It seemed to me like some were saying you should just ignore people whose RP doesn't fit your head canon (because let's face it, the lore isn't always clear and sometimes it comes down to head canon) or RP in different style, which I thought was unfair. I wasn't trying to say that you should make yourself uncomfortable, not by any means, nor reduce yourself to a prop to stroke the ego of an "all powerful hero". I merely meant I won't outright reject someone for small lore conflicts or beginner's mistakes. Obviously if the RP is extremely OTT, ridiculous, or upsets me in some way (for example, grimdark RP can make me uncomfortable), then yes, choosing not to RP with them is certainly an option.
As for using the game's story in your RP, I don't actually include any of it myself but I can understand why a new RPer might. Again, I wouldn't completely write them off for it but perhaps respond with scepticism and explain why OOC. Now if their RP revolved around the story and had nothing else to it, well, that's a different problem. Choosing not to RP with someone who merely boasts about killing Titan all the time isn't unreasonable, no.
Sorry if I jumped to conclusions. I've just seen elitism destroy communities in the past and didn't want to see the same happen here.
Ehehe, you make a fair point though and it is probably the same opinion as my own. Although admittedly, if I could help it, I would likely avoid RP'ing with someone claiming to be a hero if I knew about it before they approached me out of sheer skepticism. I realise it is a bit presumptuous but I'd rather take the safe route and leave space open to others in the world that I may meet instead of closing off many roads and just accepting this one person as a hero and everyone else I meet as delusional or liars.
