Are they just a We Wuz Wakanda cope race? All human races in the Elder Scrolls have a culture similar to their respective real life counterparts except Redguards. Black Africans have no rich history in being proficient swordsmen, pirates or sailors. Those qualities would more accurately be fit for Bretons second to the Akaviri
>>
>>724556317
No. They are moorish samurai. Sword singing is swinging a sword fast enough it cuts atoms and creates explosions, these fags walked sideways like John Lennon to infest Nirni.

Yea. The Thalmor are awfully silent when it comes to insulting Redguards but really colorful when it comes to Nords. Interesting ins't that?

Redguards are actually pretty cool. But they’re only really interesting when paired with Bretons, which is why Daggerfall was good and Redguard was not. Bretons themselves have a little more going for them, with witch covens and reachmen and whatnot, but are still much more interesting when Redguards are involved.

>Sword singing is swinging a sword fast enough it cuts atoms and creates explosions,
That's based on a retarded misreading of the term "atomos" (indivisible) as "atoms". Sword-singing is just another expression of the same sound-magic as the voice and dwemer tonal architecture, rewriting the rules of reality using sound. Specifically, Yokuda didn't fall because someone used a nuclear sword technique, it fell because someone cut the very concept of "Yokuda" with sword-singing.
>>
>>724557338
>are more african than arabic
They call themselves the alakir now anon. Al-Akhir is one of the 99 names of God, it is literally the last name of god in Islam.
Most of TES is actually about a god that goes by many names and it leads up to the final moment someone escapes his prison dream. The Al in Alduin is used the same way.

>>724557525
Fusion. Its why the Bretons are based on french instead of britons. Its why the khajiits are cats but also gypos. Its why the dunmer are grey indians to contrast their golden brahmin selves but appeal primarily to gopniki.
>>
>>724556698
>Yea. The Thalmor are awfully silent when it comes to insulting Redguards but really colorful when it comes to Nords. Interesting ins't that?
Because redguards aren't human in the same way that atmorans are. They are aliens from another kalpa and are philosophically closer to elves than humans.
>>
>>724557525
They probably thought
>"Hmm we need more diversity"
and put black people with Moorish backgrounds. The alternative was Black people with Sub-Saharan African culture which is notoriously insane and retarded and would've made Redguards the racist stereotype Bethesda was afraid of representing.
>>
>>724557673
Its both. The sword literally sings because it is cutting atoms.
Thu'um is a more direct version of what you are describing. What the Yokudans are doing is slightly different since it is letting the weapon become an extension of the self which uses the same mechanics as other CHIMshit.
These niggas canonically walked sideways because their snekgod told them how to escape their sinking continent. The continent was sinking because the Hoonding made a fucking atomic explosion.

>>724559197
Redguards don't hate Dunmer to any notorious degree. They hate Orcs, Bretons, Nords and after the lore developments in Skyrim, Altmer.
Besides, the Dunmer are basically the Mer equivalent to the Redguards in the sense that they're philosophically closer to Men than other Mer, so that guy's point wouldn't really apply in this case anyway.

I'm not OP. I am pointing out how you guys fail to see woke elements in older games. It's clear Kirkbride is a lefty with the "White Man's burden" complex and wanted to represent blacks in a good way instead of a realistic way because he knew that would be racially "problematic." Say or slur or don't, I don't give a fuck.

Berbers aren't arabs. They're linguistically and (to an extent) culturally their own thing. If they're arab just because they practice islam, speak arabic and wear turbans, then so are all the black africans in the sahel and the desert bits of West Africa.
>>
>>724564485
Only in the sense that they were enslaved a lot by the Dunmer but that's really all. Argonians are more like Aztecs when it comes architecture and Taoist/Buddhist when it comes to parts of their culture. If anything Khajiits are true "niggers" in the sense that they have zero self reflection and just see something like stealing as simply being smarter than others.
>>
>>724556317
Yeah. It's Kirkbride feeling white/half caste guilt and coming up with a way to make Black folx look cool so that he in return will be considered cool by niggers. That's not how it works, but that's how he imagined it. When Cyrus' voice actor said "u aight whiteboy", Kirkbride had a sissygasm. It was very common in the 90s and 00s for "creatives' to push this. It's very different from today's DEI and Finkbuxx, as it's simply a nerdy guy's perception of what a cool black guy is and is totally insensitive to real life niggas.

Argonian religion isn't Buddhist/Taoist in the slightest. Where the fuck did you even get that idea from? If anything that's literally the Khajiit, their religion is centered around living according to a specific set of rules and natural laws that lead to the best path possible dictated to them by a religious leader they believe is one guy reincarnating over and over again with a big emphasis on martial arts.
>>
>>724557338

Culturally Redguards are spun off of a mix of north african and middle eastern culture. Physically they definitely stray more towards sub-saharan african, even in older games. But I think translating fantasy races (even ones meant to be typical humans) to real-world ethnicities 1:1 is often a fool's errand. Bethesda will sadly ignore that last part and still ruin them in TES VI.

yeah they do, they're based on the Africans who live in northern Africa but in the desert. From Sudan to Morocco there are blacks who wear turbans and/or carry swords. Even today you don't become a man until you own your first sword in some of these cultures. This documentary probably follows such people, they still live like it's 2000~ years ago.

Orcs are the we wuz race of TES. Malacath says that they're beast closely related to ogres. Topal the pilot discovered orcs before Tamriel was settled by elves or humans. They just ran around naked and smashed each other's skulls before other races arrived.
Nords civilized the Bretons and after centuries of living on the outskirts of civilization, orcs started their cargo cult in Wrothgar. Later on they copied the Dunmer genesis mythos verbatim and just swapped some names, like Veloth -> Trinimac, and claimed that aykshually they wuz the real elves. They suck at their LARP so badly that Malacath calls them out on this bullshit and asks adventurers of other races to slap the orcs around, knock some sense into their beast heads.
>>
>>724566481
GEG
>>
>>724578001
Except that's not the case at all you fucking retard. The infamous Trinimac myth is of Dunmeri, not orcish origin. The Dunmer are the ones who claim that the Orcs are fallen elves, not the Orcs themselves. Among the Orcs, the Trinimac myth and the idea that they're fallen elves is a fringe cult followed only by "city orcs" under heavy influence from the other races that's looked down upon by traditional orcish society.

We also know as a matter of objective fact that it's true. Orcs have the same torso model as other Mer in Morrowind, and in Skyrim, Orc blood is needed to open the one dwemer mcguffin in that one Dawnguard quest together with the other types of Mer blood.

Based on what, those books being made first available in Morrowind? They were available in Vivec's forbidden library and from booksellers who had stuff from all over the world in stock. Not a single NPC acknowledges their contents, Dunmer being the authors is your headcanon or something you took straight from ESO fanfics.

>Orcs have the same torso model as other Mer in Morrowind
That's about the most retarded argument I've read in this shithole yet.
>in Skyrim, Orc blood is needed to open the one dwemer mcguffin in that one Dawnguard quest together with the other types of Mer blood.
You absolute retard. This is not a DLC quest, it's Herma Mora's daedric quest. Orc blood is not needed any more than actual elf blood. The whole quest is about Mora deliberately leading Signus to the box and refusing to tell him what's inside or how to open it just to drive him utterly insane and expose how little Signus actually knew. Signus THINKS that the mix of blood can substitute for Dwemer blood and sends the dragonborn on a largely pointless errand. Mora is impressed and decides it's time to discard Signus. Mora controlled the lockbox and its contents all along, he is the one who opens it.

literally the entirety of the elder scrolls lore community have held orsimer to be elves for the past 20 years buddy, you're the one going against the current here, trying to pin it on arthmoor's eccentricities is rather silly to say the least
by the way so have bethesda, i can tell you don't have a high opinion on ESO, but the trinimac-boethiah story is also treated as a factual thing that actually happened by malacath himself in the umbriel novels, and kirkbride has likewise never talked about it in a way that would suggest it is anything but the truth
>>
>>724582205
TES "community" is a bunch of self-hating whiteoid schizos who fetishize the beast races for the same reason that Kirkbride wanked to Black Panthers and made Cyrus. It's a group delusion reinforced by 20 years of repeating bullshit and indoctrinating people who either didn't play those games or blasted through them without paying attention to anything.
Malacath being a cursed version of Trinimac is one thing. An entire race of elves suddenly transforming into oversized goblins is the bullshit part for which there's zero evidence and some evidence to the contrary, including Malacath's quests. Orcs existed before elves even came to Tamriel and they probably picked up the Malacath worship somewhere along the way IF Malacath really is Trinimac and not a much older daedric prince that existed long before Trinimac.
