I hate the attitude that so many people in the RDR2 fanbase have that gun = strong. When discussing the women - Abigail, Molly and Mary specifically here because they are who I was talking about when I was told these things - who are, to me undoubtedly, strong women who withstand horrible circumstances, I am told that no, actually, they’re not strong. Only women like Sadie are strong, or maybe Miss Grimshaw, on a rare occasion Karen, but always Sadie, because Sadie has a gun and she kills people with it.

I know I pin a lot of things on misogyny in this fanbase, but in a gaming space mostly full of men, you’re going to see a lot of it, and the way men and some women who like Sadie discuss her has always reeked of it to me. They reduce her down to only being a gun, taking away the actual depth and emotion of her character in favour of seeing her as one of the men, because she wears boy clothes and has a gun and she’s nice to Arthur, so she’s cool. Not like Molly who cries all the time and wants to die, not like Abigail who’s doing everything for a man, who aren’t strong at all despite what they have been through because they never go on a shooting spree, which as we know is the only thing that makes a woman strong.

The way Sadie is viewed by these people also completely diminishes the person Sadie actually is. I have so often found that Sadie is only held in such favour by certain men in the fanbase because she is the easiest woman to turn into a man, as it were, or they’re attracted to her. She dresses like them, spends most of her time around them, kills lots of people like them, and she’s still very pretty, so if you only value women for fitting in with men or for how attractive you find them, Sadie is the perfect candidate. She challenges plenty of men, but not Arthur, so she’s a good one, and she’s even got a more neutral stance on Dutch, so she’s doubly a good one, because now she’s not angry with the cool leader either.

This is not to say Sadie gets no hate. She absolutely does, and it’s all as unwarranted as you’d expect. Sadie has established skills with her gun, she’s going to be skilled with it when she picks one up, her and her husband shared the work as she says. She is rash and she has a short fuse, but her husband was murdered and she’s not going to be at all calm about that. Her final mission is optional. If you don’t want Arthur to go on that, don’t make him. She got a lot of people killed unnecessarily. She’s flawed, she’s very, very flawed, and she’s also not the only character to cause the deaths of innocent people during the game. But just as much as overly criticising her behaviour and looking at no motivations or reasoning she might have had, treating her more critically than you would the men, reducing her down to her flaws is an unfair view of her character, so is reducing her down to a generic cool woman character with nothing happening besides guns and chest, because that’s apparently all women are good for to plenty of the men in the fanbase.

The point of this ramble is just that Sadie is more than her gun, she has a whole personality in there, and while I do think it’s a shame that the entirety of her character was hinged on her revenge until the epilogue since it gave us quite a limited perspective on her, we still get to meet her properly when the epilogue comes around and she has mostly gotten over her grief. Sadie isn’t just a gun and her strength doesn’t just come from her killing lots of people, and there is no lack of strength in Molly, Abigail and Mary because they either kill very few people or none at all.

The strength these women have does not come from the bodies at their feet. Arthur Morgan isn’t a strong man because he kills people. Why is that only a condition for the women? Why does Abigail coming from being a teenage sex worker, a dangerous industry at the best of times, to a very young mother trying her best to keep her family together, to give her son a better life than she had not constitute as strength? What about that does not make her a strong person? Same for Mary, same for Molly. Both went through a lot of abuse, Mary did all she could to protect her brother and Molly’s drove her off such a frightened, paranoid edge, leaving her convinced everybody in the gang who she already knew weren’t the biggest fans at her were laughing at her, and yet she still went through multiple sessions of being sweater by the Pinkertons - who, I’ll remind you, treated Strauss rough enough to kill him - and didn’t say a word. How aren’t they strong?

They don’t have guns. Abigail kills Milton, but he’s a character you 100% hate by now. Mary and Molly never kill anybody. If your one condition for a female character being cool and strong is they shoot a lot of people, these three don’t fit that, but if that’s your condition for the women, that says more about you. Stop using Sadie Adler to back up your misogynistic feelings about the other women, she’d hate that

relevant images for today's fuckery; not specifically just for the red dead fandom, but it seems to be a discussion that still has not relented over the course of rdr2's emergence.

and i, a queer man, am frankly tired of cishet fans and other lgbtq+ fans alike when it comes to the harassment people get from these "word of god" fans because someone said xyz character isn't cishet

Thinking about Molly on this day.

Thinking about how she was promised a thrilling life with Dutch and not having to lift a finger at camp. Thinking about how isolated she is from the other girls.

Thinking about how in Polite Society Valentine Style, Karen says that Molly is too good for them now. Now. Implying that maybe they were close before. Maybe she joined the gang while Annabell was still alive. Dutch picking Molly because she was new and didn't have as strong of a connection with everyone else making her the perfect target for his manipulation.

There's a moment where she gets upset at Karen for talking about her behind her back to which Karen replies with having no idea what she's talking about. Is Dutch telling her these things? That the other girls don't like her or are jealous of her? To keep her close?

Thinking about Molly and Sadie. Sadie also isn't really that close with the other girls save for a few conversations with Abigail. But she's new and she's in mourning. She's stuck with the gang because she doesn't have anywhere else to go. She's alone in the gang as well until chapter 3. There hasn't been enough time for her to really find her place in the gang. So what if Molly reached out to her? What if Sadie could be Molly's one true friend in the gang?

What if Sadie gave Molly the attention she's missing from Dutch? What if Molly could survive because of Sadie?

I love this sm lsjdifjscj. “Sadie.”

#sadie sink #noah schnapp #every time I see a crumb of ST people interacting outside of ST stuff I go absolutely batshit feral. also Noah so real for that #Also also Sadie the Realest for the social anxiety of not being able to be like …who is this again? she’s so real and I adore her #I really need to see her movie #but neither her movie nor Finn’s is showing at my loc theater which is >:( #shut up vee

[yeehawpurgatory]

Gotta be honest. I hope RDR 3 is about Jack, Landon Ricketts, or someone else we haven’t seen yet. I don’t think there’s any other character with a story that could appeal to Rockstar’s usual target audience. And creating another Arthur-esque character doesn’t seem like it’ll work for me.

I think the story is complete.

Yes it would be cool to see Sadie or Charles but if you want a happy ending for either, you probably don’t want a game involving them you know what I mean?

#the ultimate game would involve John for me cause I’m biased as fuck so if they give us peak John in modern gameplay I’ll shut up and pay #to be even more honest I don’t want rdr3 #I’d rather a rdr2 online update #or rather dlcs where you can dick around as Dutch or Sadie or Micah or Charles or whatever #but I’d love to be proved wrong #red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #rdr3 #ramblings
