"I'm not going against canon, you fool. Bethesda should have made the Thalmor joinable for Altmer, Bosmer and Khajiit characters."

Which, for the fourth time, would. Contradict. Canon. Roleplaying doesn't mean squat when it comes to established canon and storylines. It doesn't matter if you're roleplaying as a pure-blood Altmer who can trace his family bloodline back to the Ehlnofey themselves -- if it goes against canon, it's out of the question.
