#…​provided you sign your entire planet’s population to my glorious corporation.’

so…somehow topaz is not only managing to embody “rampant capitalist” but also “insidious colonizer”???

like babe maybe try not launching an armed alien invasion of their home threatening to extract every single resource of potential value. or like. dumping a 700yr old debt on a planet that has been entirely isolated for most of that.

hey speaking of how it’s been 700 years since this supposed loan was made—why are you sweeping in to demand hundreds of years of interest on a loan you didn’t care enough to collect more than 400 years ago…conveniently AFTER you decided that maybe there was something to exploit here after all?

like goddamn when they announced “topaz and numby” i thought the pig was supposed to be NUMBY and yet Here We Are

#moi #hsr #honkai star rail #hsr topaz #topaz & numby #capitalism is capitalism i guess #the worst part is i can’t even tell if they meant for her to come off like such a straight up cunt? #like it feels like they’re trying to spin it like ‘oh well she’s just doing her job and trying to help—‘ uhh no #one does not waltz in after not lifting a finger to help just to extract what little wealth this planet has #‘the IPC may seem heartless and cruel’ YEAH BECAUSE IT IS. ITS LITERALLY A HEARTLESS CORPORATION #THAT HAS CANONICALLY ENGAGED IN UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES #‘oh well oh my home planet outside corporations fucked up the environment massively and people were suffering— #BUT THEN THE IPC SAVED THE DAY! and all it cost was signing your life over to a faceless corporation that doesn’t give a shit about you :)’ #WHO DO YOU THINK FUCKED UP THE ENVIRONMENT TO BEGIN WITH????? #‘so i’ve decided to be gracious and kind and FORGIVE your planets (cough supposed) debts… #…​provided you sign your entire planet’s population to my glorious corporation.’ #‘(and if you don’t agree to these terms then we will take your planet by force and extract every ounce of wealth)’ #like HELLO??????? #this whole situation is manipulative as hell
