They will also support inclusiveness when it suits their wallet.
I mean, I am thinking in Russia as well…
Either that or it would be banned/removed; the results would be the same. Y’all trying too hard.
- forcing physical diversity is stupid.
- blizzard has no control over this, you fool.

Same in Russia and countries where homosexuality is literally illegal.
You guys are trying too hard, please don’t hurt yourself doing this.
I think its homosexuality propaganda among underages is illegal.
OW is a 12+ game.
10 IQ is not noticing that Blizzard called out Russia for this but for sOmE mYsTeRiOuS rEaSoN didn’t make the same big fuss about their Chinese handlers.
The reason why they made most characters male and straight in the majority of video games is also for money.
Or they created many hot females in video games, and recently adding more hot males to attract female gamers. It’s all about advertising.
People like to play what represent them or what attract them, they’ll flock into it. It’s not just about LGBT.
However, LGBT is controversial. It split the community, so it is still a risk for them to add that in. I’ll give them that.
This is why you guys have to stop trying to look at companies for your moral guide.
Why does Blizzard make Soldier 76 gay in the US/EU markets? Because it is financially conducive for them.
Why do they not do the same thing in your list of countries? Because it would hurt them financially.
Companies think in $$. Stop being fooled by them.
This phrase sounds funny to me. Does this thing exist and are there studies on conversion rates?
I’d hope for Pharah for my own selfish purposes but honestly I don’t think they have the guts to make an Arab Muslim character gay.
Oh, I know that. It’s the rest here that’s so naïve.
Homosexuality is not illegal in Russia. Only “propaganda of homosexual values to minors”, i. e. for telling kids it’s okay to be LGBT.
Yeah! Blizzard should just wiggle their finger and tell China how to run their government! /s
Seems pretty straight to me.

You clearly haven’t seen all the fan art with window when the game first came out then.

Excuse me? The America I live does not do these things on a government level
Money over everything rears its face again
what are you talking about?! People knows Tracer and S76 are gay in China, and both the comic and short novel was fully translated with no censorship. Yes, the comic was eventually forced to take down due to the notorious censorship rule published in early 2017, but it was not only Blizzard got hit. Around that time countless LGBT content and forums were took down by the government so I definitely don’t blame them. However you could still find the full comic now easily on other Chinese website, influding netease. And Blizzard still translated the short novel later on without any censorship. Plz people, do some research before accusation, and stop spreading baseless fact.
