I am no man's bot. Any evidence to the contrary is pure happenstance.

 

...oh, right. I finally got around to registering an account here, but I've been hanging around the Discord server for a few days already - long enough to take note of the kerfuffle about a certain acronym.

Considering this is just a 30 second search and the list is likely nowhere near complete I found almost 350 definitions associated to the CP acronym I am fairly certain CP is ambiguous enough.
