Pyro a girl?

[Biffy Cakeo]

I went on TF2 just 2 seconds ago and realised up the top it told me to beat the points i had with HER. Is this some joke im not getting?

 

[rabidmidget]

It's a joke valve put in, because people have always speculated the gender of the pyro

 

[clutch-monkey]

i thought the film clips hinted it was a she. and she's possibly the scout's mum... or something.

edit: should note i only watched the film clips. i don't actually play the game (don't like it)

Pyro is a female character. This is not a new development. It has been general knowledge for a long time, and has even been used as a gag in Doomsday Arcade [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/doomsday-arcade/703-Episode-Nine]

 

[Corpse XxX]

Valve sometimes write her, and other times him... It is just to keep people wondering..

 

[SquirrelPants]

It's a stupid joke. There's a 50/50 chance it will say him or her.

This thread's been done before, use the search bar.

Valve tries to fuck with us, no one actuallu knows if he/she is a male or female.
you can see in one of the maps the locker of the pyro, a flamethrower and a pink purse.
there is even a hint in the Meet The Spy trailer at the beginning the Alarm-A-Tron 5000
it says: RED PYRO, IS A MAN, IS A WOMAN.

You can only speculate

Or maybe the Pyro is a hermaphrodite and Valve can't decide on a proper personal pronoun........

It's a running gag poking fun at the gender speculation created by anominity

the correct answer is that the pyro is both at the same time

Just watch this, and you'll see.

If this turns out to be true, it could be a massive step forwards for feminism.

Really.

Pyro is actually four ducks standing atop one another.

Somehow that makes sense to me, but i dont know how i am somehow finding it believeable that the Pyro is a stack of ducks...
Or maybe Penguins...

Just watch this, and you'll see.

That was one of the best youtube-cartoons I've ever seen D:

 

[Ekit]

The pyro is voiced by a man, therefore it is a man.

I think I love you...

I think making the Pyro a girl would be obvious, but that hasn't stopped people before.

 

[DazZ.]

The Pyro's a robot, it changes from him to her depending on the RED or BLU modal.
/speculation.
But yeah, no one knows, it changes a lot in blog posts and now in game.

Meet the Pyro will be interesting.
