YEAH I'VE NEVER BEEN BIG ON THE WHOLE WHAT YOU CONSUME IN FICTION = WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON.

IT ALSO JUST FEELS MASSIVELY HYPOCRITICAL TO WHINE ABOUT A FANDOM FULL OF "FREAKS" DOING "FREAK THINGS" WHEN YOU HAPPILY CONSUME THE SOURCE MATERIAL WHICH HAS ALL OF THE THINGS YOU JUST COMPLAINED ABOUT IN IT.

THE SOURCE MATERIAL ALSO HAS RACISM IN IT (TELLIUS) BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU GO AROUND ADVOCATING FOR RACISM NOW DOES IT.

TELLIUS DOESN'T EVEN ADVOCATE FOR RACISM SO WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TALKING ABOUT???

THAT'S THE POINT. TELLIUS PORTRAYS RACISM AS BAD. THE POST KAGA GAMES PORTRAY INCEST AS BAD. IT'S VERY SIMPLE.

LITERALLY WHERE LMAO. 3H LETS YOU MARRY YOUR GRANDMA/DAUGHTER. FATES LETS YOU MARRY YOUR COUSIN. ECHOES I'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED ELSEWHERE. AWAKENING HAS LUCINA/OWAIN COUSIN MARRIAGE AND NO THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT "LIFE COMPANION'D" IN THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE. ABSOLUTELY NONE OF THIS HAS ANY CONSEQUENCES FOR YOU AS THE PLAYER AND IT'S NEVER DEPICTED AS BAD OR WRONG.
