Something I noticed

Jack is revealed as gay/bi/pan via a naturally occurring conversation

Blizzard then explicitly and in extra large front refers to same gender love as a normal life

Folks…

Is Gabe stalking Vincent and his new family? Or is this Gabe’s family?

It was the goddess Bastet. A guardian.

You know, I’ve noticed something about representation in Overwatch.

They don’t make a big song and dance about it. They just insert it into the lore, unannounced.

Symmetra being on the autistic spectrum, Tracer being gay, D.Va having PTSD, Soldier 76 being attracted to men.

These are things that we were shown within the lore, not announced ahead of time to drum up publicity or pander to these demographics.

This is what real representation looks like.
