I wish there were more ganon fans that just didn't make him into a misunderstood little meow meow and made him into a complex leader who can be right about his reasons but still have red flags and be selfish
I'm glad people have fun with him, especially given the flurry of attention he received recently, and I'm glad there's a wide breadth of content to enjoy. I do prefer that version you're describing here as well though! I call this reading of the character "Morally Dark Gray Ganondorf"; the kind that definitively has a point, whose whole psyche makes a twisted kind of internal sense that one may absolutely find compelling, awe-inspiring and/or devastating, but who is also unforgivable the second you step outside of his own selfish "me against the world" conception of reality --while also understanding why he can't conceive of anyone as anything but pawns in a much larger game of chess played against gods who kind of demand to be opposed in absolutes. Still: all of this is cool and swell, but, also, do you know how many war crimes you're doubling down on just because you refuse to be owned??? Too many!! The answer is: too many!!
#asks#thoughts#ganondorf#thank you for the ask!!#I mean to be fully transparent I have Things that chronically irk me in some of his sub-flavors of blorboification#I do like some thoughtful zelgan occasionally but there is a subgenre that is just... so objectifying and orientalist and I Can't#when he's used as some sort of prop for Privileged Girlie Fantasy wanting to ruffle her feathers with a Dangerous Exotic prospect I just...#like it's not a bad setup if it's then deconstructed in some way but it never is it's just 100% played straight#instead of being like#an actually really compelling reason to revolt against hylian perception of gerudo culture and the role gerudos serve in that society#(aka being dangerous and enticing but also in great need of being assimilated into “normalcy” as they are consumed)#(ganon being kind of the Opposite of that mindset it pains me to see him flattened in that way like the rest of his people tend to be)#anything that rubs him off his viciousness either through Sexyfication and/or Himboification#or making him Possessed by Demise so that means he's secretly Good and Baby#is not for me :(#let him be mad!!!#let him be such a contrarian he will break everything he cares about as well as himself with his own bare hands just because fuck you!!!
