It was more along the lines of me saying something like "Hey, in Miqo'te culture, tribes and clans are different. Seekers have tribes/are tribal, while Keepers form clans."
The immediate response was "Clans and tribes are the same. Clan is just another word for tribe." I tried to inform them that, yes, the language for them is interchangeable but it's different in XIV and they just got very, very snippy lol then posted a passive-aggressive tumblr rant about how awful people are trying to correct their RP, which everyone immediately jumped up and started patting them on the back :p
There's a reason I rarely go to tumblr. The culture there is ass.
