Overwatch Halloween adjusted
nibelung2 submitted:
The reddit user Chattywindow looked at the skins Blizzard gave to McCree (Van Helsing) and Symmetra (naked dragon lady), and made footage of both of them cosplaying each other. I present you Van Helsym and Incubus McCree.
And so the trend of fans swapping gendered Ovewatch character skins continues, this time with the official Halloween 2017 costumes. Nipple rings on Incubus McCree are such a nice touch! And Van Helsym is finally a look Symmetra deserves.
It really is sad how easily modders prove to Blizzard that women do look awesome in non-sexualized outfits, yet official skins barely ever apply to that.
If fans can do women better in their spare time, Blizzard definitely can do that with their abundant resources. They just don’t want to.

Is the only way for Symmetra to get real pants going to be through fanart?

So, while we wait for Blizzard to release this year’s Overwatch Halloween selection, I just want to point out that @folksywindow has already thought of the best possible costumes the dudes in the Talon faction: Dress up as Widowmaker
Look at the potential for empowerment!
But what would Widowmaker dress up as? There’s an answer for that too!

At last, my two childhood icons together!
And finally the uncomfortable sexyness of Sailor Scouts’ transformation (warning: flashing images in the link) is used for a good cause: MALE EMPOWERMENT!

I’m glad they realized how important it was to make a tasteful, yet empowering alteration to Mario’s traditional outfit.

Nier Automata: 2b cosplay by @allansenpaii on Twitter
As you can probably tell by now, we’re all for any empowered male take on Nier Automata.
Now, if only there was actually a mainstream game with a sexy dude protagonist who ends up pantless by blowing himself up and then reloading. And if the creator’s only answer to inevitable backlash from dudebros was “I just really like boys.”… that would be peachy.

You know how in those videogames when the girl character gets an “armor upgrade” and it’s actually super sexier??? I imagine Tony that way :))))
Tony actually wore this ironman suit in the 80s comics, NO JOKEfollow me on twitter // support my art, buy me a coffee! *u*
@bikiniarmorbattledamage check out this empowering iron man armour, which is apparently canon
We have to send a strongly-worded letter to Marvel about this blatant CENSORSHIP! How could they put Tony in that awful, protective full-body armor when he could be saving the world in a metal crop top?? Now, finally, he and Cap can match!
And with such soulful eyes, he will definitely lead the Avengers to victory!
