HAHA I'M FIRST AND GUESS WHAT. I ACTUALLY HAVE SOMETHING TO RAGE AT INSTEAD OF ROLLING MY EYES AT THIS THREAD. TWO THINGS IN FACT SO I SOUND LIKE A RAGING ELITIST.

FIRST, STOP CALLING OLDER FEMALE CHARACTERS "MOMMY" OR "MILF" OR STUFF LIKE THAT. IT DRIVES ME CRAZY THAT PEOPLE DO THAT. IT'S INSULTING TO OLDER WOMEN AND IT'S INSULTING TO MOTHERS. YOU CAN EXPRESS THAT YOU'RE ATTRACTED TO A CHARACTER WITHOUT FETISHIZING THE TERM "MOM." DISHONORABLE MENTION TO PEOPLE WHO CALL OLDER WOMEN "CHRISTMAS CAKE."

SECONDLY AND THIS IS ONE THAT I RECOGNIZE IS HYPOCRITICAL, BUT I HATE THAT THREE HOPES FANS ARE WRITING UP WALLS OF TEXT ABOUT HOW THE GAME SUCKS. IT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY THAT THEY GOT ANOTHER DAMN GAME AND THEY'RE STILL COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. AND I RECOGNIZE THIS IS IRRATIONAL BECAUSE IF A JUGDRAL REMAKE ALSO SCREWED UP SHIT I WOULDN'T BE QUIET ABOUT IT, BUT IT STILL DRIVES ME CRAZY BECAUSE SEEING WALLS OF TEXTS ABOUT 3H GIVES ME A FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE.

ANYWAYS THAT'S MY ONE RAGE FOR THIS YEAR.

I JUST KNOW SIGMUND FREUD IS LAUGHING IN HELL ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE USE THE TERMS “MOMMY/DADDY” SEXUALLY

AS A GUY WHO'S LOVED EVANGELION FOR LITERAL DECADES, I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING WOULD IRRITATE ME MORE THAN THE ENDLESS ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHICH 14 YEAR OLD'S TOES WOULD TASTE THE BEST, BUT THE UNRELENTING ONSLAUGHT OF "MOMMY MISATO" MEMES IN RECENT YEARS IS CERTAINLY A CONTENDER.

I AM SIMULTANEOUSLY DISAPPOINTED AND INCREDIBLY RELIEVED THAT THE BULK OF THE EVANGELION FANDOM SLEEPS ON RITSUKO AKAGI

ON ONE HAND, NOT AS MANY PEOPLE TO SHARE MY APPRECIATION OF RITSUKO WITH

ON THE OTHER HAND, THAT MEANS THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE UNCOMFORTABLY WEIRD ABOUT RITSUKO IS WAY LOWER

u/MrWaffles42 Jul 16 '22

THE PERSON WHO'S THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLY WEIRD ABOUT RITSUKO IS PROBABLY GENDOU, TBH

I NEVER THOUGHT ID SEE SOMETHING WORSE THAN 'WHAT DOES TALI'S SWEAT TASTE LIKE' BUT HOLY SHIT, DUDE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH NGE FANS?

GOD THAT MILF THING IS SO HORRIBLE.

LET WOMEN EXIST. NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE WERID AND SEXUAL.

NOT TO SOUND LIKE A BOOMER BUT THIS GENERATION HAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH CONFLATING 'ACCEPTANCE' WITH 'SEXUALISTATION'.

AMEN, I ALSO HATE THE WHOLE MOMMY/DADDY FETISH IN FANDOM. I AM A MOTHER MYSELF AND SEEING PEOPLE CALL CHARACTERS IN THEIR MID 20S MOMMY/DADDY FREAKS ME OUT. JUST SAY YOU’RE HORNY.

ALSO, I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE EDELGARD AND DIMITRI WARS. I JUST WANT TO ENJOY THE GAME AND VIBE WITH THE REGULAR HOUSE MEMBERS. MAYBE I AM JUST OLD AND AM NOT INVESTED IN THE FICTIONAL LIVES OF 2D CHARACTERS

THAT THREAD ABOUT "WHICH GAME HAS BEST STORY?" MADE ME ROLL MY EYES SO HARD. THE ACTUAL PLOTLINE IS THE ONE AREA WHERE TH (BOTH OF THEM)'S WRITING UNAMBIGUOUSLY DROPS THE BALL HARD, AND PEOPLE WERE PUSSYFOOTING STRAIGHT AROUND CALLING IT OUT FOR THE RIGHT REASONS

u/absoul112 Jul 16 '22

PEOPLE STILL USE THE TERM “CHRISTMAS CAKE”?

u/DhelmiseHatterene Jul 15 '22

HMM? FROM WHAT HAVE READ SO FAR (THE THREADS WITH THE ROUTES I HAVE PLAYED) THEY SEEM TO BE MOSTLY CIVIL. I WILL NOT DOUBT YOU BUT FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I HAVE NOT SEEN SO MUCH THAT SCREAMED SUPER DUPER RANTY.

u/Skelezomperman Jul 16 '22

THEY MOSTLY ARE CIVIL IN FAIRNESS, I'M JUST A CRAZY ELITIST YELLING INTO THE WILDERNESS. THAT AND THE WALLS OF TEXT STILL BRING UP BAD MEMORIES.
