The internet has been around for quite a while and during my decades of observing it a lot of patterns have arisen. For example, every time around this year some people decide to get really mad about Starbucks’ holiday cups. It doesn’t even feel like Christmas until the news tells me how a paper tube is attacking my wholesome family values.
More recently, an even more fascinating trend has developed: Blizzard releasing a female Overwatch hero that looks exactly like the rest of their female Overwatch heroes and the fanbase collectively masturbating to it.
We saw this just a few months ago with the spring release of Brigitte, a slender female badass with European facial features and a quirky personality. This time it’s Ashe, a slender female badass with European facial features and a quirky personality… and uh, a cowboy hat?
While Ashe’s uninspired character design may be further proof that Blizzard is losing touch with gamers, the launch trailer at BlizzCon was enough to get people interested in the sexy outlaw. Like always, the Genji mains at Pornhub Insights have been watching over the interest in Overwatch’s latest character and have generated some graphs to highlight their findings.
Within days after the character’s announcement earlier this month, searches for the term “Ashe” skyrocketed by more than 1200%. The extra interest in the franchise also increased, as searches for “Overwatch” more than doubled. Considering how much popular porn based on the popular E-Sports game already is, that’s an impressive feat.
Considering Blizzard is focusing more on marketing the game as an intellectual property to sell merchandise than improving the gameplay of existing heroes and maps, they’re probably happy with this influx of Overwatch porn. If it sounds like I’m jaded and using this post as a soapbox to vent my personal frustrations with the company, you are absolutely correct.
For a more in depth look at how Overwatch’s Ashe and other fictional video game characters effect the way people watch internet porn, head over to Pornhub Insights to read more.
