I got into the Overwatch fandom and now I need to write a bunch of fanfiction. No smut just fluff, angst, memes, funny stories that come from the deepest depths of my mind, the 'what these characters would do' segments, and character x character.

Warning: It's a rant. Be prepared. I lost braincells over this.

Despite my small platform, I think that it can be ok for me to address certain things here and there with some of my opinions. As long as I don't always bombard you all with this kind of content, because you guys are here for the fanfics after all. Anyways here's the thing that has been bothering me:

Here's a little color chart of a few of them made by someone else:
