Apparently according to Edelstans Edelgard hating the Chruch because of her traumatic experience is because "the only reason it could happen was because of the crest system because without it the corrupt nobles wouln't have allowed it etc". Can we stop scategoaping the crest system for every wrong that happened ? And can we also stop acting as if her character made any sense "Crestless people are suffering from injustices because I got experiemented because of my crest because the Agarthans" make it make sense
??
Crust system BaD bcs without it corrupt nobles wouldn't exist ?
Siding and abiding by Uncle'n'pals really shows how much figs she gives to the laymen she's pretending to save, aka you imo can't pretend to help and fight for the sake of the weak if you're blitzing through them for their sake (you had to die for... Your sake ?) and if, at least in Fe16, Baldo'n'Waldi are members of the imperial army.
I was talking to a friend, but the Crust system uwu is a scapegoat in the same vein "society" is used as an ultimate excuse to absolve everyone from facing consequences of their actions, or to give some characters something easy to blame.
Tbh, Fodlan verse really gets the cake and eats it by blaming "crust system" for everything that happens - regardless of the seriously sucky meaning it can have if you consider crest = blood from another race - and apparently changing the "system" by either axing or sniping or replacing the pope.
I know FE isn't a political series where you're supposed to be concerned with the hows, much like Aragorn's returns ushers a new golden age for men and no one gaf about his unfamous tax policies, but at least LotR isn't blaming everything happening on Middle Earth on the governance of Gondor or the degree of elven blood each person has.
