The Overwatch gang has finally arrived in Fortnite<\/a>, and you know what that means. That’s right, we’re talking about Tracer’s butt again. Fans are convinced that Tracer’s backside got buffed in her Fortnite incarnation, and you know, I think they might be right.<\/p>\n

Some quick history, for those who either weren’t around 10 years ago, or are fortunate enough to have memory-holed the whole thing: One of the big controversies in the early days of Overwatch (and this is going to sound incredibly stupid, but I swear it’s true) was the bodaciousness of Tracer’s booty. First, gamers complained that an over-the-shoulder victory pose had too much ass<\/a>, so Blizzard changed it and then other gamers complained that there was not enough ass<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Ten years later, former Overwatch boss Jeff Kaplan said the amount of ass actually “stayed exactly the same<\/a>“\u2014it was merely the pose itself that changed. As PC Gamer’s resident knower-of-Overwatch Elie Gould said, a decade of water under the bridge had turned the whole thing into something of a joke, although there’s no doubt in my mind that an undercurrent of resentment and rage continues to flow through some corners of the online world.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to today. Just a month after Kaplan’s comment, Tracer’s caboose is back in the conversation, because some of the folks on the TracerMains suibreddit\u2014and today I learned there is a TracerMains subreddit<\/a>\u2014seem pretty sure that she’s been re-proportioned for the Fortnite crossover.<\/p>\n
