I am going to delete all the dumb, aspergers worthy discussion threads.

this is not the place for talking about butts and farts and shrimp. take that to your plurk or rpanons.

also, to anyone in that plurk because i know you're furiously f5ing this meme and shlicking to the idea of being namedropped, maybe you should stop blaming the hate meme and start blaming the two-faced bitches you associate with who leak your private shit.

hth, mouthbreathing motherfuckers.

Also, she had a tendency to very, very obsessively connect to the characters she played, and their lives often paralleled hers, so I think she was very offended when people portrayed characters she ID'd with as lesbians.

That's exactly it. Apparently she was a tomboy growing up and had a lot of people calling her a lesbian or whatever so she got (gets?) SUPER MAD about people portraying less feminine women as lesbians. Because apparently this is a comment on her sexuality itself and/or it would be just so awful if a character she identified with was gay.

Sounds like someone needs to learn to tell the difference between fiction and reality. She's pushing 40. She should know better than getting hypersensitive about the sexualities of fictional characters.

Yeah, really. I can sympathize to a degree with her frustration at people going THEY MUST BE GAY for stupid and shallow reasons, but it's not like tomboyish lesbians don't exist. I should know, seeing as I am one.

[(Anonymous)]

I can sympathize too, at least at some level. It's a shitty thing to go trough and I'd be pretty frustrated as well. The way she acts out her frustrations though? Ranges from immature to completely reprehensible judging by the things that have been said here over the past month.

Yeah, it's shitty, but by the same token it bothers me that her response to receiving treatment that is ultimately homophobic is to shit bricks about the possibility that someone might see a character she likes as queer.

Confirming the tomboy thing. Additionally, you reminded me that she couldn't stand the idea of there being other female members of the Organization (nor Namine) because she didn't like the idea of Larxene being slashed with women, and she thought that the presence of other women cheapened how impressive Larxene was as the only woman in a big group of men. Larxene fit the tomboy thing.

Like the above anon said, she was also super against effeminate gay men and yaoi fangirls for a while, so I think it's more OH NO SOMEONE INTERPRETS A CHARACTER'S SEXUALITY DIFFERENTLY THAN I DO than anything.

Also, if they have displayed any kind of attraction to the opposite sex in canon, they are totally 100% str8 4 lyfe and playing them as the slightest bit queer is an affront to canon and you're probably a heterophobe because you wouldn't like it if someone played a canonly gay character in a straight relationship!! I don't know if she's grown out of that since I fell out of contact with her, but even if she has it's shameful that it took her 30-some years to do so.

doesn't firion have a canon love interest that's female though? in fact i think in the novelization he ends up with a woman at the end

Re: ayrt

[(Anonymous)]

I have no clue, honestly.

But I WILL say that I guarantee if it was someone else playing that ship, she would be throwing a fit about how OOC it is for Firion to have any kind of same sex attraction, especially if it somehow got in the way of a pairing she wanted to play. When she does it, though, it's just Kuja being an exception and of course she developed it well enough, unlike all those yaoi fanbrats that ship Axel with dudes.

So I guess I'll concede this point and say she's just a hypocrite in general.

This in a nutshell. Her hypocrisy knows no bounds.

This is from Firion's wiki, over the FF wikia:

In his Japanese NES profile, it is stated that Firion has a weakness for women, which could explain why he was so easily seduced by the Lamia Queen.

also:

In the novelization Firion and Maria end up together, although this is left ambiguous in the game.

So you're right on the fact that he does have a canon (female) love interest and ends up with one (if not the love interest) in the novelization.
