I was glad dave mentioned this one, I have no idea why but I find these infuriating in a way no other content is. There is one account that has basically an entire chad daniels album in her toks and it drives me crazy.

Hello fellow guardians, im usually a PvE type of guardian and i rarely go and fight battles with other race and classes but i decided to try and go for level 5 and i did. Couple things i have learn:
-
Shotguns: While my grind to rank 5 i have notice people like to slide and shogun my guts put of existence and its ok. Its part of the game and people figured a way to combine a slide move with shotty. Its just extremely annoying and i hate how people perfected with a passion.
-
Surprisingly easy to reach Rank 5: Since it was my first time i went with the mentality of this might take forever or atleast take me till saturday or sunday. I was completely wrong, i reached rank 5 in a day (give or take). Keep in mind i played for about 5hrs tuesday and 7-9 hrs wednesday.
-
The Lag: pretty much every time there is a Iron Banner event, this place gets full of posts of the lag or or if you cant pass a special wifi test before joining IB. I did not experience much lag to be honest as i thought it was going to be. Only had one match were the dude was lagging and jumping everywhere and it got annoying.
-
I actually enjoyed it: Crucible is a fun place and playing IB opened my eyes. I rarely played PvP because it felt that it was going to be difficult to win, get kills, or enjoy it. I WAS WRONG. I really cant wait until the next IB to grind again. For some odd reason i wanted to compare the PvP to call of duty or battlefield and i cant. This is unque from those games and i have learned that.
-
Scout rifles: I really would like to know since when Scout rifles became a thing in PvP. Most of the time i got killed with the MIDA. First thing that came in mind was how high it was the reload. The bar was full on someone. So i dropped my suros and picked up a scout. It was a heck of a gun.
So at the end of this i really enjoyed playing IB and like i said it opened my eyes and and i will be playing Crucible more often. Anyone of my fellow guardians have the same experience as i did? First time doing IB or returning to IB after a long while?
I'm gonna be honest- I don't particularly care about the Timeless Child- honestly I'm not a big enough nerd to get bothered about it. And I am merely disappointed, and not angry, about the lackluster dialogue, characterization.
What does make me actually angry and resentful is the awful r/menwritingwomen type stuff. For what it's worth I don't think it stems from any malice and I don't think it's intentional sexism at all- I do think it's subconscious and just incompetence, or perhaps just a fundamentally different vision of who the Doctor is. But that doesn't change the fact that the first woman Doctor has been written to be far more passive, far less competent and with far less agency than all of her predecessors, especially in NewWho.
The 13th Doctor isn't treated the same way as her predecessors. The previous Doctors were allowed to be demigods hulking over the plot- they had boatloads of agency, they were allowed to have the spotlight, they were allowed to actually be competent.
13 on the other hand is far too passive. Her agency is often removed. Side characters are allowed to usurp her spotlight (usually men). Some examples:
Revolution of the Daleks: The Doctor is imprisoned by Judoon. How does she escape? Well, she doesn't. She sits around apparently doing nothing for (going by the markings on the wall) decades until she's rescued by a man. There is no indication that she even tried anything. No, The Doctor was reduced to a damsel in distress waiting to be saved by a man (Jack Harkness). Hell, even during the rescue she entirely follows his lead, and they even have Jack do the 'hand grab + run' thing- that's the Doctor's thing! This whole sequence robs the Doctor of any agency or competency. Compare this to 12's imprisonment in Heaven Sent.
(Not)Trump's lack of punishment by the Doctor- To keep this post brief I will link Giga Who's quick rant about this. A snippet: " Why tease us with the Doctorβs anger, the suggestion that she wants to actually do something about Robertson this time, only to instantly drop it all in a manner that accentuates her inaction?" TL;DR: She utterly fails to take Robertson to task for his shittiness with the Daleks or the spiders. Compare that to 10 destroying Harriet Jones' government- was that a good thing to do? Maybe not, but it showed agency on 10's part, compared to 13's usual impotent inact

It is 2022 after all...and that memory leak still is not fixed.
