Stop assuming things. Thanks.

Also, consider the in-game behavior you can expect internet randos to direct at anyone with an LGBT icon

That’s not an argument.

League of legends has it, too and toxicity did not increase + its an easy bann because homophobic slurs are against the CoC.

@Goldlantern-1543

This is a matter of opinion

So this is the HUGE downside that makes all the pros invalide? Nice try.

@Goldlantern-1543

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

But it’s a neutral rainbow icon.
And again, there are LGBT heroes, thus overwatch already supports lgbt

@Reith-1609

I want atheistic representation in game. I don’t choose to be an atheist. I have no choice given the “evidence” (lack thereof)

As I mentioned in my thread.

You are allowed to make your own thread if you want an atheist icon. There is no need to bring that up here.

You clearly came to a lgbt thread and said " i want atheistic representation." And also mentioned the lack of “evidence”
So you where
A- saying lgbt doesn’t matter if religion doesn’t matter
B- bringing religion discussions that would end up in war in a lgbt thread
C- saying lgbt shouldn’t get things if religion doesn’t.

what ever the answer is. one thing is true.
It’s that you clearly are not respecting the theme and objective of op’s post And bringing malevolent intent to it.

[VenusArmani-1354]

Except even if you don’t agree with something, seeing an icon of it doesn’t hurt you. There are not a lot of downsides, no matter how you slice it. And a lot of folks choose to disagree with bad faith arguments because they cannot actually articulate any real harm caused.

[KillerQueen-21171]

I legit don’t know what happened , i used to use rainbows a lot , and out of nowhere they are now lgbt symbols that can’t be in a game because human opinions.

like wtf it’s a rainbow, it can be used to represent lgbt , but in the end of the day it’s a rainbow.

@Goldlantern-1543

That you are/support LBGT?

Yes, exactly.

@Goldlantern-1543

What if vegans want people to know they’re vegans?

This is a dumb comparison. LGBTQ+ is no where intense as those who are vegans.

@Goldlantern-1543

Why is a video game the place for that?

Because a lot of people meet their friends on these games who identify the same way. You don’t have a group you associate yourself with?

OP Isn’t asking for really too much here.

[VenusArmani-1354]

Out of nowhere? How old are you? 80?

[Briggy-11506]

Rainbow aesthetics are really nostalgic to me

Tough for Blizzard I would imagine… they would have to make it regional, as some countries wouldn’t allow it.

On top of that, they have to worry about people being targeted for using it.

There’s no good reason you shouldn’t be able to express that if you can express the flag of your country in this game already, but this is the crap world we live in.

[Thrillho-11204]

It’s literally just an icon of a rainbow.

[Topazthespaz-1183]

Love that there is still all this inane rage over people wanting to have a simple rainbow icon in a video game.

Seriously if OWL has one then OW should have one as well. Really should not be an issue to anyone at all.

[Dysvalence-1915]

I nominate this one

A player icon request

Normally I don’t do these, but this icon: exists has been plastered all over twitter shows up every few minutes on OWL broadcast It’s so omnipresent in official OW social media that being unable to use it ingame is a noticeable omission. Here it is: [OWL pride] Even has the ™ on it. I’ll be honest, I prefer the individual teams’ takes on it more, but that’s 20 different icons, not that I’d complain if they were all added. What really bothers me is that there’s none at all ingame when the…

[Topazthespaz-1183]

I think that would actually be a fairly decent icon for them to use, and it wouldn’t really cost them anything extra to design it. Just add it in the game.

So you know what use the OWL pride icon.

[Doombunny-1636]

Pride month is over. Try again next year.

[SupermanDJ-11502]

Omg calm down. Smite has a rainbow icon and theres no controversy so why can’t overwatch do it?

Lgbt people have all the rights as anyone , how tf are they oppressed … , first world problems are something else

I want LGBT representation in game.

Fixed the sentence for you for you.

Lgbt people have all the rights as anyone

3 weeks ago, the right fo fire somebody due to being LGBT got removed in America.

[BlueMonkey-21650]

… When did they do this?

@VenusArmani-1354

Reaper is an atheist

More like satanic/emo If you ask me lol

First of all, atheisms is a result of searching for answers and It’s a decision you make by yourself when you “believe” there is no maker. And your worlds don’t sound like worlds that would come from a real atheist because usually they are educated people and won’t make such a stupide mistake by mixing between ideology and a case of biological diversity

To OP: I’m all for it

That law will only make it harder for them to be hired in the first place. You think of why companies rather not hire LGBT now.
