*shrug* whatever people get paid to do/call themselves isn't my business, my issue was the fact that the original cited article claimed that she was a total fabrication and people here were taking it deadly seriously.
"And the book says: 'We may be through with the past, but the past ain't through with us.'"
I've known Lauren for a long time (starting out when we were both hanging out on Destructoid back in ~2008), and this is fucking hilarious to me. The idea that the person I've known for 4 years is a made-up personality is ridiculous.
Maybe she's a real journalist but not a real person, as in she's a replicant. Square-Enix literally created her. It's a totally credible theory.
