PROPAGANDA

Dimitri Alexendre Blaiddyd

PLEASE NOTE: THE MOD OF THIS TOURNAMENT HATES THIS PROPAGANDA! THEY BELIEVE THAT IT'S ACTIVELY LYING ABOUT THE CHARACTER AND COMING FROM A PLACE OF HATE FOR SAID CHARACTER INSTEAD OF THE FANDOM CULTURE SURROUNDING HIM. You have been warned

Why is this man so woobified. The literal whole point of him is that he's meant to be a bait and switch for the typical perfect fire emblem lord hero. He's a sadistic killer without a hint of mercy for a huge part of the story, he works with the dictator church without considering whether or not there's something wrong with it, and his route ends in him being just as much of an imperialist as the others (taking over the whole continent and being crowned its ruler), just by a different name. He's SO interesting and SO conflicted and yet it feels like 99% of the fandom can't look past "uwu emo sad boy :((( so damaged :((((" and completely disregards that he's just as brutal as the other main characters from any other route's perspective, that's the whole point of the game!

Yuno Kashiki

Yuno Kashiki is an 18 year old rental girlfriend and sexworker in Japan. She was incarcerated in Milgram for murder at the start of the series in 2020. Since then she has been repeatedly dehumanized by the fandom. Having her agency and statements on her own life overwhelmingly ignored in order to give her a sob story she has consistently rebuked at every turn. Stating from the beginning even if she had to beg for forgiveness like her life depended on it she would. However, it's simply been handed to her as the audience continually goes she was too young and stupid to actually be held accountable for her actions. The same audience that later tries to vote a 12 year old child abuse victim guilty because she has to learn her lesson and she knew what she was doing. Yes the fandom interprets the eighteen year old who chose to work in the profession they did simply because they wanted to something they have no qualms admitting as having less agency than the twelve year old. They treat her like a stupid baby who's only error was not knowing how a condom worked as a sexworker. They say her only crime is an abortion despite her overtly getting upset at other individuals alluded to be clients throughout her songs. Having the literal lyrics of her second song go, ""Poor naive little girl"? So off the mark, what's it to you? It's absurd. Like really who do you think you are? Don't weigh me meassure me against your morality. Just shut it, will you? You know it all." And "Carrssing me with your "good girl". Who needs your self-righteous pardon?" They're so committed to the abortion equating to the murder she's in here for idea that fans got mad at the writer for even writing it that way when at least several other very not fetuses are alluded to throughout her songs and at points literally shown. Her first song even highlighting her clients belongings throughout it with inverted coloring. But instead of thinking she may have just killed a client who was bothering her they've convinced themselves that she's just a silly little outlier who's not meant to be here because abortion isn't murder her body her choice which fair if it wasn't for the fact the only people putting it on the table to compare to murder is the audience themselves. Despite everyone else in here very literally killing actual people with lives, professions, etc as they frame her case as a feminism issue and say if you vote her guilty you just hate women or are anti-abortion. In response to the framing of her situation as she can hear the audiences thoughts on her she's only gotten more depressed and closed off as tge series has progressed blatantly stating to hurry all this up so she can go home. Because it doesn't matter what she says about her situation the audience and the guard by proxy will just end up creating whatever story they want about her so it doesn't matter she's over it. Which in all honesty fucking fair- Wouldn't anyone be after getting treated like that for going on four years.

She's far more morally grey than folks want to admit. She's not evil, not by a long shot, but she's not exactly innocent either. She's innocent of her (perceived) crime in her media, but in terms of her attitude and outlook on life, I feel people downplay her incredibly grey actions. She uses / used compensated dating as a way to feel "warm" without forming emotional attachments. She hasn't killed anyone, nor has she manipulated anyone into killing for her, but that's why she's a good representative of a more everyday morally grey person. Her actions aren't outlandish or extreme, and if anything she can fade into the background with relative ease, yet I still firmly believe she's morally grey. tldr; Yuno has far more depth than the (general) fandom sees her as having. She gets misrepresented and her voice as a character is often unheard.

Bracket A Round 1

Poll 11

Amedeo Kenzie (@arcaneyouth) vs. Sister Virtue - Theophania (@sistervirtue)

Amadeo Kenzie

He/him or it/its

Amedeo is a fucked up lil guy who has so many problems disorders. He loves love so much but never learned how love works so most people find him to be incredibly annoying! He's manipulated into hurting his friends by someone who told him she would help him with his friendship problems, but it only drove them away more, so much that he snapped and physically hurt some of them. So they left him. This made him useless to the person manipulating him, so she turned him into a demon, a mindless creature, and made him kill. He got better tho. He still has many problems disorders but he's getting therapy about it and is so sweet and kind now. I think he should win because he gives me massive gender envy and he's just like me fr fr. He's stupid as hell, he's slutty, he has committed atrocities, he gets beat up by a 7 year old, he's pathetic, he is a catboy, he's lovecore, he's my babygirl, he has a satisfying redemption arc but still he remains silly, every time people ask me about him I am typing for 2 hours, what else do you want

Sister Virtue - Theophania

she/her

She's a fallen angel who committed the ultimate blasphemy out of a deep love for all of humanity and who just wants to protect them but is also a smokin' truckin' fuckin' freak who fixes cars and uses Dr Bronners' 18-in-1. She's a milf she's an uncle she's a nun and most importantly she's an inverted Christ allegory. A nun who isn't rally a nun at all, with black hair that will perpetually suffer from looking like she cut it herself, one eye with eye bags for two, and a gauntness that makes her all angles. She's got a lined face and pale skin that discolors unevenly from all her time in the sun when she's not in uniform. Her fingernails are made of gold but the rest of her is just fleshy enough.

Bonney's propaganda contains mild spoilers

Mr. 2 Bon Clay (Baroque Works)

Wicca (Tonttata Pirates)

— She's cute, she's strong, and lived the Straw Hat's necessary nightmare of trying to get Zoro from point A to point B without getting lost

Jewelry Bonney (Bonney Pirates)

— Only woman in the Supernovas, one of the very few women captains we've seen, pink hair, rude, uncontrollable

— Manga spoilers but she's been through a lot!! The government forced her to become a pirate and she's doing her best!!!

— Girl with best appetite, beautiful and strong with trauma 👍

— I haven't actually caught up to where we really get to see her but she seemed neat in Sabaody and is named after one of my favorite irl pirates

PROPAGANDA

Jonathan Sims

Half the fandom will vilify him and call him stupid or an irredeemable monster for his choices, which he made because he was a little sneaky. The other half will woobify and baby him and act like he had no agency or choice in his actions and every other character is to blame for the consequences.

The classic monster/human struggle of finding one's humanity after doing unimaginable harm, Jon Sims is often morally misinterpreted as being a "good" or "bad" person, instead of someone who has done good and bad things in his very human experience of having the world's most toxic workplace and being in his 20s.

Fandom constantly asserts he’s done nothing wrong and can do no wrong however the entire podcast is about how trauma fucks people up. 4th season of the show spends a lot of time on him having a crisis about the morality of feeding off people’s fear in a way that deeply hurts them. Fandom ignores this season apart from to talk about how mean the others characters were to him in it. Characters he’s hurt are described by the fandom as ‘whiny’, ‘self-serving’, ‘a tantruming child’. He has a female narrative foil with a story arc that mirrors his. She is hated by much of the fandom

Wei Wuxian

Sooo many people think he's God's Perfect Little Boy or something but like. This man killed. This man literally tortured someone to death. Was it due to trauma? Sure! Doesn't fucking make it okay! And it's not like he shows true remorse for it either. As much as I love Wei Wuxian, he's not exactly the example of morally good/okay. (Can't say he's evil either though. Like. Look at all the good he did and tried to do in his life.)

He tortured a guy but he also did his best and got a second chance with a new life
