Look, you said that she has no significant emotional life not related to men and I pointed out that's untrue and then you moved the goalposts and argued something completely different so I'm not interested in back and forth on those terms.

I agree Winry was shortchanged by the final arc in the sense that she was barely in it, but that is once again a completely different argument. I'm sorry you were disappointed.

Okay, that's fair. I don't see her relationship to the Elrics as a flaw (to me the whole aesthetic of FMA is about the importance of personal relationships, which is why I don't have any fundamental problems with Riza/Roy either), but I would not have objected to seeing more of Winry having all kinds of awesome girl-centric adventures in Rush Valley, either.

Yeah, I do understand the impulse to beef up the women's relationships -- there's such a lot of fanwork about Riza & Rebecca Catalina's friendship, for instance, when they really only have 1 scene where it's not at all clear that they actually get along. I tend to see this more as a structural issue with the story rather than an issue with the characters themselves, but I understand it as a complaint.
