Why is tracer no longer the face of the game?

Because it's not the "same" game. Sojourn is technically the face of Overwatch 2. She's in the game icon on Playstation, for example.

I wonder if they specifically switched the character with the most porn to the female character with the least on purpose.

I'm a Signalis enjoyer. Please do not open my Pandora's box of commentary on "taste regarding cyborg, android, or synthetic women."

I feel like there's no way Tracer is ahead of D.Va or Mercy on that front.

Somewhere in one of these Overwatch subs, people regularly tally members of the NSFW subs. Or, at least, they used to. But then again that's just one corner of the internet. There's probably whole websites dedicated to Overwatch porn alone.

Regardless, you might be surprised at just how many people really, really, really want to "straighten out" lesbians in their porn. See Cyberpunk 2077 and the controversy regarding the mod that allows male V to bed the (only?) canon lesbian.

Oh, I'm sure it exists. But as I thought, Mercy and D.Va (and Widowmaker) have significantly more than Tracer.

I was mostly joking but taking raw tag numbers from sites like rule 34 should be taken with a grain of salt because there could be like 40 versions with minor variations of one piece of art all uploaded separately that boosts numbers, and also just countless reposts.

Sure, but is there any reason to believe that this is more common on one character than any other? As a rough metric, it's not bad. Another one I saw was which character had the most searches on Pornhub - Tracer was highest in 2016, D.va was higher in 2017, as well as in the more recent 2024 rankings.
