I'm sure many people already heard about the chaotic pose that started one hell of a discussion on Blizzard forums, but in case some of you weren't aware, I'll fill you in.
So, a couple days ago, some person (who many thought was a woman at first, turns out to be a man) found Tracer's "Over the Shoulder" pose to be... wait for it... OFFENSIVE. Making the statement that it "doesn't fit her character" and that it "looks too out of place for who she really is".
But, after reading more and more into his post, you later realize that the guy is basically saying he doesn't like that Tracer is wearing skin tight pants because it's showing her rear end more than anything else.
This is the pose I am talking about:
I am not going to go too into detail about my thoughts because I already did that here:
My Rant
But for those who don't feel like reading a lengthy blog post, I'll just shorten my answer.
I'm truly disappointed that they decided to take this pose out.
I'm still getting the game, I think it's fvcking stupid for those who are already announcing that they're "canceling" their pre-order (despite we all know how truthful that is), despite that I am unhappy with the decision of taking something that had hours of work go into it. Jeff Kapaln, one of the main guys who works on Overwatch, made a statement claiming that they were uncertain about keeping the pose in the game long before this problem came up. My issue with his statement is that they really didn't need to tie in that issue with this person's issue.
Another beef with the issue is the fact that they used their kid in with their complaint. I'm fairly certain that this person's kid is under the appropriate age to play this game (even though I know we live in a world where age hardly makes a difference). The guy sits here and says that he would like his child to grow up with the game. It's nice to know that kids want to grow up with killers.
That's all I have to say about it. I know it shouldn't be that big of a deal to complain, but it really bothers me that someone like this got what they want. It just reminds me too much of Mortal Kombat with all the complaints and changes that were made to it. Meh, that's my two cents. Comment if you want, there's like 54 days left before the game is released!
