We don't have to like the things other people like. In fact, sometimes it's easier just to ignore them and retcon that shit later on. Even better, when someone talks about getting the gang together to "Slay the Leviathan" there's all SORTS of euphemisms that could be.
I don't play a Warrior of Light. I tend not to associate with those who do. And if someone I do associate with suddenly "outs" themselves? I'll be perfectly civil with them, and then find an excuse to dial back my interest in their canon.
I've said before that I see RP sort of like comic book titles. We're all writing in the FFXIV universe. Some of us are writing detective stories. Some of us are writing from the point of view of vendors, or barmaids. Some folks are waaaay into Cosmic Marvel. You get to pick and choose what you read, and when you find the "See Issue #616 of 'Amazing Warriors of Light'" you can choose to just ignore that tie-in.
