Go to 15:52 in the video for evidence saying he is lead poisoned

These are official comics, however, these are not the actual voice actors. Its like an audio book, if you will

Are you actually claiming that
youtube videos are some kind of evidence. We know that literacy is waning in this generation, but this is really over-the-top. You do not really seem to realize that the "canon" of a TV show or a silly game is of
absolutely no interest for us. The general issue of the harmful (spiritually devastating) nature of these games as determined by the scientific community or the Christian community is what interests us.

The steam page says its not meant for kids. Steam is made by Valve. Valve made TF2. Not biased.

This is flabbergasting! Valve made the steam page and the same bunch of people made the silly game called TF2. Basically, the're assessing their own product. How on
God's Earth is that
not biased?! And don't try us on the criterion of embarrassment - the exegetics tried that and failed.

You should take my word for it because its official. You shouldnt have to look for a peer reviewed source when its confirmed by Valve, the creators.

You are a person with personal interest invested in this game. Your agreeing with the makers of this product may make it official within the "canon" of the game but once again, it remains
anecdotal and now even
more heavily biased. We do know that you've been seduced by these silly games and you lack
any education on
epistemology. Hitherto, that's been understandable but it won't be it any longer now that you've sneaked your way here. This is your chance to get an education. How do you test the
Truth™ value of a proposition?
Next: Let us list the
fallacies you make (we can continue this in the future).
- Appeal to authority: both yours and of the unknown persons who made the game. An authority can be wrong. Their word does not count. Only actual peer-reviewed evidence does, and in this case peers do not mean others who play this silly game.
- Cherry picking: using only sources that agree with you, for instance these videos that I would find both tedious and uninformative.
- Confirmation bias: accepting only information that supports your preconceptions and ignoring all the thousands of posts in this thread.
It is most interesting that you find the makers of this game the most reliable source that outweighs actual research. Do you utilize this strategy in each and every case when you for instance buy stuff?
"We made this car and say it's safe so let's not look at any statistics, This cream will make your face look young, because those who are getting all the money from it say so." A good epistemological toolbox is something that can be employed
everywhere. People who simple accept things that they feel comfortable with are those who are little better than slaves of the advertising systems. Those are the people who can easily be manipulated.
I'll try to make it
visual for easy understanding:
- Videos as evidence
- Those with emotional or financial interest (this "steam")as reliable authorities
- Internal consistency within a "canon" ("official") as evidence
- Personal anecdotes as evidence
- Law (we follow it but do not necessarily think that it is good in all cases) as evidence for spiritual issues
