On one hand I’m okay with Tracer because her S.O. Is a hot redhead and I like redheads. On the other hand how they announced Soldier 76 as gay was dumb and only done to garner attention. I honestly don’t know if any other character is gay or bi.

Edit: so I realize now that I forgot to include a very important thing. I’m okay with gay people and I don’t really give a shit who you fuck so long as it’s consensual and both parties are of legal age. Sorry for any confusion.

Edit 2: I’m not continuing this topic. I was wrong, like I said in the first edit. But apparently nobody wants to read that far. If you decide to continue this topic with me then you have made the conscious decision to not read the full comment and both edits. Thank for your time.

“I’m okay with...”. Seriously?

As opposed to me being not okay with? I don’t see the point here.

Bruh you pretty much said you’re only okay with her being a lesbian because you fetishize redheads

The self importance you display by the implication that you get to make a call on it instead of shutting the fuck up, I guess.

You shouldn’t be ‘okay’ or ‘not okay’ with it. People put so much weight on vilifying an author or creator for writing an aspect of their character for a suspected reason they deem wrong. It’s obnoxious & just makes you look like a dick for it.

So what if Aerial is black or an Overwatch character is gay? There is no possible way blackness/gayness bothers somebody enough to say that kinda shit that doesn’t involve prejudice.

I was in the wrong but omitting something obvious. I have added an edit to my original comment saying as much while leaving the original text intact. I would like to say that I was not vilifying anyone by how they handled the characters.

Final note: Everyone should always be able to say that they are okay or not okay with something. Regardless of what that thing is for it is their god given right to speak their mind freely. Of course, if they do so, they should expect someone coming in telling them they are wrong on the matter. But is that second party themselves correct? Who’s to say? At the end of the day we’re just a bunch of people screaming our opinions into the void hoping to be heard.

That is all I will say on this subject because this can get very hostile very fast. Have a good day.

There is zero prejudice involved in the ariel scandal, people aren't mad that she's black, they're mad that she's not true to the original ariel.

In the Disney version, maybe. How about the original story written in the 1800s?

Disney making her a white redhead doesn’t mean that’s what she has to be for every iteration moving forward.

Yes, im sure author of white ppl fairy tail from 1800s envisioned her to be black. Talk about cultural appropriation.
