My favorite part all the people freaking out. "cope and seethe," really? They seem to be under the mistaken impression that normal people are as obsessed with pointless nonsense as they are. You think I give a single fuck who an original (as opposed to corrupting existing chracters) fictional character sleeps with? I don't care if Tracer is lesbian or straight...but the lesbians and trannies sure do. So a straight Tracer is hilarious. "Cope and seethe" is, as with most leftist nonsense, total projection.
"she’s for the ladies thank you." No, she's a fictional character. She's not "for" anyone. Whether Tracer is gay or straight, she's not sleeping with you, loser. "She" (again, fictional fucking character) literally can't. Due to not existing. These people scare me.
The straight community has decided that Tracer likes getting piped. The flag community can have Baptiste and Pharah instead.
I do think that this is why I find a lot of the Sexual Minority representation worse than most of the "Strong Womyn" protagonists (though that still sucks, and I don't think I can speak positively of any female protagonist here without getting downvoted), because it feels like when you write a gay/transgender/tumblr gender nonsense character, that's the only real character trait they have. I think at least in theory it's possible to write a female protagonist without being obnoxious, like some of puppet combo's games.
Then again, I can understand if you think they suck equally.

It also restricts their lore.
As the image above depicts, if Tracer was made right proper she would have a kid, and you could do all sorts of cool things with that outcome, as Overwatch 3, 4, whatever could be about the next generation of heroes.
If Tracer's kid had acquired her speed/phasing abilities but without requiring the chest piece you could write some really cool storylines surrounding the family dynamic, the good, the bad, the possible corruption of her kid turning evil or lured to the dark side with an innate ability.
A character who grows up with a god-complex because they have that ability without requiring the restrictive tech to stabilise could also be a fun alternative. Having the parents have to deal with the outcome of fighting against their own child while the governing forces attempt to use lethal means to put them down adds even more complexity and a dynamic to the potential character arcs. One of the parents having to sacrifice themselves to save the child adds even more to the story, because a biological parent having to sacrifice themselves adds a lot more weight than if it's just a surrogate or adoptive parent.
But in Clown World, shoving in gay characters to force their appearance and presentation onto kids is more important than long-form storytelling, character dynamics, or world-building.

Hahaha. "Flag community" is great, too.
