(Anonymous) 2013-02-13 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)Anon is generally curious. If men and women can be friends, and just friends (though the majority often lacks the wide view to see it as just that) why is it problematic to expect the same for both two male and two female friendships?
Must there be some under lying physical tension between any gender character? In this Anon's eyes, Fire Emblem Awakening was more about the general, non-sexual bonds between people. As companions. Really. The only one whose marriage and child that mattered, in regards to the plot, was Chrom's.
I went through the effort of recruiting all the children and it had no real outcome to the plot. It's really just hints to the bad future in which you-know-who hailed from, and that might as well not exist the moment they've arrived from the past and worked at changing said future.
TBH, I think fandom expects too much catering about gay relationships from Fire Emblem. I love the series with all my heart, but they rarely handle it well in terms of realism and ways that's healthy for often one partner, or both of them.

(Anonymous) 2013-02-13 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)Thing is: I would agree with this, if it wasn't for the fact that in most media, two male and/or two female friends are almost exclusively just that. Friends. If a game has only friendships and no romantic relationships, I don't think it needs any same-sex romantic relationships either. If it does have romantic relationships, I think it's a pity that they're almost only female/male ones.
