it's important to remember that art doesn't always correlate to situations in real life and if you are always trying to make those connections you will lose a lot of the nuance and unique details of the story/ characters, on top of making yourself very, very miserable (as someone who used to do this, it destroyed my mental health for several years and it's not a path i will ever encourage you to go down bc it's neither radical, nor revolutionary, nor productive, it's just you self flagellating trying desperately to look like a Good Person to people you don't even know)
#i just saw someone say the dalish are “indigenous coded” and like...#baby this is not US politics in 2024 this is dragon age there ARE NO native americans or africans or europeans or japanese people in thedas#hate 2 break it to u but “everything is political” takes are soooo tumblr 2015 and sooo lukewarm#we have grown up a lot since then#let's broaden our perspectives#not everything needs to be politicized and deconstructed for ethical fractures#let fantasy be fantasy i promise you are still a good person in real life if you don't make correlations that aren't there in fantasy art
