Online debates based on a series that is still ongoing after a long time?

What is an online debate discussion based on a topic from a game or series that people are still debating after all these years?

While many people rag on Skyrim (and sometimes rightfully so), I’ve got to hand it to the Civil War plotline not being (completely) one sided that people in the fandom are still discussing it to this day.

While I lean more toward the Empire side, I do think both sides have their pros and cons that balance them out, allowing anyone to make their own choice. On one hand, it’s justified that the Stormcloaks want to become independent, since a major theme in the games is how the Empire has been in decline over time so its fair that they dont want to be shackled with dead weight. They also allowed the elf equivalent of the Gestapo to torture and interrogate their citizens, banning Talos worship and committing other evil deeds. While the empire were forced to make this choice, it still would feels like a slap in the face, since it was partly thanks to Skyrim that they “won” the war. Also, Hammerfell proved that it’s possible to become independent and drive the elves out of their homeland, so it makes sense that the Stormcloaks would want the same thing.

On the other hand, the elves are benefiting from the civil war and actually want it to last longer to weaken the Empire. It’s pretty clear they’re preparing for a second full-on invasion, which many think a unified Empire would be better than everyone being divided. Last but certainly not least is the Nord racism, with Dark Elves being forced to live in slums and Argonians stuck on the docks which is something that could spread across Skyrim if the Stormcloaks win.

These are some of the reasons why the Civil War debate is still going strong after all these years (even though the majority tends to side with the Empire).
