      Clique is a word that has lost all meaning, to the point where trying to use it when it’s actually applicable means it just gets lost in the noise of everyone and their dog referring to any friend group (or in a lot of cases, perceived friend group that may or may not exist) of which they’re not a part as a clique.

      To some degree I can understand why it happens, but it’s a big personal peeve, and it does indeed compound the idea that being friends with people in this hobby is in some way a bad thing that must be justified, but which will always be seen as slightly shady, particularly if any of those friends is in some sort of authoritative position (or, heaven forbid, most/all of them).

        Friendship is not bad.

        Friendship is amazing.

        Being an exclusionary twit, that is bad.

          I’ve got friends. Even one or two from MUing. As a matter of course I never deal with them ‘professionally’ in any capacity, MU or RL.

          That’s how I keep friends.

                      @Rathenhope believe it or not I somehow did this after trying to ‘x’ out of BMD in the middle of a work meeting. I am become boomer.

                        Friendship bad. Only enemies and lone wolves sitting in their dark corners of the tavern.

                          @Testament This picture is almost a verbatim quote from NieR: Automata. In a pretty heavy plot point.

                            I thought the heavy plot point was the robot chick’s ass.

                              The correct terminology is “thicc” I think.

                                Friendship is good.

                                I have made some amazing friendships.

                                Everyone else is like someone you see in a grocery store.

                                they | them

                                    everyone is my buddy til they do something very unbuddylike.

                                    then they’re just a probationary pal.

                                    further demotion to chum is possible but from there it’s only a slippery slope down to duder, sport, and then “oh hey, that person”

                                            @Wizz Man, your cats must move along that scale like they’re strolling on a piano keyboard. Back and forth, back and forth.
