    It's funny because I was just thinking about this today. I have been with the game for seven or so years, and if they insist on keeping Wuk, I think I am done.

    An easy fix to this would be just have her bogged down with ruling and we never see her again. Then let the scions get back into the MSQ, give us Krile, Eren and others a chance in the story again. Make the story about WoL and don't do any cheap emotional tricks.

    Just give us what DT was supposed to be even if it's stretched over many patches.

    I think the four trials that just came out has a better story than anything in MSQ and that made me angry. It also made me angry that they changed rotations of classes almost immediately after taking the time to accept the new ones. Just feels like they need to get their shit together at Square.

    It's something I've noticed with young people on social media. They look for something to fit a narrative they've already made up in their heads and if they find 1 post out of a hundred, or even a thousand, they hyper focus on it and everything else doesn't matter. All that matters is justifying their pre-made opinion.

    Probably just the result of social media in general. I've said it before, in a real conversation, when standing face to face with a person, you don't have time to overthink and come up with a ridiculous offensive theory about every tiny thing the person says. You just communicate, snappy and fast, and even when somebody says something "questionable" it's easier to give them the benefit of the doubt. Maybe they didn't quite mean it that way. Words sometimes come out of our mouths faster than our brains manage to filter. Etc. Also most healthy people do not immediately get aggressive in such situations.

    Digitally though. One misreads the tone of messages. One can sit there for hours, just stewing, making things up, assuming terrible stuff about the person on the other end. And without seeing that person it's easier to dislike them or downright hate them. Every tiny statement becomes a land mine.

    Most of us would be completely fine if we talked it out irl. We'd find common ground and get over disagreements. Here we'll continue assuming that we're all monsters and our life goals are to be mustache twirling villains who hurt people on twitter.

    *hides his mustache wax behind his back*

    I think it's also IRL, people don't have the luxury of getting aggressive over what are fundementally fake internet points. Physicality is real, and standing in someone's face and yelling about what an awful person they are comes with the risk of physical violence.

    Basically, IRL we have to decide how much that position is worth, with there being a scale of 'negligible' to 'La Revelucion'.

    Here, though? There's fake points to gain and nothing to lose.

    Moving back on topic, I've said it before and I'll say it again. I can't help but feel bad for Bryer, because this is a helluva stain on a resume. Other languages, Poochie's VA was at least adequate. It's easier to separate the character's writing from the performance. Here though, everything was categorically awful. It was bad writing delivered poorly. They were not ready for this role, at all.

    Nope. I don't feel bad for a terrible person signing up for a role they knew they sucked at, and surprise, surprise, sucking at it.

    Don't take people seriously on the internet. In person as one user put it, they become docile in person. Or sometimes, they may raise their voice to try to talk you down in a scare tactic of shaming you. But it does not work when they have to put their reputation and persona on the line to everyone around them. Not to mention, have the courage to say anything bad to the person standing in front of them in fear of conflict. Most of the time, they mutter what they want to say like a little kitten. It is rather amusing to see.

    Given the current situation with Sena, you *really* shouldn't be making a thread/hashtag like this. People are moronic enough already to send her death threats over a performance. How is this going to make anything better?

    No, the character doesn't need to be killed off. That's clearly a kneejerk reaction and overkill.

    This is a hugely weird thing to say. What you're implying here is something only a weirdo would say out loud to others.

    Quite sure most people understand that wanting a fictional character gone for good has nothing to do with any real life person.

    I mean... you know this, correct?

    That's really the only thing you know how to call people, it's kind of remarkable.
