A rant: The Thalmor, and Altmer in general.

Hey party people,
A rant: The Thalmor, and Altmer in general, have got some goddamned nerve.
Imagine, okay. Imagine everything is gucci and all of the races are kind of just chilling and minding their business inbetween spurts of divine intervention warfare and spots of slavery, maybe one knucklehead pretending to be the Emperor for a while before he got his ass handed to him, when, suddenly, some yellow beanpoles form a whackadoodle racist manifest destiny shitstorm under the command of a mining robot from outer space to cause chaos in general just to overthrow and control the world because they're ScArEd oF hOw iT's bEiNg RuN and assume other races are too dumb to do their thang. Imagine sometimes, in the middle of sporadic bouts of bloodshed and political nonsense, something might go right for once, and said yellow beanpoles take credit to further their merit among what they think of as untermensch. Imagine they then instigate a civil war in Skyrim, which fulfills a prophecy that unleashes a fucking dragon that has one goal, the enslavement or destruction of the whole goddamned planet, then have the nerve to scratch their heads at why it all went down. Imagine that during this, they outlaw a hero-god under the guise of "he used to be mortal, so he doesn't count" when more than half their goddamned pantheon used to be mortal too, because they're still butthurt that they got their just desserts from said hero-god when he tried to get them to stop fucking with the one who got the Aedra to commit to creating their universe in the first place so they can all fucking exist at all (albeit for a vacation home of sorts but I'm sure we're all still grateful, even if it is Lorkhan's world and we're all just living in it).
You can't tell me Pelinal wasn't justified. I entirely wish he had more tact and not run his mouth so he could have finished the job (Khajiit notwithstanding obviously as they're kind of the airbag for the whole shenanigan should it crash and burn). Xanthic dagger-ears are trash and no one can convince me otherwise.
