Not that many games has so much diversity in representation, we have to admit that.
It’s always ends in something like:
“Hey, this secondary character is a lesbian! Let’s not mention that ever again.”
But this game has variety, and that’s something I appreciate.

“Baptiste He’s currently the only canon bisexual representation on the Overwatch roster.” so we just gonan ignore how when Mauga was first made they were described to be written like an old toxic couple years after a breakup?

It wouldn’t be representation if they shoehorned them in for no reason other than to pump up the numbers. And just like real life, you can’t just assume everyone is straight when there’s been no indication either way. Most people mind their business and don’t wear signs indicating their preferences.
It has already happened in multiple threads from day 1.

Dang! I never knew Tracer was kissin’ Emily all the way back in 2016! 
Great recap of the LGBTQIA+ heroes. Now, can we get some new skins for these heroes? Lifeweaver’s new skin looks awesome, everyone deserves the same treatment

Why did it take you 2 edits for that?
People who type out of anger tend to rewrite their own comments a lot lol
The forum wiped half the reply and my edit fixing it registered as two for some reason. I can’t help you beyond that, but if bugs like that worry you so much I’d suggest making a post here: Technical Support - Overwatch Forums
Not sure about this one chief. The new gen heroes sexual identities feel a bit “forced“ compared to earlier heroes I:E Tracer which felt a lot more natural and cute. Back when politics were a lot less radical and things were less divisive.
These events feel very forced and corporate.
And yes, I am Asexual myself so I think i have more insight on the state of the matter.
Edit: (Asexual hero when blizz?)
There is nothing wrong with being gay or bi ETC, but it starts feeling offputting when it feels forced. Thanks for reading, I guess?

When you quote the very last post in full in your reply, the forum automatically erases the quote and gives you an edit mark. When you manually reinsert the quote after the fact, it gives you a second mark.

Please make brigitte and anran SOME kind of queer not for each other necessarily but like theres definitely something queer about both of those characters and it feels as though blizzard has stripped Anran of her appearance in favor of capitalizing off of her more “attractive” appearance so like please do something instead of just giving kiriko and Juno skins for gods sakes you’re a multilmillion dollar company already

As much as I want my Pharamercy and MekaMechanic, I am grateful that they aren’t just saying characters are queer. It’s actually based in in-game cannon and the published comics. And they aren’t hiding it.
There is something queer about Anran
And Brigitte too, especially with her whole “Mechanic” skin and the Dokiwatch lore with D.Va.
Hands over a shot of Apple JD to help dull the pain…

Wow that’s actually what happened, I didn’t know this is a full on forum bug.
More than likely it’s an intended functionality. It can be circumvented by editing or omitting a part of the quoted text, like I did with the period above.
