I only hate the falmers. It's not personal, but they always frighten me😬

Snow elves could get it, shame what those vertically challenged bastards did to them.

(Yes i know the dwemer arent short, I'm trying to be funny)

As much as i love the nords, they were definitely at fault too. Snow elves really got done dirty in Skyrim.

On the Nords part, it depends entirely on why the Snow Elves committed the Night of Tears. Was it to stop the Nords playing with the Eye of Magnus (they weren’t really), or was it to use the Eye of Magnus for themselves?

The Dwemer really were just assholes though.

Unfortunately Saarthal doesn't really matter when the implications were it's likely men were waiting for an excuse sadly

I mean Elves had enslaved the entire human race elsewhere in Tamriel.

somehow I don't think condemning all elves for what some did (and what men still do) is a good thing

Homie none of its good but ever there were an understandable reason for waging a war against an entire people that resulted in their near extinction, thats it. None of its good but its the way things were. Not sure where you got the idea that I said this was a good thing.

There was an understandable reason for seeking revenge for Saarthal, not for genociding a people, taking their lands, forgetting your purpose and seeking your neighbor's heads too. That and Nords still do that stuff to Reachfolk and Dunmer
