There's a new kid at work who's 18 years old.
I haven't cut my hair in longer than this kid's been alive.

Hello, everyone!

Creative question here for something I'm working on.

There is a female character whose title is "Aribter of Odin". It's a long story, but the short version is the Great Divines have each sent an Arbiter to settle a dispute with Yahweh once and for all. One of those Divines is the Norse god Odin. But I'm thinking of temporarily changing her title to "Arbiter of Lucifer" because of a specific story reason. (And just FYI, Lucifer was a mistranslation of the Hebrew metaphor "Morning Star, Son of Dawn" which had nothing to do with the Devil. Its more connected to the Canaanite god Helel and possibly the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar .)

I've gotten some strange push back on it even though this is fantasy. But I thought Arbiter of Lucifer sounded more marketable and commercial than Arbiter of Odin. And again, its actually related to the plot. So, I'm not just arbitrarily (no pun intended) changing it.

But I just figured I'd ask here to get opinions. Still not sure if I'm going to change it or not.

Um...you do you I guess?

Bayonetta 3 will remain based!

"Naive Angel" mode for the babies who can't stand a little bit of feminine skin.

Can't wait to get my hands on the game when it comes out!

Tbh it's just stupid to me the game even gets that.
It's odd to see Bayonetta of all games appeal to prudes like that, especially when other games with sexualized content don't.
Kinda goes against the overall tone and character imo.

I watched the new trailer and Bayonetta herself is great but holy hell wtf is that new character xD...
As soon as she entered the screen the trailer went completely downhill it honestly has me really worried...
In all honesty the only thing that looks good in the trailer is Bayonetta, as soon as it cuts to anything else it just looks bad imo :/.

I think they did it in order to appease Nintendo. You know how they feel about their "family friendly" image.
