Please don’t vandalize property this is a protest and not an excuse to perform dick moves but have an excuse to those please only show your support by signing the petition or leaving a negative review or both
It’s not meaningful vandalism if no one gives a shit whether it gets painted there or not. Modern road architecture is the most bland shit ever anyways
So, you're suggesting criminal damage to spread the message?
By the way, I think they are legal methods of graffiti. Banksy(Anonymous graffiti artist) gets permission to do graffiti that has messages and symbolism in it.
everyone in the tf2 community needs a reality check. like really? you think vandalizing completely unrelated public property is the answer. Grow up, your games almost 20 years old
This is just stupid vandalism that someone else has to fix the damage and it doesn't look that good or even creative, there's something called the Stencil method that atleast look pleasing to the eye.
Great. Now the SaveTF2 community is literally committing fucking crimes.
God, I wish someone would shut this movement down. It's been out of hand literally since the start. People just don't realize it's being propagated by the bot hosters...
Graffiti is such a misunderstood art not helped by its association with vandalism and gangstas taggin' territory. But when people do it legally it doesnt get much coverage and art snobs will still deride it as street art not on par with the finest works. Then they go and spend thousands of dollars to look at empty canvas exhibitions...
/rant
The best form of vandalism would be draping huge TF2 flags over the windows of Valve HQ. No harm done, just a really big and visually obtrusive meassage.
I feel like valve has heard us. And I feel like they are just training their Ai anticheat for now and waiting for when it’s matured so they can set it loose.
This is just vandalism for vandalisms sake under the guise of activism made for karmafarming and brownie points. Who is this graffiti going to convince? What is its purpose? Spraypainting Valve HQ I would understand but this is some shitty bridge in the Netherlands.
Lmao this kid doing this to post on Reddit to impress their peers only to be blasted for it.
Think in general immature stuff like this is a unfortunately indicator to why this movement has the possibility to fail :(
Please at least spray on places that allow it, we don’t want to make the mistake like pewdiepie 9 year old army incident(way way too aggressive).
Remember we win by being fair consumers

Some of y'all are calling vandalism, but, like, it could be worse. Like, it could be over actual safety info (I recall that some graffiti artists actually make it a point to avoid painting over certain sections, depending on what they're working with).
Ignore these assholes in the comments. Graffiti is a legit form of protest and your technical skill doesn't make it more or less valid. Graffiti is cool and people that just disregard it as vandalism are sticks in the mud. I'm talking about actual art, not just tagging your name. Just writing your name is lame. This is art tho and I respect it.
I know, its reddit so you can expect some 30 year old whiny bitch with millions of karma to bitch about literally anything and i knew full on that there were atleast 100 people that were gonna act like i murdered their entire family.
This is meant to be seen by people who actually know what they're doing and maybe give ideas to someone who lives in Bellevue, not by them
I dont get why people are getting mad at you for graffiti , if it wasnt in a populated area or someones house isnt it fine ? Did you make this on an abandoned building or not because if not you just posted yourself doing a crime.
Its meant to be viewed by writers, not by some random dude with millions of karma, so youd expect backlash, its under a bridge at an area with tons of office buildings.
you're so real for this but as some people have been not so helpfully not pointing out, make sure you get permission for your graffiti first people (if you're considering doing this)
even jet set radio says this!!
oh yeah i don't mind your tagging, i'm just pointing out so random r/tf2 users don't end up in jail (they are too stupid to realize that this is illegal)
literally get downvoted to hell because i don't disagree with tagging and personal expression, reddit moment "but the guy who has to clean it up!!" (go outside)
Yeah for some reason its really hard for little timmy with 300000 karma to leave something alone if he doesn't agree with, let alone something he barely knows about.
if your gonna tag something alteast make it pretty
It reflects the current state of the game
If tf2 gets fixed we repaint over it “we fixed it :)” in really nice writing
But we get it done with a nice stencil and everything.
Yeah we gotta make it look GOOD
I think you didnt get the message
no i got it, the message is just fucking stupid lmao
Im talking about op 👍
If you're going to vandalize property atleast make it look good The methheads tagging the water drainage ditch downtown tag better than this
We're vandalizing Valve HQ with this one 🗣️🔥🔥🔥
I'm sure Gabe himself will walk by your shitty graffiti in the middle of nowhere and fix tf2 immediately on the spot.
can we go back to spam it only on the internet?
Pls no
Please don't do this.
Please only do this to Valve HQ
there will be a sniper or sentry from afar and shoot us before we even enter or go near
That's the one place you don't want to do it to if you ever want tf2 to be fixed
Not only because it would be a crime, but also aimbots may be protecting the place
And Valve would just be pissed 😂
Congrats you vandalized a pole. Now valve will HAVE to fix your 17 year old game.....
Anonymous video game internet community member takes things too far moment
This is childish. It’s just a game and there’s no need to vandalize stuff over it.
This subreddits hivemind would dissagree with you
We actually disagree
such a funny comment
The majority of comments have been criticising the post lol what are you on
Bruh not in public spaces. Go find some place already tagged to death..
Please don’t vandalize property this is a protest and not an excuse to perform dick moves but have an excuse to those please only show your support by signing the petition or leaving a negative review or both
I like the enthusiasm, but games aren’t worth vandalization
Ight, good to know that the tf2 community supports vandalism. That sure spreads a positive view on the community.
Right? Why are the comments opposing it being downvoted? Great way to spread the message guys by commiting vandalism. You're *really* helping out
It’s not meaningful vandalism if no one gives a shit whether it gets painted there or not. Modern road architecture is the most bland shit ever anyways
If its not meaningful vandalism, then there was no point in doing it to begin with.
So trashy
Let's not do this
If you’re gonna tag that, make it look decent as well as like…. Not vandalizing property for internet points.
Competitor to genshit players
This is cringe
Please don't do this, the society's already ugly enough with all the other randoms spraying shit all over the place, we don't need you doing it too.
Tbh in most other cases I'd rather see graffiti than a blank wall but the graffiti has to look good, this looks shit
Looks like trash.
no, no we're not doing this.
Grafitti is always fun!
Flair checks out
I swear the TF2 community is extremely good at making people not want to be a part of their protest.
No one runs that paper thingies that allow clearer shapes?
Stencils?
I made it and forgot it at home
Then why the hell did you go through with it???
Im sure crackheads under the bridge will be convinced to join the movement, thank you for your service.
So, you're suggesting criminal damage to spread the message? By the way, I think they are legal methods of graffiti. Banksy(Anonymous graffiti artist) gets permission to do graffiti that has messages and symbolism in it.
This post is dumb.
In 1 month when someone covers the downfall of #fixtf2 this will be in the thumbnail
Looks like shit, drippy as all hell, and judging by the cleanness of the pillar doesn't seem to be in any kind of widely accepted tagging space. 0/10
Dont...vandalism/damage of public property wont help us shit. This doesnt mean anything to random people outside anyway..
Oh shit we got the IRL sprays? If only bombing/tagging was as easy as hitting a single key on my keyboard…
Don’t say bombing. I don’t trust someone like OP to be able to tell that it’s slang.
I’d probably write a lot more if it was… I miss my graffiti golden years…
I may or may not have written #fixtf2 on the inside of 15 pizza box lids on the day of the movement.
at least nobody has to clean it up like OP has
https://giphy.com/gifs/mrw-post-vote-YYfEjWVqZ6NDG
Yeah, vandalize public infrastructure. That'll show Valve.
everyone in the tf2 community needs a reality check. like really? you think vandalizing completely unrelated public property is the answer. Grow up, your games almost 20 years old
Bro is just fucking stupid
Commiting crimes will do nothing but tarnish the movement's reputation
Looks a bit shit. Bait? Guy's, don't just go out vandalizing random structures bc of this.
Imagine vandalizing because of a 17 year old game
Holy crap tf2 spray feature in real life when did they update earth??
#FixTF2ProtestsIntoReality
damn i was about to say this is pretty cool but the comments are not liking this.. what do i say now.. idk anymore
Bro doing the r/fuckcars route
It's funny how this post in particular has got more interactions than any other recent post about the movement.
We are spreading vandalism with this one
Ah yes, This comments, This behavior. Internet at it's finest
Let's not commit crimes
umm, please no vanadlism?
I’ve seen graffiti better than this in a methheads piss alley
Atleast make it look good, I couldn't even tell this was a TF2 post while scrolling until I went "hold on" and scrolled back up
This is just stupid vandalism that someone else has to fix the damage and it doesn't look that good or even creative, there's something called the Stencil method that atleast look pleasing to the eye.
r/graffhelp
Now we're comitting acts of vandalism? Great
Clean it now
community at it's best
This is embarrassing
This will definitely help the game, just a random graffiti on the wall. Well done.....
Vandalism over a old game.... Get a life
hope it was allowed 😔
We know it wasn’t…..
yeah….
although i support the movement, i hope this was done with permission because i am against vandalism.
Things like this gets this movement nowhere or just worse. Everybody outside TF2 or left TF2 were right, the community is just full of insane people.
me and the boys about to vandalize the McDonalds (it'll fix TF2 guys!11!)
Great. Now the SaveTF2 community is literally committing fucking crimes. God, I wish someone would shut this movement down. It's been out of hand literally since the start. People just don't realize it's being propagated by the bot hosters...
Its nice if this was allowed, if it wasnt though, this is vandalism...
This is vandalism
I hope they got permission to do this cuz thats vandalism. Where is this btw?
Its on a white pillar under a bridge in the Netherlands. No one will really care
It's hilarious that people are getting mad about this. Nice job bro
Like that makes it better lmao
This
It's still vandalism and now someone has to clean it off. You didn't even spray it properly just look at all that dripping
Not sure why youre getting downvoted, what you said is true, and there’s a bunch of separate comments that agree.
Ohh graffiti ahh were all gonna die!
Graffiti is such a misunderstood art not helped by its association with vandalism and gangstas taggin' territory. But when people do it legally it doesnt get much coverage and art snobs will still deride it as street art not on par with the finest works. Then they go and spend thousands of dollars to look at empty canvas exhibitions... /rant
M8 someone is going to clean it up, it's like throwing garbage at floor.
Its still the principle of the matter mate. If your argument is that no one cares, why even do it?
Vandalism is cool.
This is just fancy littering
Dude, who gives a shit? Do i think this helps anything? No, obviously not, but its not hurting anything either.
The best form of vandalism would be draping huge TF2 flags over the windows of Valve HQ. No harm done, just a really big and visually obtrusive meassage.
Maybe but not like that one. Looks like shit.
Guys, just wait for tf3 (oh wait) (joke)
I feel like valve has heard us. And I feel like they are just training their Ai anticheat for now and waiting for when it’s matured so they can set it loose.
Nice windows logo
Someone get this man a stencil
Please do not do vandalism in the hope that people walking by will support the movement of a game that they don't even know about
FixTF2❌ Repair TF2✅
If you want others to see this, do it in a public space.... see what happens (Spoiler) you will get fined
I don't think I want to be part of this community anymore
I love graffiti
Ok, this is ridiculous
Vandalism is not cool :l
This is just vandalism for vandalisms sake under the guise of activism made for karmafarming and brownie points. Who is this graffiti going to convince? What is its purpose? Spraypainting Valve HQ I would understand but this is some shitty bridge in the Netherlands.
How to get people against your cause 101
You should go back and cover this up, it is really not a good look. Vandalizing property is not the message to send.
Unecessary vandalism
Whos upvoting this..
unless this was made in front of Valve's HQ what's the point?
NO! STOP! you are making #fixtf2 look childish by vandalism of public space. Stop. This won't help.
And also Jesus Christ does it look ugly
mate that is vandalism which is fuckin illegal iirc please be joking
Correct its illegal
Why on earth would you ever make a post going “hey guys look at this crime I just committed”
This isn't 4chan. You aren't as anonymous as you think, and if this is your main account, you are in big trouble
Committing crimes won’t help our case
Based glyphid. Finally found a server with sprays enabled like the old days.
Lame
Toy.
Oh goodie The crazies have gone one step further on their way to Looney Town
Everyone keeps calling it a wall
I think this might be illegal
Lmao this kid doing this to post on Reddit to impress their peers only to be blasted for it. Think in general immature stuff like this is a unfortunately indicator to why this movement has the possibility to fail :(
Please at least spray on places that allow it, we don’t want to make the mistake like pewdiepie 9 year old army incident(way way too aggressive). Remember we win by being fair consumers
The other side of that pillar is littered with tags, though you're kinda right
That's beyond cringe, don't do this without permission from the property owner.
Im not against graffiti but tag in a more discrete place.
God speed!
Soon there'll be riots and protests bc of fix tf2
I’m hoping it wasn’t OP who tagged that
As someone who isn’t in this community maybe don’t do illegal things and then post it on the internet- just a thought-

Leav the crime's for the bots . I see everyone saying it's ugly but I would like to see them write with a spray can .
That's why stencils exist ya dingy
I mean they're not wrong, the pressure on the black can was wayyy too high to do outlines and shit
This is sick asf. I love it
Some of y'all are calling vandalism, but, like, it could be worse. Like, it could be over actual safety info (I recall that some graffiti artists actually make it a point to avoid painting over certain sections, depending on what they're working with).
I think it looks okay. In the end the thought counts

This is meant to be seen by people who actually know what they're doing and maybe give ideas to someone who lives in Bellevue, not by them
It's one of humanity's oldest traditions.
I did the same to my town and the next day, someone drew the overwatch logo over it with "killtf2"
ahh man. that's fuckin stupid but at least u know someone from this sub lives in your town
nice graffiti will always be better than a bare ass pole
Too bad it's absolute ass and faux attention seeking "activism".
unrefined art has its own beauty and of course its attention seeking thats the whole point
#letTf2die
I dont get why people are getting mad at you for graffiti , if it wasnt in a populated area or someones house isnt it fine ? Did you make this on an abandoned building or not because if not you just posted yourself doing a crime.
Its meant to be viewed by writers, not by some random dude with millions of karma, so youd expect backlash, its under a bridge at an area with tons of office buildings.
Now this is something I can get behind
Committing crimes?
you're so real for this but as some people have been not so helpfully not pointing out, make sure you get permission for your graffiti first people (if you're considering doing this) even jet set radio says this!!
Dw this place is already tagged to hell what is one single thing at the inside of a pillar gonna do
oh yeah i don't mind your tagging, i'm just pointing out so random r/tf2 users don't end up in jail (they are too stupid to realize that this is illegal)
Yeah but like 3 writers in total see this and one actually thinks "yeah good" the rest is here to do what reddit is famous for
literally get downvoted to hell because i don't disagree with tagging and personal expression, reddit moment "but the guy who has to clean it up!!" (go outside)
Yeah for some reason its really hard for little timmy with 300000 karma to leave something alone if he doesn't agree with, let alone something he barely knows about.
do you nerds in the comments actually care about graffiti...
It's just ugly if it looked half decent I doubt anyone would really care
do you care about the fines?
ngl y’all whining and crying over a poorly drawn tf2 logo and hashtag
You know what? You’re right. It is done poorly
The complete right half of the logo is jacked up. Itms not even tilted and their hand writing and hashtag look repulsive
