Elder Scrolls is literally the least "fash" fantasy out there. Yes, I am a huge fucking nerd, no I am not white, I'll see you in the comments mother fucker, I KNOW THE LORE! FIGHT ME!

    I agree that a lot of modern fantasy is WoT-inspired, but WoT is very clearly Tolkien-inspired, so this seems like a distinction without a difference to me.

    And I say this as someone who found LotR quite boring and its characters wooden. (The Hobbit was good, though.)

    EDIT: To be clear, I actually agree with your overall take, and I wouldn't really call LotR fascist anyway.
