No, I just think some of them are completely ridiculous examples and the thing about Rays' dad doesn't even really have anything to do with the TF2 community.

Nobody should allow these kind of things to be a detriment to their lives, it's unnecessary and it's entirely within their control.

It's not my intention to be condescending I just think it's a genuine shame that this is happening.

Makes me sad to read that you're letting this kind of stuff get to you in such a major way. The hair touching stuff is obviously fucking weird and over the line but as for things like overhearing people use the word nigger referring to the enemy team, I just don't get it. The word doesn't mean the same thing to them, or to me apparently, as it does to you. Context is everything. The way you react to people using a word you don't like is entirely on you, it doesn't have to be a big deal.
Some of this behaviour is genuinely shitty and I can understand why it'd upset you but as for "someone's DAD who doesn't even have anything to do with the scene said something a bit racist" what the fuck dude that is being over-sensitive.
All of that being said, I don't think "I hate niggers XD" is particularly funny or in good taste but I just don't think it should be something you allow to get under your skin so much.

Nobody has the balls to go to valve HQ and tell them to their faces that their game is dying and it's their fault. Which I can't say I blame them for, those would have to be some pretty big balls.

This frustrates me about Valve's "data-driven" approach. They can't seem to tell that it doesn't matter how much data they're gathering because it's all fucking junk data in the first place. They need only look to this community and the many hard working and passionate people who could give them constructive and specific advice on what exactly to do to make the game successful (or at the very least playable) as a competitive game, but either out of stubbornness or incompetence they'd rather send out a shitty "survey" that won't tell them anything that they can actually use constructively.
It's actually infuriating how retarded it is. Valve see that people aren't happy with the current state of TF2, so they implement an end-of-game survey that only asks "Were you satisfied with this game?" HOW is that supposed to help anything at all? You already know people aren't satisfied and you've already been in contact with several people who can tell you exactly why people aren't satisfied and how to take steps to fix it. FUCK YOU VALVE.

Your opinion is wrong

This seems like normal TF2 update stuff really, it makes me sad to realise how low my expectations are for this game.

I can't wait for the pyro update to come along and completely fuck everything forever so I can finally give up hope that valve will ever try to understand this game and what the community wants from it.

This is garbage, this update could have been shat out by two people over a week period, obviously discounting the work that went into the community created stuff which valve can't be credited for even slightly.
As for these maps I'm honestly shocked. I'd rather play on fucking mario_kart than ctf_turbine.

don't forget 100% crits

Can we get a Hillary Clinton Fact Check™ on this please?

To expand on what I said earlier:
The most telling things to me about the state of the TF2 team and their problems taking the game forward aren't the massive glaring faults like the disastrous MM launch. Anyone can see how that just wasn't up to scratch and I believe with time Valve can bring it up to standard, after all they do maintain CS:GO and Dota 2.

The things that make me worry the most are things like Valve adding that pointless shove attack to the shortstop. It just speaks to how little they seem to understand about what has a meaningful impact on how the game plays and how seriously they're taking the issue of game balance.
Sure, with the shortstop it's a harmless little gimmick but it really makes me worry about what awful thing the team might think is a good addition to the game in the upcoming pyro update, (whenever that might actually happen) or perhaps more likely just what existing awful thing they might not address at all.
I can only hope they prove me wrong.

Bumpsy is a fucking no-skill character, bumpsy mains please hold W off a cliff THANK YOU GOODBYE

I can't help but wonder what could those compromises possibly be, I'm not convinced valve even know what they want in the first place for anyone to be able to come to a compromise.

IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME
