    A well-written look at the character and her themes indeed. Yotsuyu is one of my favourite ‘villains’ in the game, she made for a fantastic adversary and I really love the tragic way how her story ended (How I wish she could continue being there with Gosetsu...) I think people often underestimate or ignore just how well Stormblood dealt with the themes of oppression and imperialism. It’s one of the reasons why I rank it higher then the likes of Heavensward in fact. The whole game actually does a great job with that subject, from ARR to Endwalker. Sure it may not always hit the mark (It also likes to ignore or downplay alot of those issues which come directly from within Eorzea) but it does a better job then a good chunk of fantasy media which deals with the ‘invading nation’ trope.

    I think its more because your actions within said threads seem to very much point in a direction that says you are just using these minority groups as a shield to sew chaos and troll folk. Now do not get me wrong, I appreciate how at times it can lead to the most bigotted players to drop their masks and froth at the mouth, becomeing perfect candidates for ye old block list... but it also casts doubt on whether you actually stand for such things or if you are just as bad as those who openly decry LGBTQ+/race issues. It also makes such topics very hard to actually happen in meaningful ways without it melting into a toxic stew.
