And boy, do I mean EFFECTIVE. Apparently various characters from Overwatch's roster were in the top percentile of search results on Pornhub just after release, and it's not hard to see why.

Widowmaker is a Kardashian-rumped sniper with a sultry voice, Tracer's cute as a button and D.Va straddles her mech like she's posing for Playboy. The entire production takes on an extra layer of pure primal attraction, leading to Overwatch's Reddit thread coining the term 'showbutting', just for how many derriere's are being posed and rounded off nicely.

It's pretty great to see Blizzard are fully aware of how gaming can twin escapism with alluring and sexually-charged imagery, resulting in something quite special indeed.
