      Empress is considered the best Denuvo cracker in the world. Mostly because she’s the only one that is consistently successful.

      There are two major trains of thought regarding her. The first: she’s a batshit crazy narcissist who is more toxic than a Kardashian-Jenner family dinner where Kanye and Pete Davidson show up unannounced. The second: she’s the goddess and the most wonderful woman on the planet and one day she’ll recognize my loyalty and I will have a place in her New World Order.

        She’s also definitely Russian, and we, Russians, believe that it’s a guy.

        There’s no women on the Internet.

        I wouldn’t be surprised if Empress is a group of two or more people. At least one to handle the “persona” of Empress and the rest to do the cracking. Artificial personas and obfuscated identities are Internet 101.

            Of course I don’t get to decide what’s a slur. The people who use mental conditions as insults decide that.

              It sure seems like you’re in here trying to enforce your personal opinion that the word people are using is a slur.

                It’s not an opinion. Opinions are likes and dislikes, and subjectives with no evidence. This isn’t one of those. There is a clear definition, and clear evidence that it meets the definition. It’s a fact.

            Narcissist is a slur when it’s used in a derogatory sense by someone who does not have the disability. You can say “person with NPD”, or pwNPD for short, or you can avoid insulting someone by alleging mental disability in the first place.

            wasn’t there some drama where some other cracker group exposed “her” as being some bulgarian dude?

              dont put money into that “announcement”. they “exposed” her to be an old cracker who was in the scene many, many years ago. that person is to this day fighting a court case about their time in the scene. they’ve also written a post somewhere on the net talking about this and how hurt and confused they are to be dragged back into this mess. and the group that did the “exposing” has, as far as i have seen, not provided a single piece of evidence for their claims.

              innocent until proven guilty. no one knows who empress is, so you may as well believe she is the woman she says to be.

                They’ve aggressively stated they’re a cis woman and has found the implication of her being trans incredibly insulting.
