The Overwatch fandom on tiktok is so incredibly dense and reactionary. I swear I don't run into the amount of bullshit from OW fans anywhere else except for there. This game has been my special interest since about 2017, both actually playing it and being into the stories and lore that surrounds it. Even when I missed things being away and unable to play, I still caught up with the short stories and comics, and still people are correcting me on the lore while being simultaneously objectively wrong and it's so stupid and I shouldn't be mad, but the information is literally all available for free on Blizzards website and they're just too immensely dense to access it and fact check.
Someone had the audacity to tell me Reaper doesn't have any lore when he has a short story (regardless what you think of it, it's canon), a comic, and a game mode all devoted to him, and beyond that has a ton of features and indirect development from other characters and their stories. He is literally one of the most developed Overwatch characters in game and lore. Meanwhile, we have characters like Zenyatta who has never had sole focus on him and most of what we know on him is through Genji or Ramattra, or even Sigma who had such a killer introduction and so much potential, but with little to no further development beyond in game voice lines.
I love that we're getting more opportunities for story through the animation miniseries, but admittedly it's frustrating when the same handful of characters continuously get their own stories, comic, shorts, and small features when we have 30+ heroes with a good number who've gotten nothing since their release.
Sorry for the rant. I'm just exhausted with the OW fandom of Overwatch because you cannot post anything without a bunch of fucking morons trying to "well actually 🤓" you on easily accessible and accurate information or just straight up harass you for making a simple joke. I know this fandom has a history of toxicity, but this wave of people "correcting" lore who just don't have a clue about the actual OW stories insanely infuriating.
