Along with "We have a means of making this work RP wise". There is nothing for anyone to even criticize off of!
It's as ludicrous as critiquing someone for roleplaying as a Sultansworn. Just on the fact that they said they were a Sultansworn.
Eh, it doesn't take nearly as much suspension of disbelief to accept someone role-playing a Sultansworn as it does to accept someone portraying a character able to take down a named lore character (which is essentially what a Primal is, even with the angle of them being summoned more than once). The degree in which suspension of disbelief is required differs from concept to concept.Â
Plus if people can't handle any criticism then it may be wise for them to avoid latching onto a concept that is going to be seen as controversial if they're not willing to back it up. That's not to suggest that they're forced to accept anybody's opinion but at the same time they shouldn't be surprised when criticism emerges.
...and not to poke the hornet's nest but just because a particular event is well received by certain aspects of the community it doesn't mean it can't be subjected to critique. Popularity doesn't always equal something being amazing. There's players back in WoW who fawn over a player who declared herself the Queen of a nation that already has a monarch. She amassed many followers and stifles criticism through them at every turn. It doesn't mean her concept can't be criticised.
Should it be done tastefully? Sure, but like I said - we're just arguing semantics at this point.
