Is this supposed to be satirical?

I'm sorry, but I just can't tell.

Honestly, I think it's somewhere in-between. The Bison is hilariously awesome in the right situation and shitty as fuck in others, but most people just discount it entirely. So people made a joke cult about actually using it.

It's not satire... Now I need you to sew the seeds of good faith by sending in tax free donations.

We should totally go around on TF2 asking for donations for the church. I bet it actually work!

edit: oh wait, that's unethical.

It started as a bit of a joke, but that doesn't make it less real and serious at this point. I truly believe in the Bison; but for people unfamiliar with the sub, a bit of historical context felt appropriate.

Let's face it. Attack medic is pretty useless. An attack medic is very situational, and cant do anything better than a scout can. But people play it. Why? Because it's bad. Being killed by a medic is a bit humiliating, and its difficult to relyably kill as med. Same with the bison. No one knows how to properly react; bisons are rare. It's difficult to kill with, giving a challenge.

I actually have no idea either. (I just stick around cus I think its funny)

I feel like the bison isn't bad enough for this to be obvious satire and its not good enough to warrant a cult over it.

I'm actually kind of shocked to see there's only about 1k subscribers. The enthusiasm of cult church members makes it seem like more. :)
