Blessed SIblings: Okay what's the problem with this? Even if this IS a direct jab at irl eugenics nazi or otherwise, so what? What exactly is the problem with this being included? We've seen a ton of genetic tinkering gone wrong with the Allagans too for years etc anyway.

Pelu Pelu: If you're the one seeing a culture focused on trade and profit and jump to 'oh these are the fantasy Jews' maybe that says more about you than the writers here.

Yok-Huy: For one thing, their defeat was because of disease specifically and not poor planning with winter supplies etc. If anything this brings to mind for me natives and colonists suffering from the diseases of the others when people started coming to the Americas, or even the War of the Worlds aliens, more so than it makes me think of nazi invasion of Russia. I think this is a big stretch.

Food: The food was 'bad' in living memory because only the memory people could taste it. Not because it was inherently 'bad.' We were just incapable of tasting it. It wasn't a 'white people food bad' thing. I could maybe see your point with Sharlayan which had notoriously bad food but nothing in DT.

White people: MOST CHARACTERS IN THE GAME INCLUDING THE SCIONS AND THE WOL PLACEHOLDER are either vaguely 'white people' or fantasy races like Hrothgar Mamool Ja etc. You have your exceptions like Raubahn and Gerolt of course. On top of that Alexandria was a vaguely European based civilization in its past, though Solution 9 is now overtly futuristic sci fi that was their origins. Yeah, a lot of the npcs there ARE going to be white. And if they weren't you'd have people along this line complaining about all the non white people in Europe anyway. Furthermore, you're forgetting the context of what Living Memory is. Their culture, their people, their civilization and history, LIVE ON in Solution 9 and Heritage Found. We didn't wipe out the white people. We just turned off the unsustainable digital afterlife.

Every single point of yours was either reading way too much into things looking for something to be upset about or completly ignoring the context of the game world.
