I think I'm too far from saving, if this is wrong then I outright refuse to be right. And I'm going to keep doing wrong until the day I die. I will forever criticize Gloomlight's new policies. The Oracle is supposed to be a representative of Athelios, did the Lord Warden decree spankings to be a must for disobedience?
Weird and fucked up.
She can abandon me, if she likes. I did well before her, and all success she claims is because of my decisions.
I don't care who I lose, nothing will ever make me prostrate myself before others who don't deserve it. I was a young lady, I took it all, I put up with everything. Not anymore.
I don't care, Athelios themself could come down from the heavens, Enarr could personally demand it, a thousand faceless could beat my ass. I'm not going out like that. Nobody is spanking me in public. They're going to have to kill me if they try that shit.
I hope they just say se'ra nu se'ra and kick me out or something, because I'm going to turn shit up if that ever becomes the case.
These laws are only as powerful as the actual enforcement of them, and if they're willing to kill to propagate those laws, then Aphros has lost its direction entirely.
I have no desire to support what I'm seeing in any manner, it's ironic that there's more freedom in Midpoint and the Frontier than in Gloomlight itself, when you are becoming worse than your enemy, you have to stop to ask:
"Who's the real bad guy here?"
I've never seen Midpoint or the Frontier treat their people in this way, from what I've seen? They do everything for them. In Gloomlight? You worship the wrong god and you're getting spanked. And by wrong god, I mean any god but Athelios.
I'm better off just diving into it all myself, I'm better off serving what I do, in a manner that is best for me. Because clearly, if this is the vision, I'm going to purposefully blind myself.
I'm pushing thirty, I wonder if the first person to get spanked will be a grown ass adult.
Man, how do the enforcement of these laws even work? Do they take it to trial to determine if you warrant a spanking? Or do they just decide: "You must be spanked".
Do you think Athelios is watching this and going: "That's some good shit."
Under these rules, I can't even mediate because that's paying tribute to Nemea, and in essence "worshipping" another god.
What the fuck does worship mean anyway? That's such a vague and broad-reaching term, is it telling you, you can't actively pray on behalf of another god, for others?

These laws are so vague, it can be used to justify literally any decision that is made, and it has. I'm not buying this "Oracle is the defacto representative of Athelios" rubbish. I agreed with that during the time of Loramelian, but the policies and decisions I'm seeing?
It isn't consistent. Athelios stood on behalf of Azalea, but we can't even stand on behalf of the rights of our people, we're just going to beat them like dogs for disagreeing.

We're going to take their rights, and tell them: Go elsewhere, or convert. Isn't Azalea, by right of Athelios, another God? This is inconsistent with a policy that demands an entire country to exclusively worship him, or else.
Because that's what this really is. This isn't freedom. This isn't justice, this isn't balance, this isn't law and order, this is simply an abuse of power.
Who's going to do these spankings anyway? Talguth?
I miss the good old days when I wasn't the only one with a moral compass, everyone else would rather sit like an obedient servant and let their rights be taken.
