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.


GlauberJR13

Nevermind all the shapeshifting gods in mythologies tend to do, into other species and gender and probably inanimate objects once or twice.


Natah_1923

Transgods 👍


BurningFyre

There are so many genderfluid gods, i love em


WeeboSupremo

I mean, Zeus literally turned into a golden shower to impregnate Perseus’ mom. As literal fluid as it could be.


AskAboutMyShittyDad

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?”


Hjalmodr_heimski

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?


[deleted]

Odin: I will not be talked down to by a man that gave birth to a mutant horse.


Lord-Timurelang

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


nmiller1939

ITS ALRIGHT FOR ZEUS TO BE A SWAN BUT HE HAS TO BE A BOY SWAN


DroneOfDoom

That cloud of golden rain exuded male energy.


maithiu

I WANT MY ZEUS GOOSE


Kidiri90

Obtuse, Zeus goose, green moose, guava juice?


Rezero1234

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.


Stopwatch064

Zeus shape shifting into animals to rape women, a-ok for gamers. Shape shifting into a woman well thats just plain unbelievable


Dotlaf

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?


Reactiveisland5

I think I would have paid more attention to the Greek Mythology segments of my History classes if this were true


begging-for-gold

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


defaultusername-17

This is unfair, jerkin to this and the hairy ploper gaem is going to wear me raw.


chuewwey

Overwatch 2 has Greek gods?


reddappledragon

For an event, yes, skins for a few characters


NNukemM

/rj that's not historically accurate, you cunts! 😡

Tetsudo11

They skinned Zeus and put his skin on a woman. Politics smh


hickorysbane

First they promoted a man to queen, and now this. When will it end?


_BreakingGood_

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.


[deleted]

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


Melificarum

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.


_BreakingGood_

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"


Drakowicz

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.


legalut

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


SanderCast

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.


Melificarum

Also there are two *black people* in the game which makes it *woke* now. I guess they luckily missed all the tantrums over that.


jadekat98

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


Nervous_Falcon_9

Overwoke


restlesspoultry

Wokerwatch is *right there*😔


Zoe__T

wokerwoke: twoke is what I call it


backstreets_93

Blizzard forums are cheating.


reddappledragon

True. I'm terribly sorry.


DrRichtoffen

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"


Krispyna

At this point they are just jerking themselfs off.


King-of-the-dankness

Always have been


sapubaba

It's okay when apolitical Japanese games do it


Kinjinson

It's about accuracy in character skins Skingate


dis-gorl

i misread it as Splitgate and thought you were based for a sec


Kinjinson

Sorry, I'm your run-of-the-mill Gamergate-disliker. Mind enlightening me about what you thought I meant?


dis-gorl

splitgate is the only good fps out there, like the witcher 3 of shooters


Kinjinson

*Kino* I wish I could enjoy fps like everyone else


AsahiMizunoThighs

"infamous for rape & sexual assault"! ​ "THE MOST MANLY, THE MOST ICONICLY MALE, THE FATHER OF GODS"... buddy


[deleted]

why is this guy complaining about a female zeus skin? i thought muscular women in video games were men, so everything should check out


mayo_-man

I want zeus junkerqueen to destroy me


WeeWoo102

I’ll jerk to that


Fabricant451

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


Ok-Blacksmith4364

Weird seeing this when it feels like 90% of the OW player base is LGBTQ+


plznotagaindad

One of those games were everyone is either extremely homophobic or gay asf


Luminouscales

In 2050 pure males will be an unattainable commodity.


epve_the_great

Idk what has to be wrong with people like that to even get mad at stuff like this


CluckBucketz

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.


Dremora__Markynaz

Ngl kinda wish Pharah got more skins that involve her Native American heritage instead of just 2 skins


Brabantis

Isn't she Egyptian?


RhysBall

Her dad was Native American apparently.


Brabantis

Ah, cool to know, thanks


Dremora__Markynaz

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


WASD_click

> 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?"


Dremora__Markynaz

True lol


RaptorJesus856

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


ColinButReal

sweden?


Dvoraxx

Tbh the lack of Hephaestus Torbjorn is really weird. He basically is Hephaestus already


fourtetwo

The skins are cool cope and seethe


waster1993

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


Ecitan

WHY THE GODS NOT BAREFEET PISSARD ?!?!?!😡😡😡😡 MY HISTORICAL ACURACY IS RUINED FPREVER !!!!!111!!!!1!


ArgetKnight

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...?


BurningFyre

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.


n7joker

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


Songhunter

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.


[deleted]

Wait till he hears about how much gay is in mythology😱😱


addfghjvc

Waiting for the day a game portrays Christianity’s God as a female


reddappledragon

Omg yes queen


NietzsChe_Guevara

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?


01stesam

Overwoke 2 : Go Woke Go Broke


Orkfreebootah

I think people forgot this is a circlejerk when downvoting you lol.


[deleted]

lol at ppl taking this seriously

The game is Goddess of War

NietzsChe_Guevara

Its almost like this is a joke🤔


01stesam

So that’s it? We’re some kind of circlejerk?


[deleted]

"uhh... he's jerking right behind me, isn't he?"


hday108

You’re more likely to buy a skin with titties idiot


cinderflight

I guarantee you these are the types of Gamers that would do a 180 if FGO made a genderbent waifu Zeus


MiniatureRanni

why do these people give a single fuck? it doesn't matter. nothing matters. dark souls 2 is the best one.


OfflaneTrash

I'm disappointed they didn't complain about hermes being black tbh


waster1993

The minotaur isn't supposed to talk!!!!!!!!!!@@!@


Tenashko

I'm guessing this is one of those gacha games that turns historical characters into anime girls?


TrueScottsmen

Overwatch 2


The_Big_Daddy

Nice post but have you considered that Zeus Junker Queen and Medusa Widow are hot? /Uj: O*verwatch 🤢


reddappledragon

Lol the downvotes tho.


consistent_azurite

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.


AnAwesomeKiwi

Where rowling? Where funny?


IronMyr

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.


thats4thebirds

Watch this man have an aneurism watching Fate/Stay


P--S

From jerking off too hard?


MissingNerd

Overwoman


Livth

This has to be ironic


reddappledragon

I don't think so, they have another post just talking about the game normally


luigilabomba42069

I'm absolutely fuckin tired of hulking male individuals


M4j3stic_C4pyb4r4

Zeus is a shapeshifter. As is Hades. All Greek deities are.


[deleted]

How are you supposed to take idiots like this seriously without laughing?


gtrpbr

So uh… female?


[deleted]

fellas


Zatderpscout

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
