Why is Saber a girl?
If Heroic Spirits appearance is molded by what people believe they look like, wouldn't King Arthur be a dude?
Or did Nasu do some
>uh in this universe it was widely believed king Arthur was a chick
But that doesn't make any sense if only her knights knew she was a girl?

Kayden Bailey
You're trying to dissect a very poorly written franchise. Don't.
Jacob Cook
It's literally just an excuse to make most historical figures girls in Fate. It's a garbage franchise.
John Peterson
>Why is Saber a girl?
So the male, hetero self-insert can fuck her.
Brayden Rodriguez
Isaiah Nguyen
I know. I just always found the legacy that a hero left wasn't his own and was forged by others opinion of him an interesting concept.
Like imagine being summoned and your in a completely foreign body that isn't your own.
Not genderbending per say, but more like Alexander the Conquerer being fucking 7 feet tall.
I really wish Fate had a more competent author.
Justin Wright
Saber isn't a standard servant in the context of FS/N & HA, and is unaffected by rumors or belief manipulating her depiction. She's not even coming directly from the Throne
>But that doesn't make any sense if only her knights knew she was a girl?
Most of them didn't outside a select few retainers like Merlin or Morrigan
Actually read the VN instead of wiki articles
Andrew Roberts
>Middle aged Danish author
>Gets summoned as a child because he mainly wrote children's stories
Same with Da Vinci being summoned as the Mona Lisa, nothing in fate makes sense.
Robert Perry
Good meme
Jaxon Lee
Jaxson Hall
I'm pretty sure that Da Vinci came as Mona Lisa because he's a fucking degenerate and wanted to be the cute girl.
Adrian Diaz
>he lacks the knowledge
Camden Baker
Still a retarded plot point
John Johnson
LIZ GET DO-
Christian Long
James Williams
Because I love little blond girls in armor, you faggot.
Thomas Baker
>has a dick
>girl
Bentley Howard
Name one time the winner actually got a wish.
Logan Walker
dumb
Jace Richardson
That's literally why Nasu went from Prototype to final designs. Male MC with a female heroine sells better than female MC with a male hero.
Charles Morris
Fun fact - in "prototype" version of Fate, protagonist was a girl (cute girl with glasses) and Saber was absolutely handsome blonde dude. And Gilgamesh was trying to "win" protagonist from Saber. Funny.
Grayson Torres
>If Heroic Spirits appearance is molded by what people believe they look like, wouldn't King Arthur be a dude?
Because Saber isn't really a Heroic Spirit, she's the actual King Arthur in FSN.
Jordan Anderson
Samuel Harris
I did. I get that she made the pact to undo her legacy but I still don't understand why Saber has a pussy and gets a creamy facial.
Connor Gutierrez
She was always a girl. Merlin just also slapped an additional dick on there for a while for the sake of Saber's husbandly duties to Guinevere. And also because he's a troll.
Aiden Watson
And you wouldn't want to be cute girl?
He could chose any form he wanted. So he picked cute option, simply because he could. Who wouldn't?
Matthew Brooks
You're telling me that THIS is supposed to be the Fifth Emperor of Rome?
Cameron Cox
i love mash!
Carter Thompson
Any lore from outside F/SN or F/HA immediately goes in the garbage.
Nathan Walker
because the only historical figures of any importance whatsoever are all male, and they wanted waifus for the franchise. Nobody would watch if they summoned fucking Susan B. Anthony to fight
Josiah Clark
Haha, it's Merlin bro, I ain't gotta explain shit.
Luke Phillips
umu
Christian Walker
Apocrypha(Amakusa) and Extra(Hakuno) both got their wishes wish though Amakusa got jewed out of his by homunculi shenanigans. Kiritsugu could have gotten a wish in Zero had he not sperged out about the grail's Miracle-Lite nature
H-HAYAI
Andrew Howard
They could have just made all the masters waifus instead.
Aaron Morgan
solomon
actually I'm bullshitting you I only hang around in fate threads to get off to rider lewds and know nothing about the series
Gabriel Wilson
Merlin as non-serious troll is second best version of Merlin, right after White's from "The Once and Future King".
Carson Long
I guess you're right.
I would have killed to see a prototype Arthur and Shirou combo
Kevin Gonzalez
Because that's not how it worked in the first Fate. All Servants were actual legendary figures summoned from the past.
The only exception was Asassin Sasaki Kojiro who was technically based on a fictional character, but he was an actual person who actually mastered the swallow cut back when he was alive.
Jace Lopez
>And you wouldn't want to be cute girl?
Not really.
Lincoln Mitchell
Did someone say umu
Isaiah Diaz
Based, have a nice day
Owen Ward
>prototype Arthur and Shirou combo
gay

In Carnival Phantasm, Ilyia got her wish for batteries for her gamepad after Berserker accidentally eliminated every other servant while trying to find some. Too bad she got wrong type.
Jackson Kelly
A servant is summoned based on peoples perception of them during life.
People believed Cu Chulainn looked the way he did so the grail made that his corporeal form.
People believe King Arthur to be a man.
Sadly, he is not a man.
Christopher Rodriguez
There is something seriously wrong with you.
Adrian Wilson
Liz is the greatest servant because she has so many forms and is in every event
Benjamin Evans
Maybe he’s comfortable the way he is and doesn’t suffer from autogynephilia
Liam Diaz
>girl
>has a dick
>h-haha it's just magic
>it's still a girl!!!
>i-it's just a prank, bro
>i don't gotta explain shit
Juan King
That doesn't work for most of the servants in the first Fate.
>Archer: should've looked like Shirou since nobody in the present has any different perception of Shirou
>Berserker: I'm pretty sure nobody imagines him as an actual Hulk
>Gilgamesh: doesn't look anything like any popular depiction
>Rider: lacks even the signature snake hair
>Saber: already mentioned
I don't know where this "being based on perception" comes from, but it wasn't invented for the first game.
Leo Ward
She's not the only one with a dick
