[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9555814, member: 22779"] Yeah, combating non-existing outrages by bringing up non-existing outrages that mostly only exist as clickbait for youtubers isn't exactly the slam dunk you think it is. My point, in case it wasn't clear, is that ALL these issues are made up. They're fabricated outrage to feed algorithms and aren't actually real issues. I mean, good grief, a friend of mine just got through telling me how 2024 was a complete failure because of a Youtube video he watched about how 2024 only sold a couple of thousand copies. Remember that? Remember when that cycled through the news cycle? That the largest single RPG publication that has already gone into second printing only sold a couple of thousand copies? I remember that. And he was absolutely adamant that the Youtuber was telling it like it is. 🤷 I've seen so many "Can you believe WotC did this?!?!?" outrage posts that it's very, very hard to take any of them seriously. You brought up two, the Pinkerton thing which was 100% fabricated, and the Blurgate thing, which, honestly, looks a lot more like a bunch of people who apparently didn't understand copyright laws getting their wrists slapped as examples of "what Hasbro has done". For me? It's all a giant 🤷 because, frankly, I can't begin to believe people when they talk about outrage because of the absolute mountain of fabrications and lies driving the narrative that WotC is the Evil Corporation that has been ongoing for over twenty years now.
