@Pinguino_Fics What pairing would you exactly do though. Most of the potential queer ships, either in lore would make no sense due to pacing or not having met at all yet so it'd be just as forced as Wuyang and Juno
Wouldn't making a queer character for the sake of shipping them with another character be just as dry and forced as a heterosexual one? I understand the sentiment but at the same time we can't just make characters up for shipping fuel
New characters being shipped together is cool (excluding a/nahardt obviously) like E/mfrej and m/ilkywave, but can we start making new characters for queer romances too instead of just off screen queer love? It’s not about ship wars it’s about homophobia I feel 😮💨
@soulselfs - in the PVE menu, if you play Tracer in all three missions you get to see conversations between Tracer and Emily
- Emily and Tracer were also major representation back then when OverWatch was first coming out because Tracer was the poster child of OverWatch during 2016
@soulselfs - Emily has appeared in game during season 5. Just not a model.
- Emily has appeared in the first Christmas comic, in multiple comics based on Tracer, the latest Christmas comic where she's straight up visits Gibraltar, appeared as a photo in zero hour,
@websbian They were already having interactions like this before June even started. Not to mention this completely erases the potential of wuyang and Juno being bisexual
@mizukipilledd People will say that Wuyang and Juno have no chemistry and are only there for shipping fuel but then turn around and ship Wuyang with Mizuki
@1BlueButterfly6@Etinatem They were never so close to being a couple and Baptist isn't the only male character life Weaver flirted with. Let's stop spreading misinformation now buddy
@Oshu741472@Greenpig117 So do a good sum of the straight characters like Hazard who has an omnic girlfriend. Or how https://t.co/ZYXkSsneiD's engineer has a crush on her. Not to mention chalking the characters up to just being NPCs as if they aren't major parts of Tracer and soldiers lore
@skawbie Are actually portrayed as a couple. It's been primarily flirtation between characters which includes some lgbtq ships as well, like pharmaercy and Bapweaver
@skawbie Not inherently true. Baptiste and malga were written to be like ex-lovers and in the pride short story about pharah and Baptiste it's confirmed Baptiste has a crush on Cassidy. And mind you, the recent Canon couples in the webtoon are the first time any characters in game-
@ClRCUSBABIES I'm excited for season 4 because that's most likely when Baptiste and diva will finally be relevant to the plot since the whole junkertown plotline mauga was originally sent on. Will be brought up again along with the Mecha squad seemingly returning around then too
@DontLickMyHead@rique_silva11 Exactly they're only upset because they can't portray Wuyang as an uwu yaoi bottom anymore (even though they totally still can it's just no longer canon)
@UwUFuckingMains And that's not even mentioning how most of the queer NPCs people love to complain about both played major roles in Soldier 76 and tracers, current arcs and backstories. Like how Soldier realized how much OverWatch consumed his life reflecting on his relationship with Vincent?
@UwUFuckingMains Cass and Ash, I would group in a similar situation to mauga and Bap. As her Freya and Emre while the two are close and seemingly had a romantic history with each other, I don't know if they still have those feelings.
@hallicai@WarnTV Baptist is more likely going to be prevalent when season 4 rolls around because that's when the story is going to shift more towards junkertown and mauga. And in the The recent chapters pharah is extremely clingy of Sierra when all the girls started chatting with her
