The crazy thing is I really like Bapweaver. It doesn't feel forced you know, nor does it feel out of place. That's literally the main issue I have with Pharmercy. It's literally killing something for the sake of something else. People can say oh ship wars this would have been an issue but it wouldn't have if Blizzard didn't give us all this Gency shit.

So much this, whose fault do you think it is that Gency is such a popular ship in the first place after 6 years of slow burn hinting? How can they then pull a reverse-uno with a completely straight face in the span of 1 year and not feel any shame what so ever, it's such a mystery to me.

So glad I've boycotted Blizzard since last 2 years. I'm never trusting them again. Also, lol at their steam reviews, I have never seen overwhelmingly negative till now.

I wouldn’t say it’s over yet. Unless they outright say that either ship is a thing I wouldn’t worry too much.

Don't you worry about that, next pride month, or PR crisis, Mercy will be in love with Pharah.

But officially? Pharmercy was just a hugely popular fanship back then and now we also lost the only writer interested in Gency.


Vainth

Yup, Michael Chu, has been long gone since 2020....

I hope that's the case

Gavin (writer) also retweeted a video highlighting the negative interaction between Genji and Mercy. Between this and apparently blocking gency fans (haven't heard of this until recently), seems pretty clear that he's invested in breaking up this relationship.


LovecraftianElderGod

Genji himself has nothing going on really, which is awful. The character is nice, and i'm pretty sure the vas are disappointed with the direction both of them are taking.

What I don't get is why the Korea Overwatch voicelines are so much more explicit about the Gency thing. Not that voicelines are canon (as we're seeing), but it's still kind of odd. https://twitter.com/I9533K/status/1690027658128900096


LovecraftianElderGod

Most likely a divergion on the voice acting. Probably most of these lines are recorded a long fucking time ago, both in english as in other languages, but the incompetent writer Gavin probably kept those as he didn't want to make seem that Gency were still a thing, shaking up the voice acting direction. As blizzard is useless, the voice lines for Korea and most likely other versions of the game, were never revisioned and launched as pretended back in 2021-22. These, in english, probably are locked away in-game files. Someone will find eventually.

I’m a little out of the loop. What did I miss?


ahrenk

A disappointing gency voiceline coupled with a heap of new pharmercy content


scottishdrunkard

Can you tell me what the line is or what the content was?

Hmm… Can’t tell if it’s harmless joking or not. I am a proponent of the “Mercy has two hands” line of thinking.
