Specifying a 'racist conservative' is redundant.

We just got the Canadian Future Party, and even though I'm pretty left leaning (both financially and socially), it gives me some faith for conservatives here.

Woke basically applies to the bigots just realizing and getting worked up by things that had existed for decades. Either they've been dozing off for decades or have been "woken" up to it by propaganda with political undertones, and neither speaks highly of their mental faculties.
Although the thing about The Elder Scrolls in general is that it doesn't hand hold you, so you are free to be a racist bigot and not realize it. They don't force realization onto the player, you can happily adopt and become a tool of the point they are trying to criticize, you can willfully remain as ignorant as you would be in real life. In contrast to Starfield, where all companions are like the borg, of one mind telling you or nudging you into what you should have actually done.
I think what the image is trying to say is no one gives a shit that plays elder scrolls about this sorta thing because it's a Fantasy game. No one needs to boot up a video game to be reminded how unfair and shitty our world is. We go to the game and escape that ( hopefully).
It's not like fiction (including Fantasy) is often used as a means to do social commentary. ^^`
No, you go to the game to play a power fantasy regardless of how unfair and shitty that fantasy world clearly is because of how your status or your skills help you surpass it. The Elder Scrolls goes that extra step to give you the choice to contribute or fight that unfair and shitty to such an extent that people mod it in when the choice is not given, and the player does not even have to be aware of it.
People play videogames for the control, replayability, and often the narrative (which honestly was never The Elder Scroll's strength), not necessarily to escape the world's problems, problems which some games embrace. At a more basic level, games just need to provide gameplay and a player just needs to explore it.
There's no shortage of games where you play as a jackass in a shitty unfair world. GTA comes to mind.

Small correction but pelinal was a time traveling cyborg, but being gay is close
According to MK, he was written to be gay, but higher-ups had him make his relationship with Huna ambiguous.
Huna dies at the hands of the Ayleids
Pelinal goes on what is arguably the greatest slaughter ever perpetrated by one single being in the full history of the gd universe, culminating in not just the overthrow but freaking extinction of the Ayleid race
"They were just good friends"
Achilles and Patroclus: "That's our boy"
History will say they were roommates

I'd buy that
But how many times and on how many platforms?
All of them
Todd Howard wants to know your location
What about a politician who sexually harasses an employee and making that employee read their erotic interspecies fan fiction.

Isn't all Daedric Prince genderless? They just assume the form they like, some are just a pile of tentacle.
In a literal sense, yes. But they present themselves as male or female usually. So it's still appropriate to refer to Boethia as "genderfluid" because they send to switch it up.
I guess that makes most of them gendered but sexless? I mean, sexless in a biological sense, particularly given that they're not biological beings, but it's also funny to imply that Vaermina simply never gets laid
They're literally all-powerful gods that reign over their own worlds that are quite possibly the same size as, if not bigger than Nirn. They don't play by our rules. I don't think we can apply our conventions of sex and biology to them lol.
As I said: they can be whatever the fuck they want.

Morrowind is a basically the thesis of Things Fall Apart in video game form, with a good deal of Dune. It’s an examination of colonialism. Every detail of that game is dripping with politics. The Dunmer are racist and engage in horrific chattel slavery - but does that mean it is right for the Empire to colonize them and take their resources? There’s substantial evidence that your character is a spook sent to “fulfill” an indigenous prophecy to tighten the Empire’s control - is that morally right?
There’s also a hermaphrodite male presenting god who has had hundreds of children with something quite close to the Devil.

Good, now make it gayer!
Bro, same for Star Trek
"They would have made it woke" is the dumbest fuckin attitude to take
I have been mistaken in this case
Sounds like you gotta brush up on your elder scrolls lore my dude. You completely missed the joke that TES was always "woke".
I suspected but you never know
My bad
Dude, you gotta check out elder scrolls lore, it's fucking wild. The world runs on clockwork, vivec gave molag bal sloppy toppy while his toppy was sloppy (he was headless), the lizards lick trees to become argonians which are wifi-enabled (the Hist trees can remotely control argonians, which meant shit got real during the Oblivion Crisis and Mehrunes Dagon, a fucking daedric prince pissed himself in fear when he tried to invade the Black Marsh), there are like, 72 1/2 forms of khajiit, it's heavily suggested that the elder scrolls is a post-apocalyptic fantasy game...
Also, every race in the elder scrolls has had a space program. The khajiit space program was literally just them standing on each other's shoulders to reach space.
Oh yeah. And the dragon breaks. When time and space just kinda fuck up and every possible outcome happens at the same time before settling onto a single thread (in-universe explanation for why there's one canon ending to each game despite players being able to get other endings; each game takes place during a dragon break).
Sloppy toppy while his toppy was sloppy is an inspired use of the English language. You deserve an honorary degree
it's heavily suggested that the elder scrolls is a post-apocalyptic fantasy game
I distinctly recall a conversation I had on reddit in which I irritated several Fallout fans by insisting that the Elder Scrolls is simply Europe in the world of Fallout and that the Chinese stealth suits were 100% chameleon enchanted gear from TES IV

I miss the time when people realized that fiction, even if possibly metaphoric, is ultimately not real.
Dagoth Ur is woke as fuck and he will awaken all you sleepers.
