Pretty much. I wouldn’t call Kyrie “normal,” but comparing the two is a bit of a stretch.
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

I think various Hawks have made it more than clear over the past two years that this, especially at this frequency and degree of repetition, makes some of our folks a little uncomfortable and a lot weirded out. I and others have asked with varying degrees of nicety that it kindly go die in a fire. Not caring, okay, i can get, but I’m not quite sure how that’s beyond you as a concept.

Have you considered the possibility that your reaction is why they do it?
They're not here to be sensitive to your preferences, and you're frankly making a mountain out of a mole hill. It looks petty.

Ever-Wandering Souls wrote:What would be annoying, and also normal, would be something like, say, co-opting the well-established “hatchlings” label we use for our little trainee Hawks, and going on about the little birdies making a mess, shitting everywhere, whatever. That would be annoying, and absolutely fair play, quite relevant, all that jazz. Same result, more sensical.

Ever-Wandering Souls wrote:This? This, and it’s connotations, make people uncomfortable. That’s the difference. I’m not sure if you legitimately don’t see that, or do and are fine with it.

I agree it's an absurd argument, primarily because it pales in comparison to the truly nasty shit that goes on in gameplay, and I think people in TBH are ill served by their superiors acting like this is a big deal. If they think this makes them uncomfortable they're unprepared for the worse shit they're likely to face.
But just to be clear, TGW's "daddy" thing is bizarre and juvenile, and they should probably cut it out.

I've had some conversations and I really don't think it's manufactured drama, it's genuinely making some people uncomfortable. I think they need to grow a thicker skin if they're going to participate in gameplay, but I also think TGW should stop doing something that is clearly making people uncomfortable at an OOC level.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it "toxic" in the actionable sense, but really, just stop.

NSFW? Kink? Really?
Get your minds out of the gutter, people. Not everything is always innuendo. My RL daughter calls me "Daddy" when we're speaking english, do I have to call CPS on myself now? ffs
