I think what the FF16 fandom doesn't like to acknowledge is if Terence was a female character, the canon Dion/Joshua interactions would have everyone shipping that as the popular ship for those characters just like the CidClives.

He has no personality, he's in 0.2 scenes where he takes care of Dion and cries when Dion leaves him. If he was female y'all would be bitching from day 1 and rollercoastering down the "poor writing->thats why i just can't ship it" pipeline, but because he's male you come up with endless hcs for him and call it the best ship evar.

You guys better not be the same crowd saying Jill doesn't have personality or agency and "doesn't do anything".

#final fantasy xvi #fandom misogyny #today we respect only the shuate writer who wrote the 200k+ fic centered on jote #boo hoo hoo if the canon doesn't spoonfeed us everything about a female character she's invalid and boring #but hey look at my 200 slides powerpoint presentation on mr nameless nobody #he's so deep and interesting and their relationship is soooo EPIC #“quick question where did you get most of this info from”#“oh no biggie i just build on what canon gave me aren't they great”#right. so you just made most of it up really. because you cared.#but if he was a girl it'd be “but canon doesn't give us ANYTHING to work with”#and OF COURSE they combine this with rigorous policing and active ship hate of any rival ships #“why ship that?????? he's ALREADY in a gay relationship”#right. right. so you admit it? the gay ship is what matters.#it was never about whether any characters have chemistry with other characters #you can imagine a whole world for them as long as they are male/male #but they've got to be male/male first for you to give them dimension #if he's a flat one-dimensional swooning maiden then no extra dimensions from fandom we're sold out #and if you think terence is anything but one-dimensional in canon you are LYING TO YOURSELF #he serves one purpose and one purpose only in the plot and that's to serve the leading male and we HATE this for female characters remember #please we interact with jote waaaaay more and we can even chat with her in the hideaway #no wonder why it blows their minds that other shippers may value chemistry first and why anyone would go off to ship dion with th other guy #wish fandom would admit they simply indulge and favour a character exponentially more if he's male #than continue to pretend they are tragically prevented from liking female characters because of writing problems
