New game, new couples
So who is going to be the next canon lesbian?
>>3803283If they're gonna give her some offscreen no name gf, then hopefully no one.
I just want more dvamercy smut
>>3803283You should be able to figure that out for yourself by doing the math with the creepy diversity system they have.
>>3803489Well it tells me that we're unfortunately getting the letters b and t next and God knows what else.
>>3803691I wouldnt mind if they made Widow or/and Ashe bi.
Imagine being sandwiched between Junker Queen and Zarya.
>>3804309
>>3803317>dvamercy smut Ohh it takes me back,good old days with that ship
>>3803283Unfortunately we’re not getting lesbian character canon yet,probably a bi hero is possible,my bets are ash/widow or sombra
>>3805131Holly goddess, hit me up with a source, would you?
>>3806213https://twitter.com/Shadowyahaha
>>3806358Were you expecting anything different?
>>3806264Thank you
>>3808608Is that a new D.va/Mercy pic? I hade all but given up hope that this ship would survive into the relaunch.Have some spook for the holidays. I hope we can get some good stuff involving witch Mercy again.
>>3809247I remember that I used to have folder with all d.va x mercy fan arts in it,but that’s hell long ago
How do we feel about this ship?
>>3809912Cant see Windowmaker making out with a non Tracer or Mercy.
>>3809912I'm a Ouihaw chad.
>>3796312
>>3809583Well, might as well share the Dva/mercy comics from way back when thats been on my hard drive.https://gofile.io/d/3FYAXH
>>3810087I like this ship entirely on the basis of its name, and nothing else.
>>3803317>DVercyI live for this shipI still got some untranslated ones that I haven't seen in that ones >>3811165 collection and would be more than willing to typeset
>>3811877
I have a lot more untranslated ones but I don't want to fill up the thread. So have some smut instead
>>3811165Bless you anon
>>3810682I love them
>>3803317https://archiveofourown.org/works/42064212/chapters/105865110Sadly just that chapter.
>>3814360Needs way more Kiriko ships/content
>dva is still everywhereHating her is a curse. She's not cute, "goblin mode" is not endearing. She is just overexposed, overhyped and perhaps the most generic character after "blond mommy mercy"
>>3814481I bet you love Vi.
>>3814488Not really. The porn makes her super mannish. I adore Mei. Or moira, the non-weeb new characters are also fine. I like most of the cast.What I dislike is seeing dva as 99% of what gets posted without having to come here or search various sites by character name just to see overwatch content that's not her
>>3814758We need more quality Moira content.
>>3815047I love when Mercy and Moira interact in pre match dialogue.
>>3815047She's distinct. Being a lanklet makes her stand out a bit. Plus there's the accent>>3815062That borderline professional respect is a fun dynamic. Overwatch actually has a fair bit of it with old mate sigma
>>3814488>I bet you love Vi.Yes.jpg
Ah, the good old days.
I need more JQ x Kiriko!
>>3809912Cursed. Mekamechanic is best >>3818435:(
>>3834355>:(
PEOPLE ON THE OBJECTIVE GET PRIORITY HEALING BABE
I just think they're neat
>>3809913Same, but throw Ashe and sombra into the mix for me as well
How old is kiriko supposed to be? Sometimes they portray her as being mid-20s, other times mid/early-30's to be in line with being genji and hanzo's "little sis"That being said I wish she was less bland. Same with sojourn.
>>3840354I miss the peak of WidowTracer so much...
>>3878876>>3878875Wow, that's really good. Holy shit.
I don't have any Hana/Moira art on hand but it's a pairing for patricians and Chads
>>3888625Hana/Brigitte is good tooGood enough to be canon imo
>>3878872Imagine her getting licked all over by every Overwatch girl
>>3921740
>>3921743
>>3921740>>3921743>>3921745I HATE D.VA!>I HAVE D.VA!
>>3921855Rude.
>>3923702
>>3804993This anon called it. The new hero is pan (bi)
The incredible lack of Volskaya content with Zarya and/or Sombra is abysmal. Life is pain.
>Blizzard is so critically unable to put story into Overwatch even after four years dedicated to it and end up having to scrap the major selling point of the second gameon the one hand this means all the girls can get shipped without canon getting in the wayon the other it is straight up embarrassing for a AAA studio to be this terrible at development
>>3949943It's utterly baffling. Shouldn't even be that hard. Just do like a handful of personal stories. The bar was already one of the lowest. Like when the head writer quit, everyone's reaction wasn't "well what's gonna happen now?" it was "Overwatch had a writer? Everyone assumed it was just an arena freemium game with cool character gimmicks like Raid Shadow legends or TF2.
https://overwatch.blizzard.com/en-us/media/stories/as-you-are/So, Pharah is officially gay
>>3961687Surprising nobody
>>3961687I wonder how /v/ is taking it
>>3961687FUCK NO. I wanted Ashe to be gay or at least bi. Making other characters gay lowers the chance of that happening. Pharah is a charisma void, who the fuck cares about her?>>3961693No one gives a shit anymore.
>>3961703Well I do.I've always liked Pharmercy plus she's probably my favorite Damage character
>>3961687>cancel PvE>make two characters lesbian and biI guess that's double the shit show as what happened a couple years back
Pharmercy rise
>>3961750The only good thing from this reveal
>>3961717Then your taste is awful, I'm sorry.
>>3961762And your a bitter het fag who no longer can self-insert.
>>3961687My pharmercy figmas are at least half canon /u/ now. This was definitely chosen because it is the character that causes the least friction to announce since people have been memeing about it forever but I'm still happy.
>>3961703Ashe won't be gay, but she will become Junker Queen's nonconsensual fuck slave, which is functionally the same.
If I had a nickel every time a short haired minority woman with a jetpack in a hero shooter who had a special ability where they launched a barrage of missiles was confirmed to be a lesbian, I'd have two nickelsWhich isn't a lot but it's weird that happened twice
>>3961687>make Pharah gay>sweet on Mercy, who seems to be not interested, or at least didn't trust her enough to tell her about joining Overwatch>Mercy says in her voice line to Baptiste she's got her eyes on someone he hasn't met yetHmm, one step forward, two steps back.
>>3961866 Mercy says there's someone else she has her eye on, because he was initially trying to hit on her. Baptiste then goes to ask if it's someone he knows, to which Mercy replies, "Well, with any luck, you'll find out soon enough."So she never admitted it's not someone he doesn't know.Hopefully we'll find out June 1st.
Confirming a character is gay in a game like OW can be such a double-edged sword.With every character that get get confirmed, the likelihood of the rest being straight increases.I can't really be too happy with Pharah being made officially gay, because that means the rest of the female cast are either outright straight or Bi at best.This has always been somewhat the case since Tracer's reveal, but now it's been made significantly worse with Pharah taking up a, for a lack of better term, "lesbian slot".Just like with Tracer, I feel that this is another Monkey's Paw situation.
>>3961866>sweet on MercyI'm not sure which I prefer more, the two of them actually hooking up or Pharah having a childhood crush that she never quite got over.Makes me think of those age gap artworks like "12-year-old girl with a crush on her cool 17-year-old neighborhood oneesama"
>>3961800You referring to Valkyrie?
>>3961762Says the guy who wanted Ashe of all people to be confirmed gay
>>3961687I wish I cared about Pharah. I need Moira to be gay so bad.
>>3961881Exactly. I wished Mercy was confirmed gay instead.
>>3961687can't even enjoy the reveal because of how much i hate this writing
>>3961771miiiiiiight be more than half>>3961693laughing at how predictable they are more than anything, feels like near every time Blizz is going through some scandal or bad press they reveal another lgbt character
>>3961997the more i see of the writing the worse it gets
>character confirmed as a lesbian>/u/'s bitching about itSasuga
>>3961989>>3961881This. >>3961963At least Ashe has a personality. And good voice acting, unlike Pharah.
>>3962008It's fucking Overwatch.
>>3962010I hate the voice acting for all characters in this game, I play with the brazilian audio, much better.
>>3962008Because this is a Pyrrhic victory.By confirming Pharah as gay, they've also all but confirmed every other female character as straight.Keeping things ambiguous but having lots of characters to ship is better than having a confirmed character but killing all shipping.
>>3962027Sis this game is 7 years old already, all of the ships are pretty solid right now, Pharah being confirmed gay is not going to change things in the fandom.
>>3962035That's with the old status quo where, with the exception of Tracer and Soldier 76, thing were kept mostly ambiguous.
>>3962044Pharah is a non-issue imo because everyone already assumed she was gaySoldier 76 caught everyone off guard (same with Tracer)
>>3962027>Because this is a Pyrrhic victory.No, it's called being a schizo.
>>3962055But now they've confirmed it, the rest of the female cast have all but been confirmed as straight.It's a minor tactical victory. But it's a major strategic defeat.
>>3962059Schizo.
>>3962057>>3962063Pharmacy ain't ever going to be canon. Remember what they did with Tracer?
>>3962066As much as I doubt anything actually happens there's still infinitely more of a chance than there ever was of Tracer/Widow, that shit was always a crack pairing with absolutely zero basis in anything official
>>3962067Widowtracer had a great potential enemie-to-lovers and other dynamics going for it.The point is, though, is that we're not going to get anything from Pharah's confirmation.If anything it's made things worse and actually end up losing because with Tracer and now Pharah satisfying Blizzard's "Lesbian representation" quota, they are now much more likely to make the rest of the female characters straight.
>>3962008One lesbian isn't yuri. Two are.
>>3962069I always imagined that whenever Blizzard did something stupid or did some other scandal, if they really wanted to distract people and make them happy, they would have made Pharmercy canon.
>>3961997>miiiiiiight be more than halfI'm unconvinced, largely because Mercy is absent from their little pride promo shot. I'm thinking it's a one-sided thing, if even that and Pharah isn't just slightly hung up over old feelings.Or to put it bluntly, they have everything to win and nothing to lose by keeping Mercy ambiguous.
This is great news, no matter what FUD people try to post.>>3962010Pharah's JP voice is Romi Park.
>>3962160It's great news if they actually commit to it and not just mention it now and never do anything with it ever again. You know, like they did with Tracer.Right now it's just blatant deflection from the community still being pissed at PvE mode being canned and Diablo IV melting graphics cards.
>>3962171Obviously what's needed is a horde mode where you play as Tracer and Pharah and you have to fend off waves of adoring fangirls.
>>3962075For what is worth, the current lead writer is a huge Pharmercy fan
So from what I gathered all the seething about Pharah being a canon lesbian as expected of /u/, obviously is because it's not THEIR favourite character/ship that was canonized and they're jelly.
>>3962354Well duh? That was exactly the point I was making, dunno why you're acting all smug about pointing out the obvious.
>>3962276>For what is worth, the current lead writer is a huge Pharmercy fanThat doesn't mean much when we get lore once in a blue moon. Tracer being a lesbian has pretty meant fuck all in the grand scheme of things and people are still mad about the entire PvE thing that even Pharmercy fans are calling this a cheap deflecting tactic.>>3962354Well it didn't really confirm anything bar Pharah being a lesbian. Someone even mentioned that this doesn't confirm Pharmercy as a relationship, and the dude actually asked Blizzard in a dev interview about it.
>>3962354actually, i'm bitching because i think the reveal was badly written
>>3962520The whole "oh btw I'm a lesbian" made me chuckle because it felt like one of those informations that people just drop even though nobody asked. Tracer's and 76's reveal felt a little bit more organic there.
>>3962010>At least Ashe has a personalitykek
>>3962832Yeah and that's still more personality than Pharah.
>>3961992My Gay Wishlist consists of; Zarya, Junkerqueen and Brigitte. We need some big and strong Amazonian lesbians for a change.I mean, sure, Pharah isn't exactly a dainty little flower herself, but she doesn't quite fit the bill compared to the above mentioned characters.They're Coke, she's Coke Zero.>>3962354I would be lying if I said there wasn't at least an element of this in mine and others grievance with the reveal. But as others have said, it's also because of how badly it was done, the reason it was likely done and the now higher probability of other female characters being made straight.
>>3968371And of course some people are already shutting down any criticism of the issue because, yay, Pharah is gay and it doesn't matter how bad the reveal or how long it took. The devs are at no fault :^)To actually defend these fucks after 6 years of nothing for most characters (and Tracer basically got dropped soon after she was confirmed a lesbian) is the height of masochism.
>>3955525Tf2 actually did have a lore comic and it ended suddenly, same thing as here, everyone hated it when it happened to tf2 lol
>>3968639it blows my mind anyone would defend Blizzard over anything at this point regardless if its fine or not
>>3973832Lots of the LGBT crowd are legit idiots that eat up the smallest of crumbs and run to the defense of those who give them because their desire for validation supercedes all other higher brain functions.
>>3968639>any criticism of the issueWhat is the """"issue"""" here, what is the """"criticism""""", and what counts as """"defending"""" blizzard, exactly?
>>3973905The issue being they have once again been caught redhanded because they announced Pharah being a lesbian shortly before pride month to mask ANOTHER case of harassment within Blizzard on top of the PVE debacle and some of the LGBTs are trying to memory hole the issue because, yay, they now at last can feel presented in the game. And cool it with the quotation marks, it only makes you look retarded.
>>3974059Not that anon you replied to and I don't want to speak for everyone but I think, /u/ doesn't care about inner politics or harassment charges. The reveal will provide more content, which I'm glad for but not particular fond of that it is Porah. The gay reveal is different from the crime charges and you should always try to keep those two things separately even if it's a division from the actual problem. We are here to see two girls holding-hands. So political issues and what not should be kept away from. But if you can in turn make it /u/ I don't have a problem with it.But I agree, the amount of quotation marks does make the poster look retarded.
>>3974087I personally don't see Blizzard acting even remotely in good faith here. And whatever "more content" you speak of is going to be neglible, since everyone drew Pharah as a lesbian anyway, so nothing's changed. Same as with Tracer, really.
>>3974059>it only makes you look retarded>the amount of quotation marks does make the poster look retarded.No, it doesn't.
>>3974548Grow up.
>>3974719So we can marry?
>>3975175
>>3974530Yeah I agree. If they do it during pride month there is also that plausible deniability that it's not just something to make them look better in the midst of another controversy. Not that I'm going to complain because more /u/ is always nice, but it's a pretty easy get out of drama card to play.
>>3974087>>3974530>>3983335Let's be real here. We're not going to get any new content. The most we have got out of Tracer's reveal is her getting a literally-who and irrelevant girlfriend. And it doesn't look like Pharah is going to get even that.As for fan content, well, it's not like the fans weren't already regularly producing a lot fanart and fanfics. The reveal has changed nothing on that front.The only folks who make het OW content are pornographers and that's because they and their fanbase/customers are phallus-centric faggots. It doesn't matter a female character's sexuality, they're still going to be making Tracer and Pharah having sex with men and/either giving them have a dick. Face it. Blizzard's motivations behind Pharah's reveal are entirely cynical in nature and we're not going to gain anything from it.
>>3991259Wow. Sauce?
>>3991403Artist is denimcatfish, but it doesn't show up in her twitter.
>>3991412>denimcatfishI thought it was her from the artstyle, but as you've said, never seen this pic on her twitter so wasn't sure. Thanks.
Fit or thick?
>>4036831Fick.
>>4036831Brick
>>3968371You mean like how a bunch of people shipped widowtracer then tracer got a gf and widow turned out straight?
I'm not really an overwatch person but saw this webm and it triggered my yuri instincts pretty hard. Rare pairing desu
>>3961687Holy fuck WHAT, how did I miss this for 4 monthsWhat else came out from this? Are Mercy/Pharah a thing(officially) now?
>>4057453No.Anyway, Overwatch is dead.
>>4058538As long as porn of it is being made, it's alive.
>>4063341>>4066195Love me completely random ships
Crossposting from the interracial thread. Canon desu
https://twitter.com/LCapussi/status/1719797158772187384Does that last line count as Pharmercy shilling?
>>4088029Cute. It's funny how pocket medic goes from weird game jargon to cutesy when you add the yuri on top.
Haven't played since they let the Free To Play shitters were allowed in with OW2. Any hard canon ships with Mercy or Moira?
>>4095365Pharah is officially gay now, which added a lot of ammo to Pharah x Mercy. But nothing hard canon.
>>4095371What about Junker queen? She looks like she'd be a nice sub to a healer.
>>4095408That's a pairing I didn't expect but I'm into it
>>4096343I think Dvas used to dom Widows sometime in the first games life time.
I wish there was more D.va/Kiriko stuff. I think they are very cute together.
>>4097322
>>4097341
>>3804648Thank you for imaging the other guy's imagination
>>4097322I think I'm the last D.va/D.mon shipper on Earth.
>>4097755Here's an idea: D.mon capture by Talon/Knoll and brain washed into fighting for them. Only Hana's kiss can break her mind control. Bonus points for Window helping Hana out since she's been through that but got the bad ending. Not like a team up, but she ignores Talon's call for back up or closes the gate early.
