Why is Western Civilization portrayed as evil in video games? >Nilfgaardian emperor is titled: Ker'zaer, similiar to Caesar/Kaiser >they worship "Great Sun": similar to Sol Invictus >their most famous division was named after Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, 3rd Duke of Alba was the name of a Spanish military commander and governor of the Netherlands during the Dutch revolt. He was brutal and cruel genocidal maniac >their invasion of Northern Kingdoms is based on Operation Barbarossa: Nilfgaardian ambassador Henry var Attre tells us, that their invasion went smoothly, they destroyed every Northern Army in their path, Northern armies were runing away from them, but the tide of war has turned with winter, doesn't sound familiar? >Nilfgaardian names sound Germanic, in fact their language sounds like Dutch >Nilfgaard strikes similiarties to Roman Empire, HRE and Spanish Empire
>Poles having a somewhat negative take on germans Oh gee I wonder what might be behind this? Certainly it couldn't be the historical relationship they have with them.
Benjamin Brown
>Why does this one game series that happens to be from Poland have a negative opinion of Germans? Maybe read a history book
Henry Cruz
>Germany >western >civilized
Benjamin Barnes
>their invasion of Northern Kingdoms is based on Operation Barbarossa how do you function with this shit rattling around in your head?
Gabriel Sanders
>germany >being in charge of representation of western civilization sorry sweety but that would be france/italy/england
Parker Fisher
>their invasion of Northern Kingdoms is based on Operation Barbarossa: >Northern armies were runing away from them, but the tide of war has turned with winter, doesn't sound familiar? No because the reason the initial phases of Barbarossa were so successful was precisely because the Soviets didn't retreat you fucking dipshit
Wyatt Ross
There are German testimonies that Soviet armies were in fact retreating in the first months.
Zachary Cox
Nilfgaard is not portraid as evil imo, just powerful and rigid. Toussaint (part of nilfgaard) is in fact a very jolly place, and its people portraid as good, even if a bit extravagant
Logan Carter
Those were individual units because the command and coordination was so completely destroyed in the early hours no general retreat could even be organized, and their orders from STAVKA were to launch a retarded and highly unrealistic counter offensive anyway
Luis Torres
Except it's not. You have a persecution complex
Christian Cook
>being surprised by the eternal butthurt of Poles
Jeremiah Cox
Also nilfgaard is very little german. I agree the name sounds dutch, but they are most surely french inspired regarding all else
Carson Richardson
you know what both Nilfgaardians and NAZIS also have in common? they both drank water
John Fisher
>mfw drank water this morning Shit, am I a Nazi now? Should I contact the authorities?
Michael Reyes
i just came here for the ass
Julian Sanders
>they are most surely french inspired regarding all else They're not. They're not enough faggy to be French.

Yes they are lmao Did you even see the servents and the painter fella?
Adrian Williams
the west's imperialism is by definition evil to their enemies at the time of conquest and for much of the occupation. As for why, so people are taught that it's cool to conquer things.
Isaiah Hall
In the books, nilfgaard starts out as an evil nazi expy before getting more character. Similar in witcher 2/3.
Carson Hill
That's what HRE often was to western slavs. The author of books loves Czech history and writing on how fucked they were by German imperialism. There was one german-polish war where Germans would tie noble hostages and kids to siege machines in hopes that it would help them capture one city. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Głogów
Luis Martin
I only played witcher 3 and it gives me a french vibe, but I suppose it's just my wrong impression then
Ayden Peterson
I just came in her ass*
Gabriel Gutierrez
we wuz germans
Zachary Scott
>germs represent all western civilization
lmao neck yourself. germans are not civilized and aren't people either
Nathaniel Walker
>Why is Western Civilization portrayed as evil in video games? Because you are a dirty goyim and need to be sent to a Gender Studies and African History gulag for reeducation.
Michael James
Spaniards, Romans and Dutch aren't Germans.
Bentley Garcia
name 1 video game
Austin Gray
I just did.
Julian Davis
Dutch are just swamp Germs
Luis Cruz
Because you are.
Carter James
They could be if they wanted though. We take anyone in these days.
Ryder Rodriguez
>unironically playing the Shitter There’s your first problem
Eli Martinez
But Redania is portrayed as way more evil? Also one with Germany made by fucking POLES is not evidence of a trend, of course they would portray Germany negatively, and that isn't even what they're doing since the pogroms are supposed to make Nilfgaard seem like the lesser evil and helping your friends leads to Redania getting buttfucked.
Carter Walker
No you JUSTed
Ryder Perry
>Why is Western Civilization portrayed as evil in video games? >their invasion of Northern Kingdoms what are the Northern Kingdoms if not the Western Civilisation? Like only one of them is more than just vaguely Slavic, and they're all just a pan-European mishmash.
And reading the books, I never got the impression that Nilfgaard is supposed to be Germans, they were more like Rome/Spain/Ottomans.
Luis Edwards
Witcher 2 dev diary: >Nilfgaard. Totalitarianism. We wanted it to remind people of conquistadors, of the Third Reich, of, I don't know, an Empire of Evil.Ambassador Shilard is the representative of Nilfgaard in the Witcher 2.
Joseph Powell
Redania is portrayed as a kingdom ruled by a corrupt, evil asshole you have an option to assassinate later on.
Easton Gomez
Take France and Italy out and you've got it.
Mason Lewis
More important. Who were they?
Jose Diaz
jews
Easton Barnes
Nice try br*t France is much more representative of the west
Alternate dimension whites that fought back the mongrel races but ultimately succumbed to global warming.
Easton Clark
When you visit Toussaint, it is god damn awesome.
Cooper Parker
Were the Mongolians evil? Or the Muslims? These are the only other people who ever made a realistic attempt to take over the world. And they didn't succeed.
Aiden Myers
Toussaint reminds me of modern western Europe. They're rich and their life consists mostly of leisure and laziness, and when they're facing an actual threat they have no idea what to do.
Oliver Robinson
>Although a historical power, last 200 years have been a series of humiliating defeats and quick submission to foreign invaders sounds about accurate
Jack Allen
>Nilfgaard is the bad guy Nordling?
Evan Watson
seek help you schizo
Benjamin Gomez

Logan Carter
The northern kingdoms are western culture too. Your comparison makes no sense.
Eli Adams

Guess the darkies are right about you.
Camden Turner

Andrew Gray
You do know the Witcher was a book.
Wyatt Rogers
>Nilfgaardian names sound Germanic, in fact their language sounds like Dutch
Is this another G*rman we wuz episode ?
Nilfgaardian nobles are French: Antoine Moire D'Arvy Vattier de Rideaux Henry var Attre Rhetz de Mellis-Stoke Restif de Montholon Antoine Moire Jan Calveit(Obviously Jean Calvin)
Some French Nilfgaardian seem to belong to the lower class: Ouder de Wyngalt
Nilfgaardian merchants are Dutch : Declan Leuvaarden(firstname name is French, lastname is Dutch-like) Dominik Bombastus Houvenaghel
Nilfgaardian lower class are Germans: Lamarr Flaut Arnoldaep Bluhm Fulko Artevelde
Ian Garcia

What language are the real Nilfgaardian names based on?
Also, there is an emperor "Torres" and some prominent Nilfgaardians are dark-haired sucha s the emperor and Cahir in the books.
Grayson Campbell
>What language are the real Nilfgaardian names based on? It's heavily influenced by Welsh
aep = ap = son (welsh)
>Also, there is an emperor "Torres" and some prominent Nilfgaardians are dark-haired The nobility is most likely Celto-Roman(Welsh, Italian, Spanish, French)

The empire in starwars is just like the roman empire... why do cultural marxists hate white people?
