@teto I was really really hoping MIquella would just be a Christ metaphor and not gay rapist of old men but alas.

@lain @not_benis @teto i simply blame grrm for the parts I don't like and credit fromsoft for everything else. It's a powerful cope and it works for me.

@teto @not_benis @lain As far as I can tell GRRM basically came up with the very basic demigod family dynamics, the "heroic concepts" for all of the bosses we fight that would be twisted deliberately by fromsoft. I would honestly be surprised if he even went as far as establishing the nature of Order, the Elden Ring, Erdtree etc and that's most of the cool stuff.
So honestly GRRM probably didn't write anything bad, because his malice as a writer was likely rigidly contained by how little he was tasked to write to begin with. But who knows maybe he put a few lines about gay incest in there lmao.

@lain @not_benis @LittleTom except it's the other way around and he wrote the "good" parts (lore before the game starts) and the rest was all fromsoftware's doing, including the incest homo rape part
