Sometimes as a European you play an American game and even though you speak fluent English and culturally there’s not too much different you can Tell you’re missing some kind of cultural context
I had no fucking clue what a mormon was when I played the New Vegas DLCs
This post is not an invitation for you all to explain mormonism to me I am fine not knowing about this
I can’t put this in tags like a normal person because apparently Tumblr no longer lets you do long tags which is dumb and I hate it but ok. Long time ago when I was but a wee 14 years old kid living in a sleepy town in Northern Ukraine, one day my bestie told me: hey, have you heard about this new English speaking club at the city library? They say it’s run by two guys that came here on a mission all the way from America. And I was like: what mission? And she told me they were supposed to be Mormons. I didn’t believe her. I was convinced she was fucking with me because at the time I didn’t think that Mormons were real. I honestly thought they were fictional and only existed as a gag in South Park. And then a couple of days later those two missioners actually showed up to our English class to promote their little conversion club. Those poor men stood in front of a bunch of 14 years old and told us they were Mormon and several of my classmates said: wait, Mormon? Like in South Park?, and from their pained expressions you could clearly tell that it wasn’t the first time they had been asked that here.
