That little line in the middle there, "our existence is not political," is how they truly think and why we cannot win any "political" battle against them. Its the most important part of the Leftist ideology.
They are truly convinced that none of this is political, its a fight for their life, and any opposition to it cannot stand because its an open threat to them instead of a disagreement on an ideological level.
Its why they cannot and will not ever cede ground, and cannot be reasoned with to stand on a compromised ground. You either let them fuck your children, or you are trying to kill them. Which leaves only the options of eradicating them entirely or letting them stand unopposed to commit evils.
There are quite a few people on the right who don't understand this and keep trying to reason with them, you had his kind of emotionally charged activism happening a lot with BLM as well.
The Right is suffering from a particularly dangerous delusion. In this fantasy, they are finally given the opportunity to be on a massive stage in front of the whole country if not world, with hundreds of millions of rational, decent, intelligent, calm, pragmatic, moral, and long thinking audience members. The Right finally gets a chance to bring all their charts and graphs and facts and proof and is able to put on such a show that is so compelling, so moving, so utterly convincing, while their leftist opponent just stands there and sputters with rage, that a new era of traditional conservatism sweeps the land and reigns for generations. The Right is constantly looking for this stage like Cortez and El Dorado. Every time their arguments are totally ignored, ever time the left laughs in their face, every time their accurate date is immediately drowns out like a fart in a hurricane by millions of screaming college kids on tiktok, they tell themselves something was missing. They didn't have the right stage or right audience, they didn't have the time or chance fully explain.
Imagine an old white guy in a Tweed suit standing at the lectern in a college lecture hall pointing at a chalkboard. The entire lecture hall is empty except for three or four people listening raptly. Outside the lecture hall a riot is taking place and thousands of rioters are pouring gasoline on the lecture hall getting ready to burn it down.
That is the real position the Right is in. They'll be spluttering about rules and decorum and how it's not fair to the very end. You want a picture of the future, imagine the stolen Nike clad foot of a sassy overweight black angry lesbian stomping on your face, forever. You will never, ever, win these people over with arguments, data, or facts. Anyone who even tries is a fool who deserves to be defeated. They need to be destroyed, not convinced. The vast majority of the right will never actually do it though, because they're still waiting for that rhetorical victory to end all victories. Like all the leftists are going to throw down their signs and bricks, take a shower, cut their hair, and then lift the right leaning speaker up on their shoulders with cheers of "now we finally understand!". It's never going to happen.
Whenever this is brought up. I always hear some shit about the right should be the better person, the bigger person, the moral person.
Guess where that has lead you to... You cannot be the better person with these people, because they do not care about decorum or anything, only destroying their opponents and winning.
It's genuinely depressing. No wonder they're so slimy. When you've so intrinsically tied your existence to a lie, why wouldn't you say whatever to get what you want? The only thing that matters is that you get what you want, after all....
Even if they believe that, they would never be capable of winning anything on their own. It is only their willingness to submit which qualifies them for the roles they've been assigned.
To them, there is no double standard because they're The Good Guys and everyone else is The Bad Guys. Is it a double standard when people cheer when the Avengers win and boo when Thanos wins? No, because you're supposed to boo The Bad Guys. It's good vs evil.
Based Pyro's post at 3:33 invokes the trinity, satanic trannies will boil in their own leaking blood and shit for eternity.
It's amazing that Valve taking a "neutral" stance on not displaying their dumb fucking flags is considered hostile action. It truly proves how unhinged and deranged their belief system ultimately is.
They treat everything like it's political, everything like it's a culture war. And when questioned why they would sneak something like that in, you get that their existence isn't political. Except everything is political with them, they've said that for at least a decade now.
I don't want any real life politics in my video games. Allegories and in game politics is fine. But when you do put actual political stuff in games, I have to resist and remove, because if I don't, you're emboldened to do more because you treat it like a victory in a fucking war campaign and have the nerve to say "why do you have trans people in your head 24/7". I'm not picking apart that argument again, so here's an analogy.
I'm gonna shit on a plate and expect you to eat it. You're going to enjoy it, or I hate you forever and you're a horrible fascist. You'd also be expected to absolutely love and tolerate at least a little piece of it, so I have an inroad to shit on your living room couch next time, then all over your house, and then your life. And you have to like every piece of it or else. That's you. That's how you sound with your absolute bullshit.
I don't want any real life politics in my video games.
People need to stop saying that. The problem isn't real life politics in video games, it's shitty people putting their shitty real life politics in video games.
This means that a Fifth Generation Warfare conflict can be fought and won without a single bullet being fired, or even most of the population knowing that a war is taking place.
Valve doesn't make any cosmetics for TF2 anymore, they just sell fan made items. A fan made a misc and hid a suicide flag in the textures as a (successful) attempt to slip ideology in a hat collecting simulator.
There is a rainbow tie accessory for Pyro, make of that what you will. IIRC it may also be possible to customize colors for some items to make it a rainbow.
It seems possible to me that Valve's issue was more that someone was trying to sneak this by without getting it approved rather than the content itself. But I do think Valve tries to stay out of any overt politics.
With Pyro you at least have the plausible deniability of Pyro being canonically psychotic and viewing the world through a lens of rainbows, unicorns and lollipops.
Valve lets the community make cosmetic items in their games (Dota2, CSGO, TF2). You submit an item, sometimes people get to vote for it, and eventually it gets put in the game and people can collect it / buy it.
For the cosmetic in question there is an id card involved over the a shirt. Looks completely normal.
Except the backside of the card has the fag flags. Something that you would never see when looking at the cosmetic.
So a guy at Valve looked at the cosmetic and thought "Yeah looks fine, can be in the game". Cause why would he assume the cosmetic creator would put a hidden message in the cosmetic?
Everything is political (until it's not). I'd say force these savages to reconcile their conflicting beliefs, but they'd word game their way out of it like the slimy freaks they are.

Psst. Those people aren't actually "on the right" at all.
I get the thinking but I see people react this way to emotionally charged shit when it comes to Palestine as well and all of it annoys me.
The proper response to such a line is "what rights are Trans/Bisexual people missing that everyone else has?"
They have all the same rights.

Eventually, it leads to being the most principled corpse in a mass grave.

Well I know where MY position on that lines up…
Even if they believe that, they would never be capable of winning anything on their own. It is only their willingness to submit which qualifies them for the roles they've been assigned.
"Haha, seethe more rightoids"
"Noooo, you can't tell me to seethe moar when the tables are turned!"
There's sore losers, and then there's the terminally online.

They cheer when they conquer cultural territory - planting a flag on things that were once not theirs, but now are.
Of course they are going to be appalled when they 'lose' that same territory.

I just wanted to play video games in peace.

That's because we are in a war.

The cemetery in Troon is a double lawl!
that got me so hard, life truly imitates art
What a shitshow these activist troons minds must be..
How did the flags get into the game?
Was it some community mod? Did a Valve dev put it into the core game? Did troons just make their existence up on some wiki?
Valve doesn't make any cosmetics for TF2 anymore, they just sell fan made items. A fan made a misc and hid a suicide flag in the textures as a (successful) attempt to slip ideology in a hat collecting simulator.
Forever the best description of TF2.
So does that mean it’s against Valves terms for fan made items to have fag flags?
There is a rainbow tie accessory for Pyro, make of that what you will. IIRC it may also be possible to customize colors for some items to make it a rainbow.
It seems possible to me that Valve's issue was more that someone was trying to sneak this by without getting it approved rather than the content itself. But I do think Valve tries to stay out of any overt politics.

Troon cemeteries don't have crosses - suicides aren't buried in consecrated ground.
Everything is political (until it's not). I'd say force these savages to reconcile their conflicting beliefs, but they'd word game their way out of it like the slimy freaks they are.
If that was an employee who put that in there, then fire them too.
