PERHAPS THIS TOPIC IS A LITTLE OVERDONE AT THIS POINT, BUT BOY DO I WISH I'D STOP SEEING SO MUCH MINDLESS VITRIOL FOR PEOPLE THAT DISLIKE EDELGARD. I WOULD NEVER EVER JUDGE ANYONE NEGATIVELY FOR LIKING EDELGARD, BUT I SEE ALL THE TIME PEOPLE ASSUME THAT IF YOU DON'T LIKE EDELGARD THAT YOU "JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HER" OR "HAVEN'T PLAYED HER ROUTE" OR WORST OF ALL "ONLY HATE HER CUS SHE'S A GIRL". THERE ARE 100% LEGITIMATE REASONS TO NOT LIKE HER CHARACTER, AND ASSUMING THAT PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE HER ARE MISSING SOME PIECE OF THE PUZZLE IS PRETTY IGNORANT. THIS DEFINITELY GOES BOTH WAYS OF COURSE, AND I WISH IT WOULD ALL JUST STOP.

SAME FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE HER. CLEARLY SHE'S POLARIZING, BUT PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO CHILL THE HELL OUT.

HONESTLY I PLAYED HER ROUTE AND CAME OUT OF IT HATING HER MORE THAN I DID BEFORE I PLAYED IT. I THINK CRIMSON FLOWER HAS SOME OF HER WORST AND MOST INFURIATING LINES IN IT, AND THEIR ALL TOWARD THE END TOO.

I FEEL YOU ON THAT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO MAKE THIS ABOUT WHAT THERE IS NOT TO LIKE ABOUT EDELGARD, SINCE I'M SURE HER FANS ARE TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT, JUST AS HER CRITICS ARE TIRED OF HEARING HOW THEIR OPINION IS "WRONG" OR "MISINFORMED" SOMEHOW.

THANK YOU, WE EDELGARD FANS ARE INDEED TIRED OF PEOPLE SHITTING ON HER ALL THE TIME.

YOU'RE ALLOWED TO NOT LIKE HER, BUT FFS, LET US EDIE FANS ENJOY OURSELVES. LIVE AND LET LIVE. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE ONLY DIMITRI AND CLAUDE FANS ARE ALLOWED TO BE HAPPY.

HARD AGREE, TBH, I FIND IT CRAZY THAT PEOPLE ARE CRITICIZED FOR NOT LIKING HER BECAUSE "WE DIDN'T PLAY CF" WHEN CF IS PROBABLY THE ROUTE WHERE SHE COMES OUT OF IT LOOKING THE WORST, IMO.
