Hey, I am Overlord Lettuce, jack-of-art-trades and proud owner of brainworms the size of fully grown pythons regarding this niche little game called Team Fortress 2. If art starring armed dudes in primary colors is somewhere within the realm of your interests, give me a follow.

Question: So Zesty defends people's running around in game with swastika's cause it's their right to free speech, but that right to free speech doesn't cover mapmakers making a joke in support for civil rights cause it's political...
So, how does that work exactly?
Also needless to say, I completely disagree with his point in the deleted clip.
Showing support for trans people (and the entire LGBTQ+ community) in-game is not “injecting sociopolitics” it's showing support for a group of people who deserve support.

It's getting so depressing being a creative for this game.

It was literally unplayable for the general public since s&box hasn't had a full public release yet. The development was on indefinite hiatus and was using an entirely new codebase afaik (leaked code being the excuse the Open fortress & TF2C dev's got).

See I just don't think that it's productive to shame people who abuse a system. If the system is being abused, the creators of the system should respond. We don't tell the bot hosters to "stop running bots", we tell Valve to deal with it. Because it's their responsibility.

Sure, it's Valve's IP, but it's consistently only people using the TF2 IP they will go after. Meanwhile people in the Portal community are left to their own devices and see what it leads to: Banger fan-created content (re: Portal Revolution).

The problem with FUNKe's video wasn't it's contents (it was actually pretty pro-workshop creator). The problem is that the wider public took away entirely wrong conclussions.
No matter how many times people try to bring FUNKe when discussing how he “ruined” TF2 art-style discussions, he was 100% right about everything in his video.
TF2 is really funny but that comes from it’s writing and connection to it’s theming. There’s an effort to be made.

The "official" ways of creatively contributing are slowly rotting. Making cosmetics for this game, you're competing with a decade worth of items for +-70 slots a year and in case your items make it in, have your hard work tied to the umpteenth stale, broken, bot-infested update.

"The Heavy Update" is just HL3 all over again. Stop idolizing Valve-made content and give community content the respect it deserves. People are doing far cooler stuff with this game then Valve ever has, but everything dies cause this community has the attentionspan of a goldfish

Screw it, I am just going to say it:
While it's funny seeing a bunch of posts recently, clueing people in to some of the weird nonsense slung at workshop creators, I hope the wider TF2 community figures out that most "critiques" of the workshop are BS.
And that BS has a source...

Might as well use this to give some thoughts on Classic. They nailed the vibe, even with all the new stuff they added onto it. It maanages to very much feel like the product of an earlier era.i
Dear "TF2 Purists" and "Workshop Critics"! I would like to propose something!
If you don't want a dying 16 year old shooter game to become more fun and whacky for new players, I would highly recommend playing THIS instead!
No community gamemodes, no vScript, no bullshit!

You've got me conflicted. This is Valve, actually making content for their own game for once, but also, they could have just slapped the Selbyen Seal on there. It would be a way better piece of marketing since it's the one viral thing that is actually drawing people to the update

This got me thinking: This scream fortress is basically bringing the exact same amount of content (minus war paints) as the summer update but the reception is completely different, I can quickly think of 2 reasons why:
Man i hate to put a downer on things, but i genuinely feel little to no hype for Scream Fortress this year and it sucks
i used to be regularly checking the blog, rushing to see all the new items/effects added, hopping on to play the new maps but that spark is just not there rn

It isn't good faith criticism though. And it's not targeted at Valve. It's mostly a lot of shitslinging at workshop creators because unlike all the other previous subjects of "criticism", the workshop doesn't have youtuber representation who could lay out a counter narrative.

Wrong. The workshop is a crowdsourcing platform. Creators provide assets and the community can voice their like/dislike of those assets, but it's ultimately Valve who decides what is included in the game with no other party having any real options to influence that decisicion.
@OverlordLettuce
The whole point of the workshop is for the community and people who play TF2 to decide on what they want in-game, not just the people who make the items.

Everybody already cites TF2 lootboxes as the progenitor of lootboxes in every game. But I don't think most people realize just how bad Valve's brand of lootbox is. It's gambling all the way. It's an even bigger gamble to get anything into these, then unbox anything out of them.
