I jumped on the bandwagon when the game got popular and recently finished Heavensward. I'm not going to go into spoilers, but the game has some of the worst politics I've ever seen in a videogame. I didn't expect anything good, but jfc it was so much worse than I imagined, especially the first part, ARR.
Anyway, I don't want to spoil anything for people who might want to try it out, but I have to share my pain with someone or my head will explode. I didn't know if I should post it here or on the dunk tank, but it's a screenshot from a videogame, so I settled on this community.
I present to you: the worst take of all times. For context, that's basically the protagonist and the leader of the organization that tries to pretent world ending events. And if anyone thinks that just means killing monsters, they also overthrow corrupt kings and fight evil empires. In the most liberal way possible, it's insufferable.
The part when

Emperor Galvus calls the Eorzean Alliance a bunch of hypocrites for preaching freedom while being colonizers, calls the peace treaty at the end of Heavensward "easy when you kill all who oppose you", and points out that all you did for Doma was swap one group of nobles for a different one
was so good! I almost wanted an option for the WoL to defect, if not for the fact that the person saying it was literally an emperor.
