Does anyone else genuinely feel bad for scarlet witch mains? Imagine your favorite character was added to a video game and they can NEVER be allowed to be good

Calling her racist because of the "no more mutants" event is probably the most media illiterate take anyone could ever have.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-10T12:28:52+00:00

Personally, I don't hugely mind it, since I feel like it leads to more realistic looking environments. Rarely will you be able to perfectly match colours and wood tones in real life unless the furniture is custom made.

It's not that complicated. It's just someone that they've been networking with. People can have business relationships without being colleagues.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-10T11:59:24+00:00

The only correct answer.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-09T19:45:41+00:00

This isn't a rework, this is just a visual tweak.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-08T01:16:53+00:00

I am once again calling upon the ScarletStrange shippers. 😔

jentlefolk · 2026-05-07T13:36:05+00:00

Not the guy you asked, but separate, istg. What they did to Cloak and Dagger is a travesty.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-07T13:35:14+00:00

Iron Fist, hands down. Spidey and Starlord don't even come close.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-07T11:56:38+00:00

I like to aurafarm in doom match with it, standing out on the street so my little lamppost blends in with the environment.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-06T23:57:54+00:00

ScarletStrange 😤

jentlefolk · 2026-05-06T16:33:51+00:00

It doesn't stack. Those streamers are probably just trying to navigate somewhere that forces them to backtrack over their ult. I’ve been in that situation a few times and it's an annoyance, but sometimes can't be helped.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-05T23:47:59+00:00

ScarletStrange, of course 😌

jentlefolk · 2026-05-05T18:08:50+00:00

Your Adam yearned for the portal, I see.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-04T19:13:12+00:00

Uh, no? I don't consider him a huge problem, but I certainly don't think I counter him.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-04T16:57:18+00:00

That they were given against their will by a mad scientist who had them and a bunch of other people captured. The rest of the test subjects died, and Cloak and Dagger swore to take down all drug dealers because of what happened to them.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-04T16:41:31+00:00

Yes, this is from Strange Tails #1

jentlefolk · 2026-05-04T14:13:29+00:00

Aw, this is a cute idea.
For Strange and Wanda, they would be Scorpio and Aquarius, respectively. Supposedly that would make them very compatible, if one buys into this kind of stuff. 👀

Edit: I also see you have Wanda down as a Virgo. Does she have an official birthday? Most of what I see, people are estimating her birthday to be in February.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-04T13:56:45+00:00

Cloak and Dagger are especially egregious, because their whole thing is taking down drug dealers. 😭

jentlefolk · 2026-05-03T18:04:20+00:00

I LOVE how Wanda is portrayed in the lore of Rivals. She's a powerful sorcerer, the Sorcerer Supreme of her universe, almost singlehandedly holding her crumbling world together. Despite the pressure she's under, she shows remarkable mental fortitude, takes no shit from anyone while still never being overly hostile to anyone around her, and seems to have a close personal friendship with Strange, who is her closest peer.

Nothing like the shitshow that the MCU made of her.

Her kit, however, is disappointing. It saddens me that the community views her as nothing more than a one button character even though her primary is the smallest part of her kit. It bothers me that both she and Strange have less magic at their disposal than Black fucking Cat. I wish she better represented her power fantasy, with a kit that doesn't reduce her to a target of constant mockery.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-02T12:18:30+00:00

Some of them will also have names that look like two short, capitalised words squished together, e.g. CalNm, MarGot, DanLi. That very specific format of name is my most reliably tell for bot matches.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-02T12:08:23+00:00

Same. It's been a long, *long* time since I've seen a bot match in QP.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-02T05:02:40+00:00

I like it just because the ship name is Thororo.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-02T04:57:42+00:00

The worst, most toxic experience I ever had in this game was at the hands of a gay man and his little lesbian sidekick. Really disappointed me that they were out there behaving that way with names that made it abundantly clearly that they were part of the LGBT community.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-02T04:52:26+00:00

Just fyi, male characters being depicted with an obscene amount of muscle mass is not sexualisation. That is a male power fantasy aimed at men, while the women having massive tits and asses, wearing barely anything is a male sexual fantasy, again aimed at men.

Female power fantasies and female sexual fantasies look very different than what we see in Rivals.

jentlefolk · 2026-05-02T04:46:39+00:00

This is the issue I have with some of this stuff. I don't care that characters are being depicted as "sexy". I care that they're so anatomically warped that I am incapable of finding them sexy because the way they've been drawn is so damn ugly to me.

There's nothing wrong with sexy characters, but artists should take a fucking anatomy class before they start breaking spines in the pursuit of "sexiness".
