Scout: Man, It Smells Like Henweigh In Here.

scout: man, it smells like henweigh in here.

spy: ......

scout: *staring expectantly*

engineer: spy? doesn't it smell like henweigh in here?

spy, with the most long suffering sigh: what's a henweigh-

scout: ABOUT 10 POUNDS!

THIS. THIS!!!

People need to stop trying to justify racism and bigotry by saying it’s “time accurate”. TF2 lore is NOwhere near accurate to real life, I mean, Abraham Lincoln was the first Pyro and invented stairs?? 🤨🤨 AND AUSTRALIA IS LITERALLY FUTURISTIC??????

And look at the mercs. You really think they are anywhere near cis and/or straight? 🤨🤨

Plus! As it was said in the above post, lgbtq people have always existed. Trying to pretend being apart of the community is a new thing is unrealistic and a harmful way of thinking.

anyway having “period accurate” bigotry in funny hat game fan content is stupid and erases the fact that lgbtq people have always existed

Ghost got a second therapist

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

You know how like squidward hates spongebob right? or acts like it at least

And how in that one spongebob episode when the dude yelled at Spongbob for delivering the pizza late and Squidward basically beat his ass?

hear me out hear me out

The tf2 mercs but with eachother. Theyll yell at eachother and fight and what not but as soon as someone else tries doing that? You better run for the hills

Scout and Miss Pauling friendship is one of my fave things to think about but I think a lot of people look over the more complex parts (as complex as fucking. TF2 lore gets) like Scout feelings for Miss Pauling are genuine and he's mostly just really lame about it rather the internally a creep but Miss Pauling doesn't owe liking him due to that, even if you go in the transfem Scout route. I think there have to be a talk and a lot of awkward feelings but i think after a while they would be good friends. Sorry to ramble here in your askbox I just wish this dynamic was explored more in the fandom without outright dismissing character traits of either of them.

No yeah ur literally so right n I've def talked before about how this is the ONE vaguely complex canon character thing I get to be snotty about and that I think like. there are Implications(tm) if you choose to make it so that Scout was NEVER attracted to Pauling ever (usually bc "he's gay") or Pauling is actually attracted to men and now she and Scout can date!! like I'm trying not to be A Hater but I rlly do think a lot of people just haven't deconstructed how they think about men (for the sake of the intentions of the source material, Scout will be a man in this post) who are attracted to women, especially the "loser who gets the girl in the end" archetype. If Scout is attracted to Pauling, he is not in any way owed her reciprocation, EVEN IF she were attracted to men. And people have friends that they're attracted to who don't reciprocate for whatever reason and they manage to work it out. The actual canon Scout/Pauling dynamic (which is that he's really into her and thinks she's into him but she's not and he's lame) IS very funny, but if you want to imagine any sort of closure for these characters it has to involve him coming to terms with it and like. learning to deal. I am SO happy that there seem to be absolutely zero hints of Scout and Pauling actually hooking up at the end of the comic (but what do I know) bc I am SICK of every piece of media on the planet feeling the need to shove a man and a woman together because he likes her and therefore deserves her. This is like, tf2 level nuance! It's extremely simple! Idk this is such like. a common relationship thing that happens in real life and if people can't handle it when cartoon hat people do it idk how they'd handle it if it were happening to them or to one of their friends
