A Ted talk on Lifeline, Bangalore and Loba involving the characters who have harmed them
Forge should remain dead because having a character that touches women without their permission shouldn't be something represented. It's sus that folks still want him in the game, to begin with. If he grabbed Wattson's waist would people still be so eager to have him in-game 🤔
I enjoy Lifetane under the idea they can be healthy but in canon folks forget Octane is really manipulative, most likely knowing Lifeline has a soft spot for him that'll let him get away with being a horrible person. He needs to be grateful and she needs to put her foot down
People will hate Loba for lying or putting others in danger but Caustic and Rev literally slaughtered innocent people. Rev's also not innocent! He often made fun of Loba's clear trauma. And Caustic lied to Wattson, isolated Crypto and nearly got Loba killed but go off I guess
I literally don't care if you like Caustic or Rev cause they're good villains. But they're that, villains. And I don't think every villain necessarily needs a redemption arc
I also think it's sus that folks will hate on Loba for wanting revenge on someone that slaughtered her...
entire family in front of her. She's made bad choices but lying isn't worse than murder. Wraith murdered that scientist dude and everyone loved it.

Again, I don't care if you nut to Rev or Caustic
Also I'm pretty sure Forge was literally painted as a horrible person so we'd like that he was killed off but the harassment of a Bangalore ain't enough for some of you folks to want him dead

It's almost like the strong black woman trope is damaging
