^Oh my fucking god

But on topic, "X is about classism and capitalism=bad" is the trendy pseudo-deep analysis right now

The plot was inspired by only fantasy novels he read as a kid and how, as a non-english speaker (and the books were in English) he had to fill in the gaps in his understanding using his imagination. Totally about classism.

Jim probably shouldn't have gone with vaati for his info since vaati got into some shit during the DS1 days for stealing info and presenting it as his own.

I'm surprised he didn't think it was a metaphor for microtransactions being an anti-consumer practice.

People who responded to his video without actually watching it. Jim also says in his video that he's talking bollocks, and that his interpretation of Dark Souls is exactly that - his. Other people would have a different interpretation of it, and that's what art represents.

The first response to this topic is why he hates Gamefaqs. he can't take criticism so he likes sites that are strictly moderated echo chambers

I get it but I think it stiffles open mindedness

The first post is not criticism, its a fat joke triggered by the mere mention of his name.

Gwyn and co are the 1%

The age of fire is already over, everything is corrupt and broken like a failed society/government. They are just grotesquely puppeting along for corrupt personal gain

You're a minion falling for fake news propaganda that is against your interests by relighting the fire at great personal cost

All the things they warn could happen are already happening

Age of darkness is actually the wsy to go because the government deserves to be abolished and a revolution take place

Basically Gwyn is Trump and you're a broke redneck

Great analogy, because rednecks love lighting things on fire.

Part of the problem is that in the DS universe humanity itself is a curse brought about by the furtive pygmy finding the dark soul and giving humanity to hollows. It's up for debate as to whether extending the light is the right call or whether letting it expire is just returning the world to equilibrium. It's closer an analogy to eco terrorism than politics... this idea that humans are a blight on the world and if we were just to let ourselves die out the world could be restored to its former and natural state.

I don't think that's quite right either

The age of fire is the age of lords, such as Gwyn and co.

The age of dark is considered the age of man, where humanity and the abyss rule, instead of the gods

Whether or not that's a good thing is up for debate though
