Sometimes I just need a shot of conflict in my life and nothing stirs it up like going on reddit and mildly critiquing the lore or text of any game ever made.

    Wait, how is that even a hot take? Last time I played Warframe I figured you were supposed to feel like an ambiguously evil space bandit. Isn't that the entire vibe they were going for? Sometimes you do good things but it's never because you feel like they're the right thing to do, it's because it benefits you directly, either financially or in terms of resources used to get stronger.

      I think the more generous interpretation is that you're supposed to be like knights errant or Robin Hood figures, saving people from the evil clone fascists and occult capitalists.

      But it don't really matter one way or another. To the folks who got mad, I wasn't just attacking Tenno, I was attacking them. People get attached to their game narratives because it's the one place they can still exert some agency, and I don't think a lot of people like grappling with questions of how they're using that agency.
