And they’re like Heeyeyeyeyaa

What’s going on?

Talk, and listen. Say out loud the things that seem obvious.

If they ask “Are you mad at me?” tell them the truth. “I’m not, but we can talk and I can reassure you if you want”

They went 10-20 years being shut down, not allowed to say the truth, or having the truth be twisted and weaponized.

Imagine being lightly bitten by a dog once a month for 15 years, and suddenly you go out into the world and see a pitbull for the first time. It doesn’t matter if he’s the cuddliest, happiest, well trained boy, you’re going to be nervous when he gets up from his bed to go drink water.

In time, and with support and patience, people can learn not to be afraid every time the dog moves.

There’s a sequel, and I can’t express how happy I was that there was a sequel.

It’s not the least Iron thing to say. Even he said “Azula is crazy, and she needs to go down.”

Maybe not kill, but definitely take down and away from wider society to live in a dark, small place.

Bitten?! For having a a Draculan meal? A succulent Draculan meal?!

I know the post is a joke but it’s more like “somebody owns a helicopter rental business and they’re bitching about repairs on helicopters they themselves don’t pilot so they themselves aren’t in danger”

Same, but it’s all moms. Dope.

I feel bad for you, but I’m also on those roads and I feel bad for me. Please get glasses or polarizers or something.

You’re exactly right, it’s still the less terrible choice because it leaves an opportunity to fight back in the future. Rather than leave the empire to fall easily to the Aldmeri Dominion and Skyrim with less support, as well as Racist Ensalver Hold Leaders. Both suck.

Ideally you’d have the Dragonborn reunite Skyrim under the empire, challenge the High Queen for the position and defat, not kill, her, become high king, and then claim the position of Emperor of the empire (oh look, someone in the Dark Brotherhood killed the emperor) due to Divine Right of Dragon Blood, kick all Thalmor (not high elves) out of the empire, decree the illegality of Racism and Challenge anyone in Cyrodill to 'Disagree with me via combat. ’

But then we run into issues of “absolute power corrupts absolutely” and/or “what happens when Dragonborn no live no more”

Nah fam, racists are still racists. Religious oppression is definitely bad, but in the Skyrim scenario your choices are terrible. Support the Empire and oppress a religion, or support the Stormcloaks and condone the abuse and slavery of 3+ races.

I won’t choose religious persecution willingly, but I will always choose NOT putting abusive racists in power.
