I don't agree with the person you're responding to, but saying that '' political correctness '' is a dogwhistle is pretty ridiculous.
Whether you like it or not, the overwhelming majority of people according to all of the polling I've seen done on this think it's real and an actual problem regardless of political leaning.
If you spend a lot of time online particularly in certain communities and on some platforms like Twitter you may be under a very different impression.
That's not to say that there aren't people who abuse the term and throw it at basically anything even slightly progressive, because there are.
But I don't see what good it does to deny the existence of it altogether or label it a dogwhistle, because most people see that and think that you're just in denial about reality.
Performative wokeness ( particularly when it comes to corporations ) is just a thing that exists and is very trendy and loud in most online spaces but that doesn't actually mean that it reflects reality and what most people think.
I remember seeing some stats on Twitter too and it was like an extremely tiny and VERY specific group of people of an already small group that make up for like 80% of the tweets.
And yet social media like Twitter is like a go to in marketing and what a lot of brands look at and it kinda shows.
It's pretty bad optics to call it a dogwhistle and act like it's not real, and if anything it just plays into the hands of bad people because most people do see it and think it's a problem and when they see you do that they think it's crazy.
Back on thread topic, since - you know - the thread actually had a topic alongside its positive message:
Honestly, Trust additions were great simply because so much thought went into specific reactions and ways of handling some stuff in dungeons - such as Dohn Mheg. It was very enjoyable and hilarious to see the various methods the Scions use to deal with going over that gap with the tiny, winding platform bridge. Ryne and Alphinaud take things slowly and carefully, as fits their personalities - meanwhile Alisaie just rushes across it without a second thought, showing off her stubbornness and confidence. Meanwhile Thancred just yeets himself over and bypasses the mechanic entirely, just because he can - and each different way of going about it is both endearing as well as hilarious.
It's one of the other main reasons I run with Trusts first for new dungeon releases.
