skyrim really does show you a bunch of indigenous people who faced genocide and are like "that's why they're eeeeevil, now go on and kill them" instead of actually sympathizing with them huh.

Well at least there are definitely no real world implications to deal with *I say knowingly*

#Wow I can't even tell the writers are mostly white Americans #Idk I don't wanna be mean I genuinely like elder scrolls lore often?#But also just. It's often not just bad but deeply fucked up if you put any thought into it(#Like morrowind is like 'the empire deliberately tries to drain the wealth from morrowind and had laid claim to the lands most valuable shit #And then skyrim is like #Will u join the empire? (The colonizers who drain the wealth of their territories)#Or the stormcloaks (racists who worship the colonizer who conquered the everything and killed the everyone for the empire)#Hey wanna join this games equivalent of the fighters guild? (Who openly worship the guy who genocided the original people of skyrim)#Idk just like #If u wanna write a group like the forsworn consider the following: don't #Without presenting them as *not* savages who slaughter ppl indiscriminately they are always gonna be incredibly racist as a concept #Idk I'm just tired and mad
