These fucking faggots secretly and retroactively inserted this shit months after it was added, and mind you the patch date is for the Summer 2024 update that also infamously introduced the Desk Engineer cosmetic that
had the hidden tranny and bisexual flag "easter eggs" behind the badge which were removed a month afterwards per-demand of Eric Smith.
Who's to say more of this hasn't been done, completely unnoticed? Who's to say they won't continue to try to retroactively add this stuff, in maps or even cosmetics as apart of seemly inconspicuous patches? And who's to say they won't try to do this to years-old, decade-old content? This is fucking absurd.
I should note that the main creator of the map is Diva Dan, a known TF2 Emporium faggot whom is mostly likely the person responsible for it's addition.
