Hi my name is Eli and my favorite hobby is overanalyzing meaningless fiction
#posted an essay a while back on colonialist themes in skyrim lol
#and now that ive started playing again ive also been thinking about nord nationalism / racial supremacy
#is it meant as a metaphor for nationalism and racial supremacy in america? a subtle critique of it?
#or is it just a clueless port of those very ideals with no self awareness on the part of the people who included it
#OR maybe it was added with neutral intentions. just to enhance the realism of the game by including an unsavory aspect from real life?
#pretty sure its either the second or the third option
#because the text in the game doesnt inherently lead the player to think that the nords attitude is wrong
#so either they didnt realize it was a bad thing when they included it. or theyre trying to let you make your own opinions on it like irl
#also think about warrior cats sometimes
#specifically when the clans visit with the tribe of rushing water
#and jayfeather has to teach them how to clean their own wounds bc
#apparently this tribe of cats who has been surviving for longer than the clans even existed
#never learned how to clean their own wounds?? even though thats a natural instinct for cats??
#like one of them gets hurt and they just start putting the poultice on top of the dried blood
#and jayfeather is like you dumbasses you have to clean the wound first let me show you how
#and theyre all shocked that they can do that??
#thats some bullshit @ erin hunter
#was that supposed to be some gross metaphor about white people teaching aboriginal people to be 'civilized'?
#bc 1) it doesnt even make sense and 2) fuck you
#you CANNOT tell me that in the long long time that the tribe has been surviving on their own none of them ever cleaned their wounds
#when that is a natural instinct that all cats have
#ugh
