationships might be more plot relevant but I’m just saying: I wouldn’t be surprised at all if gay male relationships were ignored altogether cuz they have no market value. I mean, straight males may find lesbians hot so as far as companies go there’s no audience for m/m relationships in an FPS . They just tease it when it benefits them (“We are such an inclusive company!”) and then ignore it.
Your Mccarthyism is showing. Chinese I kinda understand, even movie industries pander to that demographic since they have such a huge economic impact, but Russians?
Russia literally has passed laws not allowing “lgbt propaganda”
Ok, that is pretty awful, but I am pretty sure Russia is hardly a factor in their business practices. Like where is the evidence that Blizzard is going crazy over the Russian demographic. I agree with the Chinese market since Blizzard has censored bones in World of Warcraft for the Chinese players.

why
It’s a cultural thing. It’s called localization and it’s an absolutely normal practice for games and movies.
Why’s it being avoided, what’s your theory, let’s hear it?
I thought Reyes/reaper was that guy with Jack when they were like together as a Gay Couple or different?
It always made more sense to me that Jack Morrison would make a gay couple with Gabriel Reyes, given their strong partnership while in Overwatch.
Yea and also why would Reyes/Reaper hate his Guts after that Overwatch Fight Blow out. Would it be a emotional event that they were lovers at the time before the Fight that scared both of them?
At some point it would make some sense.
Men can be friends without being romantically linked.
I thankfully know that!
