being basically a normie on the internet in 2020 is like playing an elder scrolls game where all the other characters you interact with are heavily invested in various narratives, grievances, agendas, or factions…and you're just sort of ambivalent to all of them but surrounded by it all with everyone pushing you one way or another or trying to get you to join their faction or accept their side-quest

>you look like a red-beard to me

yeah i don't really care about any of that

>i see you talking to those iron cross bastards, eh?

dude i have no idea i'm just sort of vibin'

>will you join the uprising in flanderhorn, brother?

nah

>>THEN PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD

maybe this is just how normal people are. maybe being normal means getting heavily involved in some overarching plot or narrative and dedicating oneself entirely towards a singular faction that seeks singular ends…instead of tumbling/sneaking around and looting chests and exploring irrelevent side quests and never actually playing the main game's story

maybe i'm just an autistic retard that just wants to grill and kill mud crabs and get cool thieve's guild armor instead of pledging allegiance to the empire or the stormcloaks or whoever
