Lego had a study done about how young girls and young boys play with dolls and toys because they wanted to expand their market beyond appealing to young boys. Simply painting the Lego blocks pink didn't work in gaining a new audience of girls. What they found was that young boys want to become the character while young girls want the character to become them.
This explains a lot of current and past events and it also proves that if you want to absolutely tank an IP made for boys, you put women in charge of it, because they will inevitably steer it towards themselves and their own idiosyncrasies instead of respecting the fanbase and the IP it grew around. This isn't related only to toys but anything women touch and any field women enter into, because they're fundamentally, at a genetic level, beings which have evolved to be preoccupied with themselves and their children first, the rest doesn't matter, it never did and it never will, unless it serves them and their interests somehow.
They cannot and will never understand men because they're not men, they don't understand the hero's journey because they're born with intrinsic value to society and don't have to earn it by becoming, they simply are, that being their greatest advantage and their biggest curse because they look up to people they consider men without ever looking down at men they don't consider people, and when they get in charge of an institution or in this case an IP which was created for men they don't consider people, they have zero tolerance for their protestations, because social class is the only hierarchy women truly understand.

I feel if you can post an exception in Slack that no one's seen since the project began 28 years ago off a fresh clone + init scripts, you should win some sort of prize. Bonus points for if it's also not on the sharedrive, XWiki, SharePoint, or massive email chain that's been auto-forwarded to you as part of onboarding.

@ins0mniak It's annoying that those of us with impulse control get inadvertently lumped in with retards pulling dumb stunts. Support your local businesses.

@Fullmetal2255 I will make a note in my evening prayers for the catgirl Bone to be real.
@Shlomo There's terminal lance and then there's this. Probably thought it was going to be another tour killing ragheads for 4x the money. Mercs get what mercs deserve.
@professionalbigot69 @lonestarr @whiteman_ @WoodshopHandman What's the plan for if they're maliciously retarded?

Most people aren't going to go out of their way to set up their own environments, nor tune them, or invest the resources into making sure they work correctly. The information is out there if they wish to set up their own and spend the time on it.
I am aware people have their reservations about it considering past experiences but every decision I have made has been in the community's best interests, and have started small. It's the reason why I didn't up and buy a $30,000 server for NCD, NCTV, Matrix, our git repository and so on. I consolidate resources and expand as necessary.
To say that it's reminiscent of "Torba" is exceptionally irritating. I could make so much money selling retarded shit to boomers but instead I sit here and invest my own time and resources into what I'm doing here. I would appreciate a little bit of benefit of the doubt considering these facts. Ironically it's generally the people who don't contribute who kvetch the most. I'm just tired of having to talk to people like children, really.
