Seriously, your really not one. You play a fictional character in a game. Unless some con event or real life gaming event is going on, I've never seen a Hunter, Titan, Warlock just strolling down the road and even then it was real person dressed up as one. I mean Halloween is coming up, so every witch, werewolf, or vampire seen is real? I know it's fun to play make believe but some people take it too seriously. Thoughts.
Edit 1# Very clever response. I seen a few but this one is classic. Not really my point but I'm open to opinions despite what a few children that replied believe. As for you others, I thank you for really responding and having fun.

[quote]I agree to a certain extent, but my reasoning is why the hell do people call themselves Hunters, Warlocks and Titans when the vast majority of you play as all three? Lol.[/quote]
Edit #3.2 I'm off to bed. No not in my imaginary one on my ship or in the tower. A real bed where we actually sleep and if you're not a child, then you know what I mean when I say, I won't be sleeping right away. I have a real woman next to me that doesn't throw a rock on my map as I'm discussing important plans ;) Have a great time debating amongst the hive.... I mean yourselves. Damn it I almost fell into the darkness.

At long last someone cracked the code and understands not everything is so literal. Have fun people and enjoy life.
Final touch: From one of the most insightful gamers I had the pleasure of gaming with during my Socom days and tournament runs. By the way this was a kid too. Also, tags are not always needed so before #satire. Come on!

In real life you only get one chance and there is no restart button or 1ups. Make it count while it last. Enjoy it, have fun and more importantly don't take things so seriously. Happy Gaming All!

I think the general belief is that the classes you don't main are subhuman. As an ex-Defender Titan that plays PvP, I hate everyone.

Pretty sure I'm an exo, mate
-
Next your gonna tell me santa aint real.
-
Muted for being dumb
-
Cause saying I am a human who plays a hunter sounds dumb as shit.
-
Huh? I'm an exo
-
I don't think many people walk down the street saying I'm a titan, warlock, or hunter. In the right context, like on dedicated forums for instance, it is 100% reasonable to say I am a hunter, warlock, or titan. I've seen no examples of what you're complaining about that aren't justifiable.

No im a sheeple cause i believe whatever the news and destiny tells me to believe
-
Hey screw you I'm an exo
-
False. I'm also an exo and awoken.
-
You people!!!!?????!!!!
-
No, I'm an exo.

People are analyzing your words too much just because they don't want to own up to taking this game more seriously than their real life. I agree with you 100%. It could even extend to the whole class war turning into a racial debate now like we only exist in this world as our destiny characters. If one rotten person plays as a certain class, oh well that must totally mean every other person playing that class is exactly the same kind of person, right?

Edited by OldboyVicious: 10/16/2015 10:04:03 PMYou do realize that hunters titans and warlocks can be human, right? Those are classes not races. I get what you're saying though. Why would real people identify as being something that they aren't? The answer: laziness. "What class do you play as?" "I play as a hunter." "What are you?" "I'm a hunter." The second conversation, while not necessarily being accurate, (unless you're Ted Nugent... then you can say with full confidence and accuracy that you are a hunter) is just plain easier to say. When in a situation between people who have a mutually understood context, it is common for people to circumvent proper syntax because further clarification is unecessary. Example: (asked of a Destiny fireteam member) "What are you?" "Well there are several ways to define what I am. By species, I am a human. By trade, I am an accountant. I'm also a father and husband." "No I mean what do you play?" "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know what specific context you were referring to. I play Destiny, GTA 5, The Witcher 3, Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Angry Birds...' "That's not what I meant." "Oh I see... well, I play piano." And so on and so forth. That just seems silly now. When we are logged in to Destiny, or on a Destiny forum, we share a mutually understood context. The context is a fantasy space magic video game. So when someone says "What are you?" the answer is given within that context based on assumptions about what the most pertinent answer is in a given situation.

I identify as a quad-sexual exo warlock and you just triggered my dormant ptsd. Check your privilege you exo-phobic cis-scum.

No I'm a demon spawn from Satan himself. Please don't call dad Lucy. That's that shit he don't like.
-
I'm the Devil.
-
No I'm a exo
-
I'm a Nixon.

Regardless of class, most humans grasp the concept of your vs youre...
-
our character is the way we represent our selves in this game so it technically it is correct to call our selves what our character is

You do know you are on forums a game right?

*you're
