Yeah, D.Va could have such an interesting story but theyâve just completely ignored her⌠itâs so sadâŚ
Ah, like flashbacks? That could work.
It starts with Lucio in the present on a vigilante mission, does an extended flashback of growing up in a favela, seeing his dad be slighted by Vishkar, and later stealing back the tech. Then it goes back to the present just in time for the mission to be a success and Lucio to narrate with something like âitâs all worth itâ or something deep. Hire me blizzard

YES! Blizzard please
I donât care who an Overwatch hero likes to have emotional or sexual intercourse with. I donât even think a single hero has been confirmed as actually heterosexual, but only having partners of the opposite gender. I wouldnât get very hyped to know what gender someoneâs partner is, or what preferences they have. I find it natural. Itâs just the fact that people make a big deal about it that pisses me off. Why would you be more or less happy to know their sexuality? Because you can relate to them in another way? I donât see that.
Donât get me wrong. Iâm not trying to dismiss anything, just giving my own two cents as I have the right to do so. Doesnât matter what category you want to put me in.

This should be able to help you understand what representation is about for many of us.
We understand Blizzard will come about it organically, but that doesnât mean they wonât listen to us on specific things regarding said aspects of their character.
Edit: Above, I also hinted at my own experiences of acceptance as someone that is bisexual, and I have very similar reason for why I would like it, but Iâm not going to demand it, and nor is anyone else doing so.

This thread and the people who are in it trying to make fun of the lgbt community are seriously harboring issues.

Yes, homophobes do make a big deal about sexuality. That is why we make a big deal about it, and our struggles that stem from homophobic behavior.
Just because you find it natural (which it is), and harbor no ill-intent towards LGBT, this opinion isnât widespread globally. While it would be wonderful to live in a society where LGBT is thought as natural and normal, with no homophobia in sight, we do not live in that world, and thatâs why LGBT is loud, as they should be.
Representation is a tool to get to the goal of normalized LGBT, a world where threads like these donât need to happen, and where your post doesnât need to happen, where my post doesnât need to happen. A world where posts about ââ we need representation ââ are as weird as ââ you donât need representation. ââ But if you think we are anywhere near that kind of a world, idk what to tell you. And if you think to get to that world LGBT should keep silent and quiet and ââ wait ââ for the majority to accept us, then thatâs pretty dumb as well.

Iâm a trans male so I know all about that. I just donât agree with the representation thing. Not at all. Same goes for many others in the community. Theyâre just, not as loud as the people who want it. I just hate the fact that people always assume everyone in the LGBT thinks the same and have the same views on life an society.
You know, Iâd relate much more to a cis male than a trans person. Thatâs just how I feel.

I knew people would assume I wasnât a part of the LGBT. I donât think it should change my argument, but I am. I donât like the representation thing. I donât want to be sliced into different categories. Iâm just a guy, who happened to have a genetic condition called gender dysphoria, but that doesnât change anything at all. Thatâs just my two cents.

Exactly, you just are. Why canât characters in media just be gay or trans and for it to be just normal or regular?

I would like Blizzard to avoid including sexuality of any kind into this game. Itâs unnecessary and cheap, and will be so no matter how well it is done.
Really not into the idea of a game I enjoy from a developer I have loved since my childhood turning into sexual diversity exposition, especially when this topic has no place in the game to begin with.
Itâs too late now for no sexuality at all. And i donât just mean tracer; Widow, Torb, Brigitte, Pharah, and Ana all have story elements related to sexuality

Being someoneâs child has something to do with sexuality. Is that what you mean? 
I understand what you are trying to say, itâs just that the idea behind it is ⌠just bizzareâŚ
It is too late.
However they came out specificly to say Tracer was a Lesbian after the demands from the LGBT community.
The comic/story elements wasnât enough, they needed it fully confirmed with a label slapped on.
They need to do the same for straight heroes if they want to go down that path.
and because of pressure they did it wrong
This again?
Again, if you are so concerned about Chu confirming heroes as straight I will take you to task on it. Ask him.

I agree they did it wrong.
Well, the kind of people they did it for LOVES labels. Of course they had to give it a label.
You are not a person if you donât have one, silly.
Iâm not a person? all my lifeâŚI have lived a lie 
I guess Iâll just be a Giraffe now.
PS: Giraffes are awesomeâŚ
