>"....people will have no choice but to rise and fall by their own merits."
Why did you guys say she was a communist???! Just played her route and she is clearly a die-hard free market CAPITALIST who believes in freedom of speech and expression. "Failing" or falling is a term red communists hate even if it means you can pick up from your mistakes and come out stronger. Every communist meme is about "WAAAAH I FAILED WHY ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT HELPING MEEEE??!" is literally the same thing as demanding we put in place the old feudal system of nobility to rule over commoners so no one "fails". Exactly the system Edelgard is against.
it doesn't matter what you say because people get angry at her for starting a war they'll act like she's being tricked and ISN'T aware that TWSITD are trying to manipulate her even though she outright is making moves against them and pushing boundaries when she can her motives against rhea are petty because she feels abandoned by the goddess, which rhea's religion teaches Sothis protects everything that is "beautiful", and thinks that since she was not protected and her siblings died that it's implicit approval of TWSITD's actions from Sothis this childhood trauma leads her to declare sothis unworthy as a goddess, a "false" goddess she claims, and makes her view everything the church does in a hyper critical fashion since she already has this bias against the religion and sothis, as well as the crests which were stated to be "gifts" from the goddess and her kin, she sees the shitty people who exploited the church as simply more implicit approval via rhea and thus caused by rhea She's a traumatized teenager doing her best in a world of magic and miracles to deal with shapeshifters who keep wanting to direct the course of humanity as a whole her suffering paints her world view and she has only hubert to rely on and so she's understandably wary about trusting literally anybody especially since she knows her uncle had been replaced and was responsible for manipulating dimitri she was resigned to failure, in a way, and you can see this when she sees the power of the "goddess" manifests in byleth. the japanese dub has her take a long, exasperated sigh like her last bit of hope was snuffed out. she wants someone to reach for her hand not because she wants to be saved but because she's too scared to reach her hand out first she ponders this very idea when hubert chastises her for even considering trusting byleth and other people in general tl;dr all her characterization gets ignored because she hurt people's feelings by giving them war in a war game
Angel Martinez
filthy (((nabatean))) lies
Christian Edwards
I hope you gave a cake to her on her birthday Bernieanon.
it's because they were intent on ending the route on fire emblem's anniversary with the slaying of an at that point evil dragon for a classic feel hell, byleth even sort of looks like a reinvented marth and the Sword of the Creator is just a boney whip version of Falchion
>argue with her and present ideas contrary to her own >REEEEEEE HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT >[good boy points have been subtracted] lmao
Ryan Scott
just because she doesn't like something doesn't mean she isn't listening are you only going to criticize her for this or ignore the fact literally every character follows this same mechanic and thought process
Juan Morgan
>puts only her friends in major positions of power, regardless of how unqualified they are
Jaxson Hernandez
She's right you know. Only trannies who don't study history disagree with her.
i mean rhea does kind of not trust humanity, wants her mom to rule over them, and has really lavish/opulent luxuries throughout garreg mach
Ethan Bell
We've been over this for nearly two years now. The only one who was right all along and the only person of sound mind was Seteth and the other leaders are retarded children with too much power.
If Edelgard was a man, I doubt she'd get shit on by the fanbase at large as hard. Waifufags don't like flawed girls unless they're done really well but yumejoshi eat that shit up like candy. Look at Dimitri. Only downside is she'd lose her strong lesbian fanbase.
Yeah she doesn't believe in the power of people if anyone is a commie it's dimtir
Isaac Howard
if edelgard was a man, she'd be Walhart but instead of just going "fuck you and the god you worship I do what I want, come at me bro", he'd instead try to gain sympathy for his murders and also be mostly defined by wanting to fuck Corrin.
If Edelgard was a man then she'd have barely any defenders at all because 90% of her fans just like boobs
Brayden Richardson
She is imperialist and people will call her a fascist because current politics and she wears red. Don't know if you're baiting or not, but it's sad people will completely rag on her ideas because they dislike her even when Claude acknowledges that her system is alot better than their current one
Liam Wilson
>look at Dmitri You mean the man who acknowledged how crazy he got?
Eli Lee
You basically just described Dimitri towards the end of Azure Moon.
Daniel Perez
How are you supposed to relate to someone who shuts everyone out? She can't even treat lysithea as an equal despite going through the same trama.
You mean the man who actively does not want sympathy, isn't a conqueror, and only fought in retalliation? Do you not know who Walhart is?
Samuel White
*padded chestplates
Jaxson Clark
Give a single example of this.
Juan Anderson
I was really making a jab at the "mostly defined by wanting to fuck Corrin" thing but if you insist: yes you're right, Walhart and Dimitri have almost nothing in common.
Hudson Ramirez
If Edelgard was a man she'd be one of the worst male villains in the entire series. Even fucking Arvis's actions and motivations make more sense and are more consistent than Edelgard's. Hell, even fucking Zephiel's plan makes more sense in terms of putting everyone on an equal playing field like Edelgard wanted, and his plan was literally just "open up a portal and let dragons rule everything"
Oliver Evans
Dimitri fangirls would like a word with you
Logan Howard
>Seteth That's a funny way of spelling Claude. Seteth may have a decent head on his shoulders, but that doesn't stop him from following Rhea's orders, even when he thinks she's being crazy.
Angel Bailey
Caspar actively does not want to have his father's job and says himself that he is better suited to just go out and fight dudes.
Alexander Richardson
>In 1177 they voted The Abyss as the worst place to live in all of Fodlan. >Main issues? >Sky high rate of violence. >And more people living below the poverty line than anywhere else.
>Can't deny it, it's all true... >but people still want to live here. >The Abyss always has a promise for you. >Might be a lie, an illusion >but it's there... >just around the corner >and it keeps you going.
>It's a place of dreams... >And I'm a big dreamer.
Wrong. If Edelgard was a man (or even just not a lesbian romance option) Zig Forums would love her.
William Butler
Ironically, I didn't hate the Flame Emperor and didn't believe they were a bad person while not knowing for sure that it was Edelgard. You can easily say that the same for literally any attractive character when Dimitri and Claude are loved just as much. Claude doesn't even do anything in his own route
Tyler Gray
>manlet >communist >bisexual >fedoratipper >has to compete with mommy Rhea imagine being this delusional
Charles Perry
To be honest, I only agreed with her to get into her pants.
Samuel Jenkins
Dropped this a few months back because I was bored out of my mind with the school stuff. How feasible would it be to beat the game on Hard and only do the school bits once or twice a month?
Dimitri more or less had a prolonged psychotic break and got stuck in the downward cycle. Edelgard's malice is calculated. An important distinction, but girls like both for some reason as long as the guy's hot.
Ian Howard
Male Edelgard wouldn't be bisexual. Can't have a male main character fuck dudes.
Claude was sane but I can't stand it when his fans think that automatically means he's a good person.
Alexander Ross
>full conqueror I wish that would've been Edelgard's actual route. Better yet, forget Edelgard and have a full conqueror Bandit King (First of his Gains) route where you somehow free him and smack everyone's shit. It would actually make it feel like an old Langrisser game.
Caleb Russell
Because Zig Forums only know Nazis and Commies
Owen Gray
not hard. You can arguably just do one of the other things like the teaching thing which takes your entire day and gives you some weapon mastery. No need to do the daily school stuff unless you want to get supports
Eli Morgan
Bernadetta the hikki Caspar who put his pitiful stats in STR instead of critical thinking and doesn't like leading jobs Linhardt who does not want to do his father's work Ferdinand who actively opposes everything Edelgard does out of an inferiority complex Petra the political prisoner who just wants to go home Hubert the yes-man who does literally everything his lady asks him for the chance of sucking her toes Jeritza the literal schizo Basically her entire chuuni attack squad.
Ian Reed
Claude's whole plan is just him getting the fuck out.
Jonathan Cooper
Those are literally the same thing.
Ethan King
They could probably do that but having you make her do tthe "bad" decisions which kind of already exist in CF like killing Seteth and Flayne/Claude. It could be very easily done
