Hey.

You have successfully made me have a full-blown existential breakdown with your statement that Tears of the Kingdom's story is imperialist propaganda, so thanks for that. But I have a question if you have the time.

From your posts, I can tell that you've finished the game. But I don't see anywhere that you've spoken on the post credit scene. So I have to ask, what did you think of it?

Before you answer, I'm going to try and predict what you will say: you were disgusted and horrified that the present-day sages (two of whom are children or at the very least minors) echoed the exact same "allegiance" speech, and Zelda accepted it with a smile.

Am I correct?

...Oh my god I totally forgot to talk about That Scene.

YEAH YOU FUCKING NAILED IT MY DUDE LMAOOO, I WAS SCREAMING IN DISGUST THE WHOLE TIME. The whole story had already been SO bad I really didn't think they could possibly make it worse at that point, I was just like what are we doing here, yeeting Mineru into the void? Fucking fantastic, still have no idea what she was even here to begin with, please go away now Mineral you have contributed nothing to this team or to this story - hey, what the fuck are you doing WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOP TALKING NO FUCK NO NO NO-

Like, I got to the whole ancient sages swearing loyalty to Rauru scene BEFORE I'd realized how fucked the game really was. I was still accepting the surface reading in good faith at that point! But that whole thing was enough to make me extremely grossed out, even accepting it at face value. So to have them repeat that clusterfuck at the end? Jesus christ, it was just the final kick in the dick to solidify my hatred of Zelda and her entire family. This is why I tried to drop her to her death at the end lmaooooo.

My Link is just, furiously building a guillotine in the background the whole time. I'm so done with this bitch.

Also like even putting aside the ethics of Tulin being a literal child (and possibly also Riju, unclear as to what age she is now), but jesus CHRIST, Riju and Sidon are literally the leaders of their people! They are the heads of state! WHY ARE THEY SWEARING ETERNAL SERVITUDE TO THE RULER OF A DIFFERENT COUNTRY. WHY IS ZELDA JUST ACCEPTING THIS AS SOMETHING SHE IS OWED. FUCKING DISGUSTING.

I expected the ending to be miserable, but this was so much worse than I was prepared for. What a final 'fuck you' to everyone that isn't a goddamn bootlicker.
