Why So Much Rape in Stormblood

[Mahri]

I would 'really' hesitate to throw it around here

I wouldn't.

It's there.

It should be called out.

This is a critique. It's a very, very fair one. If you don't like the term "fridging", okay. You don't have to like it. It's nothing more than jargon for a storytelling device that is frequently a problem. I'm going to repeat what that problem is, for the sake of total clarity:

It's inflicting something on an out-of-focus female character for the sake of tragedy that primarily affects an in-focus male character.

Please remember that critiques are not condemnations.
