I agree and i think we all came to play not to discuss politics wich clearly only makes controversy and divides communities, almost makes me belive this was the intention of the creators in the first place, why hide it like that? make a tie style or put it on front of the credential.

hopeful valve revises the items better for now on because even if only a "easter egg" this is just forcing and ideology into others and lack of professionalism from the creators deleting comments they dont like.

True bro, if someone would have added something these people don't like they would be crying.

Wait what’s happening

They are so bold and brave.

Subterfuge is their only method

I thought the whole closet era was over.
Aren't you supposed to be proud of yourselves now or something?
Why the subterfuge and sneaking then?
You mean to tell me you're so proud of yourselves you hide your flags where no one can see now? Or maybe is this a remnant of the closet era? If so, wouldn't you want it to be up-front where everyone can see it now? Why don't you make another one with it on the front then? I'm sure it'll get accepted to be put in the game when it's not hidden right?

Why hid it in a dishonest way? When such items like as Flair!, Photo Badge, Clan Pride and Conscientious Objector serve the purpose much better.

I'm using tilt controls!

It wouldnt be accepted if it was visible. Only because it does not follow the Workshop Guidelines which ensure additions to the game fit the TF2 artstyle. For example, following the TF2 Color Family chart. Making it a non-visible easter egg allows it to be added without breaking any of Valve's Workshop rules or guidelines.

It would have taken you less time to look that up than it took to make your comment.

Pointless.

"Why hid it in a dishonest way? When such items like as Flair!, Photo Badge, Clan Pride and Conscientious Objector serve the purpose much better."

Hiding the flag only proves how dishonest Wurl is. He's already stated that he hid it purely to spite people. He does this out of bad faith. It is not an easter egg, it's a statement and his statement is that he does not mind using stealth to get his way. If there is no issue since it is hidden, why add it at all? The entire prerequisite is that we know it is there, the wiki states it is there. There is nothing hidden about it.
