Thinking about things again

like... how do normal job stuff work for tf industries, like the hiring process and promotions and stuff like that

If you become too old and thus too slow to keep being a Scout, do you get fired? or can you switch to being a Soldier or something?

Can you get promoted from team Fortress to team Echelon? Can you get demoted from team Echelon to team Fortress?

Do they kill you if you get fired?

Does Medic have to do taxes?

Does Medic provide the dental mentioned in Poker Night At The Inventory?

What other types of insurance do they get?

How does the respawn machine work? What do you do if it's damaged?

Do they get vacation days? Do they get sick days?

Are the mercs unionized?

Are all the Engineers related or is it just tfc and tf2? Same with Spies and Scouts, do they have to be related?

Why do Heavy weapons guy have bomb in his ass(see: the X-ray in the background of meet the Medic)? How the hell did it get that high up?

GabeN I require explanation!

Edit: going through the PNATI voicelines again, apparently at least red team is unionized and they do get medical

Okay so Sniper tf2 being canonically ~28 years old is "a mistake." I believe that. What's funny is just how simple of a mistake it really was. Like ppl act like it's crazy math across countless editions of continuity conducted by a content-starved fandom in the throes of its "death spiral" that the comics writers never could've accounted for, when in reality it's like. Step 1 this series of comics is set four years after the game takes place. Step 2 this flashback showing Sniper's backstory is said to be 30 years ago. Extremely point A and point B. They could've written literally any other number

The more I get into Team Fortress 2 the more I realize that POC are almost nonexistent. And I don't really get why. I'm mainly going to focus on two groups: African Americans and Aboriginal Australians.

I started looking into Aboriginal Australians for an OC that I'm working on and it made me realize that they just don't exist in TF2. Australia was found by a bunch of Europeans and they found Australium. If the Aboriginal people did exist their would have been a major conflict of some kind. The invaders trying to get to such a precious metal and the Natives fighting to protect their home. Of course this never happens, but like why? It would make the world so much more interesting to have a conflict like that.

As an African American I tend to look intensely at how we are portrayed in media. And just like Aboriginal Australians, African Americans don't seem to exist in TF2. The only African American we see is John Henry in the first TF team. We honestly don't get much context for how American history was altered within the world (I am specifically talking about the fact that Lincoln was a Pyro cause he HAD to be twice as unhinged as he was IRL) and the affects it had on the world. We do get small hints thanks to how people react to Demoman, but even that is limiting.

All of this is coming from someone who loves lore and is very concentrated on storytelling. I understand that TF2 is suppose to just be wacky hijinks with nine crazy people but ultimately I think we could have been given a little more. Even within the fandom people don't really talk about the alternate history within TF2. I like to think that Lincoln was able to heavily decrease racism because his Pyro tendences lead to him burning the South into submission and then his ghost stuck around to make sure it stuck. This is all just a small observation that I wanted to share.

So since we're listening to tf2 fandom wiki... about ages and dates and things...

According to the tf2 wiki, Late 1972 is when the whole thing happened with the reassembly of the mercs. And Scout is 27 during this time because of Spy saying '27 years ago I dropped a Sex Bomb on your mother' in that one infamous panel.

1968 when the in-game things take place, Scout is 23, because 1972 - 1968= 4. 27-4=23.

'Nuff said. yawns.

This was mostly because I've seen some people saying Scout was 27 the whole time or something like that. No, he was only 27 in 1972 when Saxton Hale lost Mann. Co.
