I want to hear the debate among people who feel strongly about the intersex inclusive progress flag and think the progress pride flag just isn't doing enough. I think what they're all missing the big picture on, is even with all these flags, none are gayer than the Canadian maple leaf flag.

This stuff is so obnoxious. I hope it starts to really hurt Overwatch 2's popularity soon.
"Name Cards allow you to choose how you identify within the game, and you’ll notice specific ones dedicated to some of our LGBTQ+ heroes. You’ll find a lesbian card for Tracer, a gay card for Soldier: 76, a pansexual card for Lifeweaver, as well as a bisexual card for Baptiste and a lesbian card for Pharah. For years, players have speculated on the sexual orientations of Baptiste and Pharah, and we are thrilled to not only include them in these Pride cosmetics but to also publish a brand new short story focusing on their identities, each other, and themselves."

Nah, gender identity and sexual orientation are the most important things in the universe. All forms of art, entertainment, and marketing need to explicitly focus on them.
There isn't. You'll be called a racist bigot if you try to create one. That's how inclusive they've become.

It's not that serious. It is corporate virtue signalling, they don't actually care about being progressive and inclusive. This is more about meeting the status quo.

Literally the second gayest thing I have seen in gaming (first is Cloud in FF7 Remake)

I'm confused as to why in the hell your sexuality matters in an online shooter. Like ever. At all.

It’s not even June. Blizzard was so eager to announce it they could not wait any longer.
Powerful statement.

Did they just monetize the LBGQT community. LOL....Atleast give us a cis male flag.

What should really hurt Overwatch 2 is Blizzard dropping the mode they advertised in order to convince people Overwatch 1 needed a sequel.

If I were gay, I'd want my flag to be like a rowdy-looking cock with a Prince Albert doing a burnout on a Harley. These flags don't even look cool

If you are to believe religion, hell is full of gay sex already so its in canon.

Diablo Pride Edition Series S should be announced by now. Get off that Bean Bag chair Phil, and get to the bottom of this.

Consenting adults can have whatever sex they want to. I don't care. Why do I and everybody else have to "celebrate" it for a whole month? They're shoving this crap down our throats, and it has to stop.

Nothing says inclusive like separating you from everyone else into 11 different groups.

I still don’t know why any of this matters and how this lgbt stuff got so much traction in gaming.
Why would I want everyone to know who I like to screw. Why is it so important for everyone to know that I like to dress up.
Fighting with violence and abuse against/ towards gay couples is the goal. But not here with this. The fact that it is so important to keep adding letters to lgbtq is speaking for itself… it’s nonsense

The way pride and all this shit is presented makes it seem like these people have literally nothing else in their life outside their sexuality. What a weird thing to distill your identity down to. It’s actually pathetic and deserves pity.

Overwatch released in 2016, and only now do we find out Pharah is attracted to women. If that was truly such an important aspect to her character, we would have known before, right?
The fact that they're revealing this stuff years later, for a pride event, just to garner attention and approval just feels manipulative and exploitative. It's a disservice to their own creation, the players and even the queer community they pretend to care so much about. Disgusting.
