Title is faulty. It was 1 complaint, by some jerkoff. You're also missing a counter letter in the Overwatch Forums:
"A Mother's Response to the Tracer Pose"
My name is Ginny Higerd. I'm 30 years old, and a mother of an 8 year old. I've been playing Blizzard Entertainment games since The Lost Vikings on SNES. I've been a gamer since 1993. I've been a WoW player since 2005.
I'm not attractive. I'm not skinny. I got my jelly rolls that I have to deal with. I've been teased about my appearance since elementary school. As I got older, I tried very hard not to let it get to me.
Today, however, I'm upset. I'm disappointed.
Today, I feel like my voice no longer matters to Blizzard. Today, I feel like I was told that I have to give up confident and sexy poses to cater to a small minority, very annoying voice in the gaming industry.
I'm quite frankly sick of it.
I love being a sexy night elf character. I love being Tracer. I love being Nova. I LOVE these strong women that can be confident in their abilities and their appearance, because in the real world, I'm none of those things. These games were an escape for me. I channel myself into these characters, because I would give anything to be just like them.
Blizzard, why am I not allowed to be strong and sexy? Why am I not allowed to love these characters as they already are? Why are you alienating not just me, but many other women that love these female characters as they are for a single voice?
I want Tracer to stay how she is. I want her to be strong, confident, and sexy. Please,PLEASE, stop trying to make this game too PC. Stop trying to make women like me out to be sensitive babies that can't handle beautiful women. Stop trying to cater to "families" when this game isn't meant to be played by younger children.
Stop snuffing out my voice!
Edit: Since I have to prove myself constantly:
Do I post on KiA? Yes, because I am a firm believer that video games are an art, and need to stop pandering to the PC crowd that do not actually play any of these games. My opinions are my opinions, and they should not be invalidated simply because of subreddits I browse.
I'm a grown adult that can make my own decisions, and simply because I disagree with the PC police does not mean I'm trolling.
Edit 2: Other characters in the game use the exact same pose. Why aren't people calling for them to be removed because they're "sexist"/boring/whatever excuse? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Ceq0ec7WsAMUK-x.jpg
Also, TotalBiscuit made satire video on the issue:
Frankly, this shit is getting out of hand, and it really just exemplifies how pathetically infantile these complaints are. The pose we're talking about here is one of the most classic examples of character stance (in paintings as well) that you'll see. It's horseshit, and Blizzard needs to get their shit together. It's a game about fucking killing. What the hell.
