Notes
- The use of gently cares is a slight misspelling of Something Awful's word filter for the work "fuck", which is "gently caress". Users who are not registered will encounter word filters changing various words into alternative phrases. (Such examples include asshole > rear end in a top hat, fucking > loving, or shit > poo poo.)
