Overwatch porn is being forced offline by DMCA takedown notices

Heh, You're not taking my Anthro Mako Roadhog pics, Blizzard :)

EDIT: Speaking of which, there's not enough M/M Hero shooter stuff out there. a shame really, there's some DAMN hot guys in these games recently.

Gonna do it for you. Nobody should be ashamed for their ass.

You can definitely tell that Tracer is a proper superhero by the way that she eschews clothing for body paint.

Good on Blizzard for doing this, even if the end result is negligible. Inaction implies consent.

This is disgusting and I am glad they acknowledge the issue. Part of the reason I feel distant from Splatoon right now is that is that the "best girl" nonsense the SS amiibo brought out in people is absolutely abhorrent, and nintendo is only making it worse with their stupid fucking concert.
 
They don't really need to do this though. Haha
Coca Cola doesn't necessarily need to spend hundreds of millions to keep it as the can that people generally pull out of the refrigerator when they're thirsty, but it definitely is the first beverage that pops into the mind on a sweaty summer night when the spouse is at the in-law's.
 
Well that explains the lack of Overwatch porn on PornHub when I let my curiosity decide for me after I read that Kotaku. At first I thought it was a joke post after seeing the lack of porn after their ravings of all kinds of different videos.

Nuh-uh. You can't create overly sexualized female characters to get dem sales and then believe there wont be any porn made out of it. I actually dont know a single person that has seen widowmaker, either in game or in her short, without commenting her body. Both men and women. Blizz knew this ofc, it's very deliberate. People wont be over watching porn just because some takedowns.
 
Blizzard can't stop r34.

I've never seen the porn, but them trying to get rid of it is only giving people more exposure/interest in the porn. It's really just a meaningless 'solution' that will probably die out in a few weeks.

What were they expecting? They've been using Tracer and Widowmaker as the official faces (and apparently butts) of Overwatch. Blizzard knows sex sells better than anyone, which is why these two are in every single ad or promo banner.

They've pretty much encouraged people to do it.

...But why?

It's such a useless attempt. Doesn't Blizzard realize that this is going to have the EXACT OPPOSITE effect? Now there will be more of them just because it's "forbidden fruit" and people are going to find a way to get it anyway.

And why just Overwatch? I'm sure just like anything else, there is also porn for WoW, Hearthstone, Starcraft, etc.

i think that's exactly what they want.
