Why are people so mad that their head cannons are destroyed? It’s called a headcannon as in not real and stupid

When you play for almost 3 years without any real background to the game, you get kinda invested in your warframe. For me its not about the fact that I was wrong, its about the fact that it feels like you have no choice but to pick up this canon.

Yeah you could just ignore it, but its the principle upon which you established your views just to later be told “ you arent right” and now you have to literally live with that fact. Its like… sitting in the back of your liset eating doritos or something.

People got invested. They created themselves around these characters. Nothing pointed to anything else so why not.

Its like growing a tree on a small plot of land. Hard work and time but you made it and you are proud of it. Then the government builds a road though that land and takes away your tree. They can do that, but you are kinda de-valueing people’s investments and interests Its only human nature to get attached to something no matter how much you dont want to.

Those that got invested are escapists that can’t differentiate reality from fantasy. Like something? Okay. Drawing otps? Okay. Discarding and de-valuing the work DE put into the game for FINALLY giving lore just because your make believe fantasy isn’t real is not okay. I’m using “you” and “you’re in general terms.

Wait. Are people really getting angry about this? That’s actually really rude towards DE and childish on their part

Lmao they do. “Fuck you DE”, “ima uninstall!!!”, “the lore is shit”. What gets me the most is how lotus said - they discard and degrade hard work of DE because it doesn’t fit their wet fantasies. Remembering ember prime codex now makes me realize they had this concept for so long. Now, people who can be considered as warfram vetersns spitting acid at this revealed lore and saying they quit – did you really play this game for your fantasies solely?

This just in.

You can now edit your Arsenal in the relay. This can now save us hours of getting those Syndicate color schemes right without having to go in and out of the relay with those loading screens.

Ooho! is an edible, biodegradable plastic water bottle that can be eaten. It is made from seaweed and calcium chloride, and costs only two cents per orb to manufacture. 

cool, but why?

The main reason is pollution, but I can see this having a lot of application in areas of the world where they can’t necessarily afford to produce water bottles. They’re enormously cheaper to manufacture than water bottles for the same comparable amount of water.

While we’re talking about abusive RPers...

…don’t forget that some of the flags of an abusive roleplayer are identical to the ones for abusive RL relationships.

The Idolize > Isolate > Devalue > Discard cycle that we see in a lot of abusive RL relationships is actually creepily common online and devastating to the victim, despite the lack of physical damage in most cases (I say “most” because I have seen people driven to self-harm or suicide attempts by online abuse of this type).

Idolize: the abuser is desperate to roleplay with the target. They lavish them with attention, gifts, plots, writing, and/or art. The abuser will do anything to become the target’s new best friend.  Some abusers will become irrationally angry if rejected at this stage and transition into stalking and/or harassment.

Isolate: the abuser begins peeling the target away from any existing friends or RP partners. They’ll attempt to occupy all their online time and suggest they do a lot of one-on-one roleplay in private with them. When in multi-person scenes, they will deliberately alienate the target’s other friends either by acting out, attacking them, or intentionally making RP awkward or impossible for everyone but their target. Gaslighting starts. They may complain the target’s friends are “mean” or “jealous” and attempt to instigate arguments where the target will feel the need to defend them and further alienate their friends. Lavishing with gifts continues in this phase.

Devalue: when their target is cut off from everyone else, the honeymoon ends. Gaslighting ramps up massively. They still want to roleplay with the target, but the target suddenly can’t seem to do anything right.  The target’s self-esteem is systematically degraded. Plots revolve increasingly around the abuser’s character with the target’s being an expendable, breakable prop. They attempt to push their target into roleplay they don’t enjoy or are actively afraid of, and respond to objections or refusals with manipulative behavior like crying, insults, or threatening abandonment.  In extreme cases, the abuser may feign self-harm or suicidal impulses and present them to the target as the target’s fault, i.e. “LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO.”  Gifts only come as “makeup” presents after a fight and are generally presented in public so that all seems well to anyone not involved. They are now the target’s only major roleplay partner and use that as a weapon. 

Discard: the abuser finds a new idol. Gaslighting hits maximum, convincing the target that they’re the reason the abuser doesn’t want to play with them anymore and that no one will ever want to play with them. Finally, they drop their current target and ignore them or harass them, often resorting to scorched-earth tactics and spreading rumors to make sure their victim has difficulty reconnecting with others. The target and their character are usually badly damaged, possibly irreparably.

Abusive roleplayers like this usually leave a trail of shattered guilds and broken people behind and often move games or servers when chasing a new target. Due to their habit of giving gifts in public and abusing in private, they may even have a good reputation in the community and staunch defenders (especially if they’re well-known for their writing, art, or crafts). 

In other words, good fucking luck catching them before they hurt someone.

Since this kind of abuse is hard to see from the inside until it’s already too late, the biggest thing you can do is watch out for your friends and guildies.  We’re all weirdos here, and we need to keep each other safe.  If you feel like somebody’s new RP partner is trying to separate them from their support system, don’t be afraid to speak up.  I don’t care if they write like the next Hemingway or their art appears to have been shat right out of Da Vinci’s asshole, they don’t get a pass.

If you feel like or know that this type of abuse is happening to you, remember that no plot or friendship is worth your mental health.  Walk away if you can, get someone you trust to help you if you can’t (yes, even the old friends you told to fuck off and leave you alone - they probably have a strong suspicion of why).  Take screenshots or chatlogs so you have some defense against gaslighting or malicious rumors.  You’re not alone, no matter what they tell you.

I don’t know if it even matters if I say anything here. But this really hits home. It’s taking me a lot to even say things out of tags. I don’t like coining what I’ve gone through as abuse. Mostly because I don’t think I deserve to call it that, and because the person I knew may still be watching. And thoughts like that scare me so much. 

Anyway, I’d just like to say that, if you’re going through something like this. If someone roleplays with you and you feel drained. You feel depressed, alone, you feel like you can’t do anything. If this person who you care for, makes you feel like you want to die. You have to leave. 

I’m not saying do so immediately. Maybe you can’t. And I understand. I’ve been there. But, I just don’t want to see the things that happened to me, hurt other people. We’ve all heard this before. I just have a hope that this message would reach someone who really needs it. 

So to those who are looking for an escape from their situation, I’m with you. I’ll always be with you. Please stay safe, because I don’t want you to be hurt. And I’m sure other people feel just the same about you.

I’ve seen this happen more times than I want to think about, and just am stuck thinking of someone I know, who had two of her friends basically run this cycle on her constantly whenever she seemed happy with dating a specific person. It honestly took her ten years to figure out that they were unhealthy to be around.
