To anyone looking for actual posts critiquing the item and suggesting changes, please post them here as a way for them not to be lost in the absolute nonsense occurring in the comments.

If I did have to ask for an addition, I'd like to see a full length demonstration video of this skin on all applicable weapons in game from the warpaint preview screen, being inspected on a standard map, and then from a third person perspective. I can understand that it would be a bit of a time consuming process, but I believe showing even a handful of weapons from this kind of perspective would help lend to people's thoughts on whether they would want it in the game or not.

Edit: If possible, please upload this warpaint to Mods.tf as well. Make sure all of your submissions (War paints, cosmetics, etc) are also readily available to download off of Mods.tf (or Gamebanana) when you submit them to the workshop. That's the way I was able to turn my opinion around on items like the Gnarliest Garb, in which an in-game demonstration was more favorable than the preview material.

mods.tf does not support anything other than cosmetics, it does not support weapons or war paints. Also unfortunately showing off custom war paints in game is very hard given how difficult it is to make them, as valve has not given us any official tools for them and we mostly have to trial and error everything ourselves.

we could possibly upload to gaembanana

Apologies for the mistake regarding Mods.tf. I believe a way to mitigate the issue of custom war-paint displays would be the video format I suggested in my second post.

I want you to humor me for a moment, and try to the best of your ability to answer a few questions.

For a consistent answer, I'd specifically ask you to disregard your notions of the artists, disregard social issues, disregard any misgivings you may have about others and disregard any misgivings you would perceive others would have about you. Separate all things that are not this item, and look at it with an isolated, focused perspective.

If this item was already in the game, let's say added with the original skin collections, what about its design in terms of conceptual theme and execution would either draw you to it or turn you away from it?

If this item isn't to your liking, but you could see others possibly liking it, what about it would you see fit to change to enhance its quality for the game?

If it is to your liking, but there's something off, again, what would you change?

While I do not approve of the situation in the comments section (which prompted the creation of this discussion thread to dull out actual critique without being stifled), I would ask you to leave that there and bring something productive to the table here.

i really like this warpaint because it has a recognizable design that isn't based on a repeating pattern. the pastel pink and blue convine really well with each other, and the cream and pastel yellow allow for the weapon silluete to be recognizable

This is just a non-compliment so you can pretend that you aren't projecting transsexual propaganda onto what's "literally just cotton candy xDD" and your pride flag pfp is betraying you

Did you take the time to answer my question yet?

I'm not answering the question because I don't want this obvious attempt at leftist idpol cringe in the game in any form. Seethe.

I do not care about your ideals.

I do not care about the ideals of the creators.

Ideals, politics, beliefs, all of those have no weight when it comes to criticizing this warpaint for what it is, rather than the politics of the day or the beliefs of its creators.

I do not care for any other concept except for what you may or may not think about the war paint itself.

If you can put those things aside, I think you may have something objectively valuable to say about the war paint and the war paint alone.

You obviously do, Mr. P. Intellect, because all you're doing is trying to brute force a different answer out of me which I don't have nor care to make up. This war paint was made as a thinly veiled attempt to turn TF2 into a melting pot ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that caters to the most annoying parts of Twitter and makes it about THEM with no respect for TF2's history or cultural significance on the internet. I'd rather have an actual team colored war paint someone thought would be cool to make instead of something made solely to circlejerk for attention.

This thread was meant for critiques about the warpaint itself, not about the character of its creators. Please keep the comments geared towards critiques about the warpaint.

However, I'd ask what you mean by team colored warpaint, since this is technically team colored, but with light blue and pink rather than standard red and blue.

Do you think this item would be better if the color schemes were changed to a more standard red and blue, like a strawberry red and a blueberry blue? I could see that as a nice change, since it'd be more team coordinated.

Okay. "This warpaint was made as an excuse for a certain group of people to jerk themselves off and feel more important than they actually are." There's my criticism.
