Greetings fellow denizens!

Gency is still shit and it sucks but I’ll be back at a later time.

Things that are better than Gency

Giving Mercy actual character development and letting her exist as a character in her own right, instead of just making her “Genji’s Girlfriend”.

[heroes-never-discourse]

I remember seeing posts about Genji x Mercy getting people riled up cause heteronormative bs from the unused voice Valentine events. Some say the pairing is racist. How is a Japanese man and a Swiss woman in love with each other racist again?

I haven’t really heard the racist part, but usually if it’s a ship involving Mercy with a person of color they say it’s racist because Mercy’s white ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (*cough*it’s usually just to justify a ship war*cough*)

Problematic because Mercy was Genji’s doctor is like, the only legitimate complaint I could see levied at the ship, because Mercy did save his life and you could get into the whole “they’re together because he owes her” shit or whatever, but that’s stretching it. And is only a reason to dislike the ship, not harass others for shipping it.

Gency’s one of my NOTPs, actually. I’ve tried liking it but it just bugs me for some reason. Probably because Pharmercy is one of my top OTPs. Which is also why Gency garners so much undue hate - there’s a particular subset of Pharmercy shippers that are just n a s t y to Gency shippers because the ships share Mercy and one is wlw while the other is het (and, unfortunately, has a higher chance of being canon ;~;).

But it’s still ridiculous. Just another pointless ship war.

remember when tracers girlfriend was introduced in the christmas comic and het shippers tried to make it about genji sending mercy a letter? good times :)))

Gency shippers: Come en masse to a post that had nothing to do with Gency, took a great big shit all over it, came into our tags and started fights and arguments with us and on Twitter (and one of them even invaded my DMs just to try to school me, a half-Chinese person, on Chinese mythology).

Also Gency Shippers: OMG!!! You guys are being so childish! Why are you fighting?! I mean, just because we posted hate all over one of your posts and keep posting hate in your tags doesn’t mean we should keep arguing. It’s 2018! Can we please get along?

And P.S: We refuse to take responsibility for our actions and we did nothing wrong either 😎 ✌️ ☮️

No seriously, go fuck yourselves. I’ve had enough. I will not be nice about it anymore. I hate Gency, and most of the people who ship it too.

I just find it interesting that the first thing people do when images of Concept Mercy are revealed is come after the Pharmercy fandom and use it as yet another excuse to attack us.

And while it is true that Pharmercy and other ships involving Male!Mercy wouldn’t have gained as much traction, due to fandom’s tendency to marginalize moc and black men in particular, I’m just glad that the Pharmercy fandom seems to be taking it in stride.

I’ve hardly seen any complaints about Male!Mercy, and some of us have even been supportive of him, and the ship in that incarnation too.

Meanwhile, the shippers of that Other Mercy Ship (you know the one) are going on rants in their tags and being horribly homophobic, and exhibiting a thinly veiled racism towards Grace/Angelo/Concept Mercy too.

Yet they’re not being subjected to the same amount of scrutiny we are.

🤔

The fact that a Gënçy shipper actually thinks incel is a slur is the funniest shit on the planet

And they did so while ignoring all of the homophobia and sexism and threats from their side

And how they’ve gone out of their way to piss all over the Pharmercy and McHanzo shippers happiness, simply because they can’t handle the fact that even the game director isn’t a fan of their ship
