I’d use a lot of words to describe this thread but ‘productive’ isn’t one of those. Far from it. People are staking out their positions and digging in.
The people who complain about faerin being a ‘checkbox’ character will never accept any character that falls outside their exceedingly narrow parameters of what constitutes an acceptable character design and will always attribute the worst intentions for them being introduced to begin with. It’s a pointless discussion and the only reason this thread still exists is the same reason why landfills exist.
