The more that time goes on the more this picture encapsulates my existence.
@Echigo I don't acknowledge Xenoblade 2 "fans" who bitch about the fanservice as fellow fans.
>complaining about fan service in the game where you collect waifus
That's like a teetotaler complaining about a bar serving alcohol.

@beardalaxy @SpurgAnon @ChristiJunior @Hoss @Echigo @ArdainianRight I love seeing their reactions. They keep on making Xenoblade look like the most based franchise.

@xianc78 @beardalaxy @SpurgAnon @ChristiJunior @Hoss @Echigo Xenoblade X pushes multiculturalism super hard and Elma is a dirty space Jew. I enjoy the games and of course I'm going to play up their better aspects, but saying it's "based" as a whole wouldn't be quite accurate.
@ArdainianRight @xianc78 @Echigo @Hoss @SpurgAnon @beardalaxy Eh, X is still sometimes willing to present the Xeno migrants in a bad light and give a somewhat fair hearing to even a genocidal anti-Xeno extremist. Elma's comments about humanity also get some pushback from a major character, and despite the NoA censorship the game actually has the most revealing female outfits of any game in the series. It's the most pozzed Xenoblade game overall, but still no worse than a -2/+1 on my scorecard.
@ChristiJunior @Echigo @Hoss @SpurgAnon @beardalaxy @xianc78 Xenoblade generally tends to be pretty fair to its antagonists, who usually at least sort of have a point.
@ArdainianRight @Echigo @Hoss @SpurgAnon @beardalaxy @xianc78 Xenoblade characters are consistently treated with empathy and some level of respect even if they're killed off, unless they're truly irredeemable moustache-twirlers like Metal Face and Consul D. And even those characters are pure Love to Hate, not strawman characters meant to discredit some sort of political ideology or IRL low-status group (N incel memes notwithstanding).
@ChristiJunior @Echigo @Hoss @SpurgAnon @beardalaxy @xianc78 Egil, for example, believes with good reason that his actions are the only way to defeat the evil that threatens to exterminate everyone, so he can at least save a few, then as soon as he becomes aware of a credible alternative instantly teams up with the good guys.
