I'm kind of getting sick of this, guys. (Meta)

I'm not here to whine about people spreading the word about "folk your lore." Margaret Stohl is awful, I agree. It's important that people know Bungie are hiring neglectful writers but at this point the issue is very well known to regulars on the Lore forum. We get it, they're being shitty to the universe, but that doesn't mean we need to let their failings ruin our enjoyment of the world that Staten created out of the mess Bungie's management put him through. Destiny's lore community puts a lot of time and energy into their content. Despite the game's universe deserving better portrayal than Bungie gives it, the lore community eats up all of the content that they get and does its best to construct the awesome story behind the terrible games and careless writers. This is our hobby. We speculate on timelines and ponder the nuances of certain aspects of the Grimoire and argue about whether Oryx could potentially come back (hint, he won't.) We're not here to apologize for Bungie's failings, we do everything we can to refine the utter clusterf*ck of a timeline to understand the story. As a result, it's so disheartening to see people skipping over the content of long, well written lore posts to write replies that add literally nothing to the OP. " [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/243850138?sort=0&page=0&path=1]95% of them never existed in the first place. ...folklore...[/url] ", " [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/243835954?sort=0&page=0&path=1]FOLKLORE![/url] ", " [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/243832698?sort=0&page=0&path=1]Folklore ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ according to Bungie[/url] ", " [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/243800107?sort=0&page=0&path=1]It's folklore[/url] ". This isn't funny anymore. It's just stupid. You're not doing anything other than circlejerking by commenting this. We know it, casuals know it, everyone knows it. You're not spreading the knowledge. You're not contributing. You're not saying anything that needs to be said. You're just being inflammatory and it doesn't help anyone. TL;DR "but folklore tho" comments are useless. Please be a constructive part of the community. You're sure not doing much by spamming that. inb4 folklore EDIT: [url=https://twitter.com/dropslash/status/957720425798094848?s=20]Here's[/url] a little twitter thread about why the whole lore situation is an issue for lore fans. I think this captures the popular idea pretty well, so if you aren't familiar with this conversation then this should help you understand it. EDIT 2: Big thanks to DrakeBG757 for [url=https://i.imgur.com/qsXZWCj.jpg]tl;dr-ing this better than I could.[/url]. Let’s not shit on each other because Bungie are shitting on the universe we enjoy.

  • Linking to individual posts to target them for ridicule and using sexually explicit terminology to degrade their posting habits is a violation of the Code of Conduct, as it disrupts the conversation and could lead to insults and harassment of other users. I understand you want to have meaningful discussions about lore, but leading by example is the right way to go about this, NOT creating a thread whose primary purpose is to shame and insult other users who don't post in the way you think they should. Long experience on these forums teaches that this kind of thread does absolutely nothing to help, and often makes the problem you're complaining about even worse, as evidenced by many of the responses here. I'm locking this thread out of the named forums. Please feel free to make a new thread in the same vein if you'd like, as long as you avoid Code of Conduct violations, but honestly I wouldn't recommend it. Leading by example and ignoring poor/bad posts is the only way to both foster good discussion and save your own sanity :-)
