#the mere fact that theyre baiting it and using him to project onto to ogle her means she has to be this fucking water soup character

[thisgodwontforgiveyou]

the problem with male writers in general is that they are completely unable to balance the parasitic drain of male characters in fictional het relationships like even if they theoretically Dont Hate Women and are capable of having a balanced and worthwhile artistic depiction of a woman they literally cannot help but flatten any female character into a sheet of paper if she is even remotely in the sphere of romance of a male character they like

#like even though the writers and designers of ff7r obviously dont fucking like cloti and only want cloud to bottom for sephiroth forever #the mere fact that theyre baiting it and using him to project onto to ogle her means she has to be this fucking water soup character #vs them totally severing aerith from the cloud being in love with her thing as a plot necessity suddenly awkening her #and turning her into this crazy ass character #and then you have to watch both sides of the cognitive dissonance fucking do scans with each other
