What does it matter if it was planned from the start? Canon changes constantly, especially in a canon like Overwatch that is still being shaped. I am pretty sure Tracer was never planned to be a lesbian but they saw that people were championing for the idea and made it so.

And I would not be surprised at all if the OW team decided to make Reaper76 (or any of the popular ships) canon if they can make it believable. They are very supportive and involved in the fan community.

I would rather there be good writing from something that veered in a different direction that planned than shitty writing that was always planned.

Not saying this is that, just that changing direction isn't bad.

Yes, this! So much this. I think it's a good thing that they're flexible in moving forward, because early on, story/characterization wasn't always good. The character designs were great, there were some beautiful bits of story, but there was also a lot of stuff that just fell apart if you poked it. I like that they're wanting to go back and make some things more character driven and less based on cliches or on a thing looking cool.

"And I would not be surprised at all if the OW team decided to make Reaper76 (or any of the popular ships) canon if they can make it believable."

If Blizzard handles the OW lore the way they've manhandled WoW lore, then I wouldn't hold my breath. That said, if they actually make any of the m/m ships canon I'll eat several hats in utter shock, because the player base is fine with lesbians, but mlm is apparently too gross to be tolerated.

(Which probably means that the most likely m/m will be Roadrat.)

Which probably means that the most likely m/m will be Roadrat.

Which can be sweet if handled right. But I'm all for McCree/Hanzo becoming canon. x3

Ugh, no. They have no canon basis for ANYTHING. And it's SO cliche and OVER DONE. And the fandom got ridiculously pushy about it.

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT, I'd be fine with any of the popular m/m ships for Overwatch EXCEPT that one. Besides the unfortunate implications you're hinting at, I've always found the idea of that relationship in particular to be kind of squicky.

[kaijinscendre]

A lot of the Reddit fanbase (at least) seems to be fine with some slash pairings. The minority is hateful but the majority is just like, "Whatever."

Blizzard is going to follow the money, and the money in games isn't the edgelord slaktivists who complain about that kind of thing.

That said, Blizzard is second only to Disney in turning out market-triangulation blandness.
