What REALLY gets me is the "Write Lore for the Dragon Above You" thread where some people just. Write some really breathtakingly bad stuff. And I'm not talking about bad grammar/short lore, because everyone has to start somewhere. Don't get me wrong, most of the posts in WLFTDAY are good and there are some super talented and generous people writing in there, but when it gets bad it gets pretty bad.

Like SirScalie who literally called another user's deity-colored dragon, in an ambassador tab, a "crude imitation of the Icewarden" that hates fire flight dragons. Even if they are a newer lore writer or user and not aware of the concept of flight ambassadors, it's wild to me that anyone would write that any dragon is a crude imitation of a deity unless they were specifically being insulting.

Likewise when Rayymond took a dragon whose parents were "a bit disappointed" in them for not pursuing the family business and instead turned it into "they were considered a failure by their parents and RAN AWAY because her parents hated and berated them."

AYRT I've only infrequently participated in that thread and haven't seen much in the way of issues. Both of them appear to be young and inexperienced. Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to ignorance.
