Always nice to see a new Lenafriend around here. Your first mistake was expecting decency from /vg/, where decency goes to die before it's even born. Your second was not coming here sooner. I think you'll find us far more accommodating, so please make yourself at home, enjoy the more leisurely pace, and feel free to check out some of the older threads (which, be advised, have become pretty wordy in the past few months) for content by plugging the links in the OP into an archive site. I'm also one of the few diehard Lena fans you'll meet (at least on this site) who genuinely likes Emily, so I'll come to her defense by saying I think she introduces some sorely-needed love and comfort into a character's arc that has otherwise been discouragingly bleak. You might not agree with me, and I myself would certainly prefer something more substantive, but until that happens, I appreciate her just for the relief she brings. There are also some hints that she has some connection to the lunar colony, so there might be more to her that we don't yet know.
Unfortunately, knowing for sure would require Blizzard to use their time constructively instead of going out of their way to create something underwhelming. We seem to have entered a dark age over the past year, and that is likely the culprit behind the drop in enthusiasm we have seen lately (back in 2016, these threads would have upwards of 40-50 posters). It's a crying shame, because she and so many others deserve so much better. Be assured, though; for she is loved, and I intend to keep these threads going to share and spread that love for as long as possible. And you guys seem like pretty good company to have along for that.
