You’ve heard of “i didn’t say it was good, i said i liked it,” get ready for “i said it had some technical problems & didn’t fully deliver on its themes, not that i didn’t like it”
#I voiced a criticism of some of its aspects#which in no way implies I did not like it#“and especially does not imply that I would like to hear a defense of it of the form 'shut up and let people have fun'”
REALLY endorsing these tags from galileosballs
Blind Rage (6240 words) by KingShai Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Warframe Rating: Mature Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Drifter & Arthur Nightingale Characters: Arthur Nightingale, Drifter (Warframe) Additional Tags: Warframe: 1999, The Hex Spoilers (Warframe), Pre-Hex Finale, Canon-Typical Violence, Blood and Injury, Sparring, No Beta We Die Like Ballas, using transference as psychological warfare Series: Part 1 of Once and Future Summary: Set shortly after The Hex Quest. Drifter and Arthur are still at each others throats, they're both assholes with a temper and a sparring session gets a bit out of hand. I know that the main quests have limited time to get into things, so they had to get over their initial clashing a lot faster than I would've liked. This is kinda just exploring that early dynamic a bit further.
Ao3 version that lets you open the 'director's cut' where I, the author, explain every detail in excruciating detail to you and what it is in reference to.
#it’s called sending me an ask and I tell you way more info than you actually wanted @newbromantics
Anyway I think more video game quests should make you uncomfortable and guilty and mislead you and corner you between a rock and a hard place and offer hollow victories. There's nothing more annoying than quest writing that scrambles to assure you that you're niceys and good and nothing you put your hand on can ever have negative consequences. "You cannot save everyone" and I cheer and whoop etc.
wish we could talk about feminism or especially transfeminism without feeling crazy. because its not crazy. but whenever we talk about it we feel like we're putting on our tinfoil hats and ranting on the streets.
we can't even say "i hate men" without having to explain TO OTHER WOMEN that no, we don't hate every individual man on the planet, we hate the class man and the system men made for themselves that dominates the place we live in. in the same way that we have to tell other women that misandry is not a systemic force, and hating what men as a class of people and the patriarchy they made does not a misandrist make
and then WE feel bad because we made others uncomfortable by talking about injustice!
Its absolutely insane how much backsliding the public consciousness has intentionally done over the last couple years alone in regards to feminism. Like, all of these things were basic feminist concepts that most people anywhere left of center understood and accepted as late as 2024. Y'all remember the "would you rather encounter a strange man in the woods or a bear" question? That whole thing happened just two fucking years ago!

man i wish top had never happened
this is why i have been so vocal about tops treatment of domestic violence and partner abuse being fucking atrocious. abuse and dv are sensitive subjects that needs to be handled properly and respectfully, or this is what happens.
they way people went from seeing ballas as a horrible, evil and selfish man to this whole 'uwu the mean woman hurt him because she loved her children more than him' bullshit drives me up the fucking wall.
like do people genuinely not understand why it is so upsetting for survivors of dv and ipv to constantly have people go "uhmmmm actually he did love her, just in his own way!!!!" about the man who abused and murdered her, as well as overall framing their entire relationship as being "normal" just because ballas was orokin??? like it might have been "normal" amongst the orokin social class, the way it's been "normal" for every ruling class to abuse and exploit people they have power over.
the orokin were evil because they were human. ballas was evil because he was human. the entire point of the orokin was that while they saw themselves as living gods, at the end of the day they were still human and that was their downfall.
and even if margulis' and ballas' relationship hadn't been abusive, she was an archimedian and he was not only orokin, but also an executor. their relationship had an insane power imbalance. even roathe mentions how ballas "could have had his way with her" due to their stations, and the only reason ballas deciding not to rape a woman he wanted is framed as him being in love with her, is because its roathe re-telling that story - roathe who himself was victimized by an executor. which is why he also romanticizes ballas' and margulis' relationship, because to him it probably did look like love. doesn't mean it was - he was an outside observer. like people keep praising him for being an unreliable narrator, even the writers has stated he is one, and yet people keep taking everything he says at face value.
pregnancy is one of the highest risk factors for the increase in violence against a woman in an abusive relationship. the most dangerous time for a woman in an abusive relationship is when she's trying to leave, because that's when he's most likely to kill her. it is not love that an abuser feels towards their victim, but ownership and entitlement.
ballas arranged margulis' execution because she defied him and because she chose her children over him.
i don't care whether it was intentional or not that both margulis and the lotus mirrors these two statistics in their stories. these are real things that happens to real women, and the way DE has treated these subjects in top has been irresponsible and thoughtless. and the way the fandom has been behaving as well is just as inconsiderate.
i don't care that we're talking about fictional characters, the arguments and the narratives regarding dv and ipv that are currently circulating in both the source material and the fandom are real arguments and real narratives that harms real people. do better.
But reylo really is the most heterosexual ship out there because the man’s violence and anger and general immaturity are taken to be romantic and the woman’s clear feelings of disgust/hatred/fear of the man are completely ignored.
to think they crucified me for this and acted like I was shitting on DV victims. I’ll add that reylo is white as FUCK.
i think sometimes its easier to accept the wet fart that was veilguard, despite that likely being the end of the series ive loved for well over a decade, because at least its over and done? same with andromeda and probably no more mass effect. like they failed to keep the core part of why the original games were loved and therefore fell flat (among other reasons). and like yeah, kinda disappointing endings to my beloved series, but it is what it is.
but with warframe... because it's a live-service game and it isnt done, its like the resurrected corpse of your childhood pet they just keep desecrating to the point where it barely resembles itself, but everyone around you keep insisting its never been better. and like a fool, you just cant help but hope that maybe, just maybe, they'll eventually get back on track
like im sorry, but im actually still not over the insane amount of misogynistic victim blaming and dv narratives that were present in top, and how much of a cesspool the fandom has been after that. i don't think it's insane to feel disappointed that that update and constellations were quests produced and released under a woman creative director and lead writer.
sometimes i feel kinda bad for being so harsh on kingsley and rebford, because it isn't as if old warframe was completely free of misogyny. but honestly, it is just so extra upsetting and incredibly frustrating that the writing and designs have taken such a misogynistic turn while it's supposedly being led by women. and the creative director and lead writer being women is then also being used to shut down any valid criticism, as if women aren't also capable and complicit in upholding patriarchy and misogyny. it's 2026 and im so tired man.
i swear to god if people don't start understanding that responding to doylist critique of a piece of media with watsonian exonerations is not an actual rebuttal
somebody saying "hey i don't like that the only gay man in this story is a weird pervert and it portrays gay sexual promiscuity as a moral failing and character flaw" cannot be rebuked by arguing about how the character's backstory or personality traits explain their behaviour. the choices made by a writer are all fundamentally mutable; somebody saying an author's choices should have been different is not going to be persuaded by an argument that takes those choices as immovable fact
i think we should start openly mocking male creatives who can't figure out how to write women. like actually i think it's embarrassing that it took elliot page transitioning for christopher nolan to give him a good role. why did it take like ten years to get the first female lead in a marvel movie? why is it a Known Fact that stephen king can't write women? why is 50% of the population omitted from large ensemble works? i asked my friend to name a movie directed by a man with a majority female cast and he said ghostbusters 2016. ghostbusters. ghostbusters. g
women who don’t date bi men baffle me like… are you for real i won’t date a man if he isn’t bi what’s the point of having a straight boyfriend omfg
sometimes. things that have a lot of kudos. are worse
