I'm not into Half-Life as much anymore (I migrated from one Valve game to another lol) but it's just insane to me seeing how people get so bent on the Southern Barney headcanon.

Like, GOD FORBID this dude, who's voice has a southern accent to it (yes, it's vague but it's still there), is headcanoned to say yee-haw and like/do cowboy things.

It's called a headcanon for a reason. We're just adding a personal seasoning to this guy who has, what, 10 minutes of screen time total in HL2? Like good lord he's already bland from being a forgotten tertiary Valve character, why can't we add what we want?

it's not even too far-fetched. I've read and seen many fics and art pieces where it fits well when it's not overbearing! And even if it is, it's not like it's a problematic or harmful headcanon. Some of y'all act like it's degrading to his already bare-bones personality/story. He's literally just some guy.

Get a grip.

Anyways back to TF2 lol

guys very important poll.

#like damn the way some people talk about hating this heacanon so much makes me think they're getting paid to do so #already had to unfollow a couple of people for it #so childish honestly #if barney was a main character with a distinguished story/background i'd understand #but literally he is just some guy #i'd even say if you took him out of the game it wouldnt change much #so why tf make a big stink out of a headcanon that plays on his vague southern accent?#haters always gotta find something to hate lol #gatekeeping much?#anyways #back to drawing my fav cowboy engineer #hehe what if I drew tf2 engineer with barney and made them both say yeehaw #it'd piss off the naysayers soooo bad #tempted #gator bellows #technicalgator art #technicalgator reblog
