Media Literacy Cucks don't comprehend Dragon Age Universe lore and in universe politics :marseyretard2: :marseystroke: :marseyretard3: :marseybrainletclapping: :marseycrayoneater: :marseywingcuck: :marseywingcuck: :marseywingcuck: :marseywingcuck:

The strags of /r/DragonAge deleted a very dramatic thread and I CAN'T FIND IT, because I was browsing on another PC :marseyrage: :marseyrage: :marseyrage: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy:

Anyways I'm turning this into a rant post.

You guys ever get tired of these /r/GaymingCircleJerk leftoid fricks who reiterate and regurgitate the constant mEDIA lITERACY talking point about how the in-universe of a media supports THEIR particular brand of modern contemporary PRESSENTISM views? :marseybeanannoyed: :marseybeanannoyed: :marseybeanannoyed:

You know the types - well over the past year since the Dragon Age FAILGUARD :marseyaware: slapfights, a lot of liberal peeps have been denouncing the originator of the series (DA Origins 2009) to make Veilguard seem less shitty in retroactive comparison, especially in terms of writing and in-universe political lore.


And one constant :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: :marseytrollcrazy: r-sluration they continued to spout was that apparently that they could not figure of what precisely the game (DA Origins 2009) was trying to say in terms of it's political commentary.

An example is even way back when, when Zero Punctuation guy stated in his video from like 10 years ago, he could not grasp "wtf the game was trying to say politically"

as in all of these shitlibs could not comprehend what the political message was trying be!


Because in-universe for the ignorant, magic users (mages) live a double-edged life. Magic comes at a cost, basically mages are connected to an ethereal dream dimension called the Fade, from which they draw their power, and in-universe mages are very very powerful. But stupid or poorly disciplined or foolish mages can easily be possessed by entities from this dream dimension and lose their minds,

and basically become rogue school shooters with flamethrowers and rocket launchers attached to their arms, and completely devastate communities, causing mass shooting casaulties in the hundreds before being taken down by Dark Age police. Because of this, mages are feared and ostracized, and kidnapped when they show magic attunement during their adolescence, and forced to live their lives in these Wizard Tower prisons their whole lives. Except when the lord of the land conscripts their talents to flamethrower fantasy orc zombies every decade or so

Point is this grimdark gimmick, makes being a very power magic user in-universe, just as much of a massive bane as a boon, and the whole setting and its medieval in-universe morality and politics are shaped by this.

You as the player character can shape the world into adhering to this Wizard Tower Prison doctrine for the safety of the community or advocate for freedom and other boring shit for the school shooter mages.


But of course shitlibs are so neurodivergent, they are like: WHO IS THIS GAME REFERRING TO? The gays, the jews or the blacks? :marseyconfused: :marseyhmm: :marseyhmmm: :marseyconfused2:

They are too foidbrained to realize that all of the fake fiction morality and politics are unique and explicitly not dependent upon real world events. They take inspiration from history, but create their own unique in-universe setting.

The amount of midwits and Medea Literacycels who endlessly type how confused they are about Elf ghettos and what the games are trying to say is funny.


It reminds me also of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, and the 3hour philosophy Youtube videos and reddit sneeds about how the fake fictional in-universe factions and their unique moralities TOTALLY supports their modern contemporary commie beliefs.

It's ironic that they espouse the Media Literacy meme so much :smugjak: :smugjak: :smugjak: and then display their confusion at fictionalized factions and fake in-universe moralities and moral conflicts.

It's like they have something like Reverse-Media-Literacy-Illiteracy or whatever. Like they are incapable of interpreting new complex questions and moral conundrums posed to them (by vidya slop standards) by new unique settings which do not adhere to the secular religious doctrines of modern Presentism Shitlibery.

It's like they are like :soycry: :soycry: :soycry: OMG WHO IS THE GOOD GUY AND BAD GUY :soycry: :soycry: :soycry: whenever they are confronted with fantasy morality that isn't turbo wingcuck propaganda

:soymad: :soymad: :soymad:"My PRESENTISM Youtube Philosophy Tuber hasn't spoken about how Crapitalism is evil about this shooter game yet! HOW am i supposed to know who to vie for!?" :soymad: :soymad: :soymad:

As in they literally cannot comprehend fictional moral complexity OUTSIDE of the framework of their current contemporary modern day shitlib doctrines

I've fricking seen r-slurs be like :soycry: "I don't understand what Ursula Leguin was saying in Left Hand of Darkness" cuz they cannot shoehorn their Presentism into the unique worldbuilding of a Novel written 60 years ago.


:marseylaying: :marseylaying: :marseylaying: !bookworms what do YOU :directlypointingsoyjak: guys think of this

"wtf the game was trying to say politically"

:marseylaugh: :marseylaugh: :marseylaugh:

I legit burst out laughing until I had a coughing fit. It's a video game about a bunch of gay-butt elves waving around magic wands and shit and they're treating it like it's John Locke's Two Treatises of Government.

These tards who need to turn everything into politics are kind of mystifying to me. I guess it's like how a normal person wants to be part of something bigger than themself. But these people don't even have any sense of self, so all they can do is try to grasp onto something bigger. It's like being a radical Islamist except without at least having some balls.

The only writer I know of who really could use games to take on any complex issues was Chris Avellone, and they cancelled him. Last I heard he'd won his lawsuit so he's probably retired and living off his settlement money now.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

Having been alive and actually aware of wtf was going on in the 1990s when this setting was developed: Nothing in this has anything to do with zoomer or late millenial ideas of politics. It was just a completely different world and you can't fit into a 2020s mold. The closest thing to zoomer politics you'll find is Damsel and even there it would be a mistake to take the comparison too far. She's an annoying punk rock girl of a type that's much more a left-over from the 1980s than a precursor to the LGBTQIA+ polycule "communists" of today.

Yeah that's the point, the writers for bloodlines made complete original faction and ideological rivalries unique to that universe and wingcucks tries of to fit that Framework onto our real world when the writers of these types of media explicitly go out of their way to have no real world connections in order to foster originality

And wingcucks have their brains 🧠🧠🧠 go haywire cuz they can't find and obvious reference or comparison to real world contemporary sentiments

especially fricking fiction written decades ago which had other cultural conflicts like Left hand of Darkness

The characters in VtM: Bloodlines feel real because they have personality traits that remind you of real people you know. Wingcucks don't know people with personalities so they're lost if they can't make it political.

This game has goated voice lines. They should honestly just cancel the new one and remake the original. That and Arcanum. :daydream:

They also can't imagine a work having themes about like love, duty, sacrifice, compassion, etc. They just think themes are politics.

I guess 2 people thought it was clever or something? :marseyshrug:

When I save my own comments it's usually just when I intend to expand on it later and turn it into a post. But I never end up doing that.

Its a lot like starship troopers, just a complete denial of whatever orignial content was for someone to write a 100% seetheplay about their strawmans so transparent it actually makes the fascists look cool. A lot of liberal media is like this.

I have another point on M night shamalayns The Village which was designed specifcally to mock elitest liberals while flying over their heads

I think part of it is that they're insecure about only consuming slop. They want to be serious literature people or whatever but they never sit down and read serious literature.

So they try and argue that actually Elf Booty Simulator 5 is very serious and is filled with big boy political themes. :soyjakanimeglasses:
