You Can't Call A Country When Damn Near Every Battle The Fight Is Won By Routing - Tumblr Posts
Conquest!Corrin: "I just feel so guilty when I kill Hoshidans in self defense. I want peace- I don't want to hurt anyone, but when other people I can't control murder the people I did everything in my power to protect, that's MY fault. Maybe those assassins are right, and I should just let them kill me..."
Birthright!Corrin: "Golly gee whiz, I sure am okay with going out of my way to slaughter Nohrians en masse!"
Fates has a clear message- violence is WRONG... when used against the "good guys". If you attack someone we say is good in self defense, you're a bad person and you should feel bad. You run into trouble with someone we say is bad because you break into a place with the intention to steal something you could probably easily buy? Just fucking murder EVERYONE. It's not like those guards were just doing their job before you showed up to steal from them. They're the BAD GUYS; their lives don't matter!
If a video game wants to say “violence is bad” they HAVE do it through gameplay, and not just cutscenes and dialogue.
