I just wanna say.

I don't know who did the dialogue for the comics but they're pretty good at Intuitively Aussie Things (outside of spelling "cark it" wrong).

The amount of times I've hauled arse while chanting "bugger" under my breath is too goddamn many. I once cleared a click on foot with a 20kg bluey on my back and a rifle in my arms because a VERY angry pig was chasing me (when I got back to Matilda he tried his damnedest to pop one of my tyres but that's beside the point). Screaming "BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER-" while being chased by the wildlife is just part of the bushman experience. I don't care if it's outrunning magpies, outrunning pigs, outrunning a bushfire, outrunning a tornado, outrunning hail big enough to knock you out, outrunning a perentie, staring down dingos, waking up to a venomous snake in your swag, seeing a shark while swimming at a beach, blowing a tyre on a rough bit of track, or wading in waist-deep water and seeing the bubbles of a crocodile submerging a few metres away. If you live in the bush you will chant "bugger" like a prayer at some point in your life.

On that note, if you're ever somewhere and you see an Aussie running away from something while screaming "BUGGER" it's a good idea to trust his gut and follow him because 9/10 times whatever's chasing him will end up chasing you instead. If he's running he's got reason.

What are the things you Like and Dislike about Sniper? (Valve's Sniper and the fans' interpretation of Sniper)

I've got no issue with canon Sniper and love canon Sniper. I'm so sorry anon, you've woken the dog. Ignore me as I proceed to bark angrily for the next half-hour, because I have many issues with fanon Sniper.

But first I'll start with what I like about fanon Sniper. I love how everyone has their own little twist to him, even if most I don't agree with. I love how I can see how authors and artists have interacted with people and the scope of experiences they've heard about off how they write Sniper. I like that I can make judgements on people off how they treat his character (not in a "they make bad things happen to him" kinda way, but in a "how does this person handle Sniper's being adopted" kinda way). I like that I can use Sniper as a looking glass into the author/artist. I'm sure this applies to other characters too, but looking through Sniper just comes easier to me because I suppose I can put myself in his shoes? Iunno.

Now that that's over with, please allow your actual resident bushman and professional sniper to get on his soapbox, thank you.

List of shit I hate about fanon Sniper:

Fandom constantly referring to him as a Kiwi, completely ignoring his entire character arc in the comics where he realises that he is in fact Australian and that the two people who raised him all his life are in fact his "real" parents. The fandom needs to re-assess how they view adoptees/migrants and their relationship to their adopted culture, especially when they show no interest in assimilating into their birth culture and have no knowledge/experience of it. This is such an issue to me that I, someone who emigrated to Australia when I was two years old and grew up Australian despite being born in another country, will just outright block people who call Sniper a Kiwi cuz I already know how you're going to see and view me before we even get to talking.

I don't like how half the fandom twinkifies him. There I said it. On the other hand, I don't like the other half of the fandom often makes him very muscular. Do you not know what lean muscle looks like?

I don't like how the fandom calls him "stinky" or says he's unhygienic. None of the fandom understands how well animals can smell and how much of a successful hunt depends on animals not being able to smell you. You know what makes animals flee fastest? The smell of smoke and the smell of human body odour. If you're upwind of your target they are going to smell you and flee. Sniper, professional hunter for yonks, would not fucken stink considering it'd make him a completely useless hunter. He'd shower daily, wear scent cover (NOT deodorant--Sniper would not smell good, he just would not have a scent at all). Also none of the fandom understands how important hygiene is in the bush. Sniper is not walking around covered in dirt and such. He would be very clean and practise good hygiene because if you don't stay clean you end up smelly (ruining his chances of a successful hunt) and/or end up sick--especially with skin problems.

I don't like how the fandom has generally accepted out-of-characters traits as canon. For example, Sniper being "shy". Reclusive DOES NOT EQUAL SHY. He's a fucken assassin, does the fandom not understand how that works? Shy people do not get hired. No one is going to hire a hitman who's quaking in his boots because a client looked at him a little too long or applied a little too much social pressure. Sniper would be more than capable of blending into his surroundings when needed, such as a crowd, if it means making his hit or getting where he needs to go to make said hit. Sniper would be capable of lying to cover his arse on the spot and making it believable. Sniper would be able to manage being flirted with in public and play it off cooly--though privately is a different matter, so go wild with that all you like. There is a major difference between someone not caring for the company of other people and someone who gets shy or nervous around them. Professionals have standards, and Sniper would keep his shit together for the sake of getting his mark.

He wouldn't smoke cannabis. Whether it's because he just doesn't care for the high, whether it's because it doesn't do much for him, whether it's because THC in particular makes him anxious (you know that man is paranoid, all hitmen are)--the bottom line is that the smoke of cannabis clings to your clothes like nothing else, it takes forever to get the smell out, and yeah sure you can mask it with other smells but the issue is that Sniper, as a hunter, cannot be smelt by anything he's hunting. And you know what scent cover DOESN'T conceal? Cannabis. (Sauce: I have tried.) I could defo see him doing edibles though. But why do you think he's doing shrooms, ay? Because shrooms don't leave a smell.

None of the fandom knows how sniping actually works. Just. At all. I've seen horrendous fucking takes. He is not "feeling it." He is not cracking off a shot at 1200yd a second after taking aim. That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works. DO ANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT ELEVATION OR WINDAGE IS?

Sniper would not be bothered by the cold. A camper has SO LITTLE INSULATION (I live in one!!) and the outback gets BELOW FREEZING AT NIGHT IN WINTER. Sniper would be well-adjusted to handling extreme temperatures at BOTH ENDS of the temperature range. He might be a little more susceptible to cold because he's experienced less of it, but he would not be shivering at fucking 15c/60f. It's also fucken cold during the day in winter because it's the outback and there's no trees to trap the heat in. Temperatures fluctuate wildly, and bushmen need to be highly adaptable or you die.

Not Sniper-specific but the fandom also doesn't understand jack shit about weapons. You clean them after you use them. That's not a clip, it's a MAGAZINE--yes there is a difference. YOU ARE NOT PUTTING A DIRTY SWORD INTO ITS SCABBARD. That's not how revolvers work. No, that either. That's a double-action, you don't have to cock the hammer to fire it. That's a single-action, you do need to cock the hammer to fire it. Bolt-action rifles don't have hammers. You don't rack a bolt, you cycle it, you rack a slide on a semiautomatic pistol or a pump-action shotgun. I'm hitting you with my old man bitching cane.

Continuing from the above point: people who draw Sniper with his finger on the trigger of his rifle/any firearm when he should not have finger on the trigger of a firearm. YOU ONLY PUT YOUR FINGER ON THE TRIGGER WHEN YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT. TRIGGER DISCIPLINE, PEOPLE. IT SAVES LIVES.

Most of the fandom has no idea what the fuck they're talking about or doing with this bloke (or his job, or lifestyle, or where he comes from) and it shows. There, I said it.

THE KIWI THING IS SO TRUE because he was raised Australian from infancy, he identifies as Australian, he speaks with an Australian accent, he has zero emotional connection to either New Zealand, his birth parents are horrible parents who were about to let him die, he doesn't care about the culture, and a whole bunch of other stuff. But being born in New Zealand and being a baby there for like. A year. is somehow enough to just complete override any of that?

Literally. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND people who constantly insist Sniper is a Kiwi especially when his entire character arc is him realising that his "real parents" are not the birth parents who never cared about him, but the loving parents who adopted and raised the boy who crashed on their property. They didn't have to keep him, but they did. He's not a Kiwi. He's an Aussie. Australia is all he's ever known.

Speaking of wildly inconsistent sniper i think he can charm his way into offering his services but he would literally rather kill himself than have to make eye contact with somebody for a second longer than he has to. Something aomething the only thing worse than being an assassin for hire is not being an assassin for hire.

I'm going antithesis on this since we grew up in the same environment where it's "polite to make eye contact, Micky" and this woulda been beat into him socially from a young age cuz for some reason this is really important to the old folks.

He overcorrects on eye contact by default now. It's part of why he wears the sunnies--besides it helping on a quickdraw when needed, it also helps blur where his eyes are focussing once you're a metre away. Means people won't pay attention to or notice the overcorrection, and he doesn't cop shit for "staring too much".
