I'd like brand twitter better if it was more "Here's a coupon for a free thing" and less "Here's a pop culture reference drawn on a napkin with condiments".
that's what it used to be like. the notable exception five or six years ago was the account for Denny's, and it was widely mocked for trying too hard. but crap tends to rise to the top so every single brand copied their "success"

:thunk::mason::brainworms::tinfoil::thunkher:
multiple fantasy properties do that, but it should also be said that Skyrim’s other races are some kind of British isles people, some sort of fantasy Mediterranean, and Scandinavian.

the nonhuman races also are often vaguely coded as some real life culture

most of them

old world of darkness, among other delights, brought you "the vampire line we have coded black as hard as possible are a bunch of violent brutes who are permitted in Polite Society because they're reliable tools to do the bidding of their aristocratic european betters. also they're more vulnerable to freaking out and going on a murder spree when stressed," "there's a werewolf clan defined by the weakness they've failed to gently caress enough dogs," "there's a type of wizard based entirely on doing drugs giving you magic powers" and "literally all romani, knowing or unknowing, are in service to a malevolent vampire god who is addicted to doing crimes"

old world of darkness had the occasional neat idea. they were extremely few and extremely far between.

can't think of any white wolf game that does that specifically (at least more than it gives other ethnic groups their own more-prevalent supernatural lineages- so maybe it should be "all of them"), peak racism oWoD racism was probably Kindred of the East (weird culturally insensitive mishmash of stuff, implies asian souls work differently than the rest of humanity in the context of the broader line) and WoD: Gypsies (everything)

in the defense of the world of darkness, it did give us the beauty of the Rokea, who had zero interplay with the rest of the gamelines because they'd actually been doing their jobs for the last couple thousand years with no issues

"why has there never been any dumb supernatural apocalypse bullshit in the oceans" is answered entirely satisfactorily, along with most other questions, by the most perfect phrase in the english language: "Sharkmen Attacks"

some people seem upset because the cool, rebellious, punk bloodsucking degenerates who prey on humanity are now noted as potentially being nazis (which is kind of dumb imo, because it suggests people are taking oWoD Brujah propaganda at face value and forgetting what they really are), but the way it and the entire line is being handled under the new management is, uh, extremely questionable- the Brujah clan weakness (a tendency to violently fly off the handle under emotional stress) was renamed to "triggered," weird nods to Nazi poo poo like having sample dice rolls happen to be 1,4,8,8 and signing NPC emails with "blood and souls," and palling around/actively defending one of the most odious pieces of poo poo in the tabletop RPG space (Zak S)

I honestly have never understood why anyone would even side with the stormcloaks. the empire is kinda crap but they are better then some weird ultra-nationalist rear end in a top hat who might be a sleeper agent for the dominion and is perfectly cool with going full ethnic cleansing on people. its like picking Caesars legion over yourself or the NCR.
