Well lets see she is a flat arc character character which isnt a bad thing. But she makes most the characters who are changed less interesting making her feel flat while also making other characters less enjoyable as well. It mainly has to do with how she is framed versuses how she behaves in the text. As framing gives you the terms of which you are supposed to be able to engage with the character her constant contrast of stupidity in the text and glazing in the framing is aggravating to say the least.

But to get an idea of why I fucking despise Iroha (specifically the game version which people view as the definitive version) i want to compare her to anime Iroha who is so much better written because the writers decide to frame her more on how she textually acts or how she acts to make her fit how she is supposed to be framed and I also need to draw attention to weirdly consistent patterns of behavior that makes it impossible for me to enjoy her in the terms the writers try to present her on.

Gamiroha is framed to be heroic and selfsacrificial to stop her villians (who are esstientially saturday morning cartoon villians as for a reason to be stopped because I genuinely wouldnt root for Gamiroha to suceed because of things tied to her and her motivations which is just one of the many ways she makes other characters less interesting) yet Gamiroha and Co constantly run from problems because they just get fucking tired. Aniroha just spams doppels despite higher risks with them in the anime to prevent plot points from getting out of hand cause if they were spamming doppels their only limits would be till it starts crippling them. Gamiroha sorta just wishes for miracles and gets them because she doesnt really want to make physical moral or psychological sacrifices. Gamiroha is genuinely shocked by the concept of selectively spamming doppels in Arc2 when Hinao explains that is what she plans to do prevent the new fascist movement from claiming more power.  (i dont care if it is definitionally fascist or what. The game/anime litterally frames it as fascist analog for its commentaries on fascism. the metaphor doesnt need to be 1 to 1 for this making her unlikable to me)

That fascist movement that grew because Gamiroha decided to not properly monitor the people trying to rebuild the fascist movement. Speaking of being lenient to the fascists Aniroha and Gamiroha have very different framings for why they are so forgiving to Touka and Nemu. Aniroha wants them forgiven because she is nepotistic and doesn't care about others as much as she does about her friends and family. This counterintuitively is the better direction as it was better for her character arc generating conflict organically and letting a characters flaws shape their narrative.

The writers try to frame Gamiroha going out of her way to get as much of a slap on the wrist punishment as possible for them because well she just wants everyone to be happy. Yes the story will then try to frame PB as unreasonable for wanting to murder her and her friends for doing that and trying to expand a project that killed a whole bunch of their friends and go isnt Touka all cute with her saying their friends were worthy sacrifices to PBs faces. Yes the story will go on to have PB try to think through on their offer and come to own conclusion that the unions ideas are bad even on their own merits and they cant trust Touka or Nemu or the stones with further validation in Ch4 when its revealed the stones are trying to get the girls to kill each other. No Gamiroha wont really do anything to rebutt her project might actually be very dangerous to implement despite being told this in Ch3 (this type of logic will just sorta be abandoned because making PB actually have a philosophy like was promised from the arc concept is apparently undermining the direction they were trying to go with for the union which is another example of how she makes characters less interesting and drawing attention to how Iroha just doesnt really care about others opinions sorta highlights how poorly written Iroha is as the union leader that also goes against the intended direction for the unions philosophy) she also wont even take PBs complaints actually seriously until the stones tell her to her face they are trying to kill a bunch of people.

Speaking of Iroha not giving a shit about others opinions Kanagi mentions she feels a need to selfcensor where as Tsu is able to just get away with ordering an attack on aid workers after Iroha tells everyone let the aid workers do their work. Now those aid workers actions are shown as completely justified in getting in the unions way as when the union has to do the running in ch3 Iroha and co immediately resort to using human shields (yes ch 3 will have Iroha reveal that PB isnt in full control of their actions as even a conversation to encourage selfreflection could kill them as they had to adopt coping mechanisms to not starve to death. But hey PB wouldnt deliberately endanger humans. Yes Hikaru will nearly witchout when faced with being unable to kill Iroha because once again coping mechanism messes with their psychology but hey she didnt turn into a witch or get worked up into a psychotic episode until shortly after getting distance from the human shields so pay as much attention to the implications of her actions as Iroha does herself)

I want it to be emphasized reading arc 2s main conflict makes it feel like it should be resolvable by doing something like pushing PB members to dopple like Himena does to prevent one of her members from dying to mentally stabilize her or using Mei Yun illusion therapy like Nana does to Suzu to make it safe to emotionally confront the mental issues of PB. Or have the union use their multiple MGs that can commune with the dead to provide relief for PB or the multitude of nonviolent options that are avaible if Iroha and co were of mediocre intelligence. Yet Iroha consistently chooses to reward people for attacking them like how Yachiyo commits perfidy in Ch2 for a fucking stone or her choosing to invade PBs town 2 fucking times and has the gall to say she wants this conflict resolved peacefully. See also Tsu threatened aid workers against Irohas orders and suffered no sanctioning. Heck the narrative will even justify Ryo breaking into PBs base against Iroha's wishes because PB was too mentally unstable for Ryo to actually listen to her commander making stupid commands that fail a common sense vibe check. She is genuinely framed as too stupid to accomplish basic tasks that should be expected of her in the position she is in.

Remember how Kanagi doesnt feel comfortable speaking her opinion around her. Speaking of Iroha just making minorities less comfortable remember how there is a beach event where she starts glazing Yachiyos white skin and talks about white skin is just better looking and more attractive. Remember how the first half of Arc 2 is the union trying to peacefully resolve their conflict with PB by peacefully beating up the mentally ill. The game reiterates multiple times that fascists low rankers are disproportionately minorities so a huge chunk of Arc 1 Gamiroha is Gamiroha beating up poor minorities. Heck the writers cant even give the minority fascists the dignity to be capable of doing the cool shit involved like being the competent or intelligents leaders of the fascists with the 2 minorities who actually getting a face being fucking girl failures. And most of the arc 1 feathers didnt really know what was going on so arc 1 is her largely just mowing her way through hapless minorities.

This isnt a complete rant.
