So what if I told you, what if I told you right, that framing Ganondorf as an "incarnation of hatred" without any strong narrative justification for his hatred apart from the idea that he was born that way is, in fact, a negative stereotype that is often associated with the vague concept of "average desert dwelling man in a piece of media", especially in recent times. It doesn't help that Ganondorf is also portrayed as someone that seeks complete annihilation and destruction of everything *without any reason apart from burning hatred* (he says he wants to be a king, why would he destroy the land he wishes to rule???). It really leans into the whole "they are bred to hate, they are bred to wish for the annihilation of civilized and decent countries that uphold peace and the rule of law, they want to turn our land into the same barren, backward wastelands they came from".
#ganonthots#this is why someone like him *needs* to be given attention when it comes to his writing#because these stereotypes are so ingrained into society#that to assume them and portray them in a character like him just feels natural at this point#i doubt its done with any malicious intent#but it is certainly done with a *yeah it makes sense* intent#and that's the issue#think of how now people still overwhelming want to hinge their arguments on hamas and their existence#in face of the overwhelming evidence of what is happening#desert dweller is default evil unless proven otherwise
