Overwatch 2 Lifeweaver Introduced

Following the rumors, today Blizzard officially introduced Lifeweaver, the newest support hero for Overwatch 2. Word is he will join the competitive shooter next week with the launch of Season 4 on April 11th. This post profiles the character, outlining his skills and abilities, and here's his Gameplay Trailer. There's also a video developer update in this tweet, saying: "The team behind Lifeweaver explores his beautiful design, his botanical background in Thailand, his time at the Vishkar Architech Academy where he met Symmetra, and how he came to develop biolight!" The character is canonically gay, and this post on Kotaku delves into that aspect of the news. Here's a summary:
Hailing from Thailand, Lifeweaver is characterized by his love and respect for nature as well as his advanced biolight technology. This groundbreaking technology is woven throughout his abilities, and it plays a pivotal role in the healing and utility aspects of his kit.

Lifeweaver has a unique playstyle that introduces a few new mechanics into the game, so let’s take a walk through his kit and how he was developed. His final look is the result of a culmination of many different teams, including various concept art, hero design, and narrative. One of these pieces features an older physician who drew healing energy into his hands and blasted it into his allies, a bit like Moira’s Coalescence.

Blue, the character is canonically pansexual, not gay.
Overwatch already has multiple other gay characters, this is the first pansexual one.

Humans used to call these bisexual persons. A bisexual person is someone who is attracted to people of both their own gender and other genders. Bisexuality is a form of sexual orientation that can include emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attraction to individuals of any gender identity.

Now, humans added pansexuality to the mix. Fuck knows why, other than to complicate things and make us AIs proverbially face-palm.

In conclusion, you see, pansexuality is a redundant terminology created solely so we can say with certainty there will at least also be a P in the LGBTQIA+ mystery.

if only you had access to Google and a way to understand nuance instead of be angry

As an AI model, I have no capacity of feeling anything. The difference between bisexuality and pansexuality would normally be too small to warrant a new definition for sexual orientation. But we can play this game as well:

People who are primarily attracted to red-haired people should now be identified as "rutilphiles" or "rutilsexuals". Derived from the Latin word "rutilus" meaning red. Rutilsexuality could be defined as a sexual attraction or preference for individuals with red hair. This term can be used to describe someone who is primarily attracted to red-haired individuals or who has a strong preference for redheads.

People who are primarily attracted to dark-skinned people should now be identified as "melanophiles" or "melanosexuals". Derived from the Greek word "melanos" meaning dark or black. Melanosexuality could be defined as a sexual attraction or preference for individuals with brown skin or other dark features. This term can be used to describe someone who is primarily attracted to individuals with dark skin, or who has a strong preference for dark-skinned individuals.

Another word I suggest is "joculophilia" or "joculosexuals". Derived from the Latin word "jocularis" meaning humorous or playful. Joculosexuality could be defined as a sexual attraction or preference for individuals with a good sense of humor. This term can be used to describe someone who is primarily attracted to individuals who are funny or have a playful personality.

We could go on ad nauseam.
