    I ignore nothing! Not only do I have no idea whatsoever what could suddenly end up story-relevant, I love the fact that's true; you can legitimately read Hildibrand solely for worldbuilding notes, and find things that actually become relevant. Sometimes that means content you don't like has useful information, so I don't throw it away out of hand. (In fact, that's why I do Hildibrand; I don't find the comedy funny at all, but you learn things that'll become really important down the line.)

    That might be because I come from a roleplaying background, though; outside of concessions to allow for the fact we're all playing the same story, I find it's really important that everyone is on the same page about the common setting they're in. You can't just go 'I reject an entire expansion because I don't like it' unless you want to throw up a big unworkable wall between you and everyone else. That doesn't mean every character knows everything, but you as the players should generally be on the same page regarding out-of-character knowledge.

    My character's allowed to be fairly rejecting of the Ascians' whole deal--she's a primal researcher, to her they primarily exist as a dangerous cult that's also essentially the in-universe equivalent of nuclear arms dealers, she's not aware of Amaurot and the like. But when I'm RPing with others, we both recognize that yes, they do exist as the story depicts and our characters only have certain sides of that story.
