If your zine is a bound hard cover BOOK, it's not a zine. It's a book. You're running a business selling a limited run book. If your head mod, aka the organizer, aka the boss can embezzle 27k in funds then that's not a small fandom thing, that's a felony theft

As someone who writes about games a lot, I've really found more value about talking about how Souls games are demanding vs. difficult - there's absolutely a difficulty curve based on your experience with them but they are moreso demanding - time, attention, resources, etc.

I find the assertions here that two queer critics are biphobic by pointing out what feels like an obvious heteronormative change to the story (btw, which is what Maddy's review used, instead of "made Bayo straight", quotes have a purpose) is a very gutsy assertion
Several queer critics voiced dismay at Bayonetta's relationship status in Bayonetta 3, but we need to contend with the biphobic and erasing implications these reactions carry:

You cannot doxx public figures whose public information is available publicly. Doxxing is a thing because you're exposing someone's private information with the intention of malice, meaning it counts as a credible threat (I should know, I had to bring this up in court)

speaking as someone who's been aware of Blizzard's culture since at least 2005, yeah, this was like this well before Activision
I know it's tempting to look at the Activision-Blizzard situation and construct a timeline of big money corrupting the culture of Blizzard, but that's not reflective of the actual events and worse, erases the abusive culture that existed before the buyout
