Do we really need the Scions again?

[Lauront]

so by that standard you can just pretend everything is fine any time people complain

"people on the forums complain so it's ok its a non argument"
"people in game complain so it's ok its a non argument"
"people on reddit complain so it's ok its a non argument"
"people on twitter complain so it's ok its a non argument"

so basically any sort of complaint is a non argument and should be ignored

what a take lmao

I would like to point out to Ikara and Fenral that Theodric said mixed reactions, not mostly negative. If the Twitter algorithm was trying to only feed him negative reactions to the scions, it's doing a poor job.

It only counts when it's proof of how the Overwhelming/Vast/Great Majority wubs the game and won't accept any negative comment about it (I need not elaborate on what that sounds like...) Funnily enough, given the topic of algorithms 'curating' what content you see, Striker-GPT also brought up YouTube videos and even comments on them by trying to use them as "proof" of this great majority.

On the other hand, we could just be reasonable about it and realise that what it means is the OF is not the only place this issue comes up. It's less a statement about any majorities or 'everyone' or whatever some disingenuous people like to extrapolate it into.

So that's where this was going. He's trying to police what should and shouldn't be said on the official forums. Yikes.

Papers please, you need a licence for that criticism...
