It's not about people complaining, though. Being hysterical that the whiners are getting their way is silly, because that isn't actually the situation here.

Much more likely, it's Blizzard having a look at its characters, and deciding that this character shouldn't be sexualised. And that's perfectly fine. The arse picture spectacularly misses the point. Seeing as Overwatch does have somewhat sexualised characters, this isn't showing that Blizzard is deadly afraid of upsetting anyone. It's that some characters shouldn't be sexualised.

Blizzard is clearly trying to have characters that fit everyone's taste, and their statement makes that rather clear.

"We want *everyone* to feel strong and heroic in our community."

That means having female characters that aren't sexualised. It also means having some female characters who are sexualised, and those are there in Overwatch. Just as in the real world, some of the women are somewhat sexualised, while others are not.
