Why doesn't TF2 have a female character/ if you could make a female char, what would she be like?
- Thread starter MercurySteam
- Start date
No female characters because then the engineer can't say "You ladies shoulda brought some men along to fight with ya!" as an insult or a joke - then it would just be a politically incorrect sexist remark. Ok it still is but it would be super offensive to the social norms.
Its never been confirmed, but most people fall into the belief the Pyro is female.
You can find video on YouTube, there is a "locker room" on one of the levels (sorry, i forget which, been awhile since I played TF2, nade spam) where the Pyro's locker has a red shirt and pink purse with a flower on it.
Most people take this to mean the Pyro is a woman.

You all know that they couldn't put in a female character because a 10-year-old scripter would make a mod for it faster than you can say "pointless"
Like other people on this thread, I like to think the Pyro is a chick. Even if it's not.
I love the stuff people come up with for the 10th class, though.

My friend raised his points around this, they were rather well thought out.
A) Most people wouldn't like playing (or even seeing) female characters unless they fit a certain stereotypical body type (thin, not too tall, busty.) This would severely screw up one of the most intuitive parts of TF2: The silhouettes. It would be hard to make them easily distinguishable and still fit the aesthetic requirement most male players would demand.
B) You. Don't. Hit. Girls.
Yes I know it comes off as sexist, but it's true. Most males have an inherent inability to hit a girl. In my friend's words "I see a spy, I shoot him. I see a female spy, I feel a twinge of guilt... which might cost me my life." Alternatively, if the roles are reversed, you don't really feel guilty putting a knife into a heavy's back. He's the big dumb slow guy. If it was a girl, and you hear her scream as you stab...
Those are a couple reasons why female characters would cause issues for this game.
Personally, I have nothing against it. I'd quite like to play a female scout. Possibly designed like

Wow people out there have certainly been creative with their illustrativeness of females for TF2. Nice finds!
