In Overwatch ’s latest holiday-themed comic, Overwatch ’s mascot character Lena “Tracer” Oxton has been revealed as a lesbian - or at the very least, as a woman in a relationship with another woman whom she lives with and for whom she buys gifts.
Much fan reaction at the news that Tracer is a member of the LGBT community is overwhelmingly positive:

In a statement to Kotaku, Blizzard wrote , “As in real life, having variety in our characters and their identities and backgrounds helps create a richer and deeper overall fictional universe. From the beginning, we’ve wanted the universe of Overwatch to feel welcoming and inclusive, and to reflect the diversity of our players around the world. As with any aspect of our characters’ backgrounds, their sexuality is just one part of what makes our heroes who they are. From the very beginning of our work on Tracer’s story, it just felt right to make this an aspect of her character.”
Of course, it’s not fandom without people wedged so deep in “the Nile,” not even the crocodiles can squeeze them out:

Though Blizzard mentioned that several characters in the Overwatch roster were LGBTQ in 2015, it never specified which characters in particular. That conversation resurfaced Nov. 4 at BlizzCon , when a fan asked the Overwatch team at a Q&A session whether there were plans to actually follow through on that tease.
Here's how Michael Chu, lead writer on Overwatch , responded :
In the wake of these comments, fans have taken to places like Reddit and Blizzard's forums to discuss which characters they think are LGBTQ. Will Zarya — who already has a vocal fanbase celebrating her as a gay icon — be revealed to be canonically lesbian? Or will Lúcio, the freedom-loving DJ who has a voice line in which he advocates for people to "live as they choose," be shown in a same-sex relationship? Could he be a trans man?
"They mention 'plural' [LGBTQ Overwatch characters], and if Zarya isn't one, I'm going to be very upset indeed," Redditor happon wrote in the /r/gaymers subreddit in response to one user complaining that Zarya was too stereotypically lesbian. "She's coded lesbian, and she's an actual positive character. You never see [gender non-conforming] lesbians presented in a positive way. Zarya being loud and lesbian and proud would be amazing. And contrary to popular belief, us lesbians do want this kind of 'stereotypical' representation."
Another commenter in the /r/Overwatch subreddit said they hoped Mei would be established as canonically gay, particularly in light of the way she coldly tells Junkrat to "look somewhere else" when he makes a remark about her winter clothing.
Mostly, the /r/Overwatch subreddit seems to be filled with humorous, lighthearted comments in between the legitimate speculation. One user, Thorrissey1 , suggested McCree get a Brokeback Mountain -themed "I wish I knew how to quit you" voice line. Someone else joked that Junkrat's line in which he remarks that he's "on top now" is more than just a declaration of dominance in battle.
There are a few other comments , though, questioning more fundamentally why Blizzard needs to bring a character's sexuality into the equation at all. Mostly, these comments revolve around the concern that a character's sexuality being "shoehorned" into a storyline would equate to empty tokenism.
In almost every case, these comments seem to be refuted and shot down rather than reinforced. For example, redditor le_sweetie_man said:
Whenever Blizzard reveals an Overwatch character as LGBTQ, either through a comic or a new animated short, Mic will keep you updated.

The first two characters you meet when you play Overwatch are Soldier: 76 and Tracer - and now both of them have been revealed as LGBT.
Soldier: 76 is the latest to have been confirmed as gay in a short story by Michael Chu , the lead writer for the online game.
He's one of the most popular characters in the online shooter, which has millions of players worldwide.
Tracer, who players meet alongside Soldier: 76 in the game's tutorial, was confirmed as a gay character in 2016.
Ed Nightingale, a gay gamer from London, hopes representing a "very macho, typically masculine character" as LGBT will help promote acceptance of LGBT people in other gamers.
"Gaming is a really powerful way of educating people," he tells Radio 1 Newsbeat.
"When you're playing through a game and not just watching or reading it, you are actively involved in it and therefore actively involved in a character that is so different from yourself - that has really great educational benefits."
In late 2018, a group of gamers were given a permanent ban from Fallout 76 after they were filmed "hunting" LGBT gamers and using homophobic language on voice chat while playing.
And since the newest digital comic was published, homophobic slurs have been posted on social media regarding Soldier: 76's newly revealed sexuality.
Ed says incidents like these are why LGBT representation in mainstream games like Overwatch is important.
"People want to play games online and they want it to be a safe space, and I think gaming is typically seen as the domain of straight white men and anyone outside of that norm is unfortunately vulnerable to attack.
"It's really sad that these things happen, but online, on social media, on Reddit, these things sadly do continue."
Many players have celebrated Soldier: 76's news, but others think revealing him as LGBT nearly three years after the game's release feels like an afterthought.
Just found out that Overwatch has confirmed that Soldier 76 is gay. Would have liked it when it was announced much early in it's release, years ago. It just feels like an after thought rather than a genuine push for queer representation in games.
"Is it too much to expect a developer to have thought through their character from the very beginning?" Ed says.
One person pointed out on Twitter that publisher Blizzard Entertainment may have been hinting at Soldier: 76's sexuality since 2016.

The sexuality of Overwatch characters is only explored in comic books and doesn't impact on gameplay, so Soldier: 76 being LGBT will likely pass by casual players who just want to grab a controller and shoot things.
And while Blizzard has been praised for the inclusive approach to their creations, the company was criticised in 2018 when developers introduced a hamster in a giant ball as a playable character before a black woman was available to play.
