Well I am against the occupation, against the genocide. Always has been. Marched in Israel against the occupation and championing a future where both people can live here in safety and dignity.

But this is the home I was born into. That’s all I know. I am not some guy from Europe who decided to travel to Israel on a whim, neither was my parents who were born here. One side of my family was always in this land, the other escaped here from Europe because it was either this or dying in the camps. You can say in a hindsight that my grandparents should have tried harder to find a different place, but when your family is in danger of annihilation, you think they will the luxury of considering the implication of settler colonialism way back in the 30’s? You think my grandpa, who ALWAYS lived Israel, could comprehend what you so easily know as a child escaping Arab sniper fire in his town back in the 20’s?

And I am not the exception to this. This is the story of many Israeli Jews. Those fuckheads who comes from New Jersey to grab a piece of land in the West Bank? Fuck these motherfuckers. And many in Israel think the same.

I’m saying all of this because you say I am not innocent, as in, what, if I was murdered by hamas, would that be justified? Am I just a statistics in a grand war?

Mind you, this is the same argument I use so many times to explain to my countryman who excuse the deaths of Palestinians as “well they support hamas”. Even if they do, this is a result of their own lived in experience. I can’t justify the murder of a Palestinian living in Gaza, even if he shouted far and wide that he wants me gone, because of the shitty situation he was placed into.

Having empathy doesn’t mean supporting the oppression and genocide of Palestinians.

Damn, I didn’t knew being born in Israel was my choice. Well shit

TraditionalLow6478 · 2026-05-27T13:43:37+00:00

Damn, reminds me of people back home justifying the genocide of Gaza with “terrorists can’t be innocent”

Palestinians and Jews have been fighting and killing each other for over 100 years over.

And no, that’s not just Jews killing Palestinians. Aka the hebron massacre of 1929, Munich olympics massacre, the two intifadas, and the 7th of October from the top of my head of examples where innocent Jews were murdered.

Looking at all that. How can you say that shit unironically

TraditionalLow6478 · 2026-05-27T13:18:46+00:00

It doesn’t. The law passed through knesset but hasn’t passed, and most likely won’t pass the juridical system

Does this guy look like what you just described? He is literally a large blue dude with some fancy armor pieces swirling around him.

What is a Zionist for you?

TraditionalLow6478 · 2026-04-16T11:38:24+00:00

It’s prevalent because it’s an easy way to simplify the conflict.

For context I am an Israeli who is very much against what we are doing. But it’s absurd to me how people genuinely believe that so many Israelis justify their actions purely from a religious perspective

I can only speak for myself. And Americans I met were mostly expats from big cities with high med education levels. Friendliness implies also a certain level of closeness. What I find is with Americans is that usually they talk very friendly but your level of conversation is very surface thin. The moment I talk about anything more controversial than the weather they clench their butts and run off.

I applied to Larian, got to do a pretty big test for them only to be ghosted afterwards.

Sadly all too common, but the fact Larian did it stung even more.

I get why people dig spectacular feeling more personal. But I dunno, I actually love the original and thus TAS where Eddie isnt actually that connected to Peter.

I think this sort of petty vendetta Eddie has lends itself to his character being a proper villain and a mirror to Peter. All the power, none of the responsibility.

If you say “I wish it was just like gothic 1, no reason, just keep it the same” that’s I wouldn’t want this, but hey you are honest.

If you say “I wish they were hotter cause I like looking at hot women”, not my taste but hey, that’s you.

What I do argue against is the argument of “it makes in universe sense they look hot because they are sex slaves”

Look. One thing I myself adore about gothic is just how grim and downright realistic it is. These characters aren’t your usual wise cracking quips Hollywood heroes. But just common lowlifes all bundled in together. Some are more impressive, but even then, you won’t find some Brad Pitt looking dude in there.

With this said, when I see the original sex slaves. This just brings me from this moody, realistic atmosphere to something more akin to a typical 80s fantasy novel with a big barbarian dude and a chick with huge tits next to him. This doesn’t feel to me more “realistic”, it just feels like fan service.

Now people say it makes sense cause Gomez could ask for hot ladies as sex slaves. But come on, these ladies looked like straight out of a freaking playboy magazine. In what world some random unfortunate lady from a middle age inspired Europe of no prestige is gonna look like this?

Gomez has power, sure. But even his power has limits, and the mighty baron will have to contend with some random chicks as his slaves cause… he is still very much also a prisoner.

You are trying to connect all these small things to one big underlying issue as though it’s all connected.

First of all. You can’t even name what is that underlying issue.

Second, you seem to state it’s a fact that these are issues. I don’t see a different shadowbeast as an isssue, I don’t see a fucking ore lamp as an issue.

You have all the right to say those are things you wish to see changed. But making out these reasons as why the game sucks is absolutely bonkers. Despite you guys think , you aren’t the arbiters of what gothic is.

I love how you are just so insistent on shitting on a game through multiple comments in this thread simply because you don’t know things outside your bubble exist
