because homo sex is abnormal and for freaks

fragile masculinity. next

Why do gay 'people' keep making this thread every day?

Tokenism and pandering.

His orientation was forced as fuck because "MUH PROGRESS" and "MUH DIVERSITY".

The only proper gay people in video games can exist as psychopaths who lust men; it provides an actual, sensible reason for why they're gay and it makes people interested in the character more.

>implying anyone feels anything for Overwatch in 2019

no ones offended by sexuality
the only offense is the amount of drama and effort put into establishing something so trivial to "character development" instead of actually improving the shooter at it's core

also
>caring about Overcrotch in 2019

bend over then

Soldier 76 was created by Chris Metzen in the 90s. "I'm a one man army" is a line directly from the Soldier comic Metzen wrote in 2004. Soldier was teased in the 2014 Overwatch trailer and finally he was introduced in July 2015. He was a gritty, jaded, serious loner - a Clint Eastwood impression who only cared about fighting. He wasn't gay, and nothing in his origin story, animated short, or in-game voice lines ever hinted that he might be.

Chris Metzen left Blizzard in September 2016, and a few months later the Soldier 76 character started to change. Blizzard published a comic in December 2016 declaring that Tracer is lesbian and hinting that Soldier is gay (the same comic also hinted that Chu's character Genji is straight and fucks Mercy lol). A little while later they confirmed it.

Sucking dicks isn't part of the character Metzen conceived. Blizzard faggots changed Metzen's character only AFTER he left. They destroyed his character for spite and for good boy points.

Have you considered killing yourself.

The issue it basically feels like it was done to be woke. Same thing as Dumbledore. There is 0 evidence Dumbledore loves cock but apparently he loves cock because its progressive.

Dude he's barely even a character. One single personality facet, that's all he has and that's all you identified in your post. Who gives a shit if they make him gay, the characters in this shit game are shallower than the water in my toilet bowl. Make them all gay, would make 0 difference. There is no way you unironically care about overwatch lore right...?

this. They didn't make him gay because they thought it would add to his character or story. They just did it to virtue signal and not because they genuinely care… And that's fucking disgusting!

>be a faggot
>need attention constantly
>have an enormous victim complex
>constantly badger people about how problematic they are for allegedly having problem with gays
>they call you an annoying faggot because you never shut the fuck up about how gay and special you are
>this fuels your victim complex
>repeat

This is why people throw you off buildings. You aren't worth talking to. No one cares about you sucking dick just quit being such a degenerate faggot about it.

bomb yourself ahmed
you won't be missed

>Draw a straight man
>Call him homosexual and call it a day
Really Blizzard

Isn't Tracer and Solider being corrupted just going along with the longest trope Blizzard have had in their catalogue since day one?

because it came out of nowhere and isn't a part of his character which is a military badass. what if Konami suddenly make snake gay?

The issue is more to do with the fact that his orientation has nothing to do with anything and seems to have been a half-baked "reveal" for the sake of scoring diversity points. It's not representation, it's tokenism. It's shallow and done in bad faith.

Giving characters canon “official” sexualities is stupid. Fanartists and writers are gonna do what they want anyways, give them more freedom.

fujos and fags would wet their panties

>game canonically has nothing to do with the real overwatch world
Doesn't this mean you could still be playing a straight S76 given his faggotry was shown out of game?

Because they are searching for reason to complain. Like who cares. Everybody normal just faps to Overwatch porn and doesn't give a single fuck about game itself. Also I won't believe Soldier didnt had own gay porn even before he was canonically hay.

You and the rest of you shitty "allies" don't get it, and honestly you're the biggest problem for gay representation there is. We don't want straight characters turned gay to appease us. We don't want characters written overtly gay who end up being their sexual preference first and a character second. Yet those are the only avenues you fuckers can imagine in.

Soldier 76 was fine as he was. Suddenly announcing "oh yeah, he was gay all along lol" is as insulting to our intelligence as it should've been to yours. But instead, you keep championing on our behalf, insisting that the gay community NEEDS this, and all you're doing is validating views like who think you're speaking for us.

Pic fucking related.

I thought Soldier was a cool character. It's not Shakespeare but he's a cool character for a shooting game and even though sexuality doesn't matter for shooting he's coded as straight and appeals to straights (Clint Eastwood impression).

Sorry but I don't want to play as a gay, it makes the character less appealing. Make him straight or at least asexual since it doesn't really matter for shooting and he was cool when he was asexual (2014-2016 era Soldier).

The gays arent the ones constantly crying on Yea Forums user, that would be you and the other fat disgusting virgins. You really think a gay man posted this thread? All that shit you spewed onto those meme arrows look like projections to me. Notice how you used the phrase victim complex over and over again? If you don't care about homosexuality why are you raging and crying?

Because it was just virtue signaling, whole thing felt faker than JK Rowling's recent bullshit.

even if gays wouldn't be stereotypes they still won't change their mind so you can try and crawl up homophobes asses, because it doesn't change their views.

This unless there's a great official OTP just do whatever the fuck you want.

Wtf are you talking about moron? All I did was point out that the characters in overwatch are extremely shallow and making them gay changes absolutely nothing. You spergs are the ones crying, real life faggots dont give a shit whos gay and whos not. Thread full of brainlets and autists I'm leaving now

>game with no story gives characters a backstory
who the fuck cares? as long as he doesn't end up with a village people skin I couldnt care less

Why is it so hard to understand that tokenism and meaningless pandering is not something that people like

Get with the times now being a gay man isn't empowering to minorities/women anymore, literally no gay dude asked for Blizzard to do this.

>Diablo immortal shitfest happened
>everyone shitting on Blizzard
>hey guis S76 is gay!

It sounds like damage control to me

It's because HOW they revealed he was gay.

Not during pre-release or open beta.
It was like 2 YEARS after it came out that Blizzard basically went "oh btw, 76 is Gay"

Why do Yea Forums mods allow this?
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

>overwatch
>not a blender/sfm porn thread

Like yikes guys.
Yikes.

Because I don't like playing as a male character who likes to get fucked in the ass by other males. It's disgusting.

Don't blame this on gay people, they wouldn't be this much of a faggot.

I'm actually gay and I think 76 being gay is boring as fuck

Oh well at least he's hot, it's not like they are pulling off something like what Sony does to their female characters.

It's the J.K. Rowling approach of retroactively giving character traits that pander to a certain audience just to gain virtue points.
Nothing about him being gay impacts his character or gameplay and there was nothing about him that suggested he was gay in the past, which makes sense because there was also nothing that suggested he was straight and him being straight wouldn't have impacted his character or gameplay either.

I shouldn't have to know other human's sexual orientation, let alone a videogame character in a shit TF2 clone

i don't mind his homosexual orientation, but he's a terrible looking gay character

pic related is how you should make a gay male, i'd go full homosexual for him

It's the fact he was made gay to protect blizzard from all the controversy they had that really made people hate him

based

Fucking this. But I can't think of many characters like this. The closest one is Ai's Japanese voice in Puyo Puyo Tetris. Man am I gay and a zoophile for him.
