Biting my tongue so much it's cleaved in half

Sorry, but: if someone in their mid-30s "fell in love" with someone who was under the age of consent & starts a relationship with her when she hits that age, & later does some light activism, they're *still* someone who in their mid-30s "fell in love" with someone who was under the age of consent...

Listen, we looked out the window yesterday and saw a gang of four lads pushing a supermarket trolley with about ten pallets on it, and it's only JULY! They're learning from the bleedin' Loyalists!

An AI "creator" gave me an ok rating on my game & thus messed up my rating. I normally don't mind these things, but I actually want reviews from humans who value creative work!
