IlComico Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Friends, evil is among us, it creeps insinuates itself into our minds until it convinces us that it is right that those with dark skin are evil... stop! Larian fascism studios has put a lot of effort into inclusivity within the game and this only underscores the fact that dark-skinned Minthara is just evil, fanatic and dumb… when even Shadowheart and Lae' zel are equally fanatical and have committed injustice for their fierce faith. People of Nexuxians I implore you to create a mod that allows in case you KO Minthara during "raid the grove" (it is not so easy you need a strategy) to find her defeated to beg forgiveness at the moonrise towers as it happens without any logic in case she wins or break the game by running to the towers ignoring "raid the grove". There is no narrative / stylistic choice here, Minthara as dark skinned is forced like a lamb to sacrifice to play the part of the villain against her will, against the will of the player but for the racist ravings of a never grown up game master. Let the heads of the tyrant studios be girded, may the love of God warm the lost lands. Here I ask you for the greatest sacrifice to rebel against the empire of evil; here in the cradle of freedom in the vortex of Nexus ideologies die splitting the skies and lands and leaving nothing but dreams. You sorcerers of authentic things, let us see the stars because magic exists to make the impossible believable by freeing the soul from the sword and the heart from the power of the dog. Remember: <<from the superficial and cheesy narration anyone could be put in Minthara's place; death is for those who insinuate the seed of evil>> #AidMinthara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone made a mod to make Minthara light-skinned, would that solve the problem? Or do you just not want evil characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if someone made a mod to make Minthara light-skinned, would that solve the problem? Or do you just not want evil characters? Now that's thinking outside the box!I think so, if someone made a mod that makes Minthara albino it would probably solve the problem, because albinos are the really bad race.Just yesterday I came to the conclusion that in fact all the women are bad characters in Baldur's Gate, Shadowheart and Lae'zel admit throughout the journey that they have committed injustices for the greater good that go beyond Minthara's.Perhaps in addition to racism towards the female gender, towards races, the developers wanted to imply that no one is innocent or deserves to judge the actions of others. The events unfortunately play out so poorly that honestly you can only see that all the female characters are fanatic, passive-aggressive and Minthara as she is dark skinned is bad and that's it. I therefore ask the Nexushold Academy Council to use your powers to heal a world of the corruption of the inequity of dishonest men and the tyranny of evil beings.despite the translation wall, I hope that the irony reaches your heart and makes you understand that it is not an artistic choice, there is really racist propaganda in pure extreme right style: sneaky and veiled.

SonicToxyn Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 What? Lae'zel's arc as a character can lead her to rebel against a tyrannical godqueen and the fanatical dogma her race is privvy to. The gith are a warrior race, eternally waging conflict on the ilithid. If they seem rough around the edges it's because they literally euthanize their weak for the purpose of breeding better war fighters for their centuries long war.Shadowheart is brainwashed by a dark God whose entire deal is pain and loss... Which she also has a chance to break free of or fall deeper into based on your choices. Drow are canonically evil as well, with a few outliers turning to the side of good. I think you've also left out Jaheira, whose a real stand-up gal with a strong moral compass, as well as Karlach. I happened upon this thread hoping to find a way to turn Minthara to the good, buuuut this has been a tough read.Also racist to the female gender?

Literally one is the same, for example: Minthara is brainwashed by a dark God whose entire deal is pain and loss...Which she also has a chance to break free of or fall deeper into based on your choices.For example Shadowheart could have been the evil race and that's it... without reasons that differentiated it from the path of the other characters, sincerely your defensive hateing for Baldur's racial gate is sad, I am attaching the link for anyone who is working on solving a sad plot.Daughter of Lolth - Minthara at Baldur's Gate 3 Nexus - Mods and community (nexusmods.com) p.s. I'll give you a slight spoiler but racial wickedness doesn't even exist in the fantasy genre, the only definable characters of different races are Lae'zel and Karlach as they come from different dimensional planes, the rest are all of the same race: terrestrial and humanoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
