After nearly two years I’m always impressed that Overwatch is still a thing. Between Blizzard’s penchant for drastically overhauling already balanced gameplay every few months and one of the most toxic player bases I’ve ever experienced, I constantly tell myself I’m going to move on to a new game only to realize I don’t like anything else.
Meanwhile the Overwatch team keeps pumping out new maps and playable heroes, most recently with a support/tank hybrid named Brigitte.
Overwatch’s pride is the effort they put into making the game’s characters inclusive and accessible to all people. They try to avoid some of the more criticized habits of other game developers like over sexualizing female characters. Brigitte is a perfect example of this as the there’s hardly anything sexy about an armor-clad woman with a shield who beats people with a flail.
Except that this is the internet and that’s exactly the kind of stuff some people are into.
Somehow Brigitte porn became a thing and it took both the Overwatch community and the rest of the internet by storm. Always ones to keep on top of the latest trends in pornography, the statisticians and expert Genji mains at Pornhub Insights decided to take a look at this new phenomenon.
After the March 24 update to Overwatch that made Brigitte playable, it took the internet a few days to realize her husky grunts and thick, armored curves were arousing. By March 27 everything clicked and searches for Brigitte porn had spiked by over 6000%!
Considering Overwatch porn was already a hot topic on the internet, the introduction of Brigitte renewed the interest in people who want to see their favorite characters having sex. That makes it even more impressive that the newest hero overshadowed all the previous ones.
It wasn’t even a competition. The gold medal for most searched Overwatch character on Pornhub goes to Brigitte by a huge margin. Personally, I’m surprised to see Mei so low considering she would get my vote for best Overwatch girl. However, it is curious to see Orissa made the list. I wouldn’t think people would find a robot centaur with a machine gun for an arm to be sexy, but there it is.
