Response from Blizzard’s Jeff Kaplan, Overwatch’s Game Director
We'll replace the pose. We want *everyone* to feel strong and heroic in our community. The last thing we want to do is make someone feel uncomfortable, under-appreciated or misrepresented.
Apologies and we'll continue to try to do better.
Update: Kaplan recently posted
a follow-up, elucidating on the team's decision to replace the animation.
