"It's not fun, its not silly, it has nothing to do with being a fast elite killer. "What about this pose has anything to do with the character you're building in ?" Fipps said. But her "over the shoulder" victory pose seems out of place. Her body seems to be comprised of about 95% spunk."įipps notes that the majority of the artwork and videos for Tracer support those character traits. When we look at the way she's portrayed in promotional media, lore, and art in game we know a few things about her: She's fast. From a marketing standpoint, she's the star of the show.
"With that being said, lets talk about Tracer. "From Mei to Zarya to Widowmaker the female cast reflects a large spectrum of personalities and player fantasies," Fipps wrote. A poster by the name of "Fipps" posted a lengthy critique of Tracer's pose, commending Blizzard for creating a "diverse, interesting, and compelling" cast of female heroes, but noting that one Tracer pose in particular seems ill-suited for the character.
The removal of the pose in question, which applies to the character Tracer, the closest thing Overwatch has had to a mascot, stemmed from a post on the game's beta feedback forums. Overwatch game director Jeff Kaplan confirmed the removal on the game's forums, saying the developer will "continue to try to do better." The creators of Overwatch are facing a new controversy, this time over a butt.īlizzard said today it will remove a victory pose from its upcoming shooter Overwatch after receiving feedback from a player who criticized the pose as overly sexualized and unbefitting the character's personality.
