What's your opinion on the pose being removed.
Let's start with the fact that this pose is for a win animation. I kicked your ass and I'm going to gloat. Any enemy that has been so thoroughly trounced that they cannot even warrant your forward attention anymore is going to cry. "I'm still a threat! Don't turn away from me! I'm still worth your time!" No you are not, so I am going to turn my back on you because that's how little threat you are. This pose is not about "HEY EVERYBODY CHECK OUT MY SWEET BOOTY!" It is about VICTORY AND GLOATING. Stop making it about the butt.

So an user wrote a complaint on the battle.net forums regarding this particular Victory Pose, shown by the Blizzard Overwatch character Tracer (attached image at the bottom, might be considered NSFW for some (?), I dunno better safe than sorry)
From what I infer from his post he is uncomfortable with the idea of sexualizing a character whose lore does not present her as a particularly sexy (?) (can't find the right word here, pardon me) but has other defining qualities, as opposed to other Heroes (?) whose sexuality is a more prominent part of their kit, such as the sniper Widowmaker or the K-Pop singer, D-Va
What's your opinion in the matter? Do you think that the distint characteristics of Tracer do not mix with her being overtly sexual? What's your opinion in general on sexualization of both female and male characters in video games? Is it an issue? If so, why?
Feel free to elaborate on the matter, and I would like to beg y'all to keep the discussion civil.
I found the topic on the following pcgamer article
If you were looking for a giveaway prepare to be disappointed, not gonna bribe you guys so that you express yourselves, I'd rather we all discussed for the sake of it. <3
NSFW-ish?
