yeah but, this don't fit the art style, and the argument "well this other hat does not fit the art style" is real bad because you are endorsing the game loosing more of its identity every crate.

I guess i don't really understand the artstyle comment. I'm open to being wrong but no one has given me any specific reason why outside of the eyes (which I fixed).

As far as whether or not it fits Sniper, i don't think it's really any bigger of a stretch than the gator set. Snipers a hunter > hunters hunt caribous. Sniper has become the prey. Not to mention this isn't the first time this association was made.

Its in the cartoonish style, the idenity was kinda lost a long time ago,The main reason people hate is "Muh furry bashing" which is dumb.

I understand the art style problem but its more of valves unwillingness to follow it. Besides after 10 years you gotta get creative with cosmetic

With how far we strayed from the style, anything goes at this point that isnt to much of a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ meme

This is just an animal head which looks more like the bird head all things considered in its style anyways

I still don't think it's anything but people grasping at straws, looking for any reason at all besides "furry = bad >:[", which I absolutely understand. TF2 claims to be rated M17+ but I hear a lot of 13/14 y/o COD lobby lingo in a lot of casual matches when I wear Batter's Beak or Head Prize

You're not wrong, but the argument "the identity has lost a long time ago" feels kind of just... meh. Like, I get it, but we shouldn't pretend that it's dead so the banana hat is okay in tf2, we could still at least try to put things into tf2 that aren't too far away from the art style. The previous 3 cosmetic cases showed an uprising in quality cosmetics that fit better into the game, so why not try to finally claim back tf2's art style and throw in some wacky stuff too to please everyone (Not too wacky though, I hate the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ banana hat).

About the deer head, anything overly wacky like animal heads should just go into being halloween restricted as they have been around for a long time now anyways and like that, it wouldn't offend too many people. And the furries will do furry things in community servers anyways (and I know, I'm a furry too, but I'm just trying to stay realistic instead of going with bias).

The bananna hat is a mistake we will live with for the rest of tf2's life span.

Yes it has been getting better recently but this was also made before the winter crates dropped this hat is the good kind of wacky, but i would also rather see it restricted to holidays, maybe a christmas restriction due to its christmas themeing who knows.

Well... if I have to go with bias then I gotta admit, this is an absolutely adorable cosmetic. The most adorable I have ever seen for a long time now. But I would rather stick with a halloween restriction to not make things too complicated. But I gotta admit, we got a lot of items that are strictly christmas themed even if they don't got a restriction, and all of them suck, so in a way, I don't think I would mind it a christmas restriction.
