Welcome to The Shitpost Office
Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Sinister
Treat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe
Rule 2: No Prohibited Postage
Some packages are simply undeliverable. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I'd never thought of Barney as gay... but also... its not like he couldn't be.
Unlike with Gordon and Alyx... and a few other minor NPCs, who actually talk about or are talked about as if they would or could or should be a couple and/or resume baby making after the destruction of the supression field...
I don't think Barney ever actually has anything even mildly hinting at or suggesting his own sexuality, anywhere, in HL2 Ep1 or Ep2.
I think he at one point or another hints that Gordon and Alyx would make a good couple, but nobody like, does that in reference to him.
Of course... half the characters in the game could just also be bi or pan or who the hell knows.
Goddamnit... Laszlo would know the answer... rest his soul.
... Lets just hope Kleiner and Lamarr are just the nornal kind of owner-pet relationship...
