I think that’s the joke.
They’re marginalized by society, they need to resort to illegal stuff to survive. In the end, that’s a vicious cycle that affects many of us, too.
I don't think raping is required to live..
To be fair he may not actually be a rapist. He calls himself "defiler of daughters", but he's doing so in a theatrically rogueish list of reasons people would want to kill him, so it could just as well be consensual but the parents are furious about it.
However even if that is the case, he actually is also a self-described murderer and thief who implies that he runs a dangerous gang of some sort and regularly has people trying to kill him
The dude who made this doesn’t understand institutional racism
Or they do and it's dark humor
Doubt
Everyone is racist in the Elder Scrolls.
I have roleplayed a different flavour of racist in the last three games, and I am hardly unique in that sense. Every race is defined by their racism or the racism they face.
“This one resorts to crime to survive because racist nords won’t give it a job.”
Careful, "Blacks are always criminals" territory. How do you think a Khajiit makes a living where nobody gives them a job?
Isn't that the point the meme is making?
I think the meme is actually blaming khajits for their own reputation
The people updooting this probably believe white supremacist myths about "black crime rates"
J'Zargo is my homie though.
Did you give J'Zargo the hiccups‽‽‽
Hey! Not all Khajit!
You can't be a fence if you never knew the stuff you're buying was stolen, which was the case in Morrowind, the only person you couldn't sell stolen stuff to was the owner.
My boy Inigo makes up for all that
Wait, there is a rapist in Oblivion? I thought Bethesda is too milk toast for such content.
yeah...do NOT read up on how vampires came about in the elder scrolls...or anything about the daedric princes...or the dwemer...or the slough...or the falmer...especially not the bosmer...
...actually, if you think the lore of the elder scrolls is in any way milquetoast, you clearly haven't read ANY of it anyways.
ES is among the most fucked up fantasy worlds in all of fantasy...like...H.P. Lovecraft/Stephen King levels of fucked up. worse, in some cases.
but there's tons of absurdly funny shit too!
that's part of what makes the ES lore so great; it's got quite literally everything!
It used to be. TES was metal AF before Todd Howard took over. Starting with Redguard it’s been nothing but milquetoast Tolkien fanfic.
There are at least three rapists in Morrowind, although technically it isn't really rape when somebody only wants to gently rape your corpse. So let's keep it at two.
Anyway, it seems they were already toning it down quite a bit in Oblivion if there was only one to be found.
