Should VALVe Ban/Replace the Pyro for Encouraging Pyromania in TF2?

[Into Forever!]

In case you never knew:

Pyromania is a chronic mental malady characterized by irresistible urges, (compulsions) to set fires.

It is an impulse control ailment marked by obsession and compulsion to set fires, distinct from arson, which involves setting fires for personal gain.

Pyromania is a serious mental health condition that requires professional diagnosis and treatment.

If you or someone you know is struggling with pyromania, seek help from a qualified mental health professional.

Interesting statistics for you to look at:

• Children and adolescents: Most cases of pyromania disorder are found in this age group (What Is Pyromania? Symptoms, Causes, Statistics, and Treatment, May 25, 2022)
  
  
• Males: Of all those diagnosed with pyromania, 90% are male (Pyromania - New World Encyclopedia)
  
  
• Younger population: Pyromaniacs hold a very small proportion of psychiatric hospital admissions, suggesting that the majority of cases occur in children and teenagers (Pyromania, May 20, 2024).

That means the Pyro is affecting almost every single Team Fortress player, who can also potentialy be pyromaniac.

Solutions:

• Remove/replace the Pyro
  
• Remove the Shooting Star
  
• Remove/replace the Soldier
  
• Remove/replace the Demoman
  
• Sun-on-a-Stick and Batsaber have to go
  
• Remove the Pomson 6000, C.A.P.P.E.R, LV3 Sentry Gun
  
• Replace the Huo-Long Heater with a suitable alternative

I could have missed something -- let me know in the comment section below, if so.

To summarize, Pyromania is a chronic mental disorder affecting almost every Team Fortress player, with 90% being male.

So we don't enable pyromaniac TF2 players, and to discourage pyromania, VALVe should consider removing/replacing the Pyro, the Shooting Star, the Soldier, the Demoman, Sun-on-a-Stick, Batsaber, Pomson 6000, C.A.P.P.E.R, LV3 Sentry Gun, and Huo-Long Heater.

If I got what you imply here right you don't actually believe it's bait, hence your post.

Are you aware how many people are struggling hard with pyromania?
It is not anywhere near funny.

Pyromania is NOT bait, it's a serious issue worldwide, especially in Afghanistan.

Calling out your asinine post out as bait is not "falling for it"
Just another sad cry for attention.

I think it's some sort of fishing rod.... perhaps they are saying pyromania will cause people to fish?
