The constant rolling disaster that is Overwatch's game development aside, what really perplexes me about how Blizzard is handling the broader franchise is their continual insistence that a canon narrative exists in spite of their equally continual refusal to tell anyone what it is.

Like, okay, the events of the games aren't canon. Fair enough: the games are multiplayer-only, and you can't account for player actions.

Oh, and the animated short films aren't canon either – they're properly understood as in-universe propaganda, not depictions of actual events. That's a little high concept for you guys, but fine.

But surely the comics are canon, right? Well, no; some of the comics (we're not telling you which ones) were canon at one point, but the writing team has decided to go in a different direction.

My dudes, what is left? The weird Source Filmmaker porn? Is that canon? Well, apparently it's at least as canon as anything else!

Today's aesthetic: a robot girl with a fully-mechanized body which, despite not being anatomically correct, is somehow more naked than if she did have genitals and nipples. This robot with a completely blank boobs and crotch have exceeded the horny levels of actual porn. She is more Sexy™ than if this picture was otherwise-identical but depicted an equally-unclothed human woman.

Randomly remembered this cursed encounter... Once when exiting a train during rush hour I saw this dude in the crowd beside me. He was walking nonchalantly, looking at his phone, which was playing hardcore pornography

I just had a porn-spambot like one of my posts about wlw, and the very first post on its blog had the headline "Tips For Men".
