OH GOD NOT A FRENCH CHARACTER

[–] P1d40n3@hexbear.net 34 points 4 weeks ago

Woke has gone to far. The French aren't even a state, let alone a people!

Edit: holy shit this is sarcasm isn’t it?

they included an oddly specific, typically non-woke criteria: "french person", so i'd wager yes.

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 18 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah it went straight over my head since I only played TF2 briefly like a decade ago and I've seen this ridiculous stuff from these people unironically.

[–] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 28 points 4 weeks ago

No, but you see, it's not just any black character, it's a RANDOM black ones you know? Because black characters are exclusively introduced into stories per personal Soros request, and with the only purpose of crushing white people in this godforsaken Europe/America that we live in right now where politics are EVERYWHERE. A RANDOM black character in my game is POLITICAL, it deviates from my perceived NORMAL which is white characters who are obviously APOLITICAL.

Also, the character that literally serves as the game's mascot is a plus for fat acceptance

and slavic excellence

And now they are coming to fuck US!

So listen up, boy; or pornography starring your mother will be the second worst thing to happen to you today.

What's a ND character look like

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 24 points 4 weeks ago (4 children)

Black guy

Demoman

Gender ambiguous character

Pyro

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 19 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Guy with prosthetics: engineer (if gunslonger equipped)

[–] sisatici@hexbear.net 14 points 4 weeks ago

He always has prosthetic arm, he just hides it under glove by default

[–] Aeurek@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

Demoman has a pegleg cosmetic available as well

[–] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 4 weeks ago

don't forget:

french person

spy

[–] ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 11 points 3 weeks ago

neurodivergent

I'd say only Spy and Heavy have particularly strong cases for not being ND.

[–] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

I'm pretty sure this is the bit but who knows with internets

This but unironically?

There's one glaring issue with TF2 wich is obviously the lack of women, but it still is at its core a chaotic queer caricature of WW II.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 19 points 4 weeks ago

And that would be absolutely horrifying and a sign of civilization collapsing, compared to the wholesome RETVRN of flashbang

frothingfash: "The all-American patriot is also portrayed as a blithering idiot comic relief character too! Yeah, they're all comic relief, but it's only non-SJWy if white men are exempt!"
