That, plus they provide a service. They're not your friends, and you're not owed their loyalty outside of like, professionalism.

Okay but the security team getting ready to turn on them the very second their wealth no longer has any value to them is so funny though.

"Did those parasitic YouTubers poison the well of our beloved Spider-Man set before you got a chance to form your own opinion?? Let us know who we can blame - over any internal factors - during our next shareholder meeting!"

i don't feel like magic set surveys usually have this question and i don't appreciate the implication that content creators, who do so so much for the game, are possibly to blame for a bad set's poor performance. 👎

"to what degree did negative influence commentary impact your perceptions of the spiderman set"

i bring more women kissing to your TL

an illustration by Spindle of the characters Asimov (on the right), a half-elf with white hair tied up in a bun, and wearing a blue dress (with yellow accents and a red stripe on the bottom), sitting and kissing Ottilie (on the left), a human with short brown hair tied up in a small bun, wearing a green cardigan (with orange circles print, and white trim), white underwear, and black thighhighs (appearing green due to the tones of the art). She's in front of Asi and leaning on her, kissing back. The kiss is tongue-style

Excellent, thank you. Truly doing god's work.

Now to wait an hour and a chunk for daily reset so I can do the Reliquary again, get that achievement, and be done with Siren's Landing.

Sorin: *makes a promise*
Sorin: *breaks promise*
Nahiri: "What the fuck, bro"
Sorin: *locks her up for a thousand years about it*
Nahiri: *is upset*
Sorin: "See, the real victim here is men."

There's definitely nuance to 'X did nothing wrong', because yes definitely, Nahiri was absolutely dicked over, first by Sorin, and then by the writers portraying her the way they did.

But also half the Warcraft fanbase insists that Garrosh 'Literally Orc Hitler' Hellscream "did nothing wrong".

Sadly, we don't live in a world where 'designer vagina' *could* have that connotation. We live in one that likes to make trans women feel like they're monsters for trying to exist.

I think it's funny that this cover for Tempest Rising makes the lady in the back look like she's the main villain or something.

This is Lt. Jelena Melnik. She's your ops officer if you play the Dynasty campaign. Gives your intel. Believes in the cause, but mostly there to do her job. Nice lady.

I *hate* the term 'designer vagina'. Makes it sound like a luxury purchase, rather than a barrier many trans people have to overcome before they can start living a happy life.

I didn't spend two weeks before my surgery in a state of constant anxiety, and three months after in agony for a luxury.

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men.
Studio executives, so many people.
After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her.
What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill
