Never heard of that context for "Schweinehund". Figured it was just if Schwein or Hund alone wasn't harsh enough, you'd call them both. In German, you can pretty much string nouns together for as long as need to describe something. Kraftfahrzeughaftpflichtversicherung for example (basically means car insurance)
@lonemaster92903 ай бұрын
23:00 As a german I gotta point out here that Schweinehund is still in use, but not with any connotation that is nearly as heavy as that. I admittedly know barely anything about its useage during or around the time of WWII, but nowadays it typically refers to one's "inner pig-dog", meaning one's pig-like affinity for messiness, and the dog-like affinity for blindly following your urges, which you would have to overcome in order to get something done. Whether or not this was tied to minorities at some point I cannot say, but it most likely wasn't picked for that in TF2

true, "overcoming the inner pig-dog" is a pretty common expression for displaying self dicipline and doing a chore or sth. instead of sth. you would enjoy, but i think in this context its more insult "Schweinehund" or "Sauhund". Sauhunde were dogs used for boar hunting and generally attributed with agression, lack of immorality but also bravery, using it as an insult implies opposing the means and actions of the other person, but also kinda crediting them with a weird form of respect.

What I hate is media rarely represents Russian history/aesthetics outside of the USSR. There is the occasional references to Cossacks, or late Imperial Russia, but practically never early Imperial/Medieval. I also cant think of any examples of representation for the steppe peoples in Sibiria. (Almost done) I think "funny" Russian characters should actually have a Russian sense of humor. I think Zarya from Overwatch does this the best. Lastly, as much as I like how many Russian characters are tanky classes (my favorite kind to play) I *really* think there should be more inventor/artist/scientist Russian characters (i.e. Viktor from LoL). An INSANE ammount of ideas, art and technology came from Russia thoughout her history, and highlighting that could bring more positive light to how people see Russia(ns).

If you check the developers commentary nodes in tf2 they mention that they are deliberate stereotypes to represent what Americans in the 60s thought these nationalities are like.
@Silverwind873 ай бұрын
In my opinion, it's all about context. Spy, being rather condescending, may seem like a reinforcement of the stereotype that French people are rude. However, he's an homage to spy characters like James Bond, who are famous for dry wit and deadpan banter. Soldier is essentially a parody of Cold War era United States nationalism. Perfect for the game's setting. Medic may seem like a Mengele-type butcher of a mad scientist, but there's actually nothing to imply that he was a Nazi back in Germany. He's actually closer to the archetype of the disgraced scientist, similar to characters like Doc Brown or the infamous Victor Frankenstein. They could've made him a Soviet doctor and his personality still totally would've worked. Engineer is, in my opinion, a great subversion of stereotypes. He's a Texan with a calm and kind demeanor who's always polite, even to his enemies. The characters in TF2 all have very specific reasons to be written like this. It's all about the personality.
@kaschey61453 ай бұрын

Nazi association is so weird to me as a German. Sometimes the most regular stuff gets associated with nazi because someone be it a nazi or from the wehrmacht or luftwaffe or whatever commonly said it. Its like if people said rizz during WW2 and now we think of it as nazi talk. They spoke German, we speak german, theres trends that have nothing to do with nazis but were used during the times of nazi regime. Schweinehund is just an insult, im confident it isnt associated with nazi ideology.

Australian here, Sniper is a 3.5 Sure, he says stuff like "bloody" and "piss" a lot, but he also says a bunch of other stuff that doesn't really represent Australian culture very well. Absolutely no one says "crikey" or "Truckie" here; we tend to say other stuff like "Tradie" and "Gronk". We are simular to British people in the sense that we call people "dogs". Not many references to Australian landmarks, either. There's no mentions of Uluru/Airs Rock or the Eureka Tower. In all honesty, I would've liked it if there was a reference to the "big" landmarks (The Big Strawberry, The Big Banana, The Big Pineapple and The Big Guitar) Maybe in the form of an item called "The Big Bunch". The voice acting is alright; it's not terrible, but it's not great either. I think The Sniper needs more cosmetics in reference to our culture; maybe a hat called "December Sunnies" (Just a different pair of sunglasses where his hat would usually go) or maybe a cosmetic that gives him shorts and pluggers/thongs (Which is Australian slang for "flip flops") I hope the non-australians out there find my comment helpful and informative :)

My take on Heavy: i love his origin, ran away with his family when revolution and civil war started, so he has more of a late russian empire take when talking about his guns. Melee... yeah, kgb, gru references, model is good though, it is actually Soviet boxing gloves, i think I've seen exact same pair of gloves somewhere in my grandparents house. Personality is a stereotype. He is tough on the outside but loving in inside is a thing that is starting to become next basic russian character idea people use to "not offend" natives. But for tf2 time it was really good. My rating would be 7-8/10. The looks are there, the weapons can be justified, personality is fine, story is what is carrying the character for me.
