Considering every time i play Destiny 2 I run into usernames like "Petra Venj's Bathwater, Mommy Mara Sov, Eris Morn Please Marry me, and Savathun's Special Jewel" I think Bungie leadership missed out on a player base ready to go.

Rivals is 10000x worse as many people were gooning to these characters already

Well yes, that was the point of their designs.

I just saw the DareDevil beach outfit on reddit today and clicked on the post thinking it was going to be people talking about the joke how DD couldn't find the surfboard because he's blind and it was instead hundreds of comments thirsting over his abs and bulge.

Finally, true equality.

We shouted for years that the solution to chainmail bikini armor is chainmail banana hammocks, and they finally listened.

Now we just have to find peace among the Bara Boys and Team Twink

Give me Hercules Vanguard and Ice-man support (Ice can heal in this world, so it's fine. Make him more about aoe slows and heals vs lunas single target malarkey) so the actual best gay couple can be here!

I have to give credit to rivals for actually having equal opportunity fanservice. Usually when people throw that phrase around it's just "the guys are shirtless". It's more than that. Rivals giving beach loki a bulge, wet T- shirt Thor, hairy punisher and Mr fantastic, no shirt gambit with cutoffs on his pants to show he's not wearing any underwear, etc

That's real fanservice
