Sketches Of Dungeon Master Tango, Etho And A Full Drawing Of Demon Ren :)

Besties, I need help. Especially people who have a lot of reach on twitter.

Two of my friends had their Destiny names forcibly changed at the roughly the same time. Their Destiny names were "bisexual mara sov" and "trans king oryx." They just logged in and got a pop-up saying that for some "crossplay" reasons their names were changed to a default Guardian####. None of them are using crossplay. Both are on Steam only, if that's important.

One of them posted to Bungie forums and got this reply:

Both of my friends suspect that they were mass reported. Obviously falsely. Their names are not breaking any rules and are in fact canonical statements about the characters. They always play together so if some homophobe sees them, they would report both, so it would make sense why this happened to them at the same time, possibly (the other option is that there was a wave of forced name changes happening recently that caught them both, but for all intents and purposes, their names should not be subject to change).

This upset both of my friends quite a lot. It means there's enough homophobes out there falsely reporting their names. It's also upsetting to think that these reports were reviewed and then accepted. I genuinely don't think there was a manual review. If there was, I think everyone would like to know which rules this is breaking and why.

Another friend tried raising this issue on the official Destiny 2 reddit, but his thread was not approved by moderators because of "politics":

Thanks reddit! /s My friend also messaged the moderators, but to no avail.

The only thing that remains is trying to raise this issue with the community managers somehow, but clearly this isn't possible on reddit, so we want to try twitter. Unfortunately with the way twitter works, unless you have the reach, nobody will see it. One other friend literally made a twitter account for this to tag the Destiny 2 Team, but as expected her attempt has zero visibility. These are her two tweets. I'm not sure what would be better; to just boost this existing tweet or to make new tweets tagging Destiny 2 Team, but if anyone knows and thinks they could help, feel free to do either!

I don't expect much to happen, but I would like to at least try bringing some awareness to this because it's quite upsetting if homophobes can just mass report a completely innocent name, while absolutely gross names are allowed and visible every day in the game. It's also not a good look if these mass reports are acted on without review, and they are worse if they were acted on WITH review.

A lot of people have usernames that are about in-game characters; I think a lot of us would like to get some information on why these aren't allowed anymore. Both of my friends have had them for years.

Anyway, if anyone knows something they could do or has the ability to get this visible somehow, it would be appreciated!

i’d care if the person i reblogged this from vanished

"Id rather take my whiskey neat,"

is it hard to tell who i'm attracted to with the art i post

Lanternfam tiktok chaos:

Everyone in the house but especially Keli has been pavloved into getting tired whenever someone announces "night time sleepy socks". (It's either Simon or Hal who started it, I can't decide.)

leading to:

Jess, filming: night time sleepy socks!

Kyle, yawning so wide it breaks his face:

Simon, getting up to the bathroom to brush his teeth before bed:

Hal, Jo, and John, ex-military: *already asleep*

Guy: JESSICA IT IS FOUR IN THE AFTERNOON

oh i love this but i'd like to let you know that this came so completely out of left field that i sat and laughed at it for five minutes straight.

okay, so it totally originated as a Thing on like longer space missions. especially because most planets don't have the same rotational speed as earth so there's no consistent day-night cycle they can follow. the rest of them are complete messes of adults but keli has hope of living a semi-normal life (probably maybe possibly hopefully). hence, the set bedtimes and someone (as you said, most likely either simon or hal) saying 'night time sleepy socks' (where is that even FROM).

but again, they're all messes and sleep deprivation is a bitch. jet lag from space has to suck an inordinate amount so they start taking that phrase as a signal to wind down as well. a couple of weeks pass and boom. pavlov'd successfully.

no one realises this for another couple of weeks either. when guy says it as a joke, they turn and watch simon and jess yawn in perfect unison. hal's already conked the hell out. no one is horrified about this revelation until jess finally does it in a video.

the caption reveals so little. jess just mentions they've all been pavlov'd in the weirdest possible way and she says it, all chirpy like she would to keli. "Night time, sleepy socks!" the results are immediate and incredibly satisfactory.

kyle yawns a yawn that splits his entire face in two. it's like watching a snake eat but worse because somehow. he immediately flops over to pass out on the nearest thing.

simon gets up and when jess asks where he's going, he says he has to brush his teeth before bed. he's responsible like that. let me make it clear that the sun hasn't set yet. it's still bright outside. there is sunshine coming in through the windows. the blinds are up. and simon is going to brush his teeth before bed.

hal, jo and john being asleep immediately because they're ex-military is so fucking funny. they don't even think about it. jo's phone slips from her fingers, john tucks his head into his arms and hal collapses into an armchair and starts snoring. literal sleeper agents.

guy? guy is visibly fighting a yawn and the sudden and violent urge to throw jess out of the window. how the hell is he supposed to watch the goddamn game when he wants to fall asleep on the spot. he was supposed to cook today. what kind of role model would he be if he fell asleep over the stove.

this video only cements how fucking weird these people are. the viewers get no answers. jess has successfully become an internet cryptid. all is right in the world.
