See I don’t think that Caesar is homophobic I think he just tells people “guys don’t be gay that’s profligate activities” among other things to maintain control over the legion
Legion stuff is fun until you have some dude blabbering in your ear about “Caesar is right and he’s the only one who can save the Mojave and I’m a moron who believes a liar who admits to me that he’s a liar but I believe him anyway because, I must emphasize, I’ve never been touched by a woman lovingly before and I am stupid”
Caesar doesn’t genuinely believe in misogyny. I disagree that his charisma score and intelligence be so low because the way he implements control tactics over the entirety of the Legion is actually really smart when you get down to it.
To clarify before I start my inane babbling I’ve gotta tell y’all that I don’t like the Legion as a faction but as a story device they’re very cool. I’m also not a mysoginist. Granted I don’t think you’ll be able to get that impression of me from my rant but still I wanna make it clear that I hate the Legion as a faction 🙏🙏😘
Every member of the Legion who is a soldier is a slave. Slaves—obviously—do not like being slaves. If all of the Legion consisted of both women and men as soldiers on somewhat equal standing with each other, they would start discussing ways to get free. Naturally, of course, I’m sure there are discussions like this within the Legion already, but regardless. The act of making women seem unequal to men is a control tactic. People are desperate for any semblance of control in a powerless situation, therefore if there is a group that is even lower than they are, and they have their own control over them, they won’t want to give it up. A hierarchal system like this is a killer control tactic when utilized against a very large group of people. Women are stuck in place as lower than the lowest man, which means that the men have power over them no matter their own standing.
Competitiveness also comes into play here. With the rigorous competition within the Legion, you’ve got people who are not going to want to give up what power they have and attempt to escape, especially if that power took painstakingly long to get. A centurion who has worked for his position will not want to leave because he has control over every person lower than him. A recruit who has just been assimilated will not want to leave because even though he is new, he’s still got more standing than the highest ranking woman.
Of course, threats of violence help too, but that’s not what I’m focusing on t en
People seem to be discussing why Caesar has no concubines and I think that it’s, once again, because he gives no shits about misogyny. Like he views it as a useful tool but he understands damn well that women aren’t “naturally weak and subservient”. Otherwise he wouldn’t recruit a female courier. Also, the reason he has no real heir is because Caesar doesn’t care about the Legion after he dies. Bros a narcissist, as far as he gives a fuck, the Legion is only for him and it will stop existing once he dies. It’s not a matter of legacy, it’s a matter of fulfilling a need for power.
Riddle me this liberals if Caesar wants Arcade carnally why doesn’t he just make him not a slave anymore so they can both be consenting parties
I’m going to bring back cyber bullying, think it would be good for some of yall
