Controversy and Celebration: Overwatch's LGBTQ+ Representation.

Some Overwatch players are upset over the revelation that hero Baptiste is bisexual, with some expressing homophobic views on the game's official forums. However, others are pointing out that the flirtatious interaction between Baptiste and another hero, Lifeweaver, hinted at his sexuality months ago. Some fans are also questioning whether the game's creators made Baptiste and other characters queer to appease upset players over the nerfing of the game's story mode. Blizzard's upcoming Pride event in Overwatch 2 has also sparked debate, with some praising the company's support for the LGBTQ+ community and others questioning its motives.
