#anyways back to work

I am not above admitting that sometimes I wander out of my little hole to see what other people are discussing in LoZ fandom because I get bored and I like to add unnecessary spice to my life. Anyways, on my most recent foray, I read a very interesting take, with OP being frustrated with those who would view Rauru as a villain and Ganondorf as a misunderstood hero. It started out fine, with the argument that any story that has a monarchy will have imperialism built in because we inherently understand monarchies to be imperialistic. They also argued that there is some grounds for critique in the games given that the Gerudo are often framed as enemies while Hylian monarchy is good. However, they then argued that it is not correct to to think that Rauru is an imperialist, or that Sonia and Rauru's idea of a kingdom is propaganda because it is not true for the context of the story. To assign any suspicion to Rauru's actions as a imperialist and a colonizer would mean that the writers put it in there intentionally, and that is assigning credit to the writers for writing something that they never intended. Thus, in the context of the story, you must accept that Rauru is wholly good, and instead turn your critique to the writers who wrote the story from the perspective that heavenly-ordained divine right to rule is a good thing. So uh. How do we critique the writers. Do we attack them personally, or should we critique that the story tries to explain that Rauru is a good imperialist while literally doing very little to justify his entitlement to the position of king of Hyrule? Maybe we should critique that the story is insisting that Ganondorf is evil, but does very little narrative work in making his evil something believable, especially when Rauru is insisting that he join his kingdom (or else)? Like I understand the argument of not assigning intention where it is not due, but if you want to argue that monarchy stories are based in the real life context of imperialism then you can't demand that people suspend their belief about everything that makes imperialism shitty and oppressive just because this fictional story decided that imperialism is good.

Love it when a typo gives you new ideas of things to write about. I just tried to type "heartwarming," but got "heartwarning" instead, and I am fascinated by the implications.

Is your defense really 'whataboutism'?

Not a defense, I am point out the double standards and hypocrisy of fans of this SPORT that are so eager to hate on Max for stuff that others also do and worse. But do you see essays about them? Do you see others jumping at the opportunity to join a big hate jerk circle so they can talk about how much they hate them? I have always said you can criticize Max/others, but if we're going to bring up history and say he's this piece of shit person and act like he is the ONLY one who has had issues, that's where I'm like yeah no. It's the acting like everyone else is SO morally correct with 0 history of problematic things that grinds on my nerves cause WHAT are people talking about lmao

having read Demian the way they delivered it's message in the game is top notch. the seek of the self is inglorious and shameful by nature, breaking established taboos within the confinements of our inner worlds and the moral/ethical expectations placed upon the self is extremely daring to the individual and the other. to rebel from the norm and hope for peace is but delusion and Sinclair's distress and naiveté over it was very nicely done and the "birth" from the egg as well

having the two worlds expressed by robotics and humans is very on the nose but effective in it's message. in Demian the "perfect" is seen as replacing the less savory parts of our inner selves for this idealized version of what it constitutes to be human via religion or other means, while the true "human self" is censored and part of another world overseen by Abraxas. still this "perfect" is a comfort, a safety net and an origin, it's hard to strip away from it willingly much less gently, what Sinclair goes through in the game is but much more brutal and i enjoyed the hell out of it i can't wait to see how Demian will pay off later down the road (i mean even Dante manages to see him?? I'm eye emoji at that)

now onto the chicken interval

The day everyone on this website accepts that 1) none of these men are morally pure in this morally corrupt sport, 2) none of them are actually in love or fucking each other so all ships are fake and nothing requires a superiority complex...that's when we may see normal behavior but until then !
