Isnāt that enough?
Anyhow imo i donāt think we need constant posts on this since well it violates CoC.
So likeā¦ Blizz just add the icon 
No deal because I donāt need specific groups of people endorsed by my video games.

Why is a videogame NOT the place for it? If you have a neutral unbigotted stance (Iām not assuming you do), then who does it hurt? Heck, if labor and resonances is the problem, Iāll whip up a png for then in illustrator right now for free. Methinks some groups of people just donāt like gay people.

Do you mean to tell me that your stated desire for cheese farmer and vegan representation were made in bad faith as a method to deny people from having a rainbow icon? Shocking!

Thatās like saying being black is controversial.
Its fully legal and given by nature, just like a skin color.
Again, being LGBT+ has nothing to do with politics.
That is not what happened, look at fortnite, they removed all police cars and MANY companies made statements.
That already shows you that overwatch supports lgbt, thus your ācontroversial argumentā is useless.
Donāt you think thatās crazy? To call us an enemy?

Good idea advertising your own ancient thread in another thread with a completely different topic. That will make people definitely look into your topic!

ā¦ To be fairā¦ you canāt really make this statement AND ask for an LGBT profile icon.
Everyone, EVERYONE, is going to know what it stands for. At this point the rainbow literally is the icon for the movement and group.
How would you feel if the company made the icon available but NOT in these countries due to the possibility of being banned?
For all itās ease of implementations, making the icon is a stance and choosing to put it in the game is going to have financial and political repercussions for the company.

I want atheistic representation in game. I donāt choose to be an atheist. I have no choice given the āevidenceā (lack thereof).
Not any more of a bad faith argument than āWhy not have one if it doesnāt hurt you?ā
Reaper is an atheist
No. Actually. Putting up hurdles you donāt believe in purely to be an obstacle is far more of a bad faith argument than that question, which is actually fair.
You need a pretty good argument as to why something shouldnāt be done when it has few downsides, has significant upsides, and costs little resources.

Theyāre still drinking the cultural kool-aid and giving it more importance than it should have.
This is a matter of opinion, though. I see it exactly the opposite way. I think the disconnect here is that there are those who believe a cause that they see as an absolute good should of course be supported by all. There a lots of things I believe in, too, but would never expect active support from others for even if I believe them to also be absolutely good.
Also, consider the in-game behavior you can expect internet randos to direct at anyone with an LGBT icon. People think toxicity is bad now? Blizzard would have to hire an entire team just to shift through reports for hate speech. Do you genuinely believe that icon would create more positive interactions than negative ones in a PvP game?
