  • What the actual fuck.

    This show is good. Its got a few issues on an objective level such as some dialouge and some of the fight choreography and adaptation level some of which really stands out because of how crazy accurate they have been with everything else.

    But the writing is mostly consistent, acting is on point. Visuals are mixed with amazing sets but the cgi is mostly fine and some character prosthetics dont look great.

    As far as Adaptions goes this might be one of the most accurate true to source material adaptations ever made putting it alongside the likes of The Lord of the rings. And easily the best anime LA adaptation to exist


  • “I don’t think it was designed by Larian intentionally to be antisemetic, no. Which I said in my first comment. It’s that the trope they used of the “hook-nosed witch” (and that steals babies!) has antisemitic roots. It’s just it’s so engrained in western culture most folks don’t realize at all where the image came from. I don’t at all think Larian did it maliciously or consciously.”

    Its a false conclusion to assume a commonly known ugly trait has only one source especially when other cultures that had no jewish cultural connections have similer concepts. A single charaicacture doesnt have a monopoly on character traits. Especially when mythology like the hag and witches existed before the jewish chararicture existed.

    “And as for where I expected the conversation to go, well, I don’t engage in conversations where someone is being aggressive or completely dismissive of another point of view. It’s a waste of time and I don’t fight with angry randos on the internet. I have better things to do.”

    Yeah thats fair im being fairly dismissive since i find the premise of the argument inherently ridiculous as the only way to come to this conclusion to cherry pick history and ignore everything else. This position is Commonly held by historical revisionists and grivence studies enthusiasts. To put it another way i view people who hold this position to be in the same league as flat earthers and alien conspiracy theorists.

    So you are correct to walk away.
