When they teased they'd be revealing an LGBT character soon, there was no doubt in my mind that it was going to be a female character. Kind of surprised (and disappointed) to see the backlash on the official forums, seeing as Overwatch fandom is so drenched in LGBT shipping. You'd have thought people would be used to it by now.
I do wonder though if this comic has something to do with the recently cancelled one that was canned due to changes in the story.

Phamercy ain't happening, but at the same time Genji and Mercy isn't a done deal. Could just be a grateful letter for saving his life.
The canned comic was going to going into the Omnic crisis and origins of Overwatch. My bet is after the popular reception to Junkenstein's revenge they're converting that story into a gameplay mode.

Dearest Mercy,
Zenyatta's been teaching me a lot about balls.
Enclosed in an example.

Pharmercy is dead.
THANK YOU LORD.
THANK YOU LORD.
I don't think anyone, at least here on GAF, has a problem with Tracer being gay. The main complaint is about the Pharmercy ship going down in flames.

ME RIGHT NOW I AM GAGGED
too bad it got shortened from 8 to 6
Not sure why its surprising. Overwatch has a massive player base. There are going to be homophobes among that number.

hanzo is looking at a cake. genji is writing the letter. the letter says
watch out they have a hanzo
the kid is from the family whose gifts she saved a page back jesus
I thought i saw a comma, it was just the kid talking about her mom
I still think those kids are Brigitte's that Rein is telling stories to. They seem too young to be Rein's though they do have his hair. But some of them are redheaded.
Though it could also lead to Pharah being Rein's kid and her not wanting to tell Rein because he's clearly got his own shit

That was a random family she helped, and ended up missing the store closing time.
*checks Blizzard forums*
oh yeah, if you ever wanted to feel like shit because of humanity, go there and read that

Agreed. Blizz pls buff
I didn't say anything about GAF, which is a lot better about this stuff than other gaming forums
I was talking about the meltdowns on the official Blizzard forums that people are posting here
This is the best thing I've seen all week, lol.
just look at this
look at how sad the skeleton man is
Title change bringing the real megatons.
You.
You are a reasonable one.
We indeed need something as strong as the Widowtracer deathbomb before preaching Emergency.

I was not expecting them to confirm Tracer's sexuality at all, especially seeing as she's essentially the mascot of the game, but man what a nice surprise!It would be pretty cool for them to confirm Zarya's. Goodness knows there is not enough representation for butch lesbians. They exist too. <3
I almost feel like they'd shy away from that because it would be a little too stereotypical for the super-butch woman to be a lesbian. Then again I guess the short-haired tomboy being gay is also pretty stereotypical.
Mostly true, but in certain spaces (*coughcough*TUMBLR*coughcough*) there's actually been a disturbing trend of harassment towards people who have "problematic" ships/headcanons, ie het pairings of characters for whom the more popular and/or canon-supported pairings are gay ones. Thankfully I don't think that there are any particularly popular het Tracer ships, but God help anyone who drew "Mercy as mom/Soldier as dad/D.Va as baby" fanart if they reveal Mercy to be a lesbian.
(That said, I get the feeling they'll try to avoid revealing the sexuality/relationship status of anyone who has a particularly popular ship/headcanon with in the fandom)

Where's my fanart of Widowmaker fucking the zombie corpse of her husband?
I laughed and clapped. Bravo
Also, I love everything about this comic. Now give me that Hanzo skin.

I assumed that skin was an earlier version of herself, kind of like Ana's Captain Amari skin or 76's Origins skin. I assumed this even without realizing she wasn't amputated in that skin.
Two ideas on that:
1) the people in the LGBT fandom and the people complaining now are entirely separate;
2) it's easier for the people complaining to pass it off as "shit I don't care about" so long as it isn't official
My not-so-secret third guess is that the people complaining are totally fine with LGBT stuff if they think it's sexy, but not if it's an actual relationship between two people who don't perform for an imagined audience of heterosexual men.
