TF2 Emporium - 15-year-old cabal of terminally online game content creators contributing to the rot of a near 20-year-old game they could care less for.

I know I'm late, but this guy could probably have his own thread. His Twitter is literally pages of black tranny porn that he either receives commissions of, or 3D models himself.

WARNING: Very NSFW
He’s definitely sick and sexually repressed. He claims that he is the “daddy” of the black character he showcases and frequently call it his “little girl”, “daddy’s baby girl” or “daughter” while showcasing that style of imagery in the same context. He’s also from Oregon, a state known as a “sex offender haven” so I wouldn’t be surprised one bit if he turns out to be one of them.

Offshore Drama Summary (54:50-1:16:36)​

  1. The Offshore Project site had three links to the Discords of TF2Maps, Particle Mayhem, and Painter's Workshop; all of which wasn't widely known beforehand and thus caused drama amongst them for the sudden influx of new users (which has since been changed to a new single Offshore Project Discord).
  2. offshorelinks1.pngoffshorelinks2.png
  3. The TF2 Emporium Discord was left out due to all of the new eyes on them from the discussion that has spout up within the last year of their misdeeds (can't have any chudlings popping in).
  4. The big three (TF2Maps, TF2Emp, and PMayhem) are at war with Painter's Workshop (newer TF2 Workshop group based on War Paints started in collaboration with Zesty / Mönkey in 2023 that's wholly separated from the TF2Emp circlejerk). They've tried to shit up their Discord before and pissed themselves over the inclusion of Painter's Workshop on the Offshore Project site.
  5. Zesty shows off a bunch of Discord screenshots of their recent seething at Painter's Workshop:
  6. Zesty reveals apart from the TF2 Emporium Discord that he's been banned from the Particle Mayhem and Tropic Crisis Discord servers as well. He also joined the Offshore Project Discord live and people within it immediately starting seething about him (banned in 109 TF2 Workshop Discords).
  7. The TF2 Emporium has been on a soft lockdown since they started widely getting attention last year with a loss of members, activity whining down, heavier moderation, and scrubbing. They are effectively scared of us (suffa fags).
  8. The project started late and as a result there's not enough time for mappers to make new maps, causing TF2Maps to sperg out (lol, lmao even).

What a shitshow; can't trust the nu-TF2 community to do fuck all without a gay online fist fight ensuing. Utterly pathetic.

Good to see Team Fortress 2's players love it so much they have divided into two different rival camps that fight over over the same piece of digital "land" (video game) while technically both serving to benefit a company above them.

Hopefully I live long enough to see the TF2 Emporium in ruins. Fucking faggots.
 
Vipes has released a video where he documents everything that happened to him during his time in the workshop, specifically about how Drew and Metabolic treated him.

I'm honestly glad to see the truth has come out regarding the Emporium and now everyone is aware of the atrocities that came from that group. People that simply don't care about the TF2 Emporium and all of this 'workshop drama' simply just aren't aware of how much the Emporium's influence has spread in the TF2 community. (E.g Drew was allegedly responsible for the TF2 Giga Leak, Invasion Update ruined any chance of a future community update).

It looks like the Team Fortress 2 community is slowly but surely becoming more aware of what goes on behind the scenes and what proves this is the new 'community update' project Offshore not wanting to associate themselves with the Emporium because of drama and people in the community in general just not wanting to associate with them.

The bad press they got from BigBoi's YT videos caused them to go into paranoia mode and everyone in there is now cautious about what they send knowing that it can get screenshotted along with moderation becoming more tight.

We should be glad that Zombie Infection was such a travesty that they haven't considered adding any new gamemodes within the rotation, just off-shoots of regular game modes with quirks to them.

Sidenotes: has nobody ever digged through Chickenman? He's a known Zesty a-log who instigated a "pedo witch hunt" with other workshoppers (IIRC this included the likes of Brie) over ZJ shitposting about lawlies.

Here he is in all of his Ashkenazi glory:

Or wurlmoon, who has made a blood pact and gets 1% cut on every single Engineer cosmetic uploaded, even when he had little to no involvement on said items.

https://steamcommunity.com/id/tedbenekee/ Could also be his account (has a community made cosmetic on it). I found it by typing the above Steam account's ID into backpack.tf.

Chickenman456 is well known in some circles of TF2. He's a bit of a faggot.

This went over my head since the attached screenshot is the usual jargon within the Empoorium.

"Bit" is an understatement.

Back in the nigh of Scream Fortress 2022 he contributed to a cotton candy themed war paint which he commented "trans rights" under. This obviously cascaded into a flame war. His workshop catalogue is highly unremarkable as we know.

Obviously, the damage control from the cabal was to "get back at the chuds" by churning out troon flag color scheme items like unusuals and war paints, which resident tranny VitreousGlassy provided. (Surprise, surprise, 0 to none good items submitted. It is also good to note that Glitch was this troon's number one sweatshop slave, until Glitch ragequit over mutual ideas last summer, he went so far as filing a DMCA to no avail, good riddance faggot.)

Project Offshore's items have been dumped onto the Workshop with cosmetic quality you'd expect by now. This item in particular leaves a poor taste in my mouth.
images.steamusercontent.webp

The idea of Demoman's bomb vest being converted into a coat is plain up asinine in my eyes. By default it's very bulky and removing a ton of expected team color is already flawed. Guess spamming armbands is the way to go nowadays.
back.webp

This is much worse on BLU.
backblu.webp

Viewing this cosmetic from the front works, it becomes problematic from most angles however, since what really matters is the upper half of the body, but the Demo already has an overabundance of team color on his legs. Obfuscating it and covering it up with a coat that has a subtle tinting of team colors on an already neutral color on it is not good. Accenting on the pockets to mitigate said issues are a menial solution.
cosmetics.webp

Now if we combine this with the Breakneck Baggies (which removes team color) all we are left on the back is this. Bonus points if you add obnoxious paints to the mix.

To give credit to this cosmetic, it's not AS bad as the Tuxedo Royale, but working against established ideas should be heavily avoided, we already have garbage like the Big Star which uses Value of Teamwork instead of the Engi's default colors. Are trannies this retarded to not eyedrop tool the textures from the game and use them on their cosmetics?
I could go on and on about cosmetics that do the reverse of adding MORE team color, but it's far more gaudy than harmful. Also it would be really tiring having to hear from me every second whenever the Poorium gossips or uploads anyway. I was going to ask about a delegated Workshop thread where farmers discuss submissions, intending to post all of this on the general TF2 discussions, but I figured this is the most appropriate place to post.
 
a better example of the circus that is this entire project is this set instead
this screen shows everything that needs to be said
Man, my eyes really do roll over these meme items, it's as if their inexistent qualities have worsened by tenfold. Circumcised foreskin sausage arms, textureless blobs in the form of a belt and coat trim, exaggerated cheese blocks over misuse of polygons, et cetera.

Some ideas deserve to remain on the drawing board, this is the inbred cousin of the Classified Coif.
 
Valve will add the same shit but worse over and over again but refuse to add something fresh like The Authority Gloves that would make for a perfect military loadout filler.
These type of items make me weep, we have far too many great items available for inclusion already but they have to keep feeding the machine by adding whatever has been thrown up by these faggots.

I adore items like these because they open up for far better customization, it ticks me whenever they turn a misc cosmetic into a kitchen sink deal where you have small components attached to the cosmetic which could suffice as it's own item, allowing for greater customization. But no, we HAVE to show the world that we managed to cram all this low poly detailing onto the model cause we are retarded and have to follow our references with pinpoint accuracy!

Want to induce melancholy and remind yourself how far these people have detached from this game? Check out the Frontline cosmetics collection, arguably the last good community effort.

I will forever remain butthurt at how they assassinated General Gin, this was a perfectly fine set but you just HAD to rape it.
 

Offshore Drama Summary Part II (15:16-51:18')​

  1. Zesty got banned from the Offshore Project Discord a few days ago (banned from 109 TF2 Workshop Discords) after some Emporium members that joined the group reported him (confirmed by the project organizer) utilizing his past drama, alongside some other Emporium critical users showing that they've been slowly taking control of the Discord. The server mods wanted him to do the goydance to get unbanned, only for Zesty to tell them to fuck off and leave only to conveniently getting unbanned anyway afterwards.
  2. Resident Emporium schizo and media literacy professor Overlord Lettuce left the Offshore Project as project co-lead and lead artist, this coming after he beefed with other Emporium tards over everyone sperging at Painter's Workshop having been included in the Offshore Project website resources before it was replaced.
  3. overlordlettucegone1.webpoverlordlettucegone2.webpoverlordlettucegone3.webp

Aside from these revelations, the Offshore Project has concluded and with it there are reports of many project submissions being missing from the Workshop collections. What a lol, lmao even mess.
 
The TF2 Emporium niggers are once again pushing for ANOTHER slop VScript gamemode to be added to the game, this time being a riff of TF2C's VIP:

The ride never ends.
Since I first posted about this, the VIP gamemode has garnered some massive popularity lately in the nu-TF2 community with a bunch of posts, videos, and even memes regarding VIP; something unprecedented with any of the previous VScript slop gamemodes they've attempted or even I think for any TF2 Workshop maps.

VIP (as of 5/20/2025)​

For further reference, VSH has 4 maps with 11,249 ratings all five stars except VSH Nucleus, ZI has 11 maps with 8,094 ratings all five stars except Devastation and Orleans, Prop Hunt has 6 maps with 4,825 ratings all two stars except PH Doublecross, Gun Game / DM has 14 maps with 4,670 ratings all three stars except GG Deadlock and DM Forgecall, Freeze Tag has 6 maps with 2,062 ratings all four stars except Cryo, and last but not least VIP has 4 maps with 18,716 ratings all five stars.

I'm convinced this shit is getting astroturfed hard. Not only does the TF2 Emporium have the game's content creation by the balls, but also the nu-TF2bers and their orbiters as well (HERE LITTLE TOURIST, COME GET YOUR DOSE OF REGURGITATED SURFACE LEVEL NU-TF2 VIDEO SLOP). All it takes is Uncle Dane the nigger main making a video about VIP to 100% confirm this.
