It isn't.

You're right, it isn't. Some are. But the hat itself isn't an MLP hat, specifically.

BLUH BLUH BRONIES I HATE TF2 NOW.

That's how most people sound.

[10ebbor10]

Noh, really, I listened to most of the lines and having only some minor knowledge of the show, (cultural osmosis), I didn't feel like I was missing many in-jokes.

Does the game keep crashing for some people too?

I'm not getting that problem, but I've seen others complaining about it.

I've heard it has to do with the witching hour. The Skeletons crash the game.

The rage tastes delicious.

With regards to ponies, if MLP didn't exist at all and this hat still got made and had all these lines recorded, everyone would just laugh it up because it's hilarious. I honestly don't care about MLP in the slightest, either, and those lines are amazing. Also, to those saying "Oh, it's not a MLP hat, you're reading too much into it!", it's pretty obviously a MLP hat with the trademark filed off, don't try to deny it.

As for the crashes, I haven't had any trouble with that, so, I can't really contribute to that conversation.

What, unicorns, happiness and magic are not that uncommon themes you know.

[umiman]

I didn't even think of MLP until someone mentioned it here, so yeah. Doesn't seem very MLP-centric to me.

It's one of those, "if the only tool you have is a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail" things. A nice way of saying bronies need to get out more.

[Greenstarfanatic]

Ah, Generalizations.

I still wonder why people dislike Bronies as whole most of the time, though.

We're good people, some just make a bad name for us, and those are the ones who end up getting focused on by everyone.

[Xotes]

The hat itself was obviously created as a MLP reference. Hell, I don't even watch the show, and I can tell it's meant to be a Fluttershy mane.

Important note! I'm not complaining about the hat in the slightest, because I think it's hilarious and Valve should make more like it, but to think that the creators didn't have MLP in mind when they made it is off-base.

I feel for ya, pal, I do. Keep on enjoying your show about the ponies, and have fun with it!

Except it's a unicorn hat. That is pink.

[Xotes]

With a Fluttershy mane atop it. Seriously, look her up, it's identical.

The funniest part about all this is that if they got rid of the mane, no one could make any connection towards MLP.

[WealthyRadish]

Not sure what can be gained by denying that it's MLP with a horn, considering it doesn't make a difference either way and is glaringly obvious. I bet this'll be ninja'd by 8 posts pointing out the minor differences in the hair or whatever (edit: it wasn't! ), but any sane person who doesn't watch the shows will immediately recognize it as such. Valve would have to be pretty oblivious to not anticipate that, and the fact that it has some directly referential quotes should make that explicitly clear.

People probably will get mad and quit, but I think that's probably more due to their policy of whoring crates out every month than anything else, with this just being the latest low.

For crashes immediately on launch, try fiddling with your dx version in the launch options. I think somewhere down the line in a recentish update Valve broke something with dx 9 and lower, so try setting it to 8 and 8.1 manually (and remove it from the launch options after the first run). I was having issues with that when I revisited tf2 after a few months.

Hm. I dunno, for some reason, to me, it doesn't look much like it.

Plus, Fluttershy wasn't a unicorn. [/nitpicking]

But whatever. I might get it, if I feel like spending money. And even if I did, I'd spend it on keys.
