>Humanity is the reason why everything is turning to shit in the setting.
There's a lot of freudian / jungian psychology metaphor in dark souls.
Everything is turning to shit because humanity is being repressed.
When you repress a part of yourself for too long, it eventually fights its way back to the surface through disordered behavior or thought.
Similarly, the only remaining god in lordran (gwyndolin) uses the image of gwynevere (Persona) to try and preserve the age of light (ego) by repressing the dark soul (humanity), and this repression causes the darkness to run wild and turn into the abyss.
