I think it's funny...
Note: I am not saying definitively that the photo of Xur selling Gjallarhorn was fake or real; I am just trying to point out something I think is funny:
-Images are posted of Xur selling everything in his currently available inventory, alongside Gjallarhorn.
---Destiny community is extremely skeptical; analyzed photographs under fotoforensics and similar sites to determine the validity of the images.
-Deej posts on Twitter "Please doubt all screenshots of screens."
---Destiny community immediately accepts this as undeniable proof that the images are fake and doesn't even second guess that he may simply be doing damage control, as he has done before COUGH COUGH Luke Smith COUGH COUGH
Again, I am not taking sides on this issue. I am simply pointing out the humor factor in this. Fans refuse to accept multiple photographs that could make Bungie / Destiny look bad, and dismisses them as fake. Yet, they accept a vague, non-committal tweet from Bungie's Community Manager as 100% truth with no reason to doubt his validity.
Ah, you guys crack me up.

1 ReplyI'm also not going to take a stance on whether it is fake or not, but the part I found freaking hilarious was the time stamp. The most common picture floating around was a screenshot of a Facebook post that included a time stamp at the top, which was the time the screenshot was taken. But everyone and their brother used that as proof it was a fake..."xur doesn't come at 55 minutes past the hour", or "that's not what time the reset happens". And suddenly everyone is an expert in photo analysis, using a website that states it's hard to determine if a photo that has been shared numerous times has been tampered with.

Guess its time to necro my own thread just minutes after it was made...
