Gaider out here on Twitter with *sympathy* of all things for the missionary who was killed while illegally approaching an isolated community of natives because he wanted to convert them to Christianity, I haven’t been actively following him for a while but I’m blocking him now. He’s shown he doesn’t care about natives in the past and now he’s showing how colonialist he really is
So after a solid three minutes of reading this ask over and over to make sure I was reading it right, I had to look it up myself, and jesus motherfucking murphy:
No I don’t have sympathy for some fucker who decided it was worth putting every single Indigenous person on that island at risk of death to try and Christianize them.
Who the fuck does he think he is even remotely considering these two situations the same. David Gaider eat shit and fuck off into the sun challenge.
Suddenly it makes sense why in Dragon Age, the Exalted March against the Dales is framed as the colonized and culturally genocided elves’ fault for not opening their borders to colonial Chantry missionaries. The former lead writer really thinks like that.
I rarely reblog Twitter conversation, but this is so staggeringly offensive. He is being entirely justifiably dragged on Twitter, with many people pointing out the absolutely false equivalence that he is drawing here.
