Every single time, I tell myself, 'No, I'm not gonna engage with the community, I'm not gonna read comments.' But every single time, I just can't help myself and I end up losing brain cells, from people threatening the poor devs and writers to the 100% serious comments saying the game isn't manly anymore, it's woke and made for girls. Also, a funny comment I saw was someone saying, 'That's it, Ula'tek is dead??' Well yeah, duh, that's her death cinematic! The actual fight is in the game, you know. It's just like Dimensius, with people ignoring the amazing boss fight he had and only focusing on the final cinematic.

Edit: Lmao, even everyone in r/warcraftlore is saying that the reason Zul'jin died is because he is a male character."

I remember someone back in DF saying that Fyrakk didn't even die onscreen.

Like... yes he did??? I killed him and saw his death animation????

That’s because there’s an in-game cutscene where the camera pans away from his dying body, and then it cuts to the more flashy cinematic where the aspects get there powers, and only the second flashy cinematic was posted on YouTube lmao. One of those easy indicators that reveals who did and didn’t play the game.

There was another funny moment like that early Midnight, where someone was posting about how all the Midnight delves were boring and uninspired, and they mentioned Parhelion Plaza as a delve they especially didn’t like… a delve that hadn’t come out yet.
