#but in general they don't have any voice in the Fodlan verse

[randomnameless]

Goddamn, i knew KT had taken heavy inspiration from 3H discourse when writing Nopes, but i never expected them to be so on-the-nose about it; that entire conversation is just Claude parroting every single “Church bad” argument the fandom has come up with word-for-word, even the ones that were debunked just by paying miniscule amounts of attention to Three Houses' worldbuilding, such as the Church forbidding regions to be in contact with each other despite Faerghus explicitly having a good trading relation with Albinea.

Well,

I wouldn't say KT took inspiration from redshit (who would?) and its takes, but those takes and KT's Zahrofl's convos, for Clout, both use material that is present in FE16,

Mainly, how FE16!Claude thinks the Church is the reason why Fodlan is "isolaionist", before remembering Cyril, Shamir, Dedue and Petra exist.

(I know, that's completely stupid, but that's how IS/KT decided to write him)

Discourse became, hm, heated, because unlike the characters in this game, some fans are able to dispute those takes with, as you said, minuscule details here'n'there demonstrating how Claude himself was wrong - and not only because he notices people exist, but because the world contradicts his facts.

(I remember during the lockdown I made a rather large and detailed post about the GM recipes, and then made another about the so-called isolationism being pegasi blessing, since a lot of recipes involve ingredients that don't grow in Fodlan, or are native to other countries, like tomatos, Albinea fruits/moose/herring, and what not. It's not a lot, per se, but it demonstrated that Fodlan did trade with the rest of the world!)

But given how KT wanted to get a possible "happy ending" with the three lords, things cannot be heated like fandom discourses, so Dimitri nods and agrees and is body snatched by Chilon.

However, as for who might have read a bit of discourse, I can't believe the FEH writers are completely immune to it.

I mean, Seteth saying in his FB that he doesn't hoard funds and all of his share should go to orphanages, or, out of the blue, saying the Church of Seiros doesn't discriminate against other faiths or against people who don't practice the Seiros Faith felt like... the writers wanted to make a point lol

(I still suspect the FEH writers, especially when it comes to Nabateans, try to give them more spotlight because their base/native game completely ignored them, so we end up with absurdities like FEH caring and loving them more than the KT team who later made Nopes - PTA mom!Rhea was released in 2021, before Nopes and its "did you know Rhea forces people to marry? And no, no one will ever say this take is baseless, because the lords have to be fwends!")

Of course Hresvelg Tea means some script is released, then revamped, then re-revamped (at this point I've lost count at how many times B!Supreme Leader's MYH was modified lol) and adding Pat on top means you have to use Google Translate to check lines... but yep, FEH seems to look at fan content more closely, even if that content is, well, discourse...
