fire emblem

as a fire emblem i can't blame you

the dwrp fandom is full of assholes, wankers, backstabbers, and all around undesirables

i've never seen a bigger group of mean girls before and they have zero qualms about descending in obnoxious groups and eating their own

tell me a crazy story, anon

yeah lets hear the crazy.

(hopefully inb4 it's just someone not liking edelgard tho. yawn.)

as if some of those people are not, themselves, massive wankers who've done way shittier things than not liking a character

no that's absolutely true. but the way fire emblem wank almost always dissolves into that (hating one of the main 3 hos) is a precedent you can't ignore.

no disagreement there, but ime it's never just not liking a character. people who have really strong feelings about any of the 3 hos can never just stay in their lane, they have to go out of their way to bully and wank on anybody who doesn't feel the same way

for sure. I'm not sure why people can't get along (this coming from someone who ships all three hos together in different fashions so I suppose I don't count much) but it's the lowest quality ammunition for their fighting to get crotchety over shipping or even just not liking a character someone else does. So they fuel all of it into petty little fights that cause wankslosions eventually.

in hindsight i think its just the structure of the game. dwrpers tend to get overinvested in their favs and when you combine that with a faction game where everyone has sympathetic motives for what they're doing it's a recipe for wank

if 3 hopes is a true golden route maybe it'll deflate some of the tension but im not "hopeful" lol

this is so boring and reasonable

some tumblr antis tried to get indie creator Dana Rune kicked off Arcana for making a Corrin/Ryoma/Xander shipping zine years ago.

omfg.

imagine not shipping xander/ryoma/corrin

it was more "she's shipping psuedo-incest and making money off it so let's ruin her career" but yeah, the game throws it at you and sadly it may be a million years before we get poly shipping enabled in an FE game

Yeah I was joking lmao

I wish there was poly in fe but only because I would make dimitri edelgard and claude all kiss each other

oh god if only, they were my first poly ship before I actually knew anything about the game

i'm hoping three hopes (lol) is a golden kind of ending where byleth fixes things and everything can be happy!! and dimiclaudelgard can hold hands for real

meaner group of big girls

me too anon

I swore off games because of it

I play my FEs on memes and that's it... Too nervous to try and join a game because of either casts being weird or because of the reputation of them in games. It's sad because I love my femblems with all my heart but I don't have the energy to deal with the nonsense lol.

too bad all the 3hs posting on bakerstreet are shit tier

i absolutely love fe3h but joining a cast was THE WORST decision i ever made, and that's including having played in multiple kingdom hearts casts before

if you are who i think you are i hope you've done some introspection on your role in things and cut ties with your shitty, wanky friends. i want to give you the benefit of the doubt and believe you weren't actively wanking but you were definitely enabling it.

if not, yeah, me too

wtf lmao

I have no idea how plays from kh and fire emblem is considered identifiable info, feel like that's a good 10-30% of people in dwrp.
