Pre-programmed victory poses by fictional characters in video games have been the subject of controversy, particularly where the victory pose has been regarded as overly sexualized. [1] Strategy first-person shooter Overwatch in particular was criticized by press for its overly sexualized victory poses, [2] leading to certain animations being removed from the game by developers Blizzard.

Role-playing games such as Final Fantasy often have accompanying victory poses after encounters. These snippets of animation are usually played alongside a short music clip (known as fanfare), with characters celebrating their win. [4]
