Widow maker has nothing to do with it, since the digital booty is part of her vamp, femme fatale character design. It is becoming increasingly clear that people are just providing their hot take on the subject without reading up on the discussion and Blizzards response. They see “the sexy pose was removed” and just to the reasons they think it took place. So like you are saying Widowmaker pose is fine because she is a slut and Tracer is not because it doesn`t fits her character? Last time I`ve checked this is a shooting videogame. Also do you think at any point a small kid looks at the game (girl) and thinks of the char`s butt or I just don`t see correct things? http://overwatch.blizzplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/windowmaker-victory-pose-4-over-the-shoulder.png Like I might be totaly wrong in how I view things honestly fishing for a different pov that makes sense here. | ||

Is it my job to educate you on stuff that can be found through a light google search? | ||

When can the hardcore gaming community finally admit the fact is will always be mainly male orientated, and males like small to large quantities of sexualization in their games So do females | ||

Give it a couple of decades and hardcore female gamers won't be seen as anomalies. Yeah, that's why competitive sports and gambling are full of women... There will be "more" women yes, but it will always be male dominated and male orientated. And ironically the women who are attracted to the male dominated spaces are attracted to them, because of the way they are, they dont want them to change for them either... | ||

McCree has the same pose and so does Hanzo. How does it fit those two characters more than Tracer? | ||

So if one out of who knows how many skins/poses/whatever is a little bit different / shows a different side of a character (which is arguable in this one case in the first place) then it shouldn't be in the game? So characters aren't allowed to have many facettes, that alone is quite the poor pov and shows how far behind videogames still are. | ||

Its only a huge deal if you want to view it as this larger trend of Blizzard listening to people who have different opinions on what they are looking for in a game. Then it’s the sudden realization that maybe you are not the center of Blizzard’s attention any more. | ||

Hey trust me, I'd love to see Blizzard panic if their old school core gamers left all at once, they had a mini seizure with D3 which resulted in a completely different team making RoS, WoWs barely holding new players and core players and if other games are any kind of indicator Overwatch will have a big ol launch and then devolve into an angry team shooter, which is likely to scare off that new market they might be going for, either they'll accept a competitive volatile scene or we'll get to watch yet another company try to "manage" gamer attitudes and language, that'll be fun, always is. | ||

An argument many people are making is simply over the shoulder doesn't fit her character. But many of these poses really have nothing to do with the hero. They're just poses. | ||

The argument is the over the shoulder pose doesn't fit her character because of the sexual overtones of that pose/posture. You don't run into the same problem with McCree and Hanzo because, despite also being seen from behind, their pose/posture is different and reads "badass, brooding MFers". | ||
