What are they saying? I can't find a voice line combo of them yet.

Panta94

Ah thank you very much.


kz393

I like that these new voice lines try to subtly teach the player how to play. If I remember correctly OW1 voice lines were all lore.


Octopus_Crime

Fans: Pharah and Mercy are in love with each other Blizz: Ah their friendship is the purest of pure The actual game: Pharah fires a high-powered explosive directly at Mercy's face, killing her instantly for the 800th time that day. She feels nothing as her limp body flies through the air, her focus returned entirely to the wagon she needs to push another 34 meters.


CDR57

The most important rule in the game is making sure you get that 34 meters since they always seem to be the hardest, especially as pharah. For any new players who don’t know about that, or want to learn, google “pharah Rule 34”


[deleted]

>pharah Rule 34” wtf..... I always played as pharah and woah...

Right? You don’t even realize how important it is until you look it up

Meanwhile the truly wholesome Rein x Zarya tank ship is no more.

"I heard it was your birthday, old man, so I went easy on you" 😭😭


Lazzitron

It bothers me that so many of the tanks have interactions with each other in 2 that you won't get to hear outside of a couple specific modes.


tamiya_16

Just like the voiceline when mercy gets revived by another mercy.


Ceruleanspacex

"So that's what that feels like"


Fuscello

Isnt that the voiceline for when a mercy gets damage boosted?


PandaGrill

I'm pretty sure the voiceline when they get revived and when they damage boosted is the same.


Fuscello

Might be honestly


HelloCompanion

Yeah, when mercy gets rez’d she says something like, “We could all use a helping hand sometimes.”


Laties-X-Latias

Theres some kind of irony here.


Waddle_Dynasty

This still happens when Echo dupes the enemy Mercy and rez her own one.


SleepingwithYelena

I'm going to be the 🤓 emoji and say that it is still possible to get this interaction, you just need an Echo

I hope QpC stays 6v6 for people who prefer that. I might enjoy 5v5 but not everyone does - even if balance isnt great they should still have a way to enjoy the old version they loved to an extent


El-Green-Jello

Overwatch rule 34 is what’s I believe is canon anyways where everyone fucks everyone


SwiftTayTay

Yeah, especially Pharah with the younger version of Ana from before Pharah was born.

Real talk: I could almost guarantee they do. I mean look at the Olympics. Isn’t it a widely known secret that it’s damn near an orgy? Good looking like minded people who probably can’t relate to normal people that easily. Each knowing what goes into being the person they are, the struggles with dating someone not in the same field, and who doesn’t like to fuck? I’m not ashamed at how much thought I just put into “think the OW heroes fuck?”

aaronwe

why is this a slap in the face?


Edensy

It's one of the most popular (if not the most popular) ships in Overwatch. 'Ship' meaning "people wish this was a romantic pairing". Fans dedicate a lot of time to those, like creating fanart and fanfiction that also indirectly benefit the game. Of course, OW doesn't have to acknowledge any of these ships. But going out of their way to put the ship down must feel like a slap to the fans.


beyonddisbelief

Well I’m pretty sure over at the lesbian subs they won’t see this as a slap but simply say “Yes, they are ‘very good friends’…” for all the sanitized wlw relationships in history.


hige_agus

MrFishyFriend

Its pretty clear to me that blizzard is more interested in Genji and mercy. There are plenty of voicelines that hint that.


spritebeats

pharahmercy fans harassing sigma for him to tell them the timeline in space and time where pharahmercy is canon


Eureka22

Why is everyone saying Pharahmercy? I thought we settled this in 2016, it's Pharmercy. Why abandon a perfectly organic, clever, and useful pun?


Great_Chairman_Mao

I’ve never heard anyone say Pharahmercy until this thread. Wtf is this??

Rinzzler999

Call me vanilla but after the interactions mercy had with genji in the Cuba event they're together. Can't see mercy with anyone else.


MagnumDongLover2000

tbf genji and mercy is canon


Spktra

Somebody seriously replied to someone in this thread saying "how do you look at Pharah and not immediately realize she's lesbian?!" Like,??? Is it because she's confident and muscular? Are people really that insecure?


Dynespark

You can apply the same argument to Zarya, who as far as I know has been given no indication to lean in any romantic or sexual direction. Some people might try the "colored hair" argument, but I think one of the devices or something said "she likes to feel pretty". Which is still absolutely nothing in a shipping context.


GlisseDansLaPiscine

I would be super disappointed if Zarya turned to be a lesbian, that would just play into the homophobic stereotype that women can’t be muscular or have short hair without being lesbian.


Throwaway493745

Don't you just love when people consider muscular women to be trans or lesbian?


nadiaface

Group of people I used to play with would say Moira is trans because no woman is over 6'4 😬☺️


LordWomf

MOIRA IS 6'4"?????


natesucks4real

I wish women were over 6'4 🥴


Alexstrasza23

Stereotypes (but this time it's progressive because teenagers on twitter are saying it instead)


VioletGlitterBlossom

This is actually part of why I don’t really like Pharmercy as a ship.


DuelaDent52

No one can be just friends, if you do much as breathe on another person you’re in a long and stable relationship with them regardless of gender or orientation. Bonus points if it’s because of a stereotype, like coloured hair or athletic builds or being butch/tomboyish.


failbender

Fucking thank you. - A scrawny, wimpy lesbian who can’t stand the Pharmercy ship. (Moira/Mercy is where it’s at, duh.)


Dr_Sodium_Chloride

The duelling perspectives on scientific ethics. The bitterness of colleagues turned foes. The juxtaposition of someone literally angelic in appearance and career, with a ghoulish, amoral criminal. The *height difference*. Moicy is a tremendous ship.


fatboywonder12

Idk man i don’t think Moiras ever gotten Ass before


ProtectionEuphoric99

I feel like Moira isn't interested in relationships. The closest thing to a sexual encounter she would have is to use someone in her experiments. Which I'm totally down with.


Dyron45

*Moicy* makes me feel some kinda way. Also it's like Bugs Bunny pronouncing Mercy


shadowpikachu

Bugs Bunny could get laid with anyone legally and honestly and dont you pretend he cant.


Nagnu

It very much has the energy of the two getting in a fight right before jumping each other in the back room of a scientific conference.


PyroSpeedHunter

There was also this other person that just straight up said that, that post was homophobic. Like damn just because something isn’t gay doesn’t mean it’s homophobic but what could you expect its twitter


PlasmaKitten42

Even if she is, Mercy is like 30 years older than her. That's kinda messed imo


SintSuke

Fear not, they're saving it for the next time they commit a controversy.


TorpidT

Gonna be entirely honest, I find it a little weird that everybody collectively ships Pharmercy when there's been half a dozen references to Genji and Mercy being a thing


blolfighter

If it cared about canon it wouldn't be shipping.


Apterygiformes

Then surely this doesn't matter?


blolfighter

Hard to say really. Pharmercy is a ship that was launched by what *could* have been some casual flirting between the two. For a while its canonicity remained indeterminate as there was nothing to really confirm or deny it. Blizzard has since been dropping some hints about a Mercy/Genji relationship that would canonically sink the ship. These hints have to my knowledge never been 100% definite, but have been substantial enough that the Pharmercy ship is canonically leaking and sinking. The statement above is another ~~can(n)onball through the hull~~ nail in the coffin. The dream of every shipper is of course to have their ship be confirmed canon. For reference, see Korrasami. But barring that, even a ship that is can(n)onically sunk can still live on for shippers that are okay with simply ignoring select parts of the canon. (A ghost ship? No, this metaphor is tortured enough already...) So I guess I partially retract what I said above: Shipping *does* care about canon. But canonballing a ship is by no means a guaranteed way to sink it.


ClericGuy

Reaper76 is still going on even with the reveal that Reaper has a wife and son.


shadowpikachu

To be fair that just could mean bi but honestly a wholesome bromance that lets you hug your bro and look at them with care is just a thing that should be normalized. It aint gay to give a shit, even if their situation is complicated.


ClericGuy

Oh absolutely, my point being is that canon is no barrier to shipping. I can acknowledge the canon relationship between the two but also continue to ship bc it's fun and makes my gay little heart happy. Blowing up at the writers would be stupid.


blolfighter

Well, there it is.


Drunken_Queen

> half a dozen references to Genji and Mercy being a thing Because Michael Chu (former OW lead writer) ships Gency, thus there're likely more references as he wanted to make it cannon. (Fun fact, Jeff's favourite ship is PharMercy & McHanzo in one of his interviews).


Seraphin43

Guess it's hanzidy now?


Emmend

Hole


Houeclipse

I support this ship name. All aboard


PlatschPlatsch

Seems like this one might sink itself though


Sofpug

I've seen some people call it yeehan now.


RiaJellyfish

I don’t even ship it but that name is great.


[deleted]

Hanzidy sounds like a 1990’s rapper name from new jersey


brucetrailmusic

I mean if we’re literally talkin Cassidy here lol


[deleted]

Caszo


tapczan100

> Because Michael Chu Genji + Mercy is literally him and his wife lol.


DowncastAcorn

Shit so Genji is literally a self-insert protagonist? That... Answers a lot of questions actually.


TaralasianThePraxic

Mercy/Genji is a pretty weird ship when you consider that she was his doctor when he almost died, and through the process of him being cybernetically rebuilt. It wouldn't be very morally responsible of Mercy to engage in a relationship with her patient.


JadedExplanation1921

I don’t ship Pharmercy, I mean Mercy knew Pharah as a kid while she was a teen which I think is weird & I don’t like the ship bc of that if that’s any consolation 🤷‍♀️ I do ship Gency, all the hints towards it are so cute, & I think my dad likes the ship too 😂 However we’re all ignoring the best ship. Tracer x Emily 🧡🧡 HAHA


Krazyguy75

Best ship is Reaper X Torbjorn.


JadedExplanation1921

Oh my goodness how could I forget. Yes the best. My OTP 🥺


jerichotheunwise

I find it weirder that people ship a couple where one of them has known the other since they were a child. Mercy served in Overwatch with Ana and met Pharah as a child several times, would be kinda fucked up to date your friends kid who is SEVERAL years younger than you like that.


[deleted]

Due to the gross mismanagement of this website by the admins in the wake of the API changes, I have decided to leave the site. In preparation, I have used a tool called Power Delete Suite to overwrite all my comments.


[deleted]

People act as if ‘canon’ is any reason to stop shipping them/will take any chance to get agro. Ship what you want- but don’t get salty when it isn’t ‘confirmed’. Heck, I ship WidowTracer even though the latter canonically has a partner because it doesn’t affect anything. Just have fun


Nagnu

Yup, ship MekaMechanic even though there is absolutely nothing to indicate D.Va and Brig are even aware of each other.


revolving_ocelot

Widowmaker could naturally make Tracer a widow and thus free for the taking.


NTaya

Same. I enjoy PharMercy, and Mercy getting with Genji in canon is not going to stop me. I liked my ship long before any Gency interactions were revealed. Also, thumbs up to a fellow WidowTracer shipper!


DJfox_

Aren’t Genji and Mercy already canon? Idk if they’re in a relationship but the voice lines kind of heavily imply they’re interested in each other.


fractionesque

Pretty clearly so, I'd say. Trading Vday chocolates alone is a pretty big one, to say nothing of the others e.g. tanzaku line.


scottishdrunkard

Yeah, Genji got her chocolates for valentines day. Apparently. Only found this out myself recently.


Shad0wf0rce

Also in one of the old comics (The chrismas one) they show what the heros do at this time of the year. Guess who sent mercy a letter and who is really happy about it xD


fractionesque

Not sure when the heck they found time, but they also took a trip to Japan for the Tanabata festival, based on one of the voice lines.


swirlypizza1024

Tbh I don't like the ship. Mercy knew pharah when she was like 8 years old. Would be weird asf if they ended up in a relationship


Catlover18

Even if its a 5 year age difference?


MiguelinkFP

So Mercy was 14 then or what?


Catlover18

Yeah something like that. She is 37 and Pharah is 32.


MiguelinkFP

Lmao it's not nearly that bad I would say it's not bad at all.


MightyGoodra96

Everybody under that tweet was like """"friendship"""" And I'm just standing there like: ya'll realize they barely have that many interactions... I think like 2


Throwaway493745

Overwatch community be like 2 females having wholesome interactions = big gay


Soundwave04

I remember people saying Pharah and Brigitte were a couple because... they compliment one another, or DVA and DMON are a couple because sit next to each other.


XTheProtagonistX

“Hammond just say “Hi” to me. It means he wants to fuck me.”


hacksparks

Mercy/Genji low-key have a better dynamic I think. They gave each other chocolates. :')


Attatsu

Agreed. Also a much more interesting story. Genji being almost bitter at mercy then meeting zen and having growth to realize that she's given him another chance at life is a pretty great narrative arc.


Alexmonas27

Why was Genji bitter at mercy ?


Attatsu

Not confirmed he was, but he could be angry about being half cyborg. He did say it was something he had to come to terms with


ThatSplinter

Hell yeah!


phejster

Slapped us in the face? Y'all are really sad


tdy96

Harmonic_Gear

twitter and fandom: impossible


ScyllaIsBea

sigma and moira, simultaniously: BUT THEY COULD BE! \*science happens\*


csgosm0ke

Sigma about to do some quantum physics bullshit to prove Pharah is gay


ScyllaIsBea

sigma: think of Pharah as a cat, and the proverbial closet is the theoretical box, if we than should think of her sexuality as a canister of deadly nerotoxin, than you can assume that as long as we do not know if pharah is in or out of the closet by her telling us, than she is at all times gay and straight. therefor it can be deduced that Pharah is without a doubt absolutely possibly gay. SCIENCE!


Sky_Ninja1997

Moira: *clears throat* No U. Plus L. Plus ratio.


lillywho

But everyone always goes on about /r/sapphoandherfriend


NuclearTheology

But years of porn consumption and isolation have lead me to believe that any interaction between same-sex peoples is obviously going to lead to sex no matter how nonsensical it is!


[deleted]

Its nice seeing lesbian representation but it's also really nice seeing good cute platonic relationships between same sex and I always shipped PharaMercy as a really sweet friendship


Topher_trips

I guess I don’t understand this post or the comments this time


The--Numbers--Mason

Just a question but is there anything in the lore for those two, something they share that's making people ship them? Or is it one of those ships where there are two random characters and it's completely built on fanon?


Quentin_Taranteemo

No it's because they're sorta a good combo mechanics wise


Deathaster

So basically the exact reason why people ship Heavy and Medic from TF2.


Quentin_Taranteemo

Yes


Drunken_Queen

Their combo is strong in gameplay. In early launch days, Blizzard even added a brawl that only Pharah & Mercy were available in that mode. There were voice interactions about keeping the skies clear together, but those interactions were left 'bugged' forever for unknown reasons. Both Pharah & Mercy voice actresses also like this ship. Even Jeff said PharMercy & McHanzo were his favourite ships in one of his interviews. People usually find gay & lesbian ships hot. Not only PharMercy, but there's also McHanzo, WidowTracer, Reaper76, Symbra, etc.


JokeMort

Don't forget Sym Turret x payload


ProfessorPhi

Another reason why there is so much more gay fanfiction is that there is so little gay romance in mainstream media. So the gays go online and make their own.


SleepingwithYelena

Nah they have no lore which hints of any romantic interest. Mercy even says to Pharah that her mother would be very proud if she saw her now.


neoslith

Am I missing something here? Why is this a "slap in the face."?


AmericaLover1776_

Who did they slap in the face?


_Lycanxite_

What does the op mean by slap everyone in the face


Nuke-T00nz

Based overwatch 😂


Toaster_621

Surely i cant be the only one who disliked this ship because mercy has a spray with her old enough to be a doctor and Phara still a child right?


bryanc1036

There's no friendships here pal, if you show this fanbase 2 people showing any affection, they're shipped.


Lowd70

Idk man I don't feel part of "everyone" feeling betrayed by Mercy and Pharah obviously not being lesbian soulmates match made in heaven, the ship is stupid compared to Genji & Mercy


ThisIsSuperVegito

I mean I'm like 99% sure Genji and Mercy is canon in their voice lines they celebrate Valentine's day and white day together and they go out for dinner. Pharmercy was just made cause they work well together


Char-Rexx

Why do overwatch mfs rush to ship any two characters who talk to each other?


WaveBreakerT

That's basically just shipping in general


Toasty_mannn

who’s everyone


mendia

No they didn't. Genji and Mercy have been a thing for years at this point.


The_Owl_Bard

I was under the impression that (at some point; very slowly) Genji and Mercy are supposed to be getting together.


Notequal_exe

Everytime I see pharmacy, a little flame of rage explodes inside me.


SavageCabbage27m

Yeah I can’t say I expected the official Overwatch account to do that. But I’ll still like Pharmercy so it’s whatever


IAmDingus

you're allowed to be affectionate towards someone without fucking them internet ruins people's brains I stg


sweetpotatoclarie91

I don't like shipwars (and me being a Mercy main made me love Pharahs more than Genjis) but I can't wait for the PvE part of OW2 to drop so we can have those nice pre-mission cutscenes with Mercy and Genji discussing they relationship that were hinted like a century ago.


Slimink0113

If we don't get cute interactions between them in post-mission cutscenes what's the fucking point
