If the group named in the label dislikes it, then that should be paid attention to.
Unless that is the goal.
Which I certainly hope isn't the case here.

Elon Musk now has bodyguards flank him everywhere inside Twitter HQ — including accompanying him to the bathroom. He is reportedly paranoid that someone in the company may go rogue & stage a coup.

2 different things in order of when they were relevant:

My memory of the dryads at the start of BG2 is so wrong.
I remember them working for him and trying to get you to stay with them…
WTF…
