I just know my 33 years of lived experience
I’m a black guy btw
Am I just “one of the lucky ones”?
Just say what you mean, not all of us are stuck in your coded language echo chamber.
Also I didn’t watch the new Star wars.
Do you know who Bob the Innkeeper is? The only innkeeper we ever need. Best innkeeper in your local village.
Rey Skywalker is associated with Mary Sue writing. The same issues as with Faerin.
Neat.
Yeah, this is what we call anecdotal.
We’re just making coded language turduckins at this point.

Yeah, you’re probably right
You’d most likely know better that me anyway
Because of your extensive research
No, I’m making it into a “people who have reasonable understandings and criticisms of narrative who are capable of elucidating why a certain character need not be fully fleshed out to be serviceable in a story” versus “Faerin Mary Sue DEI = Bad Writing” discussion. Is my position subjective? Sure. But I don’t see a more charitable or reasonable interpretation, and a lot of what I see in this thread supports my framing.

I’m afraid to ask but curiosity is my Achilles heel.
What are you talking about about?
I’ll look to the experts on racial inequality over a single WoW forum user who thinks his experience as a black person is absolute any day. Sue me.
It’s actually something you can find discussed on the internet.
She is not a well written character and you need to get comfortable with people actually stating that they don’t like her and what she represents in comparison to the older jedi characters.
This is the thing: It’s subjective.
I don’t know your stance on this, but she’s certainly no Veronica Mars, if you ask me.
I want a major patch devoted to playing her in a 3-4 hour long story mode that is unskippable.

No, because the writers clearly meant for this to be a ‘Strong Woman’ decision. How dare you suggest that missing an arm and an eye is detrimental to a medieval soldier? Why do you hate disabled people?
If it was truly a flaw they’d have a scene where she’s overpowered because of her disability followed by negative consequences - such as more of her forces killed or battles lost and cities burned.
But, no - she gains even more power and respect. Obviously, this was always going to be the case with this type of character.
You need to get comfortable with the fact that not everybody is going to understand what you’re saying when you speak through a filter that’s several fandoms deep.
It doesn’t make you more informed, it just makes your own words less clear.
Haven’t you seen the new trilogy? If so, then you likely don’t understand where the criticism comes from.
You seem to have a lotta knowledge. You should do some research on Bartender Bob. He’s favorable and touches our hearts in Hearthstone.
Just because someone has a view over another, doesn’t make the apparent offender a racist. That narrow minded thinking.
It is kinda funny how the people who know nothing about the story always seem to be the angriest about it

she is being forced that is obvious to everyone. the writting issues with characters personality shifts actually began around BFA with alot of the old writters gone the sylvanas going evil the other characters on horde doing the same as danath trollbane is doing a 180 on their personality it breaks immersion so bad who ever was incharge of the writting of those is making people like faerin and the legacy of arathor questline.

An “expert” on racial issues has no incentive to frame issues as racial to lend value to their expertise. Who’s going to consult a racial studies expert if there’s no racism?
How’s the left going to call people racist if they don’t champion bazaar racial equity campaigns that deserve the pushback they receive
It’s all just decisive crap meant to control, guilt and keep people mad at people. If you can’t see that without needing told it, idk what to else to say

Oh I can use this tactic too.
Just because a black person exists, doesn’t mean it’s dei.
See how constructive it is when we misrepresent the other persons statement into an easily countered argument?
