#well they should be written properly with unambiguous criticism you fuckfaces

[emblemxeno]

Are people ready to discuss the excessively racist writing in Three Houses, or no?

Petra's situation is uncomfortable

Duscur was not handled well

And House Goneril owns Almyran slaves and Claude NEVER COMMENTS ON IT

Absolutely not, because that'd mean coming to terms with the fact that 3H at its core is not well written and that even another year of development/writing won't fix what's wrong at the foundation.

And it's like... so astronomically worse than the most tone deaf examples in the other games like Tellius' at times shallow view of racism (and also Devdan/Danved existing as he is at all), that it's baffling.

Part of it is also the fandom willfully ignoring actual problems while exaggerating things they don't like, such as calling Cyril "Rhea's slave" while the things you mentioned are in the same game with nowhere near as strong reactions, especially Petra being a fucking political prisoner. Like, actually it makes me sick. And the language they use to describe her during Hubert's support? Disgusting.

That's shit you can't excuse, and if the game were 100% critical of that situation it'd be impressive, but it's not because no one in the writing room had the balls to make that extra step it seems. When I said a couple weeks ago that the incessant worship of "Gray Morality" and "The Horrors of War" that for some reason this fandom thinks FE needs to be considered a good story makes them look fucking shallow, ignorant, and even racist, it includes this stuff too.
