Hearing what it was like to write, shoot, and animate 'Baldur's Gate 3' definitely explains why the romances and intimate moments feel so real.

It did give me a good laugh with how uninformed its article is. And well given the source im not surprised that its perspective is extremely limited with that authors world view

    Ok, I can see continuing this conversation will go nowhere for either of us, so you have a nice day.

    Where did you want it to go? . Do you think that author was correct in thinking aunti eckel was designed to be anti semetic?

    I don’t think it was designed by Larian intentionally to be antisemetic, no. Which I said in my first comment. It’s that the trope they used of the “hook-nosed witch” (and that steals babies!) has antisemitic roots. It’s just it’s so engrained in western culture most folks don’t realize at all where the image came from. I don’t at all think Larian did it maliciously or consciously.

    And as for where I expected the conversation to go, well, I don’t engage in conversations where someone is being aggressive or completely dismissive of another point of view. It’s a waste of time and I don’t fight with angry randos on the internet. I have better things to do.

    Its a false conclusion to assume a commonly known ugly trait has only one source especially when other cultures that had no jewish cultural connections have similer concepts. A single charaicacture doesnt have a monopoly on character traits. Especially when mythology like the hag and witches existed before the jewish chararicture existed.

    "And as for where I expected the conversation to go, well, I don’t engage in conversations where someone is being aggressive or completely dismissive of another point of view. It’s a waste of time and I don’t fight with angry randos on the internet. I have better things to do."

    Yeah thats fair im being fairly dismissive since i find the premise of the argument inherently ridiculous as the only way to come to this conclusion to cherry pick history and ignore everything else. This position is Commonly held by historical revisionists and grivence studies enthusiasts. To put it another way i view people who hold this position to be in the same league as flat earthers and alien conspiracy theorists.

    So you are correct to walk away.
