The irony is that this was a popular opinion when the game came out. How far we've come in having the court system overturn the laws made by our popularly elected governments..

To be fair to the guy in-game complaining about LGBT groups being too pussy to stand up... to a mass shooter with an AR-15, I guess? That criticism seems to be one you can level against many groups of people.

Boom.

Guild Wars 2 is actually pretty hilarious in its treatment of racism because all the various "races" of Tyria are all modeled on racist stereotypes, even as they're trying to make their terrible story about social justice (with Mordremoth causing people to be racist against Silvari and that sort of thing). They even use the kind of language that, say, British Imperialists did a century back, talking about "lesser" races and the like.

I think it's safe to say that Anet can't really write at all, and they definitely botch up lots of things.

Like, even on a logical level, they give every race their anti-faction(Inquest, sons, etc) yet some of the races give them huge plots of land inside their capital cities (Sons in Hoelbrak).

I get that maybe you're trying to show the benevolence of the player races, but why are all the anti-faction members of each faction 100% evil 100% of the time?

I'm still annoyed having to complete a living story instance while listening to two people bang on and on about their relationship during it with unskippable dialogue, unlike personal story. I'm like, "flush your personal problems with the rest of your crap!" already! This is a military operation! Who died and made me the leader of this mook squad?

That's because both the Norn and Asura are extreme libertarians that have almost no rules other than a ban on fighting in their respective capital city. The norn especially don't actually have a government: the guys in charge of Hoelbrak are one family's militia with no presence outside that city. Isn't it the Lionguard who's actually fighting the Sons of Svanir in norn areas?

The Asura are supposed to be more of a cyberpunk kind of thing with independent companies doing whatever the hell, with the peacemaker feebly trying to avoid any more disasters like at that reactor in Metrica.

Edit: It's neat how the Lionguard have outposts all over the norn and Asura lands but only a small one at the very edge of charr territory.

There are some exceptions - defectors, some personal story dudes, etc. Personally I really like that they're bringing the White Mantle back (still later than I'd prefer) cause it means the anti-factions for each race aren't divided into groups - such as a renegade socio-military organisation, a religious group worshipping an evil ice lizard, an amoral scientific organisation, and a sadistic objectivist plant hive mind - and then some hobo muggers.

Seems like lots of Norn fight sons outside of Hoelbrak, but I take your point about the rest. I main a Charr so the intricacies of the other races doesn't come across often.

Living story S2 is also pretty insufferable and it's taking me a while to get through it largely due to the above reasons

Personally I am confused as to why Hoelbrak gives territory to the Sons of Svanir since they pledge their loyalty to an Elder Dragon which historically are pure evil and apocalypse-causing.
