I don't know why people are using the song to try and confirm it's a woman. At the beginning heavy says "I fear no man, but that thing, it scares me." and scout says "He's not here is he?" So, basically it could be a man, woman, or not human. We still don't know.

Scout says "He's not here, is she?", go to youtube, enable the transcript or captions.

Female Confirmed!

But the scout says "He's not here, is he?". I'd trust that over a song lyric.

And now we just have to sit back and wait for the inevitable remake of 2fort as Candyland maps to show up.

I think that was pretty good, a nice twist on the character without validating people's thought's on the gender.

Perfect. Well done Valve... I am duly astounded.

P.S. People have to stop reading into the song... The Lovin' Spoonful didn't know about Pyro in 1965.

That was different. I was not thinking they were going in that direction. I should have figured they were not going to answer the gender question that we have been trying to find out for a while now.

Listen to the lyrics of the song :D

I would call the Pyro's intentions a bit... misguided.

I think Valve wanted to leave people confused or still wanting to know due to the ambiguous nature of the video (dialogue, drug-like induced state) probably because the mysterious aspects of the pyro is more interesting than the reveal to them. If anybody wants an answer, they can make their own conclusion.

So his mask let's him breathe in from his canister of bath salts.

Gotcha.

Also: I'd so play that version of TF2.

Better than expected.

And people seriously believed that the gender question would be answered?

Before this, I looked forward to the big gender reveal for Pyro. Now, I honestly do not care. Pyro is a nut and that is all that is important.
