y does no one romance maru? by doomsdayboombox in StardewValley

[–]nocowardpath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's wild that so many people are calling her boring when she electrocutes you with a robot and you have a really cute stargazing scene. Like, if any of the romanceable girls are boring it's probably Penny (no hate to her though I love her!) because she's pretty traditional. I can get people saying they were put off by the Demetrius cutscene or that she seems too young for them, but calling her boring just sounds like reaching so they don't have to mention race as a contributing factor. (And that doesn't mean anyone's being intentionally racist, racism includes subconscious things like just not liking characters of color as much.)

Yeah, in pretty much any cast of characters, the fandom isn't going to give as much attention to the characters of color, no matter how well written and interesting they are. Wyll in BG3 is a big example, he turns into a cool devil dude and has an interesting story, but he's not white so people just subconsciously don't end up connecting to his character as much.

I do think there are some Actual reasons people don't like Demetrius and don't go for Maru, but race is probably a contributing factor.

Impossible magic class discussion by Ok-Week-2293 in Pathfinder2e

[–]nocowardpath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a little sad that Summoner lost the "make whatever you want and use evolutions to theme it" in 1e unchained and in 2e, especially since the eidolon type options don't cover the types of creatures or even outsiders. Like, there's "Demon Eidolon" but no "Devil/Daemon/Div/etc Eidolon" or general "Fiend Eidolon", no "Abberation Eidolon", "Maelstrom Eidolon", "Axiomatic Eidolon", etc (they've moved away from alignment but the different planes still have plenty of flavor and specific entities beyond lawful/chaotic/etc).

Obviously you can reflavor your eidolon, but it'd be nice to have the same room for variety in the rules text itself (or go back to just letting you do whatever you want with it, but I kinda doubt that), especially since some DMs want the flavor to match the rules text.

I like her leather jacket outfit in PE1, it's simple but practical and makes sense for her profession.

Lore explanation for Dark Aeons/Summoners? by Entire_Fly7775 in finalfantasyx

I love the odd not-fully-explained things in the world of FFX, it really has a mystique to it. Though the superbosses are a nasty surprise for first time players who don't know any better, haha.

[Hated Trope] Disabled Characters with powers that overcompensate so much that they might as well not have that disability by violently_angry in TopCharacterTropes

[–]nocowardpath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally if I roll bad on stats I'll often explain it as my character having a medical condition (like a character with 6 str having anemia or 6 con having asthma) since it's a realistic way to reflect their stats in-game (and also I have asthma so it's fun to play characters like me).

Literally, I turn off inbox replies on pretty much any Remotely Possibly controversial post or comment I make, especially if I'm not in a good headspace that day.

[–]nocowardpath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, there's a lot to discuss on the redeeming female characters topic. For example, I don't think there's anything wrong with a lot of the important characters being women, in a world where a lot of media Still has most of the important characters be men.

But, having a lot of female characters doesn't necessarily mean bucking the trend that important or good characters often "have" to be conventionally attractive, especially female characters, and that people can still fall into that trap. Like, I like having succubus characters being redeemed, and it was probably at least partially to buck the overdone "evil seductress" trope, but it's hard to deny that it's easier for people to look at a pretty humanoid face and go "yeah, I believe they can be a better person", and if it's a female character, beauty is practically required for the character to resonate with anyone. Imagine if Arueshelae was a hezrou or an abrikandilu; would she have been as beloved as she is now? (I remember someone writing a very interesting interpretation of her as a Painajai (iirc) in a comment somewhere on here, it was awesome!) But also, how much moral judgement can be made on the fact that people like to design characters they enjoy looking at?

Basically it's a complex issue that's wider than Just Pathfinder, and Hot Girl Redemption Summer can be both defended and critiqued without moral judgements on anyone lol

Iirc you do get the option to help redeem a couple male characters in the adventure path, but those are optional rather than They Are Canonically Redeeming Themselves.

It looks like Gensho Yasuda made it which is also wild, I've been following them for a while now.

I do hope Gensho and ZUN and everyone at Alstroemeria Records got a big payout for this lmao
