I think, hmm, I think what people understand when theyâre interested in an EVE ethnicity but overlook when theyâre not is that having lore about an individual member of an ethnicity is not the same as having lore about an entire ethnicity. Intaki roleplayers seem to understand that while some conclusions can be drawn from President Foiritan about broader Intaki lore, lore about Foiritan himself is not immediately Intaki lore. So when the elections happen, and the Federation has a bunch of detailed lore crop up about a bunch of interesting candidates with policy discussions, that can look like itâs catering to a wide selection (weâve had Mannar, Minmatar, Jin-Mei, and Caldari candidates, all with several articles each dedicated to them and their stances) it feels shallow to the people who immerse themselves in those subdivisions.
Thatâs not a problem, say, the Caldari have, where I think sometimes people forget the Deteis and the Civire distinction. Of course, the lore also suggests thatâs more of an outlook thing, too. But then you get into the fact only three of the Big 8 actually have personalities, when the Big 8 are supposed to stand in for that.
There is a lot of good ethnic Gallente lore on the fiction portal, and definitely more than other Federation identities. For some reason, itâs not very integrated in game or in news articles? But thatâs a separate issue, and that issue plagues every faction, I think.
