Neurodivergent Representation in TF2?
Neurodivergent (adjective) means having a differing in mental or neurological function from what is considered typical or normal (frequently used with reference to autistic spectrum disorders); not neurotypical. In other words, term “neurodivergent” describes people whose brain differences affect how their brain works. That means they have different strengths and challenges from people whose brains don't have those differences. The possible differences include medical disorders, learning disabilities and other conditions.

Statistically, It is thought that about 15–20 percent of the population is neurodiverse. This includes up to 10 percent of people who are diagnosed with dyslexia, 6 percent with dyspraxia, 5 percent with ADHD and 1–2 percent with autism.

I think it's time for TF2 to have some actual good representation of neurodiversity to boost awareness and erase hatred towards neurodivergent groups of different kinds of people/otherkins.

Pyro is straight-up insane and the other mercs are all psychopaths to some degree, doesn't get much more disordered in the head than that.

We already have a weapon with rockets that diverge neurotically on their own.

I do believe that’s case closed, OP

The term "neurodivergent" pisses me off. Just accept you have a neurodevelopmental disorder and stop trying to put a pink-roses perspective on it.

What are otherkins?
Otherkin are a subculture of people who identify as not entirely human. Some otherkin believe their identity derives from reincarnation, a non-human soul, ancestry, symbolism, or metaphor. Others attribute it to unusual psychology and do not hold spiritual beliefs on the subject. Categories of otherkin include Fictionkin, those who identify as fictional characters; Conceptkin, who identify as abstract concepts; Weatherkin, who identify as weather systems; as well as a number of other more obscure categories.

It would make very much sense to have LGBTQIAPP+, POC, neurodivergents, mentally ill and otherkins representation to eradicate hatred and bias towards them.

Cruel people that have no empathy towards living beings that differentiate from a human life form. You can be just as fullified in terms of hunger as without killing innocent animals. You can choose to be vegan. You can choose to not kill beings that equally deserve happiness and life just as you.
