I fucking love it when people call depictions of racism racist. It's like a confused child asking their parents if they're allowed to think about a thing and not just react with trained disgust. Also, I'm from shithole racist Mississippi and I can tell that this small child of a woman hasn't experienced hardship. How would I put those incredibly racist childhood memories to paper without this child passing judgement on me, the white narrator, rather than considering my story about race and error?

Nah, she's just another virtue signalling SJW looking for attention. Leave her to her cats and go play the game. That's what I'm going to do.

"STORMCLOACKS are RACIST" from a White Chick who never plays Skyrim and other ELDER scrolls, Meanwhile The Thalmors insults every RACE and Calls for ELVEN SUPREMACY😓

I really really hope that Bethesda doesn’t get scared by people like her. They are the vocal minority, most people want an interesting story that doesn’t shy away from difficult topics.

She is so wrong it’s embarrassing

I feel like aside from windhelm's racism, I think the so called racism is kinda justified. Imagine foreigners coming to your home and telling you who your are and aren't allowed to worship. How would you feel? Especially when you could be executed for doing such. I don't blame them. Fuck Rolf though lol.

Not gonna lie. I fucking hate people like this woman. What an absolute dipstick. She's trying to bash on the Nords, without understanding the simple fact that they hate MOST ELVES- not just the Dunmer..... They hate the yellow ones, they hate the blue/purple ones, they hate the small cannibal ones, they hate elves in general- but it isn't without reason. Their hatred steams from the Night of Tears- where one of the first human settlements, the Nords, found The Eye of Magnus while expanding further down in their settlement. This caused the local elves, the Chimer or snow elves to come in the middle of the night to massacre an entire settlement. Men, women and children met their end because they found The Eye of Magnus. This lead Ysgramor, a resident of Sarthal- the settlement that was attacked, to make his way back to Atmora. Where he would bring the 500 companions to lay waste to the elves that struck in the night. This lead to Ysgramor hating most elves, which the term elf actually encompasses Orcs, Bosmer (wood elves), Altmer (high elves), Dunmer (dark elves), the Dwemer (dwarves), the Ayleid (heartland high elves), the Chimer (snow elves and later the Falmer), etc.... Although, ACCORDING TO WHO YOU ASK (these are not my opinions on this) Khajiit and argonians are also in the Meri or elf group... Getting back to the point. Who is the real world equivalent supposed to be, since we are talking about colonialization here? I assume that, since she is talking about the Nords, the real world equivalent would be white people? So who would represent the real world equivalent of black people? The elves that slaughtered an entire settlement in the night?? That does not paint a good look for this woman and her opinion of people..... Or is she, perhaps, suggesting that the Redguards fills this role? If so, Nords do not seem to have any problems with Reguards- at all. In fact, look how Nazeem, a redguard in Whiterun, has somehow made his way up the political ladder and now looks down at most people.... He doesn't seem to be feeling the hate from Nords... This all comes down to some dumb klutz trying to paint something as something else for a virtue signal that isn't even applicable here.... Like the world of The Elder Scrolls is FULL of racism, funny enough, ALL the races have bad race relations with each other! The Dunmer enslave the Argonians and Khajiit..... actually the have a lot of slaves in general, now that I think about it. But the Highland Elves enslaved Humans and tortured them for generations, which lead to the Alessian uprising. The Dwemer blinding the Chimer and enslaving them. You get the point. Funny enough, Skyrim isn't even NEARLY the most racist game in the franchise- that rank goes to Morrowind, need I say more, N' Wah? But this woman needs to leave her agenda at the door, because this is the Elder Scrolls, and there is more than enough racism here without her bringing more into it.

this has to be satire, surely.

I would just like to point out that the Nords aren’t native to Skyrim… Snow elves and the Dwemer are native

A little bit Need way more though

"I’m a fan of the Skyrim games" no chance she just said that.😂 Not only is she completely incorrect when it comes to game lore, it shows she knows literally nothing about the Elder Scrolls. Don’t mess with our community stay in your own left lunatic ideology circle, your more then welcome to criticize and what not but don’t lie. Just makes you look like a Harris supporter and no one wants that.

storm cloaks Arnt indigenous they were absolutely colonizers in the lore. i don't think its racist but storm cloaks are definitely colonizers.

All the races in the game display some racism. It is debatable what race Talos even was and may have been three different men. Probably the most racist faction is the Thalmor as they view everyone inferior to them including other elves, even other altmer. It is just a game and we don't get to make decisons on a grander scale even though we know the backstory of the underside of the game as both sides of the civil war are being played by the Thalmor. We can't tell anyone that Torryg was considering joining Ulfric and he did worship Talos as well or Ulfric is a damaged man by his journal we can find that shows the Thalmor are playing both sides against each other. Just the same we can't argue facts with Delphine that the Greybeards don't want you to follow their ways because they worship Kyne while you are there under the guidance of Akatosh. The choice just isn't there. The game wants you to have shades of grey with most choices as that is how they roll with this game. In the end both sides have good points and bad. I believe that Ulfric's worst polices come from Galmor talking in his ear all day as that is his brother bulying the dark elves. Ulfric's father welcomed the Dark Elves with open arms and hospitality because of Red Mountain.

Do generally agree with what you had to say, a few points at which I dont though. Imo (and certainly for the causal player) the Thalmor are not present enough in persecuting Talos worship in the game world. Of course there are the interactions the player can have, but there is otherwise (and even including player interaction) little evidence of their persecution. It appears as a secondary element of the world rather than the central pillar of existing political conflict. Also, I do think there is "political discourse" in Skyrim (as you mention when talking about expectations). It would be incredibly difficult to build a compelling story which had no political content and further it would be very difficult to construct such a story which had no parallel (even vague) to the real world. It is, in my opinion, absurd to imagine Skyrim manages this. It does deal with political themes and that is fine. (At the very least, by your own admission, it deals with themes of race and religion both of which are highly political). (Also also genuinely interested as to what real parallels you mention at 6:25) Just to reiterate, enjoyed (and agreed with the majority of) the video thanks

These are the types of people why companies now don't take risk is narrative of video games and go safe. Because racism made Skyrim a lot more fun.

If you think Skyrim is rcist, then you haven't played Morrowind..

All i can do is laugh at those type of people 😂😂 it's just an insane delusional take to have without knowing anything. This is why LORE is important ladies and gentlemen

Thanks for you opinions on racism in a fantasy game, white woman wearing white sitting on plain white bed sheets in an undecorated white room

People like her are a massive problem in modern society. Get a job, ACTUALLY contribute to society. FFS

maybe thats why this woman seems so miserable as she seems so set in "pointing out the flaws in everything we enjoy". What a pessimistic uneducated take.

Yeah, some guy who was just good at fighting. He didn't have a gift from one god, and attain his own godhood through mantling the sphere of a dead god.

Her first piece of evidence just sounds more like a skill issue

Always has been 🔫

Oh look, another person offended by a game in 2024. Anyway

Some people’s kids.

As a morrowind fan Skyrim isn’t racist the nords are fighting the colonizers but not using farm tools for what their for

So, the fantasy genre (as a whole) has recently been grappling with it's connections to racism. No one is saying that that fantasy is inherently racist, or anyone who writes fantasy is, but the genre has predominantly pulled on human history for reference and when you look back at all human history: it's fraught with racism. As a result, many fictional fantasy writers dive face first into this topic as a cheap excuse to explore modern day politics. It's definitely a trope of the genre, and Skyrim is a great example of it. Skyrim- like many fantasy stories- doesn't handle it's racism particularly gracefully, it doesn't impact the story or gameplay, and there really is no point to it other than to somewhat halfheartedly justify a player picking the imperials and add a pretty shallow attempt at narrative/world depth (see: no impact on story or gameplay). All this said, the debate online right now is: if you're not going to have anything meaningful or nuanced to say about racism, why make people role play it? Just keep it out of your stories and stop using a messed up part of history as an excuse to sneak edge-lord racist content into your bad narrative to try to make them seem deeper than they are. I don't think this influencer is necessarily hitting on this point though, she seems to be glossing over that and just trying to put Skyrim on blast to an audience who've all already agreed about this online.

when that gender studies degree isn't landing you a job

Sad to say, this young lady screams tourist.

I don’t think the game on itself is racist. As a matter of fact you can roleplay the way you want. However you made a mistake as the nord are not even indigenous to Skyrim. The natives are the snowelves and to some extend the forsworns

Usually the first person to say "racist" is the actual racist. As I've always said, "The racists always reveal themselves." And the more people keep saying "racist" - when there is no case of it - the more they degrade the meaning. Eventually, everyone stops listening and that's going to be a problem when we have an actual case of racism occur one day. No one's going to come or listen. It's the "boy cried wolf" story.

What's her problem with white people? She's the racist 😂. Someone help her untwist her p@nties please. What's next ? She gonna call fallout racist cause you can't be a super mutant ?

To these white liberals who do nothing but complain: shut up no body gives a shit.

How did this girl get to the point of swearing fealty to Ulfric Stormcloak without clocking onto the fact that there's an assload of racism in the Stormcloaks? STORMCLOAK PLAYERS, SETTLE DOWN FOR A SECOND! I have more to say on the matter... Yes, there's racism in the Stormcloak ranks, AND you can still feel it's the better choice without being a villain worth verbal slaughter, because that's just their draw back. The Empire's main drawback is imperialism, because duh. The Stormcloaks have some incredibly kind and welcoming characters involved with them. The Empire has some incredibly racist and nasty characters involved with them. But over-all, the Stormcloaks lean heavy into the themes of being racist, and the Imperials lead heavy into the imperialism. If either side was entirely good, it wouldn't be much of a choice once you were clued in, would it? In fact, the entire game makes you choose what kind of butthole you want to lick, and nobody has washed their nethers in years. If you can't accept the drawback of your pick, I fear you may be missing something incredibly poignant and you should try to replay the quests under the impression you're making a flawed decision, but it's the best one you can make. Really changes how things hit you when you stop trying to validate your decision beyond that.

Skyrim isn't nearly as racist as Morrowind, in Morrowind they would legit call you slurs while fighting lmao. I think that as time has gone on, and Bethesda has gotten more lazy and risk averse, so too have they gotten less willing to portray fully fleshed out worlds, with all the good and bad that comes from that. Morrowind had a lot of racists, it had slavery and xenophobia, but that's part of what made it seem so real, while also being so alien. Skyrim on the other hand is really surface level, and Oblivion is downright generic, which is probably why the shivering isles is seen as the best thing about it.

Lmao tell me you've never played Skyrim without saying you've never played Skyrim, ok lady

Love how people always try to make the nords sound like white supremacist when elves that are far worse across the board exist in that world. Like if I had to rank them nords would be more towards the center of the rankings with high elves and dark elves fighting for 1st spot. The beast races hate each other with a passion lol. I completely agree with you I want more racism in elder scrolls games.

Racism? In my fantasy game? It's more likely than you think.

No it is NOT racist. The game portrays racism but does NOT promote it. There IS a difference you know.

idk man, only good looking white humans? have ya'll seen some of them argonian maids?🥵

She has no idea what the fuck she's talking about

Well the game has every right to be considering it has actually different races in which to fight amongst one another with. It's also fantasy so if you (the lady) are going to take it so close to heart. Don't. Dummy.

The redguards have different skin types just like any other "race" in Skyrim has you can basically build whoever you want

Unfortunately to a certain group of people, pretty much anything that their krazy-kommie-kult hasn’t officially deemed as “not ray-cyst,” they’ll cry that it’s wray-sis-um. And I’m not joking or exaggerating in the least when i refer to them as being in a cult. That is precisely what these Rae’s-is-mmm criers are involved in.

Well, the Nords are colonisers. They litterally colonised the lands of the Dwemer, Snow Elves, and Reachmen. Not to mention their historic empire.

6:11 I love that you made this point, as a black person. I'm sure it really does hold real life parallels because to go off on Skyrim about how it's racist just gives so much chronically online virtue signaling. And we all know the true nature of most of those virtue signalers.

I think it is rage bait, if so it's bury funny desu

Her first point is wild,”All the non-White races are ugly” like dude that says way more about you. She has to be baiting or a tourist fresh from the port cause “Skyrim games” lol.

So this does not apply to new people who never played a Far Cry game before. FC Primal and FC 6 problem is they do not seem like a Far Cry game. Well that means nothing if you did not play one game yet .

Better than most games ? Fallout 4 dlcs and 3 . Better than new vegas . Specially dead money I hate fhat shit
