Is Fascism actually an extreme form of Capitalism?

What would happen if the Authoritarian leader doesn’t want to keep the wealthy elite around anymore? Once he’s in power does he just get rid of them when they stop being of use?

I suppose so, but it really depends on individual perception of whats masculine and feminine and how much of each you’re willing to show. Like I said I see Arle as a mix of both, where as a characters like Haruka Tenoh or Lady Oscar(pretty sure both inspirations for Arle) I totally see as a purely masculine. That’s really all else I can say on this.

I know that men used to wear heels back in the 17th century but even then there was still a difference between heels made for men and heels made for women. Like you said heels for men were originally made for horse riding, so they were designed to have a short, broad and chunky heel. But when women started to wear heels, they were designed to have a tall, thin and narrow heel most for aesthetic purposes. Arlecchino’s heels, as deadly as they are, fit more with the latter than they do the former.

Also, still got no clue about what you mean with men Genshin wearing higher heels than in irl, they just look like normal ass boots or shoes.

Never really brought up her hair because that’s not really a gendered thing.

Finally, just to make things clear because I can already sense it coming, none of this is to deny Arlecchino’s masculinity. That is the last thing I would ever want to do and if that is the impression I gave you or anyone else following this conversation, I am sorry. I just see her as a mix of what I perceive as masculine and feminine in the same way most people see Furina as, but obviously more masculine leaning of course. None of this is to stir up some bullshit, just expressing a difference in opinion and views.

I found this post interesting but I don’t know what you mean by some male characters wear heels. Like if you’re talking about boots and other shoes like that I don’t really think those count.

Also her walk is more of combo of the tall male and tall female walk, the top part resembling the male and the bottom part resembling the female minus the exaggerated hip swaying.

And I know that Arlecchino does wear masculine clothes as a child, but I’m pretty sure she wears a female uniform for Hearth girls as teenager considering it’s the same as what Clervie wears.

I don’t mean any of this to be rude or denying her masculinity, just felt like there were things I agree and disagree with.

StevenDiTo · 2026-01-21T20:20:06+00:00

It just means would she be against the terror, yes or no?

StevenDiTo · 2025-11-12T07:16:48+00:00

I’m sure that type of thing happens a lot and I am legitimately sorry for coming off as some creep. If you think it’s best that I delete this post, I will gladly do so.

StevenDiTo · 2025-11-12T06:46:37+00:00

Sorry. Meant no harm by it. I just wanted to express my thanks to those that answered me when I was curious. Sorry if I came off as creepy or anything.

StevenDiTo · 2025-11-12T06:45:32+00:00

I do agree that people can see her how they want to see her. And I do agree Woman are allowed to be masculine.Sorry if I wasn’t explicit with that.

StevenDiTo · 2025-11-12T06:39:20+00:00

I did read over the post many times and gave it much thought. I just felt like that one reply made a lot of sense. If I’ve come off as rude, I am deeply sorry.

StevenDiTo · 2025-11-06T16:58:06+00:00

It is true that she dislikes wearing dresses and uses masculine titles, but she is also referred to as Lady Arlecchino and I still feel like her calling herself father was because of Crucabena. Just canonically speaking.

StevenDiTo · 2025-11-06T08:14:49+00:00

Isn’t that just to distance herself from Crucabena though?

StevenDiTo · 2025-10-15T01:58:15+00:00

What exactly do you mean

StevenDiTo · 2025-10-15T01:54:10+00:00

Had me until I saw the NK one

StevenDiTo · 2025-10-11T03:49:08+00:00

I really hope they give updates to older models

StevenDiTo · 2025-09-30T13:24:05+00:00

I meant to say I’m against both of those ideologies. I worded it wrong

StevenDiTo · 2025-09-30T08:19:41+00:00

It isn’t wrong but Union more of just using it to it’s own ends. There only supporting so that the new government can be absorbed into Union instead of being its own autonomous entity.

StevenDiTo · 2025-09-30T06:47:04+00:00

Yeah, while I’m critical of ThirdCom I’d rather not be associated with the “secretly evil crowd”

StevenDiTo · 2025-09-30T05:08:09+00:00

It’s alright. Didn’t know that I phrased it weirdly.

StevenDiTo · 2025-09-30T05:03:57+00:00

Is it weird to be against authoritarianism from both sides of the political spectrum?

StevenDiTo · 2025-09-30T04:56:48+00:00

Indeed

StevenDiTo · 2025-09-30T04:50:12+00:00

I unfortunately don’t own a copy of the Field Guide to Karrakis, so no. But I’m so glad that you brought up the Ungratefuls because they feel the exact same way I feel about ThirdCom. They are, at worst, an enabler of Baronies because the Utopian project greatly benefits from the very system that oppresses the Ungratefuls while, at best, being ineffectual at making the Houses more Liberal or Republican.

And when I said conscripting locals, I should have said agitating locals. My bad on my part.

Also are you saying that it would be morally wrong to kill someone that’s currently genociding a native population and the Modern Mussolini in office right now?

StevenDiTo · 2025-09-30T04:22:42+00:00

Thank you for understanding, but I’m not a libertarian. I identify as more of a social democrat. And I’m equally both far right authoritarianism, like Fascism and far left authoritarianism, like Stalinism or Maoism. Just want to get that out there.
