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.
