Yotsuyu's story is a masterful postcolonial feminist critique of female oppression

If you bothered to read OP's source:



I don't come to the forums often but it seems like everyone is having a kneejerk reaction based on who the OP is? I feel like there's some context to why everyone is so hostile that I'm not getting.

Who is the OP? he is a known troll amongst alot of others and/or multiple accounts that brings up random topics that mostly range from lgbt just to stir the pot if you will. So when people see his name. We already know where this is going.

Brilliant analysis, OP.

Now, convince modern western women that this is how true female oppression works, and that their current views of a patriarchy are not only flawed, but indoctrinated by the very same people who couldn't care less about them.

Please get this woke postmodern Marxist dung out of video games. People like you literally see oppression racism homophobia blablabla in everything my god

Yotsuyu is literally about family values and loving your kids so they don't become monsters. What is this dung about feminism and postmodernism Im actually so pissed people like you are ruining gaming because developers are starting to add these things into games to appeal to the woke mob ugh

Well I don't know about all the Feminism and all that but her character is a little more deep than that My thoughts on her isn't family values or loving your kids. Its about you need understand and listen to someone when they cry out for help, don't use them and toss them around like trash. Maybe its my biase opinion but I feel like she was a character that shows what trauma does to a person, what it does to someone who isn't able to handle it so well. I feel like her character is like Sylvanas in warcraft, or Light yagami, Misa amane etc characters that honestly I would be best friends with probably in a psychward or out shopping. I also disagree with her being a monster she did what she had to in order to survive period. If anything the Domans are the monsters and savages.

Now taking a look at the second female, (cant spell her name but her character and depth was similar) watching her parents be killed and then being seen as a traitor when she honestly was bringing about justice against the savage ala...

She was married off, and then when her husband died she was prostituted off to pay for her dead husband's debts.

Meanwhile her brother Asahi was given every chance and opportunity to succeed.

We don't do this in the western world, but it's still done in some places sadly. It was practiced by most of the world at some point, and it's good to reflect on how we've improved the life of women. It's been a struggle.

It's also good to point out how Yotsuyu climbed the ranks to become the acting viceroy of Doma. There's a lack of kindness towards women in a lot of professional industries. Look at the leaders of the world in politics, look at the leaders of the world in business. Most of them are still men. Women have to work so, so much harder to progress up most professional ladders, and when we do often times we're considered cold because of how focused we are on making progress.

I thought so too. All and all it's a brilliant analysis by someone I wasn't expecting this level of insight from. I'd like to see more.
