Tracer's Butt Is Stirring Up Drama Again This Time In Overwatch 2 Beta

The six-year-old drama surrounding the Overwatch hero Tracer has just received an unexpected sequel as the internet is again arguing about the size of the character's buttocks after the release of the Overwatch 2 beta.

Many will remember the controversy surrounding the "Over the Shoulder" victory pose for Tracer, which had the hero looking over her shoulder and her butt turned towards the player. The pose, which many deemed to be a sexualization of the character, was ultimately replaced with a more innocuous version in which Tracer is balancing on one leg.

Now the recent drama has some people complaining that Tracer's buttocks were "nerfed" in the upcoming Overwatch sequel.

No one asked, but here's my review of the #Overwatch2 beta : pic.twitter.com/mTm1VMU136

Here's the fun thing though: The proportions of Tracer's model were not actually changed between Overwatch and its sequel, and Lena Oxton's butt is very much the same size it's always been.

Overwatch porn conditioning people into thinking Tracer had a huge ass and they removed it when this is actually the same model from Overwatch 1 is actually hilarious https://t.co/ahp5FITfw8

Tracer has always had a small butt, I don't know how the internet only noticed it now lol

I get the issue of taking curves away from female characters, but she never had them to begin with so I don't see the issue pic.twitter.com/RtnY8aijpZ

Some speculated that Twitter's concern with the non-issue may stem from the abundance of Blender pornography featuring Overwatch characters, in which Tracer's model is more often than not way more callipygous than in the game. Given how popular the genre has been, it's no wonder that some people remember Tracer's model slightly differently.

Should we consider Overwatch porn to be a valid reference, then it looks like the new model brought even bigger changes.

Me, having never played Overwatch and only knowing of it through SFM animations of Tracer: NOOOOOOO THEY CENSORED HER MASSIVE COCK BULGE https://t.co/ZG3zfiTYIt

Overwatch 2, the sequel to the hit 2015 multiplayer game Overwatch, entered its open PvP beta in late April.
