    Neat, neither of you did what I asked.

    Do what I asked you please. You'll find it full of game lore. Mainly just quotes from the game about. Read it. Don't reply until you do. Third time is the charm.

    What are they meant to even be looking up there, you just seem to be pointing at a load of plagiarised lore without and reason and saying if they don't do was you demand they can't post

    I had asked the person I was originally talking to to read the section on the Empire, since there have been quite a few leaps about how other people view the Garleans in the setting and what we went up there to do.

    That is rather condescending telling people they have to read what you want before they can comment especially as you won't say what part they need to read.

    If you read the original comment you'd know what section I asked that person to read. I believe it's on page seven of this post. Sentai, didn't read that comment fully and just focused on the fact that its a tumblr link. The original person I gave the link to has not replied back, probably because they are reading it as I asked, maybe who knows.

    This is the link we were given:
    https://mirkemenagerie.tumblr.com/po...nagerie-update

    It leads to a home page where I had to navigate through numerous other sections to get to anything having to do with garlemald. But when I got there, theree were actually two entire separate sections on it. After clicking on the first of the two sections, I was greeted by what can only be described as a text wall longer than the distance from Etheirys to Ultima Thule. What part of this text wall do you want me to read? Which of the two sections is it even in? I'm not reading this entire text wall because Oatmeal of all people demands it. Paste what you want us to read, HERE.

    I don't think they're trying to brainwash people into anything.
    When the title for the Garlemald section is "The Sins of Garlemald" (keeping in mind that this is their ENTIRE section on Garlemald, not just what they did as an Empire), the bias there is obvious. Thus I'm not going to bother reading the source as the title has given a bad impression. I am not obligated to read a source if it gives a bad first impression. Oatmeal can show me the exact stuff he's referring to, but I'm not digging through it. If the creator is in fact not biased against certain in-game groups and just has bad titles, they need to work on said titles. However, from what I've heard from Senti so far, it seems like that's not the case.

    EDIT: So out of curiosity, I scrolled down to the very bottom of "The Sins of Garlemald: Fall of an Empire" and it's not even current for 6.0!!! IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ENDWALKER STUFF!!! How am I supposed to take this seriously when it's outdated information?! Oatmeal, try and find a CURRENT source next time.

    You need to read the whole thing as you know darn near nothing about the topic at hand. I would have specified if I wanted you to read a particular paragraph. Then again when I posted the link you jumped in and wanted nothing to do with it. Now all of a sudden you do? Read the section. then we can talk.

    What has Senti actually said about them other than "it is known"? Or does having an edgy signature and posting anime girl reaction images strengthen your credibility on the internet?

    The Garlean Empire was designed by the makers of the game to be bad guys. Does that mean they're biased against their own creation?

    You play as the "Warrior of Light" and fight against masked soldiers with strong fascist aesthetic, led by those who personally kill their own officers and order their army to shoot giant fantasy cannons at their own troops/bases, and who were set up by a literal shadowy figure with the specific goal to end the world. Are we supposed to tiptoe around words like "antagonist" or "villain" or "sins" because it might upset people from a fictional empire in a video game?
