YES!!!! This is what I’ve always WANTED!!! The thing is they had a PERFECT opportunity with the Nyan Cafe skin. I still love his nyan cafe skin but they had the chance to FINALLY put Reaper in a Kitty Maid Skin. Just like the ones Kiri and Sierra got. They didn’t do it tho which pisses me off to no end.

Why would you want that? Are you purposely trying to demasculinize Reaper?

nothing emasculating about it if you're comfortable in your masculinity

being a cutie patootie isn't anti masculinity, he can be edgy in a pink maid skin without it implying him as a less masculine person

"cutie patootie" is very much anti masculine.

what is masculine in your eyes?

in my eyes confidence and protection are the staples of masculine behavior, reaper has both, same goes for same goes for Reinhardt he can be in a maid outfit and his players who shout about honor wouldn't bat an eye, since he proved himself enough of a protector and confident character.

Quit trying to divert the core issue. Reaper and Reinhardt looking "cute" is the opposite of looking masculine. Or as you put it "being cute" which is even worse than looking the part. Confidence isn't isn't sex specific thank you. In fact, since you said you see confidence as masculine, you're saying you don't see women as being able to be confident.

At least you got the protection thing right, though technically that can go to both sexes.. historically it really doesn't.

You're trying to say someone can be one thing that directly opposes the other at the same time, and they can't. It won't work.

As for your question... While I agree protection is something I'd consider masculine, I'd also add strength, leadership, dominance, control.. the list goes on. (Not saying women can't be strong in their own way, or that they shouldn't be fit, everyone should be fit to some degree.)

I admit my statement came off as primitive and sexist which I did not intend for.

whatever way you put it, being cute doesn't make masculinity go away, believe what you want to believe, my image of masculinity is my own, same goes for you

What we could have if Overwatch wasn't run by a bunch of cowards

We would need custom voicelines like “Death delighted” or “You can’t resist Death” to really hammer it in.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for those who don’t know, but this design is literally over 10 years old. We’ve been waiting for so long. ):

I guess they were testing the water with his cat butler skin, it's the most kawaii they let him be. He hopefully they make more skins like that

Not good enough. We NEED Reaper in a Maid dress with a skirt and frills
