This is being taken way out of context. (However, even in context, it's still a little dumb.) They aren't saying don't say "The French" in general, they were using that as an example of how you shouldn't write any nationality. The French, The Dutch, The Japanese, etc. Instead, you should write French people, Dutch people, and Japanese people, etc.
Obviously they weren't going up to bat to defend the poor, downtrodden French people. Just using it as an example.

Needles were actually much bigger back then. Jesus was remarking about how easy it is for rich people to get into heaven.

I see no downside in what you just wrote.

It's possible that Earth used to have visible rings. The theory is that a large body collided with Earth ~4 billion years ago, the debris of which formed visible rings, and those rings eventually formed our moon.

Or what if we get a bunch of rockets and push it into Mars?

Ah my bad. I was thinking of the story when Kayn met Zed. But he was a child soldier, not a serial killer. Thanks!

Yeah, other Darkins in the game: Aatrox (trapped in a sword), Varus (trapped in a bow), Yuumi (trapped in a book)

I'm not too deep into the lore, but isn't part of what enables this that Kayn was already a serial killer? They can have more of a symbiotic relationship because they both want the same thing anyway lol

Yeah it's the point where they're going to find whole species of multicellular life still swimming around over there, and I'll still reflexively skip the articles. Lol for a solid week I'll still be rolling my eyes at "all the click bait".

Yep, thanks for clarifying my comment! I just meant that "the French" part was referring to nationalities. But, yes, the sentiment was to avoid using "The [x]" and instead write something like "[x] people."
