They did not mention Mercy, only Pharah
Mercy + Genji has way more weight because they had a valentine’s dating sim minigame together
in addition to voiceline interactions about sharing chocolate gifts years back

Pharah was confirmed Lesbian, but the dialogue made it sound like she was only friends with Mercy. It sounded as though while she wanted to be more than friends with Mercy, for an undisclosed reason, they are not together and that Mercy seemed to view her more as a friendly colleague than a lover.

Fortunately, no. They are only friends.

Pharah Mercy and Genji Mercy
neither are canon.
They’re just canonically friends on both sides at the moment since literally nothing has been said about their love lives, other than teases that Mercy “has her eye on someone else” when Baptiste hits on her. But, she doesn’t say who.

Then yes, Pharmercy is canon

There was no mention of her dating Mercy. Which is why I do not care in the slightest. Pharmercy or riot, get that Gency crap outta here.

That’s unnecessary
Genji and Mercy makes more sense.

Gency and everything that supports it exists because of Micheal Chu being a Gency fan.

If mercy has a ounce of sense she won’t choose either though.
She can do better.

Nein i already have serious doubts about him and Ingrid.
Oh no. We’re too late! The Pharmercy shippers found this post! The entire thread must be purged! #Gency4lyfe
Why are we restricting romantic relationships to couples?
Polyamorous relationships exist.

there were lots of hints on ph or other sides that pharah might be lesbian.
Nothing is canon. Possibly nothing will ever be canon. There is, however, a lot cooking right now.
HERE IS THE EVIDENCE:
It is confirmed that Pharah is lesbian, and that she has strong feelings for Mercy, but it’s not made explicit that those feelings are romantic.
Mercy’s sexuality is not given. It is not clear who she is attracted to. However, in a spawn interaction with Bap, she does state that she “has someone in mind” and that she hopes to have news “very soon.”
A spawn interaction added with the OW2 release shows them flirting in spawn. OW2 also added several voice lines indicating that they particularly enjoy working together, and Mercy adorably copies some of Pharah’s best lines.
They do have a canon longstanding friendship, which goes back to when they were both teens, and they do care a lot about each other. OW1 interactions show them talking about fairly intimate subjects. Pharah also expresses that being able to fight alongside Mercy was a dream of hers, while Mercy tries doggedly to convince Pharah that she should be proud of herself.
Legend has it that several current creative developers, who are themselves queer, have been pushing hard for this content for quite a while.
Legend also has it that the voice actresses also ship it.
By comparison, HERE IS THE EVIDENCE FOR GENCY:
A panel of a comic showed Mercy reading a letter from Genji, proving that they do in fact communicate outside of work.
It is mentioned that they exchange chocolates around Valentines Day. This is a Japanese tradition that is practiced by couples… but is also practiced by friends and even just coworkers. It does, however, show that Mercy took time to engage with Genji’s cultural traditions.
Mercy is the doctor who provided Genji with his cybernetic body. Not only did they work together as Overwatch agents, but they also presumably spent a lot of time together as doctor and patient.
Several of Genji’s voice lines seem like he’s quite passionate about her. Mercy, on the other hand, seems to like Genji and care for him, but not significantly more than she cares for any other patient. In fact, her low health voiceline for Genji is just Mercy being exasperated at Genji needing healing so often.
Legend has it Micheal Chu pushed really hard for this pairing (Genji is his self-insert after all) much to the displeasure of the rest of the writing team. Michael Chu is not here any more, and since he left, evidence supporting their romance has significantly tapered off.
There is an unofficial sim game made by an outside studio in which Genji and Mercy can be seduced. To be clear, they fall in love with the player, not with each other. Blizzard also made it clear that this game was for fun and wasn’t meant to be canon.
For Artificial, THE EVIDENCE FOR GENCY:
Genji ran off to some sort of gay robot commune to “study” with Zenyatta for several years. Plus Zenyatta is smoking hot and has all the rizz so if Genji didn’t fall for him, I have to agree with Zarya that he isn’t human.
And, THE EVIDENCE FOR SIGMERCY:
They had lunch together years ago, and Mercy said they had a lovely talk. This makes Sigma the only character to have canonically scored a successful date with Mercy.
SO, TLD;DR: While it’s strongly implied that both Pharah and Genji have feelings for Mercy, so far the only thing Mercy is confirmed to love is Ingrid’s apple pie.

Hey! I saw you remove that Zen/Genji section! You put that back so I can argue why Ram has 3000% more rizz than Zen!

Alright I put it back, but I don’t see the point of “arguing” that Ramattra has infinite rizz when that’s just, like… the truth.
