#if Neve hurts your fee fees you probably need to sit with that for a minute before complaining online

Fucking right?? Neve cannot be allowed a single fucking emotion - let alone the complex emotional journey she takes over the course of the story - without people be shitty about it. God forbid a brown woman be upset about something.

I have a suspicion that the Minrathous vs Treviso "debate" has been in part affected by this combo of misogyny and racism. The downplaying of what Minrathous suffers (described by some as just "a little rubble in the streets") combined with people scoffing at and crying over Neve's coldness towards Rook afterwards are probably more connected than people would like to admit.

I saw someone say that they were "saving Minrathous this time" and that they would be watching to see if Neve were "grateful" enough to help them to decide what to do in subsequent games like.

Even if that's a joke... how casually people make (and laugh at) a joke like that is a little telling.

I mean the same people that will complain about Lucanis’ “cut” content (something something crying about the art book again) will also say that they “can’t”romance Davrin because he’s the archetypal jock character and if that doesn’t make anyone who actually paid attention to his character arc fucking livid I don’t know what will.

People are mischaracterizing Neve as an “indulgence” for Lucanis who wouldn’t be able to help him like Rook because apparently Rook is so special they have magical genitalia and that’s what fixes Lucanis not…Lucanis. This such a fucking awful read of every character involved and how PTSD works it’s impressive.

We all know why. We know why Neve and Davrin are being mischaracterized and sidelined like this for a lighter skinned character. Disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourselves. The misogyny involved with Neve combined with the racism running rampant through this fandom lately should be making everyone think fucking twice.
