Text: (under the Fullmetal Alchemist picture)
The ending sucks!
It’s so unfeminist.
It’s way too grimdark.
The handling of the Ishvalans is problematic.

(under the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood picture)
Ending is heteronormative.
It’s so unfeminist.
It’s way too happy.
The handling of the Ishvalans is problematic.

(Between and below the images, in larger text:) Every time I see a criticism of one version by someone who clearly likes the other more, it always sounds ridiculously biased. No, you’re not giving a good critique, you’re bashing one to elevate the other.

I’m actually interested in comparing the two. I’ve just never seen a comparison that wasn’t clearly written with ulterior motives.

Conscious or not.

S!B: Like hell do I want to keep fighting this battle. It was old five years ago.

And it’s not a fucking contest. You don’t win a prize for liking the “better” version.

And even worse, it sometimes smacks of a proxy for ship wars. I loathe ship wars.
