Fans are getting lewd
TheOverwatchbeta has been a rousing success this weekend, whether you quantify said success by the “millions” that played (enough toextend the open beta by a day) or just by how painfully everyone is ignoringBattleborn, which actually just launched. Heck, I even made a Battle.net account to try it, and it’s pretty good.
But what about other metrics of success? Well,Pornhub Insightsexplains that as the shooter, which has been described asTeam Fortress 2with waifus, launched its beta on May 5, Pornhub saw 817% growth inOverwatch-related porn searches.
Pornhub, I am told, is a website that focuses on adult video content — and apparently it’s not the only one, so it’s hard to track total rising interest inOverwatchporn, but it is amusing to consider nonetheless. The top search term, “Overwatch Tracer” tracks with Blizzard recently amending a pose by the character,replacing a generically sexy stance with a still-sexy posethat carried more personality and bubbly exuberance. Plus, remember that amazingly goodKorean Tracer cosplay?
“Overwatch futa” comes in third, referring to hentai wherein the sexy women also have giant cocks.
None of this is as informative as you might expect it to be when it comes tous, good ‘ol red-blooded Americans. The top countries searching for that hotOverwatchnice nice are South Korea, Belarus, Russia, and Poland. The United States doesn’t even make the top 12. Regardless of source or audience, I’ve already stumbled on Widowmaker fucking like three differentOverwatchcharacters — all women — on the first page of a simple Google image search (“widowmaker overwatch”) trying to wrangle a header image for this post.
