What a terrible idea to elect the superhero equivalent of that animal cruelty commercial to a position of power. You know the one - it only comes on when you’re alone and uses every cheap trick to make you identify with it. It’s - what’s the word?

Cloying?

Fake?

Stupid. That’s the one. There’s a reason why Atomight, Mechanima, and Frances Starling won’t comment on this. He’s beneath them.

Why doesn’t anyone ever say it? Go anon and say it here.

The ongoing issues with binary systems. You end up with Corporate Friendly mouthpiece who is going to get us all killed.

Needless to say 'I didn't vote for him'. I doubt most of us did. And by us I mean Starfallen.

[mostdangerousbird]

Meaning he’s the choice of the native superheroes.

Making me wonder why you’re making it a point to draw that distinction, because I don’t think it’s anything good.

[helpdesk_hero]

I'm making the distinction to point out that we didn't ask to come here, but we had our arms twisted to join the guilds. The vibe has been getting more and more intense on that front.

But we also don't get to have a voice. That's messed up. Massively so. Not saying we should be in charge. Starfallen come and go, it's reasonable that our voices shouldn't be the loudest. But I don't trust this grinning asshole to care about anything but his PR, and in some places the anti-meta and anti-Starfallen sentiment is getting dangerous.

I grew up with shit like this. I fear for what comes next.

[mostdangerousbird]

And the guilds should be at the forefront of combatting both, since they’re almost identical.

They have the PR to change public opinion. That’s one of their biggest selling points. Why are they content to let this build for so long and for the petty prejudices to continue to fester? Native, Starfallen, clone, etc.

I’d ask you what comes next, but I don’t want to give them ideas.

[helpdesk_hero]

Exactly! If you're the guild that is the 'heroes' then you should be fighting all injustices. Including poor treatment of those metas who aren't part of your number, or basic prejudices.

I refuse to give them ideas gleaned from what I saw back home. They already skirt rather close to some. But if you're genuinely curious, I don't doubt I could fill you in.

[mostdangerousbird]

Tempting. You understand why I can’t directly meet anyone based on this post.

[helpdesk_hero]

Because anyone can be Lemon Fanta's PR team in disguise. I know.

[mostdangerousbird]

The real sociopaths ARE the PR team.

[helpdesk_hero]

PR can be good or bad. But his PR probably make The Baron look like a good dog.

[mostdangerousbird]

All dogs are good dogs.

[helpdesk_hero]

I mean, literally Baron Von B really defies that assertion.

[mostdangerousbird]

I think I've potentially pissed off enough guild members today, and so I will leave the space open for the Baron to publicly declare good/bad/other dog preference.

[helpdesk_hero]

Goodest Bad Boy, like he wants to be?

[mostdangerousbird]

You down with G.B.B.?

[helpdesk_hero]

I'm not sure if you're too white or too human for that joke but take your pick.

[mostdangerousbird]

At this point in the anon thread, do you know that I’m not an ultraviolet alien?

[helpdesk_hero]

Because he has more taste.
