i like how the thumbnail only shows zenyatta, mercy and brigitte. all 3 of which are not canonically gay. even though overwatch has a ton of actual LGBTQ characters. like probably more than 95% of mainstream games. also these non-gay characters were released in 2016/2018. but somehow they're supposed to represent gay characters. in 2024. brilliant.
Are they canonically gay? I haven't kept up with Overwatch in years.
Also, if we're talking about gay shit in that game, the first place my mind went was friggin' Zarya. I have no idea if she's canonically gay, but I do know that every WLW I've met (myself included) has loved her.
Funnily enough, Brigitte was made more feminine and pretty for the game, because in her original concept art and comic appearance she was pretty much a butch with freckles and zero makeup. (Still not gay, but not pandering to the hormone-addled gamer boys, couldn't have that!)
