Are people seriously arguing Calypso is not racist?

Come on, folks, there's a reason "fantastic racism" is such a prevalent trope in fantasy works, to the point that it can be found in Lord of the Rings, the foundation of the modern version of the genre (hell, it created "fantasy" as a marketing category). Asimov used this storytelling technique in sci-fi, too; hell, we could even argue Aesop himself includes this in some of his stories.

So yes, she's racist. Not in a way that can be replicated in reality, but a racist nonetheless. That doesn't mean she can't grow out of it (and given the way this game is written, I'd say that is essentially a given), that people are trying to "cancel" her or that those who like her need to be shamed. Trying to defend her by saying the she's just arrogant feels incredibly disingenuous, though.

As a person who actually has experienced real racism? She's nowhere near racist. Racists don't feel indebted to those they hate when they are saved by them. They are pissed at their world-view being shit on, and take out that anger on their saviour regardless of the debt.
Her characterization is consistent with the "racist" elf trope though (i.e. sees other races as "inferior," believe that interracial relations are "forbidden," sees protagonist/s as "unique" or an "oddity" that make/s them stand out from their kind which elf continues to see as inferior). Granted, it's nowhere near close to actual racism, but the trope does exist, and this game's story is essentially a landfill of tropes (not that there's anything wrong with that). :whistle:

It's stupid to talk about her tattoos and call she "Creepy" while sitting in the comments. Each character has different looks and traits
sometimes we ourselves talk to our imaginations and loved ones who left early to find the answer and calm the soul. :whistle::coffee:

Her grandma was the only person in her entire life that showed Alex kindness without asking anything in return. Of course she'll be attached to her memory and will talk to her as if she was still around - but she knows her grandma isn't. Her grandma's memory is her way to escape the bitterness of life and have some way to vent her most secret tthoughts to someone trustworthy.
It's pretty similar to a person that visits his/her parent(s)/spouse/child(ren)'s grave(s) and talk to them about what's been going in his/her life.
the main thing is that she doesn't start talking to her during sex suddenly one day.

No, it's not stupid. I have the right to express my opinion. Especially since I did it without insults.


Just replayed the game an unhealthy amount of times (both to collect theorycrafting material and to cope with the withdrawals). Nothing special. :whistle:
I wish you to restore your psyche.

Just want to ask, for updating the game can I just overwrite the old version, or is there any other thing I need to do?
Yes you just have to download the newest version and you'll be able to load your previous saves. However, if you used a mod in the past you'll have to download the updated mod too otherwise your saves will be broken.
