the most oppressed minority

I definitely agree with you but also think that while Elden Ring can be difficult to learn, it's just like any other skill or hobby where you put a bit of time and effort and you can beat it no problem (a person's goldfish beat some bosses). The game also has ways to make it easier by summoning other players or summoning NPCs to help you. Don't get me wrong though, there should be more accessibility options to help people.
