I don’t feel the same way as you, but I get it. Reaching this point is inevitable with most things in life, it’s a part of growing older.

Magic and monsters exist, but only white humans exist.....

Not writing/portraying shitty racist stereotypes isn’t hard, my victim.

I’m not even wading in to the comments to see if there is at least one person defending a Japanese development team making insular cultural decisions regarding their own fantasy universe, because I’m sure there is at least one. That said, I really wish people would stop using this as an excuse. Final Fantasy is an…

I can't wait to ride historically accurate chocobos.

It’s not too early to stop posting about them and prevent this from happening.

There’s nothing more pathetic than some incel simping for Musk. Seek help.

Yeah, Phoebe is definitely, quite clearly, intelligent - she has a very different approach to intelligence (compared to Ross, and it was always a delight watching her cheerfully make him look stupid), but was kind and thoughtful and like you said, brought a much needed shot of (the most absurdist kind of) realism that…

Yep, she was friends with the group because she had been Monica’s roommate, and she was loyal.  But she was clear-eyed about them too.

Plus Phoebe seemed like she had other social circles outside of the group, like she wasn’t as dependent on them to define her as a person. 

Phoebe was by no means dumb, and one of my favourite things about her was that she was this little seditious voice that pointed out how spoiled everyone else was by their social class, and she reminded the audience of this. She was a friend, but she was capable of taking the approach of, “oh, you’re worried about…
