Hey guys!
So this is gonna be a journal about Team Fortress 2's character Miss Pauling (a character usually featured in comics and in the video "Expiration Date" on Youtube/the TF2 website).
From what I've heard, one of the writers has confirmed that Miss Pauling is homosexual.
Okay. That's not a problem, really.
However, I feel like it doesn't quite fit her character. To be honest, I found her to be....asexual. For those of you who don't really know what asexual means, here's the definition:

Asexual- (adj.) without sexual feelings or associations.
(noun) A person with no sexual feelings or desires.

Now, if you read the comics, you'd probably see what I mean. If not, I'll explain. Miss Pauling is a character who is very devoted to her work. The way she talks, her attitude....she doesn't really associate with anyone on a personal level, nor does she have any real interest to do so (other than her boss). She doesn't really talk about anything other than business-related matters. Basically what I'm saying is, she isn't the romantic type. Especially since her field of work involves assassinating people ^^; Not to say she doesn't have feelings....just not romantic ones.
This is just what I see, though. What do you guys think?

Well, as always, take care guys!

While I like the idea of her being homosexual, I've gotta say that her being asexual would make a lot more sense.

I suppose it doesn't really help that Miss Pauling's kind of been bounced around in the TF2 universe. There seems to be a big contrast between her behavior and actions in the comics and Expiration Date. 

(Heck, I don't ship them, but I assumed Valve was headed in the Scout x Pauling direction with Expiration Date. So I guess I can understand why some people would be upset there.)
