I'm sure some of you know of the bullshit that happened due to feminists finding a problem with the Overwatch character Tracer, and a pose she had in game. People got all pissy and "muh sexulisation of women" was thrown around everywhere. Blizzard decided they were going to remove the pose and replace it, much to the delight of feminists. Here's the pose they got removed.

Best part is the new pose is ripped directly from a 50s pinup. Blizzard doubled down on the triggering

This is a pinup girl pose from the 60's or something

I am 99% sure of that.

>>
>>70230005
It's just so perfect.

Funny thing is that both "sides" are actually pretty happy with it, since one side sees it as a harmless fun pose, and the other sees it as an even sexier pose than it was before.
>>
>>70229864

Developers have the freedom to do whatever they want.

But I have the right to call out ham-fisted dumb shit. Most of that dumb shit just happens to be feminist stuff.
>>
>>70230646
They'll complain again.

And blizzard will replace the new pose with her barefoot kicking her perfect toes into the camera.

Then they'll complain again.

And blizzard will pour chocolate sauce on the feet or something and release a press statement about how they're confused about what is sexy and what isn't but they think they've hit a good balance.
>>
nobody complained the pose was too sexy
blizzard just wants us to believe that someone got buttmad

this is PR trickery 101

They better release the pic of her in the same clothing as that pin up, would be pretty fucking funny watching them freak out.

I could actually see them do and say that with complete honesty. Amusing either way.

New pose is definitely better and actually does seem to fit the character better than the old one as well.

Well played Blizzard, you crafty fuckers

Makes no difference to me which pose is used. I have to say though, the entire affair smells of stealth-marketing, as I hadn't even heard of the game before the """controversy""" began, now we're all talking about it. Whether it was intentional or not, it seems to have worked.

Then obviously you were never the target audience to begin with.

>it takes an SJW controversy to get you informed on the gaming market
You don't play games or you don't play anything other than 2 games. Possibly singleplayer only.

Overwatch has kind of been the anticipated 'next-big-thing' for almost a year now. And you haven't even heard of it before now. So you obviously don't really play games and thus aren't really the target audience.

Which isn't some epeen shit, it's just you're not really part of the market.
>>
>>70231447
If this was all orchestrated, then their advertising department people deserve raises.

I'd not heard anything about this before the pose issue, but that was enough to get me to watcha couple of trailers and whatnot, so now I'm interested enough to at least keep an eye on it till it comes out

That's fine but where's my fucking beta invite?

I didn't know of the game, the "controversy" happened, now I know of the game. This advertising worked, which is the point.
Now fuck off back to /v/

>>70230410
Ass looked flat in the original, the new one is definitely sexier.

They genuinely improved it. Im glad something good came of the sjw bitching for once.

Crafty Jews at Blizzard. I bet the 'mom' was a Blizzard employee.
>>
>>70231447
I reckon your right, I can actually see these results myself.

Before this whole ploy, I only really heard hear say of what overwatch was, I didnt really care. I looked into it once I heard, saw the two poses, then asked my friend if he was getting it (he was) so I pre ordered. oh well.
