We seriously need to talk about hitbox powercreep

At this point it's getting ridiculous how real hitbox powercreep is. The biggest hitboxes almost exclusively belong to older characters. Just from the beginning of this year we've had only skinny characters. Domina is the only immobile big hitbox hero we've had and she's a tank.

Anran - Tracer sized, fast, jumps high, ridiculous mobility, invulnerability, throws up VFX

Cat - tiny, flying, fast (probably the easiest to hit from this list)

Mizuki - also skinny and fast

Emre - probably the biggest hitbox we've had on a DPS and he's only Soldier sized

Sierra - absolutely ridiculous size hitbox, with her bobble when strafing, just disgustingly hard to hit

Shion - larger than the previous ones but not nearly the size of something like Echo, has a million mobility cooldowns, overhealth, etc.

Let's go back now:

Vendetta - skinny hitbox, fast as shit, flying through the air half the time, breaking her spine on every hit, looks like inflatable tube man when attacking (and has the hitbox to show for it)

Wuyang - also really small hitbox and fast as hell

Freja - here things weren't so annoying so she has a bit bigger hitbox

Other older ones like Juno and Illari, KIRIKO (who keeps her damn hand in front of her face) are notoriously hard to hit as well. Not one of these characters has even come closer to 200hp, and size/mobility/health relation doesn't seem to be a factor in Blizzard's design philosophy anymore (looking at you Anran).

The new support will also likely be a stick-inspired omnic with 10 kinds of mobility who wobbles around when attacking. At some point the game is going to be so saturated that not playing a skinny asian girl will be akin to throwing.

Why is it so hard to create a canonically gay couple instead of some weird gay4u plot?

I've seen all the weird things authors think of like MC being deaf and can only hear his love interest, or see, or the only one he can sleep next to, or his scent or whatever weird ass plot they think of. Not to mention the entire plethora of "I'm not gay but I can try guys ig". I'm wondering why is it so bad for them to just be gay and their meeting to be more about the circumstances and how they develop relationships instead of trying to build attraction from nothing between 2 "straight" guys?
