you're both stupid
my friend read all the tf2 comics and liked how dumb Scout and Soldier were and she is 100% correct

The only real issue I have with femclasses is that most of them are just "sexy" versions for the sake of fanservice. It's disgusting and degrading. Especially the skirts I've seen femScout/Medic/Spy wearing. It's terribly stupid and impracticable. Especially in femScout's case; it's stupid to compare baseball to a freakin' WAR. And the femSniper has no excuse to be dressed with that tie-on shirt; it's just to make her sexy. Leave fanservice to fanart; let the model be dressed for an actual war.
there's nothing inherently wrong with fanservice so long as it isn't losing focus on what the character is about. someone like femspy, for example, i could see using sexuality to her advantage and so her wearing fishnets and a head scarf doesn't immediately strike me as unnecessary. another thing to keep in mind is the era they grew up in. Medic wouldn't be wearing a skirt because it was an attractive thing to do, she'd be wearing it because that's just what she'd wear. not to say they'd strictly adhere to that, but it opens a window of plausibility. for the most part there aren't any femmodels that strike me as over sexualized EXCEPT for the femsniper but since she is an original character fulfilling honestly one of the least involved in battle class roles, i'm gonna leave that one alone (with whatever internal issues i might actually have with it).
as for dressing for WAR... remember that tf2 is a very silly game. i don't think war is an appropriate word to describe what they do (unless you're Soldier) because if it was there wouldn't be any hats and they'd all be wearing uniformly 100% practical outfits. i mean for godsake, Spy is running around in a three piece suit and dress shoes! and skirts can't be that bad on the battlefield if Demo can do his job wearing a kilt.
fanservice is a tricky line to define because you want the characters to bring their personalities with them into the fight, but you have to be careful not to take it too far.
regarding the general animosity for femclasses
i tweaked some things and threw in a bonus engie 'cause there really wasn't a lot to work with to give her her own post, but here they all are!
i was gonna wait till i did everyone but i can't get a good Soldier and Pyro is no fun when all you're working with is a mask, but w/e
my method for watercoloring is to panic and hope for the best
Medic look at the viewer what are you doing who are you waving at
(i hope your friend likes it!)
next time i'll make Spy's face visible lolol
SOME HOW MY ORIGINAL PHOTOSHOP FILE DISAPPEARED OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET SO I CAN'T TWEAK WHAT I'D ALREADY DRAWN so i redid it from scratch using the original Scout model instead of the AyesDef one
Warning: Do not attempt to make a model airplane if there is a dad-aged man within a 40 mile radius.
"Pyro's gonna kill us if he sees you wearin' his sweater!" "GET IT OFF!!"
for the anon who requested Sniper helping Demo with a sweater!
(requests are still open btw)
