SHE’S FUCKING GAY LADS
Me: -still doesn’t care-
well aren’t you just a bag of sunshine.
I honestly don’t know why everybody is making such a big deal about it there’s some people who didn’t like tracer until ‘HOLY SHIT SHES GAY? THAT INSTANTLY MAKES HER BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE!’ I honestly just couldn’t care, she could fuck snowflakes, I just simply wouldn’t care, for the simple matter that sexual orientation doesn’t matter to me. So what I was saying was I didn’t care the 1st time I saw people freaking out about it and I still don’t care now.
Here’s a little diagram of what it’s been like for the longest time
You see, for quite some time, LGBT members have either been poorly written, killed off (see bury your gays) or has just been a gimmick. There have been there have been some that reach all 3 like PB&marceleen or Korra&asami, but it’s still super rare to find. Tracer is the posterchild for overwatch. The most iconic character. The one that is the most advertised. And being openly gay gives gay people someone big that they can relate to. If you’re a minority and you see someone like you being a badass, it makes you feel good.
