A shame that it had to go down this path for it to happen. If they were set in their minds about Tracer's image, they wouldn't change it. You don't seem them giving back every little thing that players ask for in forums or complain about with classes. People honestly can't believe they changed it because a few people were unhappy about it.</i><br /><br />This.<br /><br />So much this.<br /><br />If they weren't comfortable with it in the first place, they could have changed it and said "this is more of the Tracer we know from the world of Overwatch", then likely it wouldn't have been a major GamerGate style crapstorm. <br /><br />But once this hit the Facebook links and the major sites such as The Mary Sue and Kotaku picked up on it, everything hit the fan.<br /><br />(In a way, I really hope that Trump loses badly at the polls in the general election, so these idiots --like the GamerGaters-- who are emboldened by his asshattery will craw back under their collective rocks.)Redbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05306063084983025771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-40584002514642200302016-03-31T01:28:57.149+11:002016-03-31T01:28:57.149+11:00I'm with you on this one, Navi. The end goal o...I'm with you on this one, Navi. The end goal of all the so-called "PC" people I know is for games to have that diversity you talked about. If Tracer's pose was the only sexy butt pose in the game, then I would not want to see it removed for "PC" reasons. But we have Widowmaker. We have a couple more of the female characters who would totally rock a sexy butt pose. We don't need Tracer to be that too, especially when it is out of character for her to do it. <br /><br />It's ironic that the same arguments are used to opposite effect by the people protesting this change. "Don't cave to public pressure/don't give up your artistic integrity!" cry those who shouted at Blizz to restore flying in Warlords. "It's her character's fundamental design, so you shouldn't change it/complain about it" say those who defended Bayonetta's ultra-sexuality yet won't accept that Tracer's character design (like Zara's, like Mei's) is fundamentally removed from questions of sexuality, and so sexy butt poses are inappropriate for her. <br /><br />There have been a lot of critics, alot of bitter mockery of the "SJWs" and their "outrage culture", but the truth is that those who disagree with them are just as loud and quick to jump to outrage. This whole situation is an example. People on the internet don't seem to like that nasty idea of balance and moderation.<br /><br />Also I like writing sexy butt pose a lot.Dahakhahttp://starfiredbeef.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9139205590317840868.post-50491965286923587522016-03-30T18:23:00.157+11:002016-03-30T18:23:00.157+11:00I have honestly never taken characters at face val...I have honestly never taken characters at face value. I look at their abilities and play style and choose either what i want to play or what my team needs (in the case of overwatch or heroes of the storm)Spazz Wessonnoreply@blogger.com
