I think a tankie class would perform well in a real army. Why has no one thought of this yet?

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Which is funny, I'm pretty sure the comics positioned Heavy against the Soviets (which makes no sense given Heavy's background). The one criticism I have of TF2 as a setting; I'm convinced a writer just had anti-commie brainworms
You're pretty much right. His dad was a white soldier but apparently nearly all of his cosmetics in the game are based around Soviet or overall Russian culture. Weirdly enough, most of those cosmetics don't say anything bad about the USSR and actually have some pretty cheeky jokes; going so far as to let you dress up as Stalin with a machine-gun.
in the same issue as well here we have them poking fun at America; makes me actually wonder the political alignment of the writers/Valve in general. Rich dem-socs?
lmao i forgot how funny the TF2 comics were
they're based in what's basically seattle so probably, yeah
He canonically has a PHD in Russian literature so I feel like he’d be a Kropotkin fan or smth
The comics establish Heavy's dad was a counterrevolutionary, except because of the game's timeframe they have to also establish he was a "counterrevolutionary" in 1941
His father was a white soldier; did white-aligned counter revolutionaries even exist in 1941?? Otherwise, there's nothing to suggest he collabed with Nazis. Think the writers fucked up on that one
I don't think they intended him to be a collaborator, but it's funny how they got so brainwormed they accidentally implied it
That was it, thank you-- it'd been years since I last paid attention to the comics, so I couldn't quite remember how that all shook out
In hindsight that might be the same flavor bit as Soldier thinking he's fighting in World War 2 the more I mull it over
IIRC he fought in France well into the 50s.
That's what I wonder. At the same time, you can never really discount brainworms. Soldier also thinks all of his team are American despite the obviously french, german and russian members lmfao.
and his best friend who speaks with a comically strong scottish accent
Demoman my beloved main. For some reason I thought they still hated eachother; must have gotten them mixed up
It's supposed to be set in 60s-ish setting under the pretense of mercenaries fighting each other for cold war reasons. It's not all that surprising.
