Controversies

Cohn generated controversy in regards to many comments made on her social media and several live-streams about the conflict between Israel and Palestine. When questioned about her political beliefs, she went on record claiming she believes her ideologies are aligned with those depicted in Overwatch;

“	Pharah: We are hope. Reinhardt: We are honor! D.Va: We are courage! Soldier 76: We are justice. Mercy: We are compassion. Tracer: We are determination! Genji: We are harmony. Winston: We are Overwatch.	„

This statement, among many others, stirred further reactions from fans who have been actively advocating for her replacement. A Change.org petition demanded that she be recast generated over 6900 signatures.

This controversy was reignited once the official Overwatch Twitter account hid a reply demanding for a recast on their post about their collaboration with Porsche. Prompting players to further protest about the subject.
