the average ROTE meta post on tumblr: where do the fictional constraints of female oppression end and the real-world implications of RH's innately ingrained view on gender roles begin? How does the intersectionality of the Fool's gender expression and his need to manipulation circumstances to his/fate's advantage negatively and positively impact both the broader story and the overall message being projected throughout the work regarding gender non-conformity and the increasingly nebulous concept of "the one true self"? Is there such a thing as self determination or merely self-deception within varying layers of societal privilege? What does the positing of the inherently invasive Skill as a noble, desirable magic versus the far more mutually consensual Wit as a base and reprobate magic imply when examined through the lens of Wit as queerness and Skill as intimacy? Does authorial intent truly merit the final word in regard to widely recognized, consistent patterns of behavior and strong suggestions of undisguised desire between two apparently "platonic" friends? How does Hobb's attempt at commentary regarding societal oppression and cultures of violence fall short and what aspects of political upheaval and organized rebellion does she actually portray successfully?
the average ROTE meta post on Reddit: lol did anyone else fucking hate the Fool's guts? Did anyone else think Beloved was a conniving, evil, manipulative waste of space piece of shit who doesn't deserve to breathe the same air as Fitz, the perfect person, who has literally never done anything wrong as evidenced by his blameless First Person POV—
