Re: Social Justice for fictional issues

The thing is tho that the Imperial Legion has more high-ranking female officers. ...Well, they have two. But Rikke is the right-hand woman of the man in charge. Stormcloaks have zilch.

I think that the scale is tipped towards the Imperials a bit more, because Ulfric is frankly not that smart, he's not that good a leader (he screwed over the Forsworn unnecessarily, too), his motives are questionable, and he is irremediably racist. Though extending that to you being racist if you side with the Stormcloaks is ridiculous.

It's kind of a moot point who you choose though. If the Dark Brotherhood questline is canon (and they generally all are), the Empire is screwed anyways.

That's true, I guess? I do remember a scarce few female officers from the Imperials, I can't remember any Stormcloaks off the top of my head. But the Stormcloaks seem less organized in general... and less intelligent, to be honest. Ulfric himself, I see where he is coming from, and it's hard to make a complete judgment but his haters definitely think his ego is bigger than his ideals.

It's not right that the worship of Talos was banned, even if it was a half-hearted political maneuver. And I understand a country wanting to be ruled by its own people (though I wouldn't extend that sentiment to the race of the Nords, but simply people who are of Skyrim). But they don't really seem to have a lot of gripes besides that. And even with the Empire, all the jarls are still pretty much Nords anyway, and so is the High King/Queen/whatever (iirc).
