Discussion : Class Perception Analysis - Cuteness
“Cuteness is a kind of attractiveness commonly associated with youth and appearance, as well as a scientific concept and analytical model in ethology, first introduced by Konrad Lorenz. It is usually characterized by (though not limited to) some combination of infant-like physical traits, especially small body size with a disproportionately large head, large eyes, a small nose, dimples, and round and softer body features. Infantile personality traits, such as playfulness, fragility, helplessness, curiosity, innocence, affectionate behavior and a need to be nurtured are also generally considered cute.” - Wikipedia
Based on the above definition and common sense, which of the following characters CAN NOT be considered cute? Why? Discuss your answer with your classmates.
A - HEAVY
B - PYRO
C - JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

The Pyro looks more like a Helghast from Killzone than a dog. Cuteness level = 0.

The answer is D. ALL OF THE ABOVE.

I hope for more of these comparisions.
As for me, even if Pyro didn’t look like a puppy I’d still love it <3
Also, I think even the Scout is shocked at the comparision.
hain responded on 27 Aug 2008 at 2:40 am #
@Direction : I would love to accept the challenge, but I don’t know if I can come up with more comparisons. I have other things in mind that goes more along the exam question style.
@LaZodiac : You secretly love the Pyro because you secretly love little puppies.

Sorry, but what in the name of fried onions is the pyro doing to that heavy? Is he force feeding him sausages, hence the greeny-yellowy substance with the blood? That’s pushing it, but the pyro is still adorable. Disneyworthy. In fact, why hasn’t the pyro gotten his own cartoon-3d animation hybrid story of life in the jungle on Jupiter? This is a travesty!
The scout pic is actually quite funny, his facial expression makes it seem like he just realised he’s talking into a grenade.
I honestly think that Valve tried to make the heavy look like a baby. I’ve seen more or less that heavy pic a fair few times just as a killcam. He’s the only class with eyelashes. Eyelashes don’t really serve any purpose, aesthetic or otherwise, but to make something cuter/attractive. Are you attracted to the heavy?
To those who are attracted to the heavy, I apologise for my rudeness. It’s good to know all that TF2 porn doesn’t go to waste.

Eye lashes actually protect your eye from dirt I believe. The dirt gets collected in them and then gather around your eyes when you sleep, I think.
You know when you first wake up in the morning and you got this like crunchy weird stuff around your eyes? some call it sleep I think. anyways, that the result of all the dust and stuff your eye lashes collected.
eye lashes, not just for looks.
p.s. I could be horribly horribly wrong.
Mooman responded on 27 Aug 2008 at 5:05 am #
I didn’t know there as such an abundant danger of sand, sleep and dirt going into your eyes in TF2.
Cheers for the correction, I meant to say ” In games, eyelashes don’t really serve any purpose, aesthetic or otherwise, blah blah blah etc and so on and so forth and the rest after that.”

Oh my god! Mooman! A TF2 movie!!
Starring:
Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Heavy
Danny Devito as the Pyro
Justin Timberlake as the Scout
Morgan Freeman as the Demoman
Sean Connery as the Spy
Further ideas welcome for the Soldier, Engineer, Medic and Sniper.
Alternatively, make it animated by Pixar. Cue the torrent of TF2 themed merchandise-Pyro Candles, Scout running shoes, Heavy sandviches, Engineer tool-kits, Medic plasters/band-aids etc.!!!!!

@Mr.Brit
Morgan Freeman as the Demo… ARE YOU NUTS?!?
No offence to Mr. Freeman, but with all the TF2/Pulp Fiction parodies out there the clear choice is Samual L. Motherfuckin’ Jackson.
Mooman responded on 27 Aug 2008 at 6:55 am #
I’d pay good money to see Shaun Connery as The Spy.

I’ve thought the scout kinda reminded me of Jay Mohr. Not just in personality, or speech, but also facewise.
The thought of Heavy resembling a baby kinda disturbs me.
Am I the only one here who thinks that the Pyro looks like Peace from the movie Wizards?
Well… I’ve always thought the Spy should be played by either Jean Reno(for the accent), or Hugh Laureghy(face). I mean, who wouldn’t not think that a great french stuntman couldn’t backstab?

I always thought the Scout looked like Eminem, sounded like Eminem, sung like Eminem (That is to say, not at all) but that’s just me.
Interesting perspective on the Pyro. Gives an all new dimension to the extremely bad pun: ‘Hot dog’.
Pulviriza responded on 27 Aug 2008 at 5:33 pm #
awwww, look at the little heavy!
hain responded on 27 Aug 2008 at 9:36 pm #
Eminem. Yes, it sounds so right. Actually I was just looking for an annoying, former boy band artist and Timberlake was a well-known choice. The pic with the cap and the dog tags was too good to miss.
BathrobeAssassin responded on 28 Aug 2008 at 6:46 am #
Good god, I never noticed until now how unnerving the Pyro is. Those empty black wells he has for eyes…
Mr Brit responded on 28 Aug 2008 at 7:38 am #
I would LOVE to see Laurie as the Spy! Great idea!

We need to get that Australian guy from the first Jurassic Park movie to play the Sniper… or the dude who played Crocodile Dundee.

Since Hugh Lawrie was able to fool a good number of people into thinking he was American, I’d say he’d do the spy proud. Then again, Connery would be cool too…
Also, the demoman would have to stay scottish. It’s a big part of his history afterall.
BGH responded on 13 Sep 2008 at 10:22 am #
I like the way Mr. Brit has mostly picked actors over the age of 60 for this ostensibly action-based movie.
Anyway, am I the only one who thinks the Engineer is just adorable? That bit in Meet the Engineer where he waits for the rockets to impact, then flashes a little buck-toothed grin? I just want to pinch his stubbly little cheeks.
…maybe I’ve said too much…
