but this was an art asset that the FR staff DREW and APPROVED before adding it to the site, this isnt some usermade thing that the admins suddenly discovered and said "hey we cant have this on our site!!!" this is official onsite art.

they evidently were okay with it until people started complaining about it and then decided to quell the drama by just removing them. idk how you can interpret that any other way

Undel said she didn't approve the final art tho. So it's entirely possible she saw it after the fact and decided against it.

Anon i dont have any stake in this fight (i think the whole things kinda a nothingburger on both sides tbh) but undel explicitly says "I approved the original familiar" in that link

She also says "and no, I didn't know what they looked like when I did so." In that same sentence.

Now I don't really care as I haven't been active and thus missed warriors way and didn't know what the fans looked like but I just have to ask.......why approve something she straight up didn't see like....I'm going into game development and I have classes where we are making a game as a team over the semester and I make sure even the smallest of things that change visually gets someone higher up eyes on it and approval before I move on. Mostly because I'm paranoid but also to make sure it still works with the theme/idea. So the whole 'approving without actually laying eyes on it' thing straight up *baffles* me.

Anon, respectfully... where's your fucking reading comprehension? It's PAINFULLY obvious Undel was referring to not knowing what the REAL LIFE EQUIVALENT looked like, NOT that she approved the familiar "without actually seeing it". I don't care about the battlelisks either way because I don't like the FR Basilisks in general but I WOULD like some of you to use your brain a little.

Then the sentence is structured wierd because even reading it not at 2 am and half asleep it still reads to me as she didn't look at the familer before approving it *shrug* sorry. I literally haven't actively played fr in a good 2 years outside of occasionally checking. So I literally do not care. But that's how I read that sentence even while wide awake and aware.

think this ones on you nonnie, it definitely reads as "i approved the familiar but at the time i didn't know the implications" to me

Anon, "respectfully"... it's actually not that obvious at all, her meaning isn't clear. it sounds like she either 1: approved the concept but not the final art bc someone else worked on it or 2: approved the final art but didn't know what real life cockfighting looked like. both are plausible.

in any case, the person who posted the link's point stands: Undel didnt know about real life cockfighting and made the decision herself. it wasn't necessarily a bunch of angry users complaining that led to this change. they probably just brought the issue to her attention.

I'm not a native English speaker and I got the same meaning as ayrt so I guess, according to you, I'm a dumb fuck, cool. There is no need to be so angry over a trivial misunderstanding.

It's really not obvious, kind of like how your comment really isn't respectful.

FR users are notorious for their abysmal reading comprehension and their inability to read a whole post. youre fighting a losing battle if you expect otherwise. people are still going "AGILITY WAS REMOVED WHY WAS I DODGED!!!! STAFF LIED" weeks after staff said they temp nerfed high-agility enemies, to name one example.
