So Tracer has been canonically confirmed in a relationship with Emily, I think it's a very nice and a very bold move by the OW team for two reasons.

1st of all. We have Zarya, who has a butchy look and people's bets were on her to be LGBT. So it's a nice bait and switch there. Then Tracer is the flagship of the game, or at least used to be. She is the most recognized character and the most present one on OW material, making it cool for the amount of exposure this will get.

Now, how will the gaming world, and or certain parts of it react to this.

Also the comic where this was revealed is not accessible on Russia

I don't get the whole stupid idea of "shipping" anyone anyway... Maybe the char doesn't wanna be with anyone, why does the community have to try hard such bs xD IT's a game after all, not "The Bold and the Beautiful"...

There would be a bigger uproar if their male character would appear to be gay. Some homophobes would skip picking that character ever again.
Also, why care about a fictional character's sexuality? Or anyones at all... Like you really care about someone loving to rub ones genitals with other same sex genitals?

Not sure if they did it to be "controversial" or "different" (seems everyone's doing it these days), but for me it makes no difference. Gays are a part of life and human culture and it makes sense to me that they're represented in gaming accordingly.

I don't care what anyone's sexuality is, and care even less about the sexuality of a fictional character.

That's logically false. Offshore oil drilling does have a presumed negative impact on either our direct lives or the lives of our descendants. Sexual equality does not, and a comic lightly referencing it most certainly does not.

I haven't read the source material, but is she decidedly homosexual, or can she be bisexual?

Currently, you're free to apply whichever interpretation you prefer.
The comic is a very quick read, if you're interested.

Thanks! The title said she's "canonically homosexual" so just thought it was worth a clarification. Nice answer there.

Better phrased as "canonically in a homosexual relationship", but that'd be harder to fit into the title. :)

There is no special reason to do this, only money, i can explain: Whats the most "popular" thing right now and in the past years started as "mainstream"? How YOU make YOUR game more popular and more sold?

And a Good PR industry Says - LGBT, Lets make tracer (or any other pj at any game) homo. That how we make people to talk more about the game.

Personal opinion: Me as a person (european) that UNDERSTAND that Obama started all this SHIT with LGBT to gain VOTERS, nothing else, only votes and Black PR, its all for the money, in reality noone cares about them as they say they do. Good movie to see: Wag the Dog (1997).

And i understand that Russia is not banning any homo or LGBT move, its banning all that could count as a propaganda of homo.

Well even if the intentions are misguided, if it translates into more acceptance or rights or whatever it's cool for me.

It's the problem of 2016.

YOU HAVE TO have some gay or other stuff like this. Video game have more and more gay character, and even in TV shows there is at least one gay.
Tracer is gay, Super girl's sister is gay, pretty sure one character in the new Mass Effect will be gay as well.

You also need some people of color, you can't create a "homophobic and racist" game/show anymore (meaning only white and straght people, but show with only black is OK, because anti-white racism does not exist....). It's not good for the comfort zone of justice warrior.

I will probably got BL by cis-LGBT-trans-progressist-fluid-binary-genitals people. But as I consider myself as an attack helicopter, if you do this you are oppressing me.

You can do whatever you want. It's their game, it's their character choices. And no matter the reason behind (Anti White conspiracy, uuuuuuuh) it's how things go.

If you don't like it, it's your problem I think.

Also Bretagne á jamais. I wanted to make some snarky comments with your avatar and ideology. But we'll let it sit.
