#play okami for a real game with actual Ainu representation

[300iqprower]

When done right pseudo servants can eat as their own standalone characters (Kama, Muramasa, Ishtar, Babylonia!Eresh, Taiga) but when done terrible......

Sitonai pisses me off for so many reasons,,,, the first being that she doesn't need to be a pseudo servant nor incorporate multiple godesses inside her to manifest. This is a girl who slayed a giant snake with her dog and is part of the Ainu mythos, all the writers had to do (idk who conceptualized her or wrote her character but you are on my hitlist) was add their Lil flavor and pass it off because it's literally close to the legend of Susannoo

Why make Prisma Illya the vessel other than for cash cow bs (not to mention the blatant pandering towards the p*dophilic demographic of fgo)? If anything I'd think it'd be better if she was near the same age as Erice because she'd have someone to relate to not to mention the fact that Geronimo (an indigenous person) would def jive with her because they're both a part of cultures that have been stomped out in the name of linguistic purism, colonialism, imperialism etc.... Sitonai definitely could stand as her own character that way but with the way Nasu gets about anything critical about humanity and how it discarded others...............

Louhi and Freya.... WHY? WHY? WHY? What the fuck is the point in that? You mean to tell me in a Norse lost belt where Valkyries, Surtur, Brynhild, and Sigurd take the forefont (Skadi doesn't exist if I don't acknowledge her) that Freya and Louhi are only able to be a part of the story and they're not even a part of the story because Illya is the one with the braincell and won't allow them the time of day other than to look off to the side mysteriously?????

I can get behind the point of picking pieces of these goddesses to make a composite servant (Douman, the Sakura five that look nowhere near like Sakura Matou at points)

Why even allow that possibility if not to piss me off Nasu? They do nothing in a Lost belt where they'd fucking THRIVE compared to Illya (why was she chosen again because she holds zero traits that would allow pseudo servant compatibility)

Not to mention Louhi! Who is a fucking witch who I'd say is on par with Hecate and you mean to tell me she can't show up in her own servant form bc?????? She's not divine so she doesn't need to hijack a vessel to just manifest and be a menace and I know for a fact She's strong enough to handle herself against Giants and Skadi (who would do nothing anyway) Sigurd and the Valkyries—a powerful setup where you aid PHH Louhi in her beef with Skadi and the bastardization of this Lostbelt.

Sitonai can manifest in some oniland fuckery idccccc

What I'm trying to say is that there literally was no need for Sitonai to manifest that way and Louhi should strike down anyone who says otherwise. Not only is it disrespectful, makes no sense, contributes net fucking zero to the story, it's an egregious call that I'm surprised got green lit.

Yeah, all of the above basically. Sitonai is offensive for more reasons than I can count. The pedobaiting, the shoehorning of a character with no relevance beyond brand appeal (despite said brand largely being the same people who do nothing but complain how FGO "ruined" the fate series), the pandering "look how much we represent this indigenous people" yet curiously they can't care enough to make them an actual character or make them represent said indigenous culture, the bastardization of the original character being shoehorned in (since she's blatantly prilya pedobait and not an actual representative of Illya as a serious character), the character existing at the explicit expense of much more fitting and interesting characters because Nasu is a massive racist who doesn't want to acknowledge Norse culture unless it's to suck off a different culture he has a personal attachment to, i'm probably missing even more, and this isn't even getting into the full insult that is making Freyja a non-character in the chapter whose main enemy type is literally the valkyries.

NotSitonai is a fucking plague and disgusting on every level. Period. She perfectly encapsulates what I mean when i say what I always say:

Fate Grand Order fundamentally fails to live up to potential because the overarching theme of the series is that all humans have value and is about the collective power of cultures from across the world and throughout history, but it's written by incredibly narrow-minded people who believe only their way of thinking is valid.

A certain phrase comes to mind: "It's a story about right and wrong, written by people who think they are always right"
