General Discussion

But I can if I want to, and if you cut it and prepare it in the right ways it makes the salad taste better for everyone.

Doesnt really matter. I have been suspended for making a post about how we need another dwarf hero (clearly poking fun and making fun of the bisexual/lgbt/gay posts) a while back and got suspended.

Yeah you can, but everyone will be people who like tomato in there fruit salad, aka, the minority. Sexaulity really isnt important for this game. Lore isnt super important either. When someone asks for lore, they dont want to hear that hanzo and mccree went into a bar once. They want to hear that maybe mccree is a double agent for talon. something actually interesting.

your trolling just as much.

Anyways sorry for derailing but it was just such a golden opportunity. I’d say she gives off strong bi vibes, she definitely has the same style of self assured confidence as a lot of bi girls I’ve met and yeah with that skin it would be a nice little tie in. While you don’t have to be LGBT to have her side or pixie cut they are common among LGBT girls, certainly. It’d feel very natural if she were one of the other lgbt heroes Chu talked about

Let’s hope Chu confirms something soon!

There are no hints of her (or any other non-confirmed relationship hero) sexuality and dressing with the same colors of a flag is not really a reason for her to be like that.

If you think that character-wise she displayed something related to it then it would be a more solid discussion, otherwise this is just a “who do you want to be LGBTQ+” thread.

ohhh my GODDD. I wish posts like this can get off the forums already. Seriously.

Hey, OP, there is a megathread here for these kinds of posts, you’re welcome to post in there (and the regulars are friendly).

People tend to get ornery when there are more than one of these kinds of threads active at any one time, as you can probably see.

Good meme, dosent change my thoughts about this pointless post though.

107

The mercy threads are chill tho let’s keep making those

Eh, well the color purple wasn’t created by the LGBT community. They just adopted it as their flag. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Those last 2 are the keywords.

Sombra is obsessed with power and is very ambitious. So, given the research that went into Moira (Just look up her name.), it wouldn’t be hard to believe that they used purple for Sombra’s colors to represent those as her defining traits.

So with that knowledge, it kind of changes how you would think about this topic… Now, this is about to get heavy, so trigger warning ahead…

Trigger warning...It would make MORE sense that Sombra is homophobic. She is obsessed with power, and she uses the information against people. She was ready to reveal that Katya volskya was getting her tech from the Omnics, and would have ruined her reputation gladly had she declined her offer of friendship. So, considering being gay or bi is such a controversial topic, it would make sense that she'd either hide it entirely so that nobody would ever be able to find out (Assuming she IS bi.) or she would avoid relationships entirely. It wouldn't make sense for her ever to date in the first place, because she wants to be invisible. Live by her own rules. A relationship would muddle everything up. Not to mention it ever being used against her, would destroy her confident nature.

Now, this doesn’t reflect my beliefs, as I don’t let political arguments cloud my judgment, and I judge every person on a case to case basis, but it’s just something to think about in this friendly discussion. And thanks for bringing this to my attention, because were it not for you, I would have never decided to look into this and it is very interesting.

See ya around!

Betcha people will still try to pass off their disdain in the name of “spam” though. Two threads. Whooo boy that’s some spam

Also, how does somebody liking there same gender concern the lore at all? Seems like more of a character trait if anything.

111

Except it doesn’t, because no overwatch hero is going to be a homophobe. Bit of a reach there bucko

Character traits are lore. More lore than whether or not Genji still has his dick or not. Like seriously.
