@trogdor I still think this is likely a case of pareidolia / rorschach effect. (I think I am just as prone to seeing parallels that the author didn't put into a work too, but different ones.)
@vicky_molokh-unsilenceMonica Yes, and I was specifically saying that it was religion-mediated as a way to "make thing easy" for the ones who wanted him down.
again, most of what I saw of the first game was not even getting an elf character into the starting sequence because the described starting backstory was so brutal, and getting a mage pretty much exactly past the starting scenario only to drop the game after that in disgust
either way, the religiously motivated part of the whole process wasn't technically my biggest issue with the whole thing at the time, but it definitely wasn't a positive
I think I was too young at the time to have formed much of the core of my ideas on religion that I have up to this point
I wasn't completely unaware of religous persecution as a theory but I hadn't had any personal experience with it yet at the time either
@vicky_molokh-unsilenceMonica When the MLP fandom exploded and became a mass phenomenon, someone made an abridged version of a few episodes of the show under the name of Friendship is Witchcraft. I never watched any since I was not interested (the series being the usual "trash the characters someone else created" thing that I still despise - that is not fanwork, that is just abusing someone else work.)
@vicky_molokh-unsilenceMonica I don't know. As I said, never actually watched a single episode. I avoid fanworks that drastically change established characters in somehow offensive mockeries of themselves.
For one, FiW turns Spike into Twilight slave, Fluttershy into a satanism cult leader and so on.
No thanks.
Want to explore new "artistic directions"? Do that with your own characters.
@AndrasDeak That said,since you like searching, you could go hunting for who posted that embroidery picture here before I reposted it on Meta for the parrot.
