In your tags you ask what's the issue and what isn't the issue with ceo-of-sloppy-men honestly that blog is just a mess from the url to the bio to the content to the takes just godawful. Clogs up the main tag with nsfw imagine commissions too. Like have your fun but maybe don't spread biased misinformation about lore?
Anon going for the jugular! But yeah, that's the general concensus I've seen around. Literally continuously posting misinformation while admitting they don't know enough to make those comments, refusing to admit it unless you coddle them and talk to them "politely" and then claiming stuff like this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's not weird that it happened twice because it's not weird that a person who doesn't read the lore doesn't know the lore.
Also in order to criticise the media you enjoy you first have to understand and actually engage with that media. You can't criticise something without knowing the facts. Nobody is mad about criticising Destiny, we're mad that we have to once again debunk misinformation about how the most important LGBT+ rep in video games between two gay men is not actually unhealthy, toxic, abusive or whatever the fuck people want to slap onto it. Ever since O14 has been made widely known, people have been super homophobic about it. Either it's just the cishet dudebro gamers or it's the weirdos in fandoms who only engage with fanon. But it's always homophobia (sometimes, if we're unlucky, with racism sprinkled in).
And of course, relationships aren't always perfect and without problems. Especially relationships between literal immortal people who have lived thousands of years of accumulated time with incomprehensible amount of interactions that we're not aware of. That doesn't mean they're unhealthy. So yeah, making a frankly embarrassing attempt at a breakdown of "unhealthy relationships" without fully understanding the relationships in question is at best annoying and at worst actively homophobic.
And istg if I see one more "lore is subjective" take, I am going to mcfucking lose it. SOME lore is unreliable, but a vast majority of the lore is, in fact, objective. It's telling a story. We were able to fully guess Savathun!Osiris in every detail just by reading lore. You can't do that if lore is subjective.
