You know being a Native who enjoys video games is rough.

FFXIV has an antagonist who literally calls the player a "savage" and is one of the most thirsted over racist assholes in the community. I'm not saying a villain can't be racist, hell there's nothing I love more than kicking someone's ass after they use a racial slur against me. Though to be fair I doubt we'd ever hear anyone in any game use the N word outside of like, GTA where they almost never have it said by anyone who's not black, and never with a hard R. Not saying it's okay or anything mind you, but hearing it used in the way it's being reclaimed; by the people reclaiming it is a lot less harmful than having a blonde haired white man show up, call me a racial slur; and then decide "actually you're my friend and I love you and everyone in the community is going to thirst for my white man dick" while also having extremely racist depictions of Native clothing in the game that the player can wear, and that FFXIV players continue to refer to as "Ala Mhigan" even when that's a fictional race of people and Native Americans are very real, still alive; and having their culture constantly stolen, twisted, and mocked by video games...

Speaking of which don't even get me STARTED on Genshin Impact.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

in regards to the new gregor:

If you interact with my Native issues posts, I see you, I appreciate you; and you're a real one. I cannot tell you how sad it is to me that I can post anything about Gaza (which is important) and get tons of reblogs and shit; I can post anything about LGBT issues (which is also important) and get a ton of reblogs and comments and all that. I can post anything about Black issues, Genocide, Antisemitism, Ableism (you know, all important things to talk about and raise awareness for) and I'll come back to almost immediately like 30 - 50 notifications.

Then I say "hey you guys realize this shit is happening to Natives?" and it's SILENCE.

Nothing.

Maybe 1 - 5 notes.

Most of the time it's not reblogs.

Sometimes I even get anon hate telling me I'm wrong/selfish and need to shut up.

This is the state of being Native in a world that says "Down with Sexism, down with Racism, down with Genocide! Unless it's going to stop me from enjoying my extremely racist mobile games or MMOs that exploit my attachment to/dependency on waifuism... but I won't tolerate goblins that have stereotypes!"

Like I cannot tell you how much it sucks to see everyone lose their minds when Hogwarts Legacy came out and we were all on board with "hey these goblins, who are the main antagonist of the game; have Jewish stereotypes and that's wrong" but then it's silence and looking the other way when I go "The Genshin Devs literally referenced Native Americans for their main antagonists and fodder enemies." IT'S THE SAME THING.

Like what am I supposed to take away from that silence?

And worse over is every time I say this I get hate for it, I get yelled at about how others matter too. YES THEY DO, BUT SO DO WE. I'm not saying others don't matter, I'm saying we're never given the same fucking consideration!

"hey buttercream isnt that just the same guy like 7 times" yes. yes it is

“Living weapon” covers a lot and all of it is hot
