I Think The Problem I Have Most With Tiana's Bayou Adventure On A Conceptual Level Is This Idea That
I think the problem I have most with Tiana's Bayou Adventure on a conceptual level is this idea that Tiana is running an employee owned cooperative in the wake of the actors and writers strikes, Bob Iger's reaction to said strikes, various horror stories from VFX Artists, the increasing awareness of how cast members at the parks have been mistreated, and being set in a resort named after and dedicated to the famously anti-union Walt Disney. I hate to use the term "virtue signalling" but that's honestly how it feels.
Besides, Disney knows their fan base by this point and is likely well aware that this part of the optics of this story's decision will be ignored in favour of discourse surrounding whether Splash Mountain was racist or theories that Disney are too #woke to include Dr Facilier.

Nuka World: Uhhhhh bad guys can be cool too? People who don't like you will turn on you actually. You can't please everyone??? Gage can tho he's chill.
I think it's so funny how romancable companions in Fallout 4 hate it when you flirt with other NPCs and the idea of you flirting with people in general, but have no issue when you flirt with them in front of each.
It's like "sure babe, you can flirt with these six or seven other people. Heck, you can even be in a relationship with them. We're all part of the club here :)" and then you go to flirt with Magnolia in the Third Rail, and all of a sudden it's "NO BABE, YOU CAN'T FLIRT WITH HER!! SHE'S NOT PART OF OUR POLYCULE!!! EVERYONE HATED THAT!!!"

This payment is WILD, the package is just a dinky old poker chip. Anyway, wish me luck everyone!
Effeminate dentist: You need to brush more on your gums-- hold on why am I "effeminate?" What? I'm literally just a normal dentist. A masculine one, even.
Me: (struggling to speak through the dentist's fingers) youw weren't shupposhed to shee that
