ok. ok i love tracer. first not-traditionally feminine lesbian ive ever seen in any popular media like, ever! as a lesbian, and as a BUTCH lesbian, it’s…
disappointing! you can tell this was designed by a straight person. because this looks like someone fused junkrat and tracer, only to make this horrid abomination of god.
now, blizzard CAN make good tracer skins (but only one, and its slipstream, because there she looks like a proper lezzie,) but they come out with this. its sad. IM sad.
if you make a lesbian, blizzard, do NOT make a lesbian with a design catering towards straight men. and do NOT be afraid to make a butch lesbian look like a butch lesbian. because if youre going to push for a diverse game, MAKE a PROPERLY DIVERSE game! because, even though tracer is a lesbian, her design caters towards straight men. so its not for lesbians, even though she is one.
Honestly it is not about being a lesbian it just looks bad from most perspectives.
Like so little effort went into this.
But I love your post because people are assuming all kinds of reasons why no one likes it.
As a fellow gay myself, I agree it’s a sub-par skin.
I feel like the team is really trying to not design NEW skins, and just…change the patterns and recolor PIECES of them in new ways instead. Zen’s Carbon Fiber, Zarya’s Frosted, and even 76’s new skin are just the BASIC skin with different parts colored and one thing changed. Zen/Soldier got new eyes, Zarya got sleeves, and Tracer got new hair.
They’re trying to be creative, but it feels…lackluster.
GOD WHERE WOULD I START… my guide on making a proper lesbian. no butch wears tight pants. you dont need tight pants to be fast. look @ the scout from tf2! and usually belts. the jacket is good and can in fact stay. usually i find myself keeping my hair really short / get a mens cut? always squared off in the back unless it starts growing out. bc rn tracers got like. a pixie cut. which looks, no offense 2 hets, very very het.
n its disappointing when i think that were gonna get like, a character thats a lesbian, but instead of a design catering towards lesbians we get a design that caters towards straight men (like emphasis on the butt.)
As a fellow LGBT person, You are literally demanding they reinforce unhealthy stereotypes.
That’s ridiculous and hypocritical. Seriously. Lesbians can only look “Butch?” Are you kidding me right now? No no no no. There are lesbians that look like Tracer, lesbians that look like Zarya, lesbians that look like Mercy, Widow, Sombra, and some lesbians even look like Roadhog.
It’s absolutely insane that you claim to be a lesbian but are also demanding that blizzard reinforce stereotypes because you make the assumption that you know what straight men like. You’re claiming to know what ALL LESBIANS are like or like to look at. That’s insane.
This kind of nonsense is why we as LGBT people are not taken seriously.
