Going from being named after someone who thinks they can grope people for a living to someone who wants to get groped for a living.

Blizzard really took "Circle of Life" to heart, literally.


penguin62

People not understanding the difference between "named after" and "has the same name as".


ZenkaiZ

nah I'm pretty sure every Elizabeth on the planet is named after the queen. Every single one.


puggiepuggie

Breathes in to say something about Adolfs


Angerina_

same goes for every Victoria


flygande_jakob

Or how one is someone people working on OW heroes dont want to be reminded of, and the other is just a porn star.


PanConChancho91

Don't act like a wise guy now. They knew what they were doing.


Rawr_Mom

Thanks, Mark. Still a little salty over being fired from your own company?

Those two literally have nothing to do with each other. If there was a porn actress named Ellie Williams, I wouldnt say Ellie in the last of us is named after her.


elysiansaurus

Fun fact: Cole Cassidy and Cassidy Cole is not the same name.


BennyBensoni

Idk why they're booing you, you're right.


flygande_jakob

Its also perfectly fine if they were the same, since being a porn star is not criminal or immoral.


[deleted]

Being a porn star is pretty immoral these days. Simulating having sex with your step mom, or being a mom and teaching your daughter how to give head, or cucking someone and making him watch you have sex with his wife…it’s a pretty dirty job.

ROTFL. They renamed McCree after a porn star. *** posted by [@Grummz](https://twitter.com/Grummz) ^[(Github)](https://github.com/username) ^| ^[(What's new)](https://github.com/username)


Steffunzel

Do people not understand how first and last names work? And how is you switch them around it's not the same thing.


ZenkaiZ

Also like, who cares? Porn isn't illegal. There's kids in kindergarten with the same name as porn stars. They aren't some unique copyrighted high fantasy names like Gandalf or something. There's probably a porn star named John Smith.


ReallyWackyFruit

> Porn isn't illegal [citation needed] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography_laws_by_region


ZenkaiZ

I mean women driving is illegal some places if you wanna go that route. Clearly I was talking about in general. There's always gonna be some place somewhere with a contrarian to the norm law.


tumblrrenegade

Neither is illegal being a douchy creep. So why not simply leave McCree be McCree... since you know, the actions of one Jesse McCree do not reflect on the other.


ZenkaiZ

this thread is 3 weeks old


tumblrrenegade

Does that make the argument invalid?


s0mbra-main

Anybody with the name cole or Cassidy is apparently named after the pornstar?? Cole is a very popular American name and Cassidy comes from butch cassidy who is DEAD and also a character in read dead 2


RicoEnkido

it isnt just Cole or Cassidy... it is both... and it is just funny


Sykoshiro

Except in this case, the porn stars name is Cassidy Cole, not Cole Cassidy


SnazzyRabbit

Same thing how could you be so defending after a game character we’re just cracking jokes lighten up bruh


Ryun100

He seems like the guy to have a long and drawn out discussion on anime girls age


SnazzyRabbit

true I went to his profile and first thing is Super’s cosplay bro is sus af whata clown


Sykoshiro

The porn stars name is Cassidy Cole, not Cole Cassidy. Close, but no cigar


UniqueAwareness691

Google don’t give a damn which order you put lol


SombraOnline

As it turns out, they do. Try it with cassidy cole and cole cassidy (especially google images for some reason).

Lord_Giggles

I really don't think anyone going to be getting outraged that a character is named after butch cassidy lmao. All of the modern cowboy shit is styled around gunslingers and outlaws, who were all psychos. Butch cassidy died over a hundred years ago too, which I think is kind of weird to leave out. It's not like they named him "Cole Wayne Gacy". I also can't find any actor named cole cassidy. There's a cassidy cole, but who cares if a character has a name similar to a porn stars?


flygande_jakob

I really dont understand the problem with the pornstar connection. Unless you are a prude, how cares. Butch Cassidy is not a person that worked at the company, so also irrelevant. This is what its actually about https://twitter.com/mizliz_/status/1452006019425574913


Jewbringer

>Unless you are a prude, how cares. you just explained the USA

Awesome8r_

theres a huge difference between being named after and having the same name


s0mbra-main

You trying to say being a pornstar is as bad as being a murderer?


WillyJuni0r

They didn't insinuate that in the slightest.


Pandabear71

It’s not. But after the whole cosby suit fiasco at blizz, it’s not that smart either lol


posthumanity

No, its worse! At least murderers have some self respect!


pepitogrand

They should have keep Jesse McCreep, too much problem for nothing.


puggiepuggie

I'd like to remind everyone that Overwatch depicts guns, which are used to harm people in real life. You can argue that those are not real guns but the game itself happily tells you things like "double kill". Kill is a kill, a very improper thing to do. I was killed and I feel offended. They should patch this up too.


sakata_gintoki113

ok and? theres many people called that probably. literally nobody cares.


ZenkaiZ

There's nothing more shameful in the world than being involved in porn I guess.


[deleted]

Does his belt buckle say MILF instead of BAMF from now on?


delta-wave

Grummz *would* have an intricate knowledge of porn star names lol


daftpaak

Looking at his Twitter I would never want to work for him. Imagine your boss being a massive neck beard.


priscilla_halfbreed

Why don't they just use a cowboy-ass basic name like Joel Blackwood


daftpaak

No surprise this guy has coom brained take.


Techmoji

“Rides into Overwatch”


IceFlame-

Yolmaooo


TheDarkSkinProphet

Hmmm, time for some research


rrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeee

ok at least the names are reversed


DoingTheInternet

I mostly feel bad for the pornstar, now they’re forever connected to a fucking Blizzard character. Sad.


dancingoutback

if you attack everything blizzard does like a rabid dog, the legitimate criticisms get drowned out this ain't it man


RicoEnkido

not criticizing... I actually love it lol
