What problems?

Considering the whole ultima thule plot point completely contradicts the theme of the expansion. I’ve stated it many times but it’s true and it’s just not right lol.
How so?

Also, it’s arguable for your former point. Considering there’s always been some bias towards Hydaelyn, it would’ve been nice for once for there to be equality. Especially since they want to say time and time again not to judge a book by its cover. I’m still waiting for us to get some minions of the antagonists at any rate. Where’s our Emet,Hythlo,Zodiark,Elidibus minions hm? Seems there’s even some bias in regards to that. Venat gets hers for genociding the world, we should get some for the ascians then.
Not judging a book by its cover doesn't mean all books have to be treated the same. On the contrary, it means even if they get different treatment, you can still appreciate the book that lacks the "appreciation" that you think it deserves. Equality has nothing to do with whether or not you should judge a book by its cover.

I wasn't talking about the title. Venat was Azem too, and we are not Venat.

On the other hand, just because a portion of the community has a problem with the story doesn't mean everyone else should either.

And there is indeed such a thing as looking too deep into something that you can view something harmless to be an issue.

Eh, personally, I am not adamant that no one should die. I believe that's the writer's call to make, and they have made their choice. I do not agree that anyone has to die for the story to be "real," but I have no problem with anyone dying.

In Y'shtola's case it isn't the first or even second time, either.
Why are you ignoring the method by which the Ascians are using to bring back their dead? That completely differentiates it from what happened to us, and only enhances the fact that it's not their desire to bring back their dead that we have a problem with.
