I simply cannot understand that kind of logic. Then again, there are also numerous FFXIV players who have accused those of us who question the way in which Venat was portrayed in Endwalker as hating women so I suppose none of these words mean anything anymore and thus whatever power they once held has been rendered moot.

In any case I know who to I will refrain from interacting with in the future, because I refuse to deal with posters who are going to hurl such accusations against me. I gave some suggestions as to who could be included to make this cast more likeable. There was nothing to derive any sort of offense from in that post. I despise the way that modern media has pushed the inversion of gender roles to the point where sticking to their original form is now considered outside the norm. The balance was offset, I say bring it back to a healthier state wherein there's enough give and take for both sides.
Aveyond, nobody's trying to make you out to be a villain. But when you come in making comments about "sticking to their original form", you're coming from a perspective that has been very damaging to anyone who acts outside of this idea. And this is not something pushed by the modern media. All throughout history there have been people who did not fit these societally proscribed gender stereotypes. Women especially have had to fight the idea that we have to be soft and gentle and can't be intelligent or assertive or we need to be "put in our place". Please, I beg you, think about the things you are saying and viewpoint that you're putting forward.
