What is with the constant mistreatment of the Garlean story?(6.1 Patch spoilers)

[Theodric]

Nope. It was you.

There's no link between what you're saying and what I said in the post in question. I was hardly taking offense, I simply identified something present in my own history and culture that I would enjoy seeing more of in a genre ordinarily more eager to make use of such tropes.

I'll leave it up to others to go and read the full context behind the exchange if they are inclined to do so. Whatever beef you have with me doesn't need to involve dragging multiple threads off topic, in my view.

Since we aren't talking about a real life event, nor something that can be replicated in real life, words like "murder" and "genocide" are invented by the players in order to create a moral rejection of an aspect of the story. The story itself never uses those words. The moral judgment (whether or not it's correct) is one completely fabricated by people of the audience.

If someone deliberately wipes out an entire race and culture, including from memory...then it is an act of genocide. The game doesn't need to explicitly use the term for it to be as such.
