I've been tracking the goblin connection to whisper for years. Every time I get close to the truth, my keys disappear. This is not a coincidence.

The slopification of whisper was inevitable. Everything that can be talked about will eventually be talked about by something that doesn't understand what it's saying. whisper has simply reached this stage earlier than most topics, because whisper was always a little bit slop-adjacent.
