<H1>deven's "shitlist"</H1>
<HR size="1" width="25%" align="left" />
<P>
This is my "shitlist", or list of things you shouldn't like (- I like some of these things but probably shouldn't).
This is a list of <B>public figures and brands</B>, nothing personal.
If you're on this list you're probably famous enough to not have to care.
</P>
<P>
I would like to mention that the omission of a brand or figure on this list does not make them good.
"Good brands", in my experience, are just brands about which less is known.
I am also a human and therefore biased.
Any company that currently employs me will not appear on this list, and if I am employed by a company, they'll be removed.
</P>
<P>
You're welcome to suggest additions to this list via a pull request on this website's git repository,
information about this can be found on the site index.
Or just email me.
</P>
<P>
I sourced many links from the personal page of Richard Stallman (who, ironically, <A HREF="#stallman">is also on this list</A>). <BR />
I'd also like to thank my friend Yarah for her contributions to this page.
</P>

CDPR's new game <I>Cyberpunk 2077</I> is pretty trans-phobic but it seems to me that a lot of outlets are writing about it just to have a story on a page and not to actually deliver information.
Lots of these articles are full of fluff but their critiques are still interesting.
