"benevolent" misogyny in Fire Emblem and how coddling female antagonists can be very misogynistic.

I think the inability to have repulsive female villains because of "benevolent" sexism, benevolent used loosely. Like in some writers minds, women are pure and delicate, unable to have their own agency outside of a man, there’s no way a woman could be a bad mother without a man forcing her to be one as heaven forbid a woman have a life outside of men and children.

Like Shouzou Kaga joked in an interview that he guesses most men don’t like the idea of a "completely irredeemable women" or find the "killing of women" unpleasant, and I’d wager thats definitely true based off most of the people who write for Fire Emblem. 

Two remakes of Kaga’s NES and SNES era FE game by different writers even changed the nameless faceless female grunts to be forced to fight for the enemy in some way instead of simply willingly choosing to fight alongside with their male relatives and family.

Oh that reminds me the orphan trafficker and killer was Eremiya added in the remake of one of Kaga’s games, who you can read about here. She spends most of the game openly using the orphans she kidnapped as soldiers and abusing them physically and emotionally, killing them in their training and such.

The "twist" about her being magically controlled by a hideous and truly evil man adds nothing as not only does it cause plot holes, its impossible to sympathize with someone who laughed whilst personally torturing orphans onscreen. Its also bad because one of her orphan slave soldiers was a male teenager was killed without any sympathy from the narrative simply because he was an ugly muscleman, read about him here, BTW.

That reminds me of another thing, its easier for some artists to make ugly/evil looking characters if they’re male, like Eremiya is still a moe-eyed, even though she’s 40+ and all the other characters that age don’t have eyes that big. Non attractive women aren’t allowed to appear onscreen period according to some artists.

Fire Emblem in general, often does goodness equals beauty as this comic shows, and don’t come at me with a bunch of sympathetic villains who are attractive to try to disprove my point.

Also simply adding "someone else magically forced me to do evil, I’m 100% innocent" to a female villain, doesn’t make any of these characters more interesting, it makes them less engaging by removing all  their agency. A popular LPer even said the Eremiya twist ruined the whole remake plot for him. The male tragic villains are allowed to be interesting as its still their own choices they’re making. 

They do this a lot too, like in Awakening, the only female villain seemingly not manipulated by a man, who initially claims she fights for the enemy because they are her family, is later revealed to have only actually been a random innocent bystander magiked into unwillingly fighting for them and then spends the uses of her screentime swooning over a male character.

Note, Awakening, which was unusually aggressively heterosexual, had no problem, painting a character who in the Japanese version, was a trans woman, as the scum of the earth. Before you ask, the character, read about her here, was the only transgender character in that game and her transwoman status was explicitly painted as repelling.

Anyhow babying your female villains and removing their agency can be incredibly misogynistic. Female villains is only problematic if their villainy is tied to to some aspect of their gender. Just as male characters can be handsome, plain, or ugly as well as good, troubled or repulsively evil, the same should apply to female villains. Make tragic female villains, but don’t make them tragic because they’re female.

PS: If you want you can add Gharnef (Evil Wizard who magik'd Eremiya), Legion/Roro (orphan soldier) and Excellus/Exceli (Evil transwoman stereotype) to your list.
