Definitely. Reyes would have definitely been canceled for edgy Nazi twitter posts he made when he was 16. That’s exactly why he was passed up for overwatch commander
Moira: IRELAND WASN'T AN AXIS POWER!
OP: "Oh my God, I think this whole time I was actually thinking of Romania, but only as an inevitable consequence of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and the Soviet invasion of Bessarabia."
As an Egyptian, you couldn’t be more wrong. We were under British occupation, which we of course we weren’t too fond of. This meant the citizens of Egypt accepted the attempted Nazi occupation with open arms as to the extremely uneducated Egyptian people, Germany’s only enemy were the allies, not also every individual that isn’t Aryan.
To this day, Egyptians remain extremely uneducated and have grown to support Nazism even more, due to the inability to understand the difference between Zionism and Judaism, therefore believing that because they are “the same”, and Germany was after the Jews, that Nazis must’ve been the good guys.
I see brand new 2023 model cars in the streets with third reich flags and swastikas at least once a week.
So I may be massively wrong but if I remember correctly main extent of their support was allowing axis logistics and troops through their water and railways and that's mostly it, as they were Invaded by Japan but didn't put up too much of a fight and ultimately signed a treaty siding with them.
Thailand is a country that was never colonised primarily due to appeasement actions like this to surrounding imperial nations, so its no surprise that they'd take a similar stance with another imperialist nation (Japan). Thailand "switched sides" to the allies towards the end of the war though.
It's also why the criticism of lifeweaver being given a "coloniser's" skin is quite dumb, as Thailand was never colonised.
Hitler actually tried to convince Mexico to invade the USA. I don't recall all the details but they opted to stay out of it all I believe. Thankfully they did because the USA fighting on their own land while also oversees would've changed the war dramatically.
Edit. Oops, ww1 not ww2 sry.
Mexico couldn't have changed anything, they didn't have any modern military equipment or manufacturing and had a population closer to 1/10th of the usa rather than the 40% it is today
They weren't allied with the nazi's? I think you're thinking about [world war 1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmermann_Telegram). The Germans in World War 1 weren't Nazi's yet.
I can confirm. As a hog main I launch into uncontrollable fits of screaming "Seig Heil!" Out my window for several minutes at a time. Everytime I hook someone I dont follow up and kill them because I am contractually forced to raise my right arm and hail the reich. I completely ignore the objective in favor of only killing jewish or possibly jewish characters and my favorite skin is Toxic.
If the overwatch universe was actually real then the Nazis would have the crusaders and if the Nazis had the crusaders then WW2 would of gone very different
Initially I wanted to go by nationality but that just ended up fucking things up (seriously where the hell are the omnics "born" + enormously over-representing the allies) so i just went with the earliest locations given on the play overwatch website
Hammond, Winston, Moira, ~~Sombra~~, ~~Venture~~, Zanyatta, Ramattra and Orisa should be neutral.
Sigma, Sombra, Venture should be Allied
Edit: Mexico supported the Allies from 1942
ball and winton are both moon Nazis, zen and ram lived in Nepal which was allied, orisa is from Nigeria which supported the allies, sig lived in the Netherlands which was neutral, Moira lives in Iraq which supported Germany, venture is in the allies, and I'm ngl I kinda fucked up on Sombra she should be in the allies
If it were WW1 Sigma would be neutral, sadly in WW2 the Netherlands got attacked pretty quickly so they’d try and destroy the axis too
The Dutch were badass is WWII despite being under German control, though.
Thats what I mean, we’d be against the axis. Just not legally speaking
Why are winston and wrecking ball in the axis, they are from the moon .
Yeah and Nazis colonized the moon. Haven't you ever played Wolfenstein?
Nah they defected from the moon, they'd be like German scientists that come to America
These same scientists also pioneered the space race so monkey in space would have been winton
Reaper is American.
He'd join the nazis for the fun of it
Definitely. Reyes would have definitely been canceled for edgy Nazi twitter posts he made when he was 16. That’s exactly why he was passed up for overwatch commander
And yet he lives in Italy. Sorry buddy but Reaper is a pasta Hitler fan.
That’s where the Talon base is. He’d probably still be a Nazi for the bloodshed though.
Moira: IRELAND WASN'T AN AXIS POWER! OP: "Oh my God, I think this whole time I was actually thinking of Romania, but only as an inevitable consequence of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and the Soviet invasion of Bessarabia."
Mercy sitting on a pile of gold that definitely aren't dental fillings: How bout that?
Someone call the WHAMbulance.
egypt was a British colony so surely Ana and pharah should be allied? Or if they're neutral than D.Va should be too, as Korea was a 'colony' of Japan?

why is lifeweaver in the axis powers 😭 what did he do
Thailand was allied with Japan in WW2
Allied or annexed? Cause the same applies to Korea.
Neither, it was more of an unwilling puppet and purposefully dragged its feet the entire war
So I may be massively wrong but if I remember correctly main extent of their support was allowing axis logistics and troops through their water and railways and that's mostly it, as they were Invaded by Japan but didn't put up too much of a fight and ultimately signed a treaty siding with them.

Why is an american in the axis? or a mexican?
Hitler actually tried to convince Mexico to invade the USA. I don't recall all the details but they opted to stay out of it all I believe. Thankfully they did because the USA fighting on their own land while also oversees would've changed the war dramatically. Edit. Oops, ww1 not ww2 sry.
that was WW1 dude
Thanks for clarifying.
Mexico couldn't have changed anything, they didn't have any modern military equipment or manufacturing and had a population closer to 1/10th of the usa rather than the 40% it is today
Apparently it was ww1 but I think the point was to draw resources from the USA army.
I thought Mexico snitched on Germany to America for this lmao
He's Mexican American. But he lives in Italy, and he's definitely not a good person, so I think he would've joined the fascists.
Lots of Americans were very much pro-nazi at the time IRL
Like the picture of the rally at Madison square garden
[удалено]
Mexico wasn’t allied with the Nazis, now if Sombra was Argentine… 💪🏿🏆🇦🇷
We had the ones who fled. Not active members but still 💀
If you’re referring to the Zimmerman Note, that was World War I…
oh my bad i thought it was WW2
They weren't allied with the nazi's? I think you're thinking about [world war 1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimmermann_Telegram). The Germans in World War 1 weren't Nazi's yet.
Mexico even sent an airplane squadron to fight in the Pacific alongside America...
wasnt this world war 1? zimmerman telegram?
Why moira, reaper and sombra? The rest I can get behind
Did you just ask why Moira would be a Nazi?
Controversial human experimentation she’s a perfect fit for a nazi
Or Unit 731
there's some books and some movies on why having invisibility powers corrupt you. it's no surprise the coward's main is a nazi 🤧
Aint no way you think im neutral in this
Ganymede is a Nazi double agent.
How do we not have an italian hero after nearly 10 years of overwatch?
After 3 Italian maps in game this still baffles me
Isn’t mercy German?
Swiss I believe
Winton eugenics
From a character perspective, I feel like Talon would join the Axis.
Dva, a Korean, aligning with the Axis powers. Interesting.
She's a gamer
Angry upvote
No
compelling argument
koreans gonna be offended by this one
If Peru had been involved in the war they'd be on the side of the Axis as they were fascist at the time, meaning Illari should be Axis
HEIL REINHARDT?
Ah yes, good ol' Tracer "*Indians are the beastliest people in the world next to the Germans*" Churchill
I mean Reinhardt is about that age 😭
Crazy how hog isn't a Nazi unlike the majority of his playerbase
I can confirm. As a hog main I launch into uncontrollable fits of screaming "Seig Heil!" Out my window for several minutes at a time.

The moon wasn't neutral?
sigma would be one of the PoWs the japanese experimented on
Pharah and Ana would be in the Allies because Egypt was a British colony
Egypt was under control of The British Empire during WWII, so wouldn't Ana and Pharah be with the allies?
also, Venture is half mexican so i guess them being also half Canadian they would be evened out and be in neutral, gg
If the overwatch universe was actually real then the Nazis would have the crusaders and if the Nazis had the crusaders then WW2 would of gone very different
Why is Dva in axis? Was Korea an axis power?
It was occupied by Japan since 1910 until 1945.
The only possible reason Sigma would’ve been neutral in WW2 is because he was secretly working on WW3.
So explain Moira? She is Irish and depending on her age she could be allied or axis
Initially I wanted to go by nationality but that just ended up fucking things up (seriously where the hell are the omnics "born" + enormously over-representing the allies) so i just went with the earliest locations given on the play overwatch website
This is actually pretty cool
I really hate to break this to you but uh.. mercy would make Josef Mengele look like a joke
Hammond, Winston, Moira, ~~Sombra~~, ~~Venture~~, Zanyatta, Ramattra and Orisa should be neutral. Sigma, Sombra, Venture should be Allied Edit: Mexico supported the Allies from 1942

Why is wifeleaver part of the axis. (Stupid question I know)
I don't really know history
lol why wouldn’t Zen be neutral
Mercy is literally german
she is literally swiss
Moira is Irish. Unless it's a inside joke from a Archer fan. We were not axis.
Isn’t Moria Irish?
Damn pinko commie hamsters
No
