'Sexy' pose removed from Overwatch game after fans complain

Developer Blizzard agrees scene in which female provocatively directs rear towards camera is inconsistent with her character

The game developer Blizzard has altered a sequence in the forthcoming shooter Overwatch after fans complained that it needlessly sexualised a female character.

In the contentious moment, a character named Tracer adopts a victory pose in which her rear is directed provocatively toward the camera. One player argued on the game's official forum that the pose is inconsistent with her character, as established in the game's publicity and narrative.
