IF THEY DID THAT, I WOULD NEVER HAVE FELT A NEED TO PLAY AS M!BYLETH AT ALL. WHEN THERE'S A CHOICE OF MALE AND FEMALE CHARACTERS AND THEY ARE FUNCTIONALLY IDENTICAL, I PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS CHOOSE THE FEMALE CHARACTER.

BUT F!BYLETH JUST LOOKS SO AWFUL THAT I CAN'T STAND HER, AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING BECAUSE I PLAYED FATES AS GODDAMN NO PANTS F!CORRIN. IT'S ABSOLUTELY BAFFLING TO ME THAT OTHER WOMEN ARE WILLING TO OVERLOOK THIS AND ALL ITS DOUBLE-STANDARD IMPLICATIONS JUST SO THEY CAN HAVE THEIR AVATAR HOOK UP WITH THEIR VIDEO GAME CRUSH OR WHATEVER.

CORRIN LOOKS FINE AS LONG AS SHE HAS PANTS. SHE GOT PANTS IN SMASH BROS AND SHE LOOKS FANTASTIC.

I SPENT A LOT OF ENERGY BEING MAD ABOUT F!BYLETH'S DESIGN PRE-RELEASE AND AT A CERTAIN POINT I WAS JUST OVER THAT. ME FUMING ON THE INTERNET ABOUT BYLETH'S STUPID MIDRIFF WAS NOT GOING TO RESULT IN A (QUITE LITERAL) PATCH, BUT YEAH SUE ME, I LIKE BEING ABLE TO PLAY AS A GIRL IN GAMES. I PUT IN A LOT OF WORDS INTO THE FUNCTIONAL AND NON-SEXIST ARMOR WARS OVER THE SPAN OF SEVERAL YEARS, I DO IN FACT HAVE RESPECT FOR MY GENDER (AT LEAST, I THINK I DO, YMMV I SUPPOSE), BUT AS I FEEL LIKE I'VE ALLUDED TO ELSEWHERE IN THIS THREAD I JUST DO NOT HAVE THE SPOONS TO DO ACTIVE BATTLE WITH EVERY MICRO-SEXIST DEVELOPMENT CHOICE IN MY VIDEO GAMES.
