Why

Have you ever played TF2? The content is definitely something that modern journalism would use to stir folks up if it was released in these times.

It's purposely rude and often uses stereotypes, but the point is that it's supposed to be cartoonishly ridiculous in its character depictions.

Yes. I have played it since the orange box and still do occasionally. This is “you couldn’t make blazing saddles today” nonsense. The satire is and has been apparent for a long time in large part because Valve generally doesn’t punch down.

I love the arguement that you couldn't make blazing saddles today because if you handed the script to a producer, they'd take one look and go "we can't make this! This is just blazing saddles, and it came out years ago"

Lol ok I’ll give you that. But I also think you get what I mean. There’s actually a fantastic video called that covers this issue incredibly well. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
