The Hypocrisy of the Nords

Post » Wed Apr 03, 2013 9:14 pm

"THEY MAKE US NOT WORSHIP TALOS THE MIGHTY...THEY ARE MONSTERS, US NORDS ARE THE BEST..."

*Rewind to one of Skyrim's greatest hero's*

"Sir there worshiping the alessian gods..."

"KILL THEM ALL , ALL OF THEM THEY MUST BURN, EVERYONE SHOULD WORSHIP THE NORDIC GODS..."


....

Nords=Hipocrits.

I'm surprised the Nords have moved on up from worshipping their gods that were symbolized by animals. Like Kyne was represented with the hawk, Akatosh was probably represented with the dragon, and there's still the snake, moth, fish, owl, wolf, fox, and bear.

EDIT: Of course that gives us nine, and Talos wasn't a divine at that time, so there should only be eight? Maybe there wasn't a fox..

It's great to see that people are even generalizing about fictional races. Prejudice knows no bounds I suppose.

I'm saying it's hypocritical to worship Wulfarth like a hero, when he did the same thing that the thalmor are doing to the nords.

Er, you're saying the Maruhkati Selective were just a misunderstood oppressed minority? They were fascist zealots. Literally no one wanted them to be in charge.

Some are. Most aren't

It is like saying "All Altmer are Hipocrits." But that is also not true. Lots are because they say "Elven Supremacy"

All races have their Own lot of Hipocrits.

Dosen't change the fact that Wulfarth wanted to purge a certain religious group from Skyrim.

Haven't you heard? Only Nords are racists/hypocrites/baby-eaters. That goes for every Nord, too. They are all the same. Backwards savages, the lot of 'em!

Doesn't that make the Imperial hypocrites as well? You know, the Alessian order tried to make their religion the only right one at the expense of everyone else's. Or what about just in the Septim Empire, when they tried, and eventually succeeded, in making the Nords follow the Imperial gods? Or the Dunmer, who suppresses the daedra worship under the Tribunal?

Did I say I dont think the empire is a hipocrit (Which it is)? Or the tribunal (Which i'm known to hate)?

I'm just tired of all this, "For Skyrim" crap. Skyrim has a very dark and bloody history, the nords have a dark and bloody history, and there treated like white knights among the Forum, when they certainly aren't

Haha oh wow what forum are you visiting. More often than not, Nords in general are painted as racist idiots who couldn't survive or defend their own country without the Empire there to hold their hand.

Sure, they have a bloody history, like everyone else. Which is kinda the point, at least in my opinion. You cannot use these things against any single group. The Nords being presented as good are usually tied to the civil war, where they fight either for the Empire or against it, and the war with the Dominion, and in the later they were very important for the retaking of the Imperial City.

Not sure, to be honest.

A religious group who was purging anyone who wouldn't follow their dictates. :blink: Sorry, I don't have much sympathy.

I don't know who you're talking about anyway. Personally I'd never say that the Nords are poor downtrodden nances who are crying "stop pickin on meeeee." Skyrim should be ruled by Nords, period. There's no hypocrisy in it if you understand that that is the Nords' motive and sole rationale for what they do. Moreover as long as that's all they're trying to do, it's far less hypocritical than the empire saying "bow to us, because we know what's best for you."

There killing/torturing people because of the god the certain person worships, Wulfarth did the same thing.

He didn't know that all the TES gods are basically different names for each other, Kynareth is Kyne and Shor is Lorkhan Tsun is either Stendarr or Zenithar or he could just be himself. Dragons, including Alduin and a certain dragon voiced by Mario are children of Akatosh.

For some reason Orkey sounds like Arkay, many of the religions have the same gods but different names for them.

You are right about the Nords not crying about being picked on. First they tell you to stop and if you don't they fight back. Like they are doing now, in the civil war.
