Should go without saying but never date a cop and christ never marry one. Rule of thumb if he's legally untouchable he's ethically unfuckable. You don't like that cop, you like buff men in tight clothing. I can show you more of those, better ones. Take my hand.

Man, playing X Definitive Edition really reminds me of how much I love the women in this game, and just generally how they get handled.
That Elma is this person who everyone looks up to and looks to for guidance, even the leadership of NLA. That she is somebody who always prefers diplomacy and a peaceful solution over just immediately fighting someone, but is still perfectly fine with fighting if it can't be avoided. That, sure, she's pretty and some characters remark on that, but that these mentions are so extremely sparse that it barely comes up. That she's allowed to be wrong in her approach to things (chapter 11), but it doesn't invalidate her approach in general. She basically fills a role similar to Dunban in 1 for the story, and does so while being more important than he is to that game's story.
That Lin just gets to be this little teenage gremlin who says and does silly things that are appropriate for her age, but also grows as a person over the course of the story and gets to be more compassionate and understanding to the people around her. That she as an asian-american young teenage girl gets to fill the role that in other Xenoblade games get filled by white(-ish? These are Japanese games, after all) teenage guys like Shulk, Rex or Noah. That she is allowed to have her own moments of weakness and being emotional, and have them be just about her, and not how those affect other characters.
That even though Irina is one of the main story party members, she is still the leader of her own team, and noted to be one of the best. That even though her whole dynamic with Gwin looks like it is set up in such a way that he eventually gets to swoop in and be there for her as a protector/partner that never actually happens, and she is never even implied to reciprocate his feelings and clearly has some of her own for Elma. That she is allowed to have her moments of anger, but not have them be treated like a major issue.
That Murderess is allowed to be a character who's morally gray at best. That she does have her moments and bits of being nicer than she lets one, but how it doesn't override who she is. And that her attitude isn't something that needs to be "fixed" or ends up getting "fixed" at the end of her story.
That Hope is a character who is all caring and nurturing to others, and even though she is taken advantage of because of that, that also doesn't mean that she needs to change who she is.
That Alexa gets to be this super energetic Skell fanatic and that her lack of interest in romance isn't something that needs "fixing". That she actually stands out in the cast in that while everyone has a personal tragedy in their past that they are working to overcome, the life-changing events that she went through instead gave her a positive new outlook on life, something to to live for.
That Celica has all the look of a "soft" fantasy princess, but still is fierce in her resolve to not have Rock fight, going even so far as to go against her own principles and fight herself.
That Mia may be a mostly comic relief character, but that she still has her own depths and outlook on life, and that her whole sidequest chain still ends up with her growing as a person before becoming playable.
And while I have only seen the basic recruitment missions for Neilnail and Liesel, they seem to be just as good as the others, so I no worries that they are going to be bad compared to the others.
As much as I like Xenoblade 1 and 3, I still think that X handled its women the best. And all this while not tangling up any of them in a romance subplot!
#there is some stuff mentioned here that I'm not sure if I necessarily agree with 100% however yeah#this is very well said overall#my only disagreements are minor things about character interpretation so I hardly see that as a big deal#and I can easily see where someone might interpret these things differently than I do#but yeah I agree with like 98.99% of this#especially the part at the end about X possibly handling it's women the best#I really do personally think a big part of that is not having them get involved with a romantic partner#as silly as that may sound as I recognize that the stories of 1 and 3 have reasons for what they do#and where they go; it just feels unnecessary at some point to me and X doesn't even bother#with that concept. It tackles the very real conversation of whether or not#something like romance would even have a place in that scenario; without ever touching on the topic#like you can absolutely make assumptions about multiple of these characters and their relationships#but the game never bothers to confirm nor develop anything in those regards#without ever lacking anything for it.

it fucking sucks being a disabled person who can't work and having to see these fuckass posts where someone's like "ahaha jobless people have no life and that's why everyone shitty online has No Job" and everyone and their mother reblogs it joyfully onto my dash for me to see. yes unemployed and unemployable people are truly without exception dogshit people with no hobbies and no redeeming qualities. you're so right. anyway if you'll excuse me i have to start my shift at the I'll Never Be Employed Because Of Permanent Disability And I Love Knowing How You Really See Me store
#yea as a fellow disabled person I feel this in my fucking soul#I don't even have disability benefits or payments so yea#maybe you gotta consider it's way harder for disabled and poor people to have the same hobbies#when so many freedoms are only offered to those able bodied and wealthy enough to afford them

Where are my yaoi soldiers?
Where are my BL generals?
Why did the whole MLM army abandon me at the most crucial time?
The Yuri tank division is advancing
My Bara troops cannot hold the line alone.

I always love when a new Monster Hunter game comes out because without fail it's always just...
Monster Hunter Wilds Players: I think the game is fun actually.
Monster Hunter World Players: Nah they ruined it just like Rise, it's too easy; there's no point, there's no challenge anymore they're making it easier so casuals can play.
Monster Hunter Generations Players: You guys still get unlimited whetstones, pick axes, fishing rods, and you don't have to use paintballs? Do you still flex after you drink... no? Don't talk to me about making the games easier for casuals; filthy mantle users...
Monster Hunter Players: Hi guys! What's your favorite weapon? Charge blade? Insect Glaive? What are hunting styles? Oils... what are oils?
Monster Hunter Tri Players: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! LAGI IS BACK LAGI IS BACK LAGI IS BACK LAGI IS BACK!!! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is possibly the most insane national security story in the last 50 years. Includes a massive text chain between senior members of the Trump admin gaming out foreign policy and war plans on Signal, and they accidentally added a reporter to the group chat.

Why is all of life becoming pay to win
#I mean real answer is because there's not enough people who are genuinely willing and able to do anything about it#like boycotts and protests and such can work if they're done in mass numbers constantly and consistently#but we don't see a lot of action from the majority of people over just simply venting their frustrations#and the reasoning for that varies wildly from person to person. There are plenty out there who cannot afford to protest or boycott#and others who simply suffer from disabilities that do not allow them to take direct physical action.#there are others however who simply want someone else to do it#and all the while we have people who can afford the pay to win tax on everything from food and shelter to basic human respect#and those people will continue to pay the tax because it's easier and they can do it.#and they'll tell you how sad they are that you're going through all the hell of the system built to keep you down#and they'll blame your country and your economy and your schools and your employer if you have one#because they'll never accept that they're welcoming the new norm and payrolling the system that hurts you.#and the system won't change as long as it still makes money because that's all capitalism cares about.#and with more people able to accept the new normal and pay for the new prices than there are people protesting it#the protesters and boycotters once again become a minority that can be ignored and arrested or whatever#and the people who can afford the tax on basic human respect determine it's not worth them going to jail over#because at least for now; they can literally afford not to.
