I hope the "What if Disco Elysium was about a witch finding her cat in the mountains" post never leaves the gaming discourse vernacular. It will never not be funny to me bc it's got all the Gamer Entitlement™ levels of CoD bros throwing hissy fits about "woke" shit but instead of being couched in far right reactionism it's the exact kind of "Kingdom of Conscience" style liberal outrage at anything with conviction and beliefs that DE waxed on about. Like even chuds who get mad that the game calls you out for being racist interact with the themes of DE better and understand them more than Cat Lady did.

fallout fans act like ghouls & ghoul racism are this purely fantasy concept. but. intentional or not. and it's both because we're talking about a core lore concept in the Fallout setting. ghouls vibe check people on their ability to tolerate physical abnormalities. and sort bigoted rumors from truth

super mutants. compel gamers to admit that their idea of scientific aspiration. and patriotic duty. is to commit mass murder. to eliminate a skin color. or a mental illness. and to admit. that they conflate unrelated groups of people. out of convenience. so they can kill more. just to be safe.

anyone know a good breakdown of the specific reactionary ideology that can be identified by these details—

white, neo-pagan, divine feminine, tradwife, antivax, anti public education (but also not private and not really homeschooling either), have as many babies as possible, millennial or younger, etc.

video essay, article, open to anything. Just looking for an educational material to explain what this particular kind of reactionary looks like & how cis white women are radicalized into it.

thats the thing thats missing from america-centric discussion of fascism: this shit is global. every country in “the west” is seeing the same rise of fascism in real time, all of it focused on murdering migrants. like giorgia meloni is campaigning to deport people to “migrant camps” in albania. last year the greek coast guard outright drowned a boat of 500 asylum seekers. and as that last post said im not dismissing the suffering of people within the US, i’m just saying its so supremely frustrating that every conversation is about the minutiae of american domestic policy and not the horrifying ultranationalist global trend scapegoating arabs and africans.

So y’all know the classic edge trope of “my blade cannot be sheathed until it has tasted blood”? What if a magic sword that has that requirement, except it’s sort of inverted. A sword that, instead of being inhabited by an evil spirit which once awakened cannot be lulled back to sleep except by blood sacrifice, was inhabited by a benevolent spirit who would not allow the sword to be drawn unless bloodshed were the only possible solution. A sword whose power could never be misused because it would only allow itself to be used in situations where it was justified. What about a Paladin who spends their entire journey fighting with a sheathed sword, incapacitating but never killing or maiming. The party believes that the Paladin has taken an oath of no killing, until they face the big villain. And it is in that moment, and that moment alone, that the sword will allow itself to be drawn.

Idk, this image set my mindwheels a-turning.

But do y’all see the vision?
