I kinda wish we'd gotten a bit more character development and story on all of them before going "Oh yeah by the way this person is gay, now back to this awesome story I was telling..." I like how ME3 handled Cortez, even though he didn't get any major amounts of development, it wasn't really hammered in that he's gay when you find out about it, if you even got to that reveal anyway. But this just feels like "LESBIAN SURPRISE! -Rainbows-". I'd have rather them focused more on building up these characters more before any reveals on romantic relationships. Either that or just have it mildly introduced when we were learning about each character in the beginning. Let the shippers and artists have their own headcanon (which they'll continue to do anyway) and keep with the world-building. Don't just have 'em be gay for the sake of inclusivity, or just leave out the romantic relationships altogether, let people (keep) form(ing) their own stuff on them. This also reeks of being a safe choice, with Tracer being the face of the game (she's the only character on the front cover of physical copies), despite the diverse cast of characters, and being the cute lesbian is pretty much the safest way to introduce an LGBT character. I'm not against it, but either fully commit to the deal or just don't do it.

Three days ago I had a dream where I moved out into my own home. It was hugely spacious and felt like an auditorium. anyway I leave for a day and a troupe of merchants, complete with tents and beasts of burden, have taken up residence in my foyer. I ask the leader to get his group out of my home, but he replies since it was empty when they found it, it is now their property. so I am now fed up and decide to just kill them all with a sword and board I have suddenly. Well in the middle of my fight I try to kill the leader but he won't die. I suddenly realize reality has rules like TES and he's Essential. I've ruined a quest I was supposedly doing by killing the merchants. I try to fix it by reloading an earlier save, but then I woke up. never should have come here

The jam with revealing characters as LGBT+ in media is that it in all likelihood really isn't gonna seem like a big deal, or it'll seem like a big deal over a minor thing, to you if you aren't part of that demographic. But to someone who is? It's really nice and touching to have characters to relate to on that particular note. And while I can't personally relate to Tracer herself what with me not being a lesbian lady, it both makes me happy that my friends who are have a character that they can say does canonically share that aspect of themself, and also gives me hope that more character's that I specifically can relate to will be written in the future. I think the reveal itself in the comic was p well handled as far as this sorta thing goes, Tracer's actual personality as a bit of a friendly but hyperactive mess was front and center the whole time. And as Bumscags said, the ideal would be to have it just be a normal thing without NEEDING to be a Big Cool Fancy Reveal. But shit's not ideal. I really like the various omnics in various human clothes Makes me want a formal wear Zenyatta skin

im ok with it also because it means Mercy or Pharah could still hypothetically want to kiss me

Tracer and her gf are cute together but the REAL otp is Hanzo x An Entire Cake
