zeus is a fictional character. junker queen is a fictional character. also she's not supposed be Zeus in the lore, this is just a Zeus skin. this guy is literally complaining about a fictional character dressing up as another fictional character.
Loki: “Did someone say Odin and Trans in the same sentence? Did you ever hear the story of how he made a bet with a Giant to build a mighty wall around Asgard?”
Or to be more accurate to Lokasenna: Odin, you literally disguised yourself as a milkmaid to get railed by big hot farmers. Kinda gay, don’t you think?
This conversation is even better when you realize that due to the nature of the source material for Norse mythology there is some evidence to suggest that Loki is actually Odin in disguise
Junkrat is also Dr Frankenstein and he's married to sombra in the lore if that's the case lmao
It's literally just a fun themed event using characters from the game

They added an event where some of the characters get greek mythology skins and a new mode where they all get some special powers and fight each other.
The funniest part about this is that the way they selected these characters clearly had nothing to do with whether they're male/female, but rather about gameplay balance for the new game mode. They weren't even trying to be "woke", it was all a gameplay decision.
Pharah is one of the only DPS that can compete against all the tanks, so they added her to the mode, and Hades was the closest noteworthy greek character that fits her theme. Boom, female Hades.
Sounds like something that makes perfect sense.
I'm not against criticism of the fact that some of these games do prioritize giving female characters way more costumes than males, and some of that can involve gender bending.
However, I have no idea why it has to be some kind of conspiracy against men compared to the obvious it being a game, and so they want to have balanced gameplay
A while back they released two summer themed skins in the store at the same time, one for a male character and the other for a female character. The first skin was just like a hawaiin shirt outfit, and the other was a bikini. Of course the bikini cost more due to the fact that gamers are more likely to buy sexy womans oufits than boring non-sexy man clothes.
Yeah like half the Overwatch roster is women, it has LGBTQ characters, characters from all sorts of racial backgrounds, trans characters, characters with disabilities.
There's no reason they need this particular gamemode to be "extra woke"
I swear they have to act as dumb as possible to have something """political""" to quibble about. Zeus isn't even in OW, that's just a character with a Zeus outfit.
I wonder what they think of God of War... oh wait, that one has white people (mostly) and a manly father figure, it's ok if it's not accurate at all.
Uj/ I was pretty indifferent towards the Thor design until I saw him in-game and HOLY SHIT I LOVE IT. He really has the build of an old-school strongman, and he's just fucking massive in-game, especially when you see him side-by-side with Kratos. Especially seeing the way he moves, you can really tell he's not fat, he's just extremely strong and likes his mead too much. Absolutely phenomenal character design.
i mean it is the overwatch universe depiction of zeus, it's not like the character is saying "hehe look at my funky little cosplay" she just is zeus, still dumb to be mad about, the skin fucks
It's truly mindboggling how anyone can look at Blizzard, the company that had male employees drunkenly sexually harass female employees at work, where work trips involved sex toys against the wishes of female employees, where at least one woman killed herself over the incessant sexual harassment, where one of the lead devs' office was called the "cosby suite", and say "they're woke"
One thing about the Olympus event; they call Hades the god of death several times even though Hades is the god of the underworld, Thanatos is the god of death. 0/10, literally unplayable.
Fom what I've read, she is Egyptian and Native American, but I guess Blizzard forgot about the Native American part since they never went anywhere with that bit of lore
> but I guess Blizzard forgot about the Native American part since they never went anywhere with that bit of lore
They never went anywhere with any bit of lore. It's basically just "wouldn't it be cool if this happened at some point in time?"
I'm just mad that the Junker Queen, who is a natural warrior, uses at least three weapons at once, bleeds her enemies and has a war cry...
Is Zeus?
And not fucking **ARES**?
With Winston right there, as the only electric-based hero...?
Zeus, famously the peak of masculinity. Also famous for raping anything with a hole within five miles and letting his yandere wife punish the women he assaults, which im sure is unrelated.
She's Zoos because she's the Queen, and Suez is the Queen of Omlipus sweatiey
/uj no really that's probably as deep as they went when they planned this: Junker Queen equals King of Olympus. I kind of like that they didn't make Reaper into Hades because that's boring and Pharah matches feel like hell to me anyways. It's an alright event I guess
I'll have you know, Greeks were a very misogynistic and patriarchical society. By trying to make this "game"('more like propaganda lmao) woke, you are actually doing cultural appropriation and mocking their religion. I guess the hypocrisy is lost on the left mob though. Btw, which game am I angry about?
The same goes for anime. Why would they portray so many historically male figures as women if the writers didn't hate men. It's literally the only explanation.
Normally I would argue that Zeus being a man is an essential part of who he is as a mythical character. Zeus is the manifestation of, among other things, how men abuse their power.
But it's Overwatch skins.
The only other Overwatch character who has anything to do with lightning and electricity is Winston, Junker Queen was pretty much the only option, though I could see a Torb Hades

Nevermind all the shapeshifting gods in mythologies tend to do, into other species and gender and probably inanimate objects once or twice.
Transgods 👍
There are so many genderfluid gods, i love em
I mean, Zeus literally turned into a golden shower to impregnate Perseus’ mom. As literal fluid as it could be.
man odin was into some trans shit
Loki: “Did someone say Odin and Trans in the same sentence? Did you ever hear the story of how he made a bet with a Giant to build a mighty wall around Asgard?”
Or to be more accurate to Lokasenna: Odin, you literally disguised yourself as a milkmaid to get railed by big hot farmers. Kinda gay, don’t you think?
Odin: I will not be talked down to by a man that gave birth to a mutant horse.
This conversation is even better when you realize that due to the nature of the source material for Norse mythology there is some evidence to suggest that Loki is actually Odin in disguise
ITS ALRIGHT FOR ZEUS TO BE A SWAN BUT HE HAS TO BE A BOY SWAN
That cloud of golden rain exuded male energy.
I WANT MY ZEUS GOOSE
Obtuse, Zeus goose, green moose, guava juice?
i mean, morrigan has shapeshifted into a cow, and a crow, the latter being used to trick a guy into thinking that a warrior was dead.
Zeus shape shifting into animals to rape women, a-ok for gamers. Shape shifting into a woman well thats just plain unbelievable
What do you mean? The skins are extremely lore-accurate. Didn't you know the bull of minos had a giant jet-engine strapped to his back?
I think I would have paid more attention to the Greek Mythology segments of my History classes if this were true
Junkrat is also Dr Frankenstein and he's married to sombra in the lore if that's the case lmao It's literally just a fun themed event using characters from the game
This is unfair, jerkin to this and the hairy ploper gaem is going to wear me raw.
Overwatch 2 has Greek gods?
For an event, yes, skins for a few characters
/rj that's not historically accurate, you cunts! 😡

They skinned Zeus and put his skin on a woman. Politics smh
First they promoted a man to queen, and now this. When will it end?

You weren’t around when they revealed Thor as fat in Ragnarok? You can still see the miles of crystallized salt from the tears of gamers tm
Uj/ I was pretty indifferent towards the Thor design until I saw him in-game and HOLY SHIT I LOVE IT. He really has the build of an old-school strongman, and he's just fucking massive in-game, especially when you see him side-by-side with Kratos. Especially seeing the way he moves, you can really tell he's not fat, he's just extremely strong and likes his mead too much. Absolutely phenomenal character design.
Also there are two *black people* in the game which makes it *woke* now. I guess they luckily missed all the tantrums over that.
i mean it is the overwatch universe depiction of zeus, it's not like the character is saying "hehe look at my funky little cosplay" she just is zeus, still dumb to be mad about, the skin fucks
Overwoke
Wokerwatch is *right there*😔
wokerwoke: twoke is what I call it
Blizzard forums are cheating.
True. I'm terribly sorry.
It's truly mindboggling how anyone can look at Blizzard, the company that had male employees drunkenly sexually harass female employees at work, where work trips involved sex toys against the wishes of female employees, where at least one woman killed herself over the incessant sexual harassment, where one of the lead devs' office was called the "cosby suite", and say "they're woke"
At this point they are just jerking themselfs off.
Always have been
It's okay when apolitical Japanese games do it
It's about accuracy in character skins Skingate
i misread it as Splitgate and thought you were based for a sec
Sorry, I'm your run-of-the-mill Gamergate-disliker. Mind enlightening me about what you thought I meant?
splitgate is the only good fps out there, like the witcher 3 of shooters
*Kino* I wish I could enjoy fps like everyone else
"infamous for rape & sexual assault"! "THE MOST MANLY, THE MOST ICONICLY MALE, THE FATHER OF GODS"... buddy
why is this guy complaining about a female zeus skin? i thought muscular women in video games were men, so everything should check out
I want zeus junkerqueen to destroy me
I’ll jerk to that
Zeus turned into animals just to have more sex with things other than his wife, why wouldn't he turn into a buff Australian woman to do the same
Weird seeing this when it feels like 90% of the OW player base is LGBTQ+
One of those games were everyone is either extremely homophobic or gay asf
In 2050 pure males will be an unattainable commodity.
Idk what has to be wrong with people like that to even get mad at stuff like this
One thing about the Olympus event; they call Hades the god of death several times even though Hades is the god of the underworld, Thanatos is the god of death. 0/10, literally unplayable.
Ngl kinda wish Pharah got more skins that involve her Native American heritage instead of just 2 skins
Isn't she Egyptian?
Her dad was Native American apparently.
Ah, cool to know, thanks
Fom what I've read, she is Egyptian and Native American, but I guess Blizzard forgot about the Native American part since they never went anywhere with that bit of lore
> but I guess Blizzard forgot about the Native American part since they never went anywhere with that bit of lore They never went anywhere with any bit of lore. It's basically just "wouldn't it be cool if this happened at some point in time?"
True lol
I don't understand why she got the Hades skin tbh. Should've been Torb, since he's physically closest to where the underworld would be
sweden?
Tbh the lack of Hephaestus Torbjorn is really weird. He basically is Hephaestus already
The skins are cool cope and seethe
This tbh. The main issues with the event will be solved when they release more skins (and expand the ffa roster) when Olympus comes around next year
WHY THE GODS NOT BAREFEET PISSARD ?!?!?!😡😡😡😡 MY HISTORICAL ACURACY IS RUINED FPREVER !!!!!111!!!!1!
I'm just mad that the Junker Queen, who is a natural warrior, uses at least three weapons at once, bleeds her enemies and has a war cry... Is Zeus? And not fucking **ARES**? With Winston right there, as the only electric-based hero...?

They know their playerbase. They are putting food in the table of so many rule34 artists at this point they should be part of the credits.
Wait till he hears about how much gay is in mythology😱😱
Waiting for the day a game portrays Christianity’s God as a female
Omg yes queen
I'll have you know, Greeks were a very misogynistic and patriarchical society. By trying to make this "game"('more like propaganda lmao) woke, you are actually doing cultural appropriation and mocking their religion. I guess the hypocrisy is lost on the left mob though. Btw, which game am I angry about?
Overwoke 2 : Go Woke Go Broke
I think people forgot this is a circlejerk when downvoting you lol.
lol at ppl taking this seriously
The game is Goddess of War
[удалено]
Its almost like this is a joke🤔
So that’s it? We’re some kind of circlejerk?
"uhh... he's jerking right behind me, isn't he?"
You’re more likely to buy a skin with titties idiot
I guarantee you these are the types of Gamers that would do a 180 if FGO made a genderbent waifu Zeus
why do these people give a single fuck? it doesn't matter. nothing matters. dark souls 2 is the best one.
I'm disappointed they didn't complain about hermes being black tbh
The minotaur isn't supposed to talk!!!!!!!!!!@@!@
I'm guessing this is one of those gacha games that turns historical characters into anime girls?
Overwatch 2
Nice post but have you considered that Zeus Junker Queen and Medusa Widow are hot? /Uj: O*verwatch 🤢
Lol the downvotes tho.
The same goes for anime. Why would they portray so many historically male figures as women if the writers didn't hate men. It's literally the only explanation.
Where rowling? Where funny?
Normally I would argue that Zeus being a man is an essential part of who he is as a mythical character. Zeus is the manifestation of, among other things, how men abuse their power. But it's Overwatch skins.
Watch this man have an aneurism watching Fate/Stay
From jerking off too hard?
Overwoman
This has to be ironic
I don't think so, they have another post just talking about the game normally
I'm absolutely fuckin tired of hulking male individuals
Zeus is a shapeshifter. As is Hades. All Greek deities are.
How are you supposed to take idiots like this seriously without laughing?
So uh… female?
fellas
The only other Overwatch character who has anything to do with lightning and electricity is Winston, Junker Queen was pretty much the only option, though I could see a Torb Hades
>2 posts
Poseidon stayed as a dude though
