Don't use the talking dog and talking gorilla as a reason to deny accurate writing in a piece of fictional work, please. It gives people an excuse for lazy writing, that doesn't care for the readers or audience's own understanding. Both Winston and Lucky have been explained in a way that's in line with Overwatch's own themes.
Sorry, it's just my pet peeve when people make the argument, "It's a fictional world, so what does it matter?" A writer, RPer or not, should always do their best to make sure their audience understands what's going on in a story and why, as long as it's pertinent to the plot and the setting, itself. Allowing yourself to sink into the mindset of, "There's a talking dog and magic, so accuracy, logic, and explanations don't matter." It both tells your readers that you don't care about the story or characters enough to delve deeper into how they work, and that their understanding doesn't matter to you. ;-( And that sucks.
And I'm not saying you guys are doing that, don't misunderstand my words here, I just want to clarify why I absolutely hate when people make that the basis of their argument. It rubs me the wrong way.
@Vicier
Took a bit of looking into? Your scenario was ripped directly from an episode of House. Season 2 Episode 17, if anyone is interested. The problem with House? It's not medically accurate. A quick wikipedia search told me that diarrhoea, bloody or otherwise, has nothing to do with Erdheim-Chester disease. It affects the heart, lungs and areas of the brain, alongside fucking up your bone marrow. Diagnosis wouldn't involve a colonoscopy either, and "Purple papules"? Papules aren't subcutaneous, they only appear on one's skin, not on the inside of their organs.
Come on, man. If you're going to roleplay a medical professional, at least do your research.
How about this RP's ships? Those are always fun to talk about.
@MiddleEarthRoze Did someone say ships?
My OTP is Widowmaker/Tracer. I love the tall femme/small butch femmeslash dynamic, and I will go down with this ship, as long as it ends in a truly tragic and bittersweet end for one or both of them. Same goes for Soldier: 76/Reaper, which is my second favourite (and honestly, their pre-canon dynamic on its own would be my favourite if that was where it ended).
I also think Blizzard should just make all the characters queer and be done with it, so my opinion clearly matters little.
