the annoying thing is itâs going to rile them up anyway. -any- gay character riles them up. the idea is âdont force itâ but thatâs on their own judgement if its forced in the first place. theyre never going to accept a gay character and always excuse it as unnatural.

I hope gency remains a background hint or whatever and thatâs it. I wouldnât mind it honestly, they have enough material to do what they like in fanon now. Stuff between playable characters could easily be handled that way (though no doubt that straight pairings will get more obvious hints always).

all we can do is hope they dont do something that makes people act like they did when ashe first came out. they were way too happy to go after gay ships.

Still having war flashbacks to that.

Yeah, it was ridiculous. For so many reasons. Iâm glad Chu shut that down. It does make you wonder what their relationship was if they werent lovers or exes, though. And if it wasnt love from either party, what could Mccree mean by âtypeâ when he talks to Ashe. Partners?

Considering they were both teenagers at the time, itâs really difficult to tell. And I also donât really think itâs too important, again, mostly because they were teens and knew each other for 2-3 years max. Theyâre both changed people now, McCree especially. Whatever confused teen thoughts they mightâve had, itâs long gone and hardly relevant.
I find it more interesting to explore the dynamics of two teens who basically ran away from home and were in desperate search of some substitute for family and Deadlock was that family for them. Itâs honestly such a rarely explored topic, especially between men and women, of families falling apart and the difficulties that come with families where people arenât actually related.

also an interesting age difference as well between them.

Yep. It may not seem like much, but at the time, itâs definitely substantial. Especially considering Ashe came with money and power. I can imagine younger, more impressionable teen McCree being intrigued by that and deciding to go into serious crime (because as much as McCree âintroducedâ Ashe to crime by being a local ruffian, Ashe clearly says that McCree âwouldâve still been on that farmâ if not for her ambition. So obviously, it was her who made the push to serious criminal activity that altered the course of McCreeâs life. Really wish we knew more about McCreeâs past, like, imagine if we learned more about McCree in the McCree animated short. /still bitter)

Oh same actually. Iâm just whatever when the new updates come. I believe Iâm going to have that kind of feeling for a while as the series doesnât deviate too much.
Iâve actually been playing FFXIV and Iâm having a lot of fun with the new expansion.

I just hope the new hero is Mauga and thatâs about it. Other than that, I havenât been playing much. Last season I finally got to diamond and got placed in diamond this season, but both my duo and I are already too lazy to continue so decay will get us.
Instead, Iâve mostly been playing Monster Hunter World and Minecraft. Yeah. My SO never played Minecraft and we wanted something chill because theyâve been having some anxiety episodes so now weâre basically playing Minecraft all day.
In a nutshell:
- Summer Games is coming next, and it will include a mini challenge thing for each week, and if you do them, you will get an epic skin (which is different for each week of the event if I understood correctly? Idk, weâll see)
- Hero 31 is confirmed to be male, Jeff explicitly says HE. HE will be here later than usual but still soonish, and the only explanation for why he is coming later is because ââ the extra time we put into developing him will make him that much better ââ or something like that.
- Something about improving subtitles
- Something about improving cheat detection
- Also mentions more developers updates to come soon, which might just means Summer Games nonsense update

They are not going to release a new hero during the event, so itâll probably be a month until we see the new hero. Literally ZZZZZZzzzZzzzzzzzâing over here Blizzard. Nobody cares about your cruddy dumb dumb event thatâs going to be nothing new or fun, with meh waifu skins and awkward male skins.

the weekly challenge might finally get me back into itâŚhard to say. Im tired of being yelled at for my hero choices. and Ive gotten so used to warframe controls it would be like starting overwatch all over again, lol.

I wish they would fix the sensitivity glitch though.
The only thing that might salvage this butthurt if they pair the hero release with an animated short. Theyâve always released an animated short in August, which seems to be when the new hero gets released as well.

I know itâs not going to happen, but⌠Iâd really like to see a summer skin for Pharah. I really want a skin for her where she isnât stuck in her suit! PLEASE! 
I know it wonât happen⌠she got a spacesuit AND an epic last event, but I can dreamâŚ
On the LGBT Topic though:
Iâd love confirmation that Pharah is gay. I just canât picture her with a man and take it seriously. But I can easily see her with a woman!
But also honestly at this point I want story for her, even if they make her straight, I just want to see her
