moira-uhhh-deorain:

you know im super scared that m/c/han/zo actually will become canon bc you know jeff mentioned the ship in that one interview

and its not like i hate the ship or dislike one of the characters its just the fact that both of them have no dynamic at all and are only shipped that much because theyre the most attractive male characters in the game

and im not saying they could not be a couple at all, its just that their main fan base are straight women who love gays a lil too much which results in so many racist stereotypes (like just read some m//hnzo fics on ao3) and you know it wouldnt be like in some flower shop au, bc mccree and genji are friends and i doubt his first reaction when meeting hanzo would be ‘you killed genji, but hot damn’? like out of any two characters in ow that have never met each other they literally are the two that would hate each other the most

and if they became canon blizzard would ignore all of their backstory only do it to make all the straight women that ship them happy which would be super sad because mccree would be interesting in so many different relationships like w sombra, genji even junkrat would be a more plausible ship that serious honor-obsessed ex yakuza and guy who unironically dresses like a cowboy

tl;dr: mccree and hanzo are objectively not a bad couple but the fandoms racism and fetishisation of an asian and a latino guy just because theyre conventionally attractive is ruining many really interesting relationships overwatch could have instead of having two hot token gays
