#solid-enough post#but the thing that annoys me most abt some kinds of rhea fans is that how they dont understand why fighting for a character like her#would alienate a significant fraction of the western fanbase#whether diaspora of the global south or ex christians or whatever#personally i think she's a cool red herring#probbaly bc i dont possess the kind of religious trauma that would make a character like her viscerally uncomfortable#talk#and a political analysis of the game does show how awkward allying with a character like her is#and this objectively trumps an analysis that focuses more on series/genre conventions#that require a more sympathetic view towards nonhuman characters#by series conventions i mean how nonhumans are almost always a marginalised kingroup that are vixtim to 'fantasy racism'#tangent: im thinking bout my triangulation analysis post and how awkward yet realistic it would be for claude and rhea to#recognise their mutual suffering (and perhaps bond over it)#bc racism is different to fantasy othering#but.....#like i swear my sympathy towards rhea is not the 'fe fan with no political awareness' variety#claude could handle it. it's not any more awkward than anythjg else hes had to deal w#*political analysis as in intsys threw in just the right combination of details they thought were neat for flavouring#to make rhea and the cos a colonising institution#like irl#or smth
