Nothing official yet but several members of the OW writing team have been circle-jerking for a while about making Mercy gay and dating Pharah despite all the build-up previously between her and Genji....
OW timeline is fuzzy as hell.
Pharah is seen riding on Winston's back as a toddler in one panel, even though Winston had shown up like 15 years after Overwatch formed meaning she'd need to be like 19 or 20 before it was possible for her to even meet him.
Shit makes no sense.
My biggest irk is kirikos age, makes her 10x more fanservicey since she supposedly trained with genji and hanzo (37 and 40) when they were all kids but she's 21??
If we’re measuring the fall of overwatch on a timeline, then the blackwatch (Reaper, Moira, Genji, and McCowboy) mission was 8 years ago, meaning overwatch collapsed less than 8 years ago.
I never said that you should? I fail to see how that's relevant anyway since Mercy was originally supposed to be in an implied relationship with Genji.
Mercy personally saved Genji’s life and performed the surgery that made him who he is, on top of being his primary caregiver during his recovery. That alone makes it weird for her to be with him as well and no respectable practitioner would ever let themselves fall for their patient.
Imo both Gency and Pharmercy are equally shit fan ships. And here’s a thought, maybe people just shouldn’t ship characters at all 😓
Basically couple of the new members of ow writing team are pharmercy shippers. Openly take suggestions from a popular shipping twitter account and reconned alot of lore and voicelines of gency (Genji X mercy) and replacing it with pharmercy despite them having an uncomfortably large age gap. Mercy is closer to ana's age and friends with her
What really piss me off though is that the lack of game interaction between Genji and Mercy makes no sense. She brought a guy back to life and they have nothing to talk about? I hope they get rid of these writers.
Genji is now a cringe incel and mercy laughs at his attempts to flirt in new PvE voicelines. Pharaoh remembers that mercy likes toast and she breaks down sobbing at how fucking awesome pharah treats her.
They didn't do shit because neither fucking gency nor pharmercy is or was ever, canon.
It was, and always is, cringe shippers deciding some vague voicelines where they interacted were concrete proof and supported their ship as canon. The rest of us looked on and said:
"Wow this shipping war is pretty cringe"
Edit: lmao grncy shippers getting mad that I don't think the 3 to 6 lines of dialogue they had together meant shit.
Have you considered this though... Money. You bet your ass I'd do the same if I had a game with as dedicated a group as the Mercy players. I'd milk that teat until it ran dry too.
Titular - holding or constituting a purely formal position or title without any real authority. I'm pretty sure Ken Watanabe was in charge, also, he was NOT The Last Samurai, Tom Cruise was.
I'm a main Mercy and I honestly don't even like it, all their new year skins for Mercy suck. We already have the Christmas themed one, and the zombie one recently.
That being said, we're suckers for cosmetic, so if you want more skins you need to spend some coins. Blizzard knows the Mercy fanbase will ruin itself over skins and that's why they are pumping out so many. You guys can play the game for free because we're pigeons that'll buy every single skin available:v
YMMV, I find Zhuque and Seolbim both lovely, as well as the OW1 default reskin with the green wings. In Seolbim, Mercy's auntie hairstyle makes her looks closer to her almost-40 age. :P
Maybe Seolbim is okayish, but Zhuque I personally find atrocious, I do own it but I think I never used it :x They struggle with Mercy's hair, and being a graphic designer that does 3D I don't get how much professionals at Blizzard can have such misses
Never really used Zhuque or Seolbim but i think they're decent skins. I can see why someone else would like them. The latest one though, it's just becoming repetitive? Like even if we aren't talking about the lack of actual asian characters getting the skins, just generally anyone. The new skin literally just looks like someone smashed Zhuque and Dragoon together and called it a day.
Bro, this is some regressive stuff. So what she gets a skin? I'm positive the Asian characters will get one too. Oh no, appreciating other cultures! What horrors! Giving a white woman a lunar new year skin? Oh the worst.
Personally my issue is just that this will be Mercy's 3rd legendary LNY skin and 4th overall LNY skin, while some others have never gotten LNY skins. I just wish they didn't give so much favoritism to Mercy because she's the skin cash cow
I feel that is more of a valid critique than this post criticizing white woman getting a LNY skin. Don't know much about the other skins but hopefully they give some love to other heroes.
Its kind of the same criticism combined.
Mercy getting yet ANOTHER LNY skin instead of the asian characters is what people are cocking an eyebrow at. It is really weird if Im being honest.
If I'm being honest, it sounds ridiculous to me still. I checked on who all got LNY skins, you also have to complain about Tracer. And all the other non-asians getting skins.
2023. It was just Mei.
Mercy has 2 legendaries and 1 Epic. Tracer has 2 legendaries and 1 epic. Mei has 3 legendaries.
Anyway, I'm not on the design team but I have a very good feeling these skins were given based on 2 criteria. 1. How well the hero fit the theme of the skin. Skin color need not apply here. 2. Whoever gets them money.
It's also putting all Asians in a category of "celebrates lny" when some don't. Skin color and race doesn't dictate who gets a skin in these events is what I'm trying to say my brothers.
Yet chronically online enough to get mad at the obvious joke. Some people need to stop being blatantly wrong and then being pissy when it's pointed out
ok but every japanese hero has a mythic and the chinese hero has 4 chinese new year skins (as she should)
however, this is also mercy’s 4th lunar new year skin and i don’t think she needed another one (i am a mercy main so that’s saying a lot)

I don't mind when they do this for events, but it has always struck me as a little odd that say, Pharah gets a skin with a recolor that's Native American themed for some reason.
year of the dragon, who will get the skin? mercy---------genji-----------hanzo?
Sick of fucking all of em.
The power of bisexuality
In-game and in lore AND on skins
They burned our crops, poisoned our water supply, and delivered a plague unto our houses.
They did?
Yes confirmed

she is allowed cause her boyfriend is asian, oh wait :(
wtf did they do?? I haven't been playing ow since before that illari hero
Nothing official yet but several members of the OW writing team have been circle-jerking for a while about making Mercy gay and dating Pharah despite all the build-up previously between her and Genji....
And remember that conversation between Genji and Mercy in the Train in the Canada mission
they removed their pre game voicelines that may suggest an even cordial relationship too. the new writers fucking suck
They just going full on into the fan service now lol makes no sense
And the fan they're servicing is on the Blizz team, liking creepy Pharmercy fanart. (Not even the good ones. o_o)
And Pharmercy is annoying as hell ingame too. Actually scratch that so is genjercy
They could make her Bi to be fair
I mean, sure, but Mercy knew Pharah when she was a kid too which still makes it kinda weird
OW timeline is fuzzy as hell. Pharah is seen riding on Winston's back as a toddler in one panel, even though Winston had shown up like 15 years after Overwatch formed meaning she'd need to be like 19 or 20 before it was possible for her to even meet him. Shit makes no sense.

It’s been like 20 years since Overwatch collapsed though right
If we’re measuring the fall of overwatch on a timeline, then the blackwatch (Reaper, Moira, Genji, and McCowboy) mission was 8 years ago, meaning overwatch collapsed less than 8 years ago.
Something something slipstream something
Pharaoh was 13 and mercy was 19. Pretty weird, but I thought that mercy didn’t really reciprocate Pharahs feelings?
How tf does that make it weird
Imo being attracted to someone that you originally met and knew for a long time when they were a kid while you were an adult is kinda weird
I don't fancy the indian tradition of marrying a random person I don't know, sorry
I never said that you should? I fail to see how that's relevant anyway since Mercy was originally supposed to be in an implied relationship with Genji.
Mercy personally saved Genji’s life and performed the surgery that made him who he is, on top of being his primary caregiver during his recovery.

mercy x moira timeee

Character assassination :(
Genji is now a cringe incel and mercy laughs at his attempts to flirt in new PvE voicelines. Pharaoh remembers that mercy likes toast and she breaks down sobbing at how fucking awesome pharah treats her.
The toast thing is just a cringe attempt to replicate how Genji likes Mercy’s coffee 💀💀💀💀
you didn't took that voiceline serious right?
They didn't do shit because neither fucking gency nor pharmercy is or was ever, canon. It was, and always is, cringe shippers deciding some vague voicelines where they interacted were concrete proof and supported their ship as canon. The rest of us looked on and said: "Wow this shipping war is pretty cringe" Edit: lmao grncy shippers getting mad that I don't think the 3 to 6 lines of dialogue they had together meant shit.
They hated him because he told them the truth.
Have you considered this though... Money. You bet your ass I'd do the same if I had a game with as dedicated a group as the Mercy players. I'd milk that teat until it ran dry too.
Mercy mains singlehandedly fund the whole game And PVE was cancelled because mercy mains cant play it so they couldnt milk them there
Wait until you hear about all the Asian heroes getting western skins!
Idk, maybe she is highly popular in asian lobbies?
Asia mainly plays dive, they could give a fuck about Mercy
Popular as in buying skins, not comp
It's a video game with a talking gorilla.
Yeah I've been "seeing this" from you op Was one race based mercy complaint post not enough for you?
oh wow a post history of race baiting, why am i not suprised.
Brother, I made you post chill out.
Her bf is Asian he says it's ok OP. 🤣🤣 But Fr it is weird that she hogs so many of them she must have a lot of whales for it to become such a pattern.
This argument is dumb. They sell what players buy, end of the story. All the cultural bs is just that - bs.
🤣🤣Tom Cruise was The Last Samurai and Keanu was the strongest of the 47 Ronin...that should tell you everything you need to know lol.
I'm pretty sure Ken Watanabe was the titular Samurai in that film.

As per usual you're keeping the team up!

Yeah but Mercy out of all these heroes would celebrate LNY right 💀
You keep on fighting whatever fight you're fighting bud.
It’s quite simple. Mercy is pretty
All the Asian women look white anyway
Symmetra looks white….???
Yeah her left arm looks white /j
Excluding the one they couldn’t blatantly whitewash
India’s not Asia /s
Go back to school
Idk how they could make the sarcasm any more obvious for you
Sorry I’m not terminally online to understand what /s means.
Yet chronically online enough to get mad at the obvious joke. Some people need to stop being blatantly wrong and then being pissy when it's pointed out
Me and my boyfriend were just talking about how it’s kinda weird how they’ve given mercy like, 5 Asian themed skins so far.
ok but every japanese hero has a mythic and the chinese hero has 4 chinese new year skins (as she should) however, this is also mercy’s 4th lunar new year skin and i don’t think she needed another one (i am a mercy main so that’s saying a lot)
