After the reveal of Overwatch's first non-binary hero, a new skin was released

 

[Peroroncino]

[Hawk The Slayer]

The fuck is that abomination.

 

[acm2000]

would smash

 

[salva]

 

[Spirit Icana]

What's that thing's it's holding? It looks like......... ITS MANHOOD!!!!

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

 

[jshackles]

Imagine looking at this and thinking to yourself "yeah, I wanna spend money so I can look like that"

 

[PauloRoberto]

would smash

In its face with a chair, I suppose.

 

[Liopleurodon]

He looks so ugly.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

And people feel sorry about the ongoing layoffs

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

 

[willothedog]

Bring on the fluggegecheimen!

 

[Brock2621]

wtf brooooooooooo lololol

 

[Topher]

That's not Blizzard.

This is Blizzard

 

[peish]

looks like what i expected

 

[ssringo]

I'm only surprised this is the first. I checked out of Blizzard games almost entirely a while back.

Edit: oh, I misread. The character has been around. Just the first skin.

Is this real or AI? This is hilariously awful loooool. Not ad bad as that concord character, but still absolutely horrid.

I don't care if it is nonbinary. It is ugly. It is funny when companies try to stereotype a group of people. There are a lot of lesbians that are not bald and non-binary people that do not have pink/purple hair. If I was in a protected group, I would probably be more offended by how they represent me than if they did not represent me at all.

The "Prince Adam" cut is making a comeback in 2026!!

 

[mdkirby]

it's so bizarre, we've seen the sort of advice these companies get from consultants on things like this (via the insomniac hack/leak), and it explicitly says "do not make the characters diversity their entire character", yet that's what these companies keep bloody doing…in this case they've made their non binary manifest in the visual design itself, it's the opposite of what they are told to do, and it just pisses people off…I can't imagine non binary people would be thrilled by this either.

I'm autistic and adhd, and if they announced "here's our first AuDHD character" and they flew around on a giant hovering fidget spinner, their costume was a puzzle piece in the colors of the autism flag, they wore headphones, and flapped their hands, and their special move was called "hyper focus", I would feel like they were 100% taking the piss. This is what this character comes across as.

Maybe there's someone here that's non binary and can weigh in.

 

[WhiskeyDiver]

A drilldo + codpiece combo weapon design. How progressive and forward thinking.

All snark aside, the skin just looks god awful.

 

[GymWolf]

 

[Pop]

So thats how liberals see them, ugly freaks

 

[Spirit Icana]

Open wide...

...and in it goes.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

I like the giant butt plug for a weapon

Bring on the fluggegecheimen!

The what? The Reichsflugscheiben? What do Nazi UFOs have to do with it?

 

[Fake]

 

[Peroroncino]

Guys, you're being so ignorant right now. That's clearly the iconic ButtDriller 2000, defeater of the cis patriarchy. Please educate yourselves.

 

[struggler_guts]

the irony of the design being a binary black/silver

 

[Touch fuzZy. get BizZay]

they only did this because u guys were complaining about woke

 

[MrRibeye]

Same smile

Blizzard has a 'tool' they use for their characters:

I think it's safe to say that their view on this differs from companies like Insomniac.

 

[f~N_CH_1:3:3:3_SushiBoat]

Of course a purple butt plug....of course....

 

[Disciple of MSSP]

They is about to drill your ass with that thing

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

This would be a premium skin in Concord's Season 2. It's a plethora of woke tokens smashed together:

- Ugly + black (no pretty blacks in the non-racist world of wokies)

- Amorphous body

- Purple orgy

- A fucking giant vibrator as weapon

 

[Plague Doctor]

Damn shame the entire Western AAA dev space is cratering with layoffs in real time.

Damn shame.

 

[clarky]

Seems like a few folks off the Concord team actually got hired.

 

[falconhoof]

When you slide Body Type A and Type B to 50% each.

 

[ahtlas7]

Has too many legs

 

[JusticeForAll]

Almost looks like it could be satire.

 

[Meicyn]

This is the art for the character. It actually looks great IMO. That specific skin in the OP, on the other hand? It's garish and awful. I don't understand how that was greenlit.

 

[Puscifer]

Its hilarious that the Japanese can effortlessly make gender bending look awesome but the west just can't for the life of them. Nahobino had a look in and out of his Demon form that if they didn't explictly say he was a guy he'd a perfect example of just making a character for both genders.

 

[DR3AM]

I can fix (him/her)
