What's the deal with the hidden textures in the newest engineer cosmetics?
I can't post pictures at that moment but if you have the 'Desk Manager' just take a look behind the little card with the engineer's face.

Why? What's the purpose? What benefit does it provides?

you made an effort to see it, likely in the loadout menu, good job
now you can forget about it since it doesn't change or affect the game at all
If the trans flag is so unimportant then you shouldn't feel the need to slap it all over everything, especially in areas where it doesn't belong.

If you don't know:

The cosmetic "The Desk Engineer" has the bisexual and transgender flags hidden in the textures.

They saw how much attention that christmas map has gotten with that door, so they decided to do it as well

I edited this comment because it was really horrible to trans people, I do apologise if anyone has seen it.

I think those hidden flags are designed to push a message.

Especially, when they don't fit the theme of cosmetic.

I knew something like this would happen eventually after the whole door incident, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

General consumer doesn't care about the message. The only "-ism" I'd approve is escapism. Away from the bs politics that benefit nobody and only reinforces the divide.

free advertising, someone trying to make a statement or a troll

given the amount of butthurt that spewed the last time this happened I'm guessing it's 1 and 3

At least we care about the game, not just using it as a social media platform

no purpose, no benefit and no harm either since you can't see it
