Egon said:Nah you're reading too much into it. They do not refer to our Demons they work just like Titans for the ignorant masses. Also what Japanese media has adapted into "Demons" for Western audiences usually means completely different things for them. The point of the game is to Rekindle the flame, choose your path to become a wielder of the flame or let everything into the dark, and keep the cycle of Life, Death and Rebirth like many messages for the Magnum Opus.Jrvan [Library Chief said:" post_id=433083 time=1680013749 user_id=46372]The way they represent Demons and speak of them in the lore is unacceptable. Obvious jewish projection there.
The farming Souls thing is just XP farming from the undead, it is not real parasitism one because they are undead and second you're doing them a favor by ending their misery. You defeat the Lord of death that was keeping humans stagnate, to keep the cycle of rebirth going (like the Chronos myth etc.). You do have the choice to be an asshole and steal Humanity and Souls from a living person but there are consequences to it.
What I like the most is that there is no morally evil villains or depravity it is all an inner fight against yourself and how you deal with the circumstances and hardship, just like the old myths but obviously over the top horror and whatnot which I personally don't care. Anyway I don't think there is much of any message or themes in those games like for instance kill the Gods cause they're assholes like in GoW, it is a fight within yourself to become better, different from the the retardendss of literalizing the symbolic language because GoW is kike ass, disabled from getting subtle impersonal and symbolic mechanisms that have nothing to do with fighting moral "evil".
In Sekiro which is the more personal game of the series and has some buddhist yikes there is still positive aspect of Shinto that (SPOILERS AHEAD) you don't need to sever immortality like the base game tells you to, you can actually return the White Dragon to the West and thus fix the same problem of the Souls world but in real Japan.
Isn't that awesome? No matter how fucked and ugly the world is you can do better, just like in the game you may commit errors, you learn the patterns from your enemies, and if you do not win in one life you fight even better in the next.Jrvan [Library Chief said:" post_id=433083 time=1680013749 user_id=46372]
with ugliness and hopelessness in overabundance,
Then what about "Demon King," "Demon Prince" etc... and they all have fire abilities and are typically engulfed in flame. I'm guessing that's the jew trying to depict the high amount of bioelectricity as well as the Solar power. I don't see how these could be related to Titans or any natural forces. As for the Japanese mythology part, the game has separate references to Oni.
Explain also Nameless King (Baal), or Oceiros (Osiris) the consumed king. Lots more like that too. God of War isn't the only deicide simulator, and in some ways Dark Souls takes the cake if you ask me. You get your biggest soul siphons from slaying these bosses that are based off the Gods. The undead thing itself is probably a reference to the biblical mass rising of corpses from the graves, xian apocalypse nonsense typical to the zombie genre. Even if you could call it mercy killing, you're still stealing souls to level up the character. I don't think there's any way to excuse that or interpret it differently.
I see so many subtle curses in Dark Souls that it's hard to count and keep track of them all.
I did play DS1 back in the day, I dunno about it's sequels though, but you are looking at the game from an incomplete lens. The closer representation of the old gods are the dragons, which are an allegory of the sacred winged serpent and therefore the old gods, and not the false gods that the player is meant to fight in the game.
Gwyn is closer to jewsus than any of the old gods, and you very correctly pointed out the similarities to xianity and it's "apocalypse" with the undead curse. Additionally, these "gods" oppose the dragons and this to me is a very clear opposition to the serpent. If you consider this point of view much of it starts to click and make more sense, when all of the hopelessness and rot in the world stems from this false god enforcing and prolonging an age of their making in which they curse and bind humanity forever. I have to disagree with egon because gwyn is completely evil, as in the game he is the one who binds and curses humanity, and is at war with the ancient dragons which I see as the closest allegory to the old gods and the kundalini. Gwyn also ultimately sacrifices himself to the flame and becomes a martyr god which is another parallel to jewsus. So the killing of this "god" doesn't really seem that bad lol
And the player has the option to end the stagnation by killing this false god and allowing their false flame to fade, therefore ending the age of this false god.
As for the demon terms issue, this is mostly due to ignorance and not intended as blasphemy I believe. Generally speaking, the term demon is wrongly associated with fire and beasts of fire. The term demon is misused and misunderstood so much I don't pay it much mind at all especially in the context of games.
I'm more concerned about one of the first scenes in elden ring depicting an aryan god being murdered and having a mark in the shape of a centipede running down his spine destroying the serpent and his soul. This is an oddly specific and gruesome curse...
