You mean the Disney that conservative groups got mad at because two women had a split second "kiss" in a movie, or the Disney that made Song of the South?

The given answers, and so they can act like there wasn't that much of what happened.

No one can watch all that, so they'll claim that violence is cherry picked and it's the mostly peaceful protest they've been claiming the whole time.

It's still a lie but it's one they're giving "evidence" to their supporters for.

I made a villain probably more than 15 years ago at this point that, to this day, any player who was in that campaign will promptly tell me "fuck you" if I mention him or do a little flourish with my finger.

Philip the Brigand! He was born of several suggestions for memorability. A title, not just a name. Personality flair (such as, but not limited to, the flourish), and a knack for escape being the three I remember. Not plot armor, for sure. A great eye for knowing when the battle wasn't going his way though, which was usually shortly after ruining the party's day. Like when he loosed a rust monster that destroyed the fighter's treasured sword and also broke the monk's arm.

Mostly they pictured an incredibly annoying version of Autolycus from Xena/Hercules. Not unfair.

And readily available resources. No need to put effort into space saving tricks when space is so easy to come by

Yesterday the thing you love was the crappy new thing and lots of vocal assholes hated it.

Today you can choose to be the vocal asshole or just enjoy the thing you enjoy, no false praise needed.

Tomorrow the crappy new thing will be fondly remembered and the vocal assholes of today will seem foolish and, in part, pretend they never hated today's thing.

This is true across various properties. The fact that you think "we don't want to hear your constant whining" equates to "you have to praise the thing I like even if you don't like it" really says something.

Might Bluesky be doing the same?

Nah. I've had a domain registered with them for years and I just got the email too

I've had an email in my inbox for over a decade. The subject is FYI. The sender is listed as Allen Large, but in all caps. And the body is as follows

--
Email Mr Allen now.

Realistically it's just bad spam but sometimes I get myself wondering what shady deal fell apart because they sent something urgent to the wrong person
