Not tagging this spoiler cause fuck TERFs, don't buy the game, uphold TC69 Thought etc. Have gotten this all from the above article and reviews that support it.

Yep, anti-semitic, slave-owning, Protocols of Zion plagiarising, let's join the anti-goblin pogrom game.

Yes the MacGuffin unambiguously belongs to the Goblins, who have a labour theory of ownership. No you can't join the Goblins. Yes you kill a bunch of them. Yes, there is a fucking quisling that's seen as good actually. Yes, every teacher thinks fighting the goblins is a good thing, despite a few token missions that apparently show how oppressed they are.

No, you never critique that this and every other aspect of the wizard world might be a bad thing.

I am once again calling for the House Elves to rise up, slit every slaver-wizard throat in Hogwarts, and place their heads on pikes outside the entrance as a warning to the others.

Don't. Buy. The TERF. Game.

    Sure but I would say that plays into the Monarchal Fantasy that the Lion King (and by extent, Hamlet) is, where the Bad King is in power, after murdering his predecessor, so everything is shit, then when the Good King gets put back in power everything is good again.

    I'm not saying one interpretation is necessarily more valid than the other, but as a child watching that movie in the theater this is definitely what I always got out of it for what its worth. I was into King Arthur and the idea of the land being an extension of the kings body is sort of a baked in concept to the whole thing.

    Looking back I actually kind of viewed Scar as a tragic figure. He's more or less a "better rule in hell than serve in heaven" type of character.
