    improve-society "We should improve society somehow"

    Mary Sue Cocaine Battlemage climbing out of a well covered in filth: "Yet you participate in society, also nazis were just following orders, I'm very smart"

    No really, I haven't finished the book saga nor the main vidyagames but fucking Thronebreaker was the most braindead shit ever and it literally included "Nazis stand-ins were just following orders" in the ending scenes, despite having mentioned dozens of times how they genocided and enslaved the population they conquered and resettled the territories with own superior citizens. For fuck sakes, the end of the soviet union was an unlimited disaster for humanity, but before that handing polish "people" a nation-state was already a massive fuck up.

      Maybe it's more in the games but the nation state thing is jarring. Like there are Temerian patriots going around which is very weird in a mostly medieval setting. They should be serfs who have to give their lord the grain you-are-a-serf

      Also medieval special forces????

        I don't care about "anachronisms" cuz this is a fantasy, and that's okay. What I'm not okay is to shoehorn fucking nazi apologia, it's the bare fucking minimum.
