Overwatch released another little webcomic last night that introduced us to Tracer's girlfriend, Emily, via a last minute dash for some Christmas shopping. I think this panel just about sums that up.

Although, one person's denial-filled idea that full on kissing between girls might just be a 'British thing' has rightfully taken a beating. 

There's also this, which kind of nails the stupidity of anyone being upset in the first place on any level. 

However, there is also a far bigger issue to consider here.

Finally, someone really needs to check into this.
