#oh and feel free to add on other discourse you've seen in tesblr

[daggerfall]

just wanted to put this out there to someone: after a week in the dragon age side of tumblr I desperately want to claw my eyes out at the insanity there, a few hours in TESblr and I’m instantly healed, my crops are flourishing, little to no discourse. TES is certified wholesome and incorruptible and has better lore anyway, thank you

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

list of shit i have seen in the skyrim/tes/the elder scrolls tags

hundreds of big tiddy mod screenshots, some that passed the tiddy prohibition ban, many that did not. various levels of “that is not an adult appearing character” and “that is hardcore porn”

a mod of a lady getting fucked by a falmer

so many instances of dragonfucking erotica

yandere fics bordering on ra///pe

discourse i have seen via people i follow or other popular tes bloggers

forsworn as native american comparisons

comparison of thalmor and stormcloaks to nazis

people being yelled at for not understanding talos lore (which is literally the weirdest goddamn shit that barely anyone even IN tesblr understands)

argonians reverse invading oblivion compared to varies real life wars

so much goddamn astrid discourse (partially instigated by me, and i WILL restart it at a moments notice, just so you know im not innocent in this either)

people trying to actually debate the morality of an assassination guild

serious “skyrim belongs to the ______” debates

people defending the dunmer having slaves because “they have strong cultural ties to family” and that makes them no longer literally slavers first and foremost

ysgramor apologists

bellamont apologists/sympathizers

thalmor sympathizers 

people who want to fuck the thalmor 

the astrid discourse again

the bisexual/playersexual debate regarding how you as the player can marry people regardless of gender, yet you can be the only same sex couple in the entire skyrim game (not counting the dead couple on solstheim, and recognizing that eso is better in representation that skyrim). granted i started this, but in response to someone claiming it was good bisexual representation.

People who act like any criticism of almalexia is misogyny

big tiddy mod discourse

and so, so much more shit, in less than a YEAR of me having this blog.

clearly you're not looking that deep and weren’t around for the days of “Screenshots Of Orc Women With Giant Boobs And Dicks”. im not defending to dragon age fandom, considering people are STILL having anders-discourse to this goddamn DAY, but i havent had nearly as many issues with the dragon age fandom as i have had with tesblr. granted with dragon age, i keep to a small trusted group of people i follow who dont engage in discourse and whose beliefs align with mine, and i dont go seeking out discourse-y character’s tags, and i only go into the tags like once every two weeks really. plus i dont have a dragon age sideblog, but i do post a good amount of it to my main (which is literally a dragon age url)

and really? the lore thing? both tes and dragon age got fucked up lore. at least dragon age doesn’t have three dudes in a trenchcoat mantling the god who made the universe and who then ascended to godhood themselves, oh and literally no one in the universe knows, but we as the player get to despite it having ZERO IMPACT EVER on in-game play. no we just get to date the elvhen trickster god and give him fade tongue.
