LGBT in Overwatch Mega(y)thread šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ

Bastion already has an archives Epic skin depicting him as an ā€œevilā€ omnic. Plus, his Anniversary Transformers one is also very similar to the silhouette. Bastionā€™s rolling in skins, like Mei, for some unknown reason. Itā€™s soooooooooooo annoying.

But anyways that 76 skinā€¦ gay legendā€¦

Canā€™t believe I have to read with my own two eyes someone dissing Orisa.

:frowning:

Jokes aside, I just think her design has so many opportunities for creative skins but we donā€™t get much. I guess because itā€™s difficult to keep her on model and her model is unique in every way but still.

Yeah I love me some creative skins like DOG and CAT

It is easier to come up with ideas for skins for Orisa than Bastion, Iā€™ll say that much. But Bastion remains the best omnic.

We shall settle this dispute with a noble duel at noon.

To be fair, yeah, I agree that Bastion skins arenā€™t easy to keep interesting and diverse. Especially since the whole transformation aspect of him.

I wouldnā€™t really call it a cliffhanger.
Itā€™s ended. Jack seems to have given up on romance, same as Ana.
And Iā€™ve already said this, but itā€™s not really powerful. There have been plenty of masculine gay characters before.
Powerful would be having a character be gay on screen. Like Rein, Hanzo or Baptiste having a partner.
If Torb can have a wife and like 8 kids, Rein could have a husband.

Absolutely, I really look forward to not getting it and instead getting the Torb skin again.

Really happy with Jackā€™s skin.

I wanted SEP Jack, but this works fine too. Iā€™m just glad we can see his face.

This always happens to me for some reason. I always get Torb legendaries in my boxes instead of the actual skins I want lol.

someone mentions Hanzo, perfect opportunity to talk about Hanzo

As much as Iā€™d like that for Hanzo, I also think he needs time to settle his thoughts and mental wellbeing. Iā€™d love for him to first reconcile with Genji and get some friends. Heā€™s just in such a state in his life that I wouldnā€™t want to shove a partner on him and call it a day (and itā€™s also why Iā€™m so extra nitpicky and whiny about my own otp ship). Iā€™d want to see him ultimately happy, but realistically, he needs a lot more time and space than Overwatch lore has. It would be nice for us to know if heā€™s gay/bi (I selfishly want him to be bi) but other than that, I just think the dude needs time. First and foremost because of Genji. I want them to work things out first and for Hanzo to move away from his self-deprecation and get some friends and acquaintances.

Thatā€™s fair, I was more thinking along the lines of having him be depicted in a relationship after he reconciles with his past.
McCree and Baptiste might be better candidates for depicting a relationship right now.

Hanzo was actually my preference too. I mightā€™ve misinterpreted what Casual Hanzo actually means in lore but to me, it felt like he was maturing as a person and being who he really was.

I just wish we got more handsome older Jack skins. Older Jack (and older Ana) are my preferences. I would love some really slick uniforms for them.

Iā€™d kill for a Spec-Ops kind of skin for Ana.

Older Jack and Ana where we can see their faces, please

Maybe D.Va skin coming soon if Bastionā€™s Gwishin skin is related to Busan?

2 skins left, one of them is Ashe. Iā€™m still hoping for a Genji skin!

One skin left which is most likely Ashe. RIP to Genji or D.Va skin possibility.

Wow! I hate it! Thanks for giving an underpowered character that almost no one uses yet another skin over D.Va, Blizz! And related to her lore, too!

The Zarya skin is good at least. Love the two tone hair

fun fact. the 3 epic skins appear to be references to Monte Carlo, Monaco, where Maximilien runs a casino and apparently lives.

Tracer on a bike, thatā€™s cool. But everything else about that trailerā€¦ yeah Iā€™m not really hype. It felt super cheap lmao.
