Re: What controversial fandom opinions do you have?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, when I was much younger first playing this game I thought the Gardens were awesome and I wanted to live in one so bad-- coming back to it now is like "wow holy shit they are definitely just kind of turning out very young soldiers into horrifying war conditions.

Like, I kind of want to go back to the Deling City thing with this: Squall during this entire part breaks my heart. He wants so badly to make sure Rinoa is safe and wants to go help her, but due to the whole child soldier thing he is almost physically incapable of breaking the mission to do so (which is sort of a double-edged sword in and of itself), and it rips him apart. If it wasn't for his friends helping him hammer out a quick compromise, I'm almost sure he would have pretty much just blue-screened. The kid is a mess.

I see your points but I can't help but think more people would still object to this dynamic if Squall was a female and Rinoa a male character.

That... seems like moving the goalposts a little? 'Cause I don't think it would honestly change very much-- an awkward girl blue-screening when she meets a cute boy that gets her to dance with him, who then inwardly freaks out only to end up caring very much for this boy's well-being the moment he's in danger? That's ship fodder in a neatly tied package, haha. People eat that shit up.

Or if you mean specifically the nudging of Squall's friends to get them together, I feel like you're assigning it a lot more weight than it actually has if you read something sinister in it when it's applied to a girl instead. They poke fun at Squall because they like him, and they know he likes Rinoa.
