idk how anyone can blindly glorify ishgard when the first dungeon of the expac shows you just how far the holy see's mistreatment of its people will go, ie you will be abandoned to your fate when the snow falls and be forced to cannibalize your own soldiers to survive - ThreadSky

You’re asking the community that lacks media literacy, to understand the nuances of the plot. 😂 But seriously, I don’t know why some rpers don’t recognize that Ishgard is a horrible place. It’s cool to roleplay something problematic, but at least understand it.

doubly so for leadership under it, considering yuhelmeric refused to give up his position at the dusk vigil and damned everyone under his leadership as a result

Sadly most people don't even pick up that dungeon or read the notes

bajamut-blast.bsky.social•9 days ago

yeah fair tbh

Shit is heartbreaking though, just reading the notes made me feel awful for everyone involved

My favourite part is when people act like all of Ishgard's systemic issues were magically solved when Thordan got deaded

Ishgard was one hell of a first time experience
I never wanted to assassinate the pope so bad

its crazy also bc the quest you get that glasses emote from states they keep Poor People in the basements of the ishgardian Vatican to act as oral historians for the parts of ishgardian history they do Not Want To Get Out so like. looks around

oh man the pages i could write about how ishgard used the people of the brume as literal and metaphorical meatshields/cannon fodder

i somehow fell into an isghard rp server that used my muse (who is a literal DRAGON) as a token to say "no we're nice look :)" and then go on an "we hate heretics" rant later

i notice that a lot of ishgard rp groups struggle to take draconic or brume characters seriously, beyond that of using them as tools to make fun of or berate for not being a noble char
