Damn. You ever like something morally neutral at worst on your own time, be completely disconnected from Fandoms in general, then stumble across the youtube sphere of it all and find out the fanbase seems to be majority chuds and fash-leaning conservatives screaming the most ironic shit in a completely serious manner?
It's The Elder Scrolls, particularly Morrowind. Morrowind, one of the most politically themed games of all time that has you doing Actual Literal Politics as like, 70 percent of the main quest, has fans who scream that politics shouldn't be in games the moment they see someone who isn't Male Presenting and has a darker "Realistic" skin tone than a glass of milk.
This could just be a poor representation of the fanbase after watching Patrician TV's 12 hour "Quick retrospective" shoved me into the conservative Elder Scrolls fan pipeline on Youtube, though. Anyone know any Elder Scrolls content creators that aren't... Gestures vaguely Like That?
