No, I wouldnāt require that, UNLESS they have already planned something like that.
I just want gay/mlm dudes being happy, maaanggg. They have a happy gay couple, but they have yet to show it, and probably never will. Hurts my heart.

This is also funny to me because had Jack been a gay stereotype, they wouldāve complained about that too.

itās at a point where theyāll complain no matter what happens and disguise it as concern. āwhy does it matter?ā is becoming the biggest red flag for someone who doesnt care even if they knew or bothered to find out.

Also - I wonder, do they realise that by using the word āpander,ā they are literally being homophobic since that in itself implies immorality?

Also, āpanderingā is a part of the media anyway. Like, every product is aimed at a certain audience and thereās some amount of pandering to that audience. Itās normal!
But of course, itās only bad if the gay people are being pandered too. Or non-white people or women.
And with Overwatch, they pander to everyone. No one will convince me Widowmakerās design wasnāt there to pander to a specific audience that wants scantily clad female characters. And since Overwatch is diverse and has other characters dressed differently, I donāt even mind it.
So the whole āpanderingā argument is very telling. You know exactly what kind of people youāre dealing with when that word is used but only for LGBT content.

you guys hear about the hero head on temple of anubis? possibly hero 30? itās the head of a concept hero, i know that for a fact. maybe just an easter egg based on the concept art.

I have a hard time caring tbh lol. Iāll get hype when the actual teasers start rolling in. Iām going to assume, for now, that the new hero is something in relation to whatever Soldier and Ana are doing now.
i hope blizzard took that hype a while back for a greco-roman themed hero to note for a future heroā¦i also hope they didnt take that hype and turn it into brigitte.
Iām hoping for a support dude but itās most likely a tank. Hopefully a fun tank though. A sexy tankā¦

it was a good looking design, even if it was turned into mercy, it would be a shame to waste the base design of the guy.
Maybe they can make him Vincentās husband cough cough. I know, I know, I should just let it go
honestly we need one of eachā¦a new tank and a new supportā¦and a new male support at that.
dude is huge thoughā¦support tank? could be interesting. hopefully something more than nothing and hopefully something that isnāt immediately useless because of the current ptr changes.
i read somewhere the head was in like an early beta in the same spot.

Iāve actually come up with a support tank idea! I did it some time ago and always need fine tuning but, I wonāt bore you all with the details. (Unless you really want them, lol)
Tbf, echo was originally athenaās concept art, so its possible itās a similar caseā¦but IDK. Easter eggs are always likely ^^
