What an absolutely crazy comparison. I cannot think of a single similarity except for the fact they're both wlw like what?

I feel as some people don't realize how condescending they are being online. But beyond that, I feel like it has been an eternal issue in fandom (especially prominent today) where people feel that if someone is critical of something they like, it as an attack on them as a person.

Personally I lean towards plural! While each release of Pokemon games tend to function as a single entity, saying "and" in the title suggests a plurality in my mind. Same with S/V, the slash suggests multiple entities to me, and I think the same would apply to any readers who aren't Pokemon fans.

Excellent! I'm adding The Raven Tower to my list now. Ann Leckie does such a great job with writing from interesting perspectives, narrators with unique voices.

Have you read Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie? If not I highly recommend it!

Haven't watched the video yet, but honestly, agreed! This chapter is definitely a bit weak, and there's nothing wrong with saying so. People are so resistant to the idea that something can be good, and yet there can be weaker portions of it!
