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.
100%. The OP is literally how people justify racism IRL.
It’s an extra special touch with half of them labeled drug dealer when skooma is part of their religion. It’s prohibition targeting a religious and racial minority.
That aspect was lost on me. Nice catch.
Semi related: in the USA, marijuana came with Mexican immigrants, so a lot of the criminalization stems from racism and xenophobia. The same applies to Brazil, since it was typical to find natives and blacks smoking it.
Yooo weed came from Mexico? La FIESTA! 🪇 🌮 🎈 🇲🇽🫔🎁🎉🎵🎺
If I remember moon sugar is part of the religion but people took that and refined it into the narcotic skooma. UESP says the Dunmer were the ones who refined skooma originally and that moonsugar is more potent for non-khajiit. So drug dealers from other lands take something they aren’t physically adapted to consume, refine it, sell it, and malign khajiit as drug addicts for using it natively.
Like a teetotaler fainting at the fumes of a beer and calling you an alcoholic.
I don’t think raping is required to live…
“It’s the marginalization that made me rape” lol
Yes, we should always trust the labels our oppressors put on us. They’re surely being honest. lol
Rapist is such a racist label for casual forced sex anyway
“This one resorts to crime to survive because racist nords won’t give it a job.”
Racist Nords didn’t give sex either I gather
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
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.
J’Zargo is my homie though.
Did you give J’Zargo the hiccups‽‽‽
My boy Inigo makes up for all that
The people updooting this probably believe white supremacist myths about “black crime rates”
I mean the top comments aren’t exactly arguing against those, rather saying that marginalized people have to resort to them.
Wait, there is a rapist in Oblivion? I thought Bethesda is too milk toast for such content.
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.
SKYRIM
Hey! Not all Khajit!
ESO got in on the racism with the Thieves Guild expansion, too:
Oh it was racist from the start, that’s the whole plot of the nord/ dark elves / argonian faction
