Maybe all this was just started by a troll who wanted attention. It's too late now though, the company cut themselves and their work over a demand of a grievance monger and the internet smelled the blood.

You do realize they put in the replacement pose, and it's based on an old 50's pinup, right?

And that said pinup pose was done before the shitstorm erupted. Thus proving that said shitstorm was indeed over nothing.

@Selvokaz, Don't delete and repost comments to get around a downvote.

The debate about over-sexualization of female characters is one worth having, and it's nice to see the internet kick the shit out of Blizzard for it, but why is everyone complaining about Tracer's ass when it fits her character to have a tight and shapely butt for running and looking over the shoulder suits her character because they're evocative of her running past you, and more importantly when we could be complaining about Widowmaker's generic boobs ass design that says nothing about her gameplay style like Tracer's does? Everything about Tracer says "fast" from her slicked back hair to her free-runner style belts keeping her clothes tight and windscreen-esque goggles, but Widowmaker's design says boobs and ass. The only thing about her that says sniper is the rifle and the only thing that says climbs walls is the spider tattoo. She should have Doctor Octopus style robot legs and pitons for feet or something.

You know, no, no it isn't worth having. It's not important. I have no idea why anyone thinks it is. It's a minor thing that doesn't matter in the grand or even minor scheme of things. it isn't even worth half the controversy it gets just like most of the "controversies" we face nowadays.

It has zero effect. On anything.

Th fact that they ended up replacing the "offending" pose with a pose that's just as if not more "sexual" just proves how stupid this whole debacle has been and how ridiculous a this has become.

It was just a minor development change but blizzard just HAD to announce it and pretend like they were taking some kind of "stand" and link it to a stupid post. But so much shit has erupted over this non-issue in the past the we had to go ballistic.

I'm just waiting for this wave of political correctness to pass. It happened before, and it might happen again in 30 years, who knows. But it's a fad. And it's gotten old
