Fuck Edelgard, the only thing she did right was
putting Bernadetta out to be the first one to die

Happy Birthday to Edelgard von Hresvelg
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
I live in a country under the control of nazis and white supremacists who recently just tried to take away my rights to medical aid, so yes, i would actively enjoy an emperor who supported gays/minorities
Nah you know what's stupid? Almost getting killed by your own assassin and getting out-thought by someone with less information than you do just because they opted to go to the library
Also you're confusing Lonato with the church dudes who got sent off to be executed after the whole assassination graverobbing murder thing. The people from Lonato got killed on the battlefield.

Because the US is the only country that occupied germany after WW2....
a gay/bi female fascist would be better than literally any leading political figure on earth right now
The Soviets conquering every country between them and Germany was absolutely imperialism in all but name. In fact, starting out in a defensive war, taking land when the war turns in the defender's favor, then installing conquer-friendly leaders in the occupied lands to add them to the union is a pretty good summary of what Claude does in VW.
The game has nothing of this supporting gay/minorities, this is all projecting. In fact Edelgard herself was bigoted against the children of the goddess
And I guess you are a brazilian like me so you have even more of a reason to not accept an autocrat
I greatly dislike her in general (character design & writing/personality) and find the obsessive fascination the TH fanbase has with her to be very annoying.
Sigh ...
I don't like Rhea. Rhea made me uncomfortable. Rhea needed to be called out on her shit. I went with the character that actually stood against her.
Y'all were on this "y'all only like her because she's hot" since the game came out and no one knew the twists.
I'm on my first playthrough and was EXTREMELY disappointed to realize that I missed my chance to take Edelgard's route. I am miffed to say the least. Now I have to play through all of that again with the same house? ugh.
Side question about the game in general: How important are activities? Like... I kind of hate the dining and the sauna and getting everyone to like me, etc. Unless it's with gay icon Manuela, she's great. Otherwise I really just want to fight. Whenever I'm in the academy I just get nostalgic for classic FE.

Her lethalness on the field is in direct contrast to her personality. That's the appeal.
And her backstory is sad as fuck.
Shes both bi and a woman, she would support both of those aspects of herself in others
also you cant be bigoted against your oppressors.
They're only important for recruiting and if you're on new game plus you don't need to do much of that if you're not trying to recruit.

Rhea never oppressed Edelgard, the ones that did everything to her family were the dubsteppers
By your logic Rhea was right in doing everything she did because humans genocided her family

So we're really gonna do this every Three Houses thread, huh. Same exact people going off making the exact same posts from the last thread, to what purpose, I genuinely don't know.
There is a lot to be said about Edelgard's role as a feminist in Three Houses, in fact
Reddit - Dive into anything

tl;dr
The crest system of Fodlan is inherently sexist and dehumanizing. Tearing down the system is also a fight for women's biological right.
Great lord and character, regardless of the surrounding discourse (and dear god, another predictable thread derail by the usual suspects who can't help themselves).
If there's one thing that Three Houses succeeded at in spades, it was creating interesting and compelling lords on a level that the series hasn't come very close to previously.

none of her ideologies match fascism at all.
Rhea created the class system that oppressed so much of Fodlin for 1000 years, and did nothing about it while making sure to suppress technological growth.
trump is literally a fucking nazi
capitalism is actively destroying the world and furthering our own class divide to the point that a tiny percent of people are morbidly wealthy while everyone else is a paycheck or two away from poverty
an emperor who stands for whats right and forced governments into respecting it's citizens lives would be a literal fucking dream
i value mine and other minority lives more than i believe the weird notion that democracy actually works
Having her pair up with Jeritza in Crimson Flower has the best "Wait, did I read that right?" ending card.
"At the same time, a mysterious guest arrived in Varley territory, which Bernadetta inherited from her father..."
So she befriends the Death Knight, and suddenly inherits her land from her monster of a father? He probably died a completely natural death where he was impaled eleven times on a scythe and dragged behind a horse. Perfectly natural for a noble.
I love that ending.

-Noooo, you can't like Edelgard, you are literally Hitler!
-Haha Crimson flower goes brrrr.
IS is gonna give us another fates because we can't clearly deal with morally grey characters.
His ending with Mercedes is also very sweet.

She didnt intentionally create the class system, she only lied about the origin of crests so she could make sure the nobles would never try to attack her to obtain power, there is nothing implying that nobles didnt exist before Rhea did what her did.
Also I am not defending rhea, she abused her powers to make sure humanity would never be adavaced enogh to menace her, but like I said she had her reasons.
Anyway the ones that caused all the suffering for edelgard were mainly the dubsteppers, even the crests can be mainly atributed to them because the heroes adquired crests by killing rhea's family

He solves problems, too! And for once, getting a boss unit as a character doesn't nerf him. He's a menace in all the right ways.
You can like her, the problem comes from people thinking she is a paragon of heroism and justice.
One of my favourite characters is Arvis, but I will never say he did nothing wrong.
I don't know how you can be brazilian and leftist and still side with Rhea. She reminded me so much of our terrible evangelical government that I couldn't in any way see eye to eye to her.
There is one group of nobles we do know she is directly responsible for creating.
The Hresvelgs.
While the genocide against her people is unforgivable, her actions in building up a religion and army that would go on to conquer the whole continent and create the Empire, including giving her crest to the Hresvelg family, are a major reason for the existence of the nobility system as we see it in the present. Ultimately Rhea wins her war of conquest and gets to be the one to shape history, and plenty of time to reshape it if it didn't go as she liked.
There's a tragedy to all that. The parallels of Edelgard and Rhea both being wronged by TWSITD, and history repeating of them both targeting someone else first in a continent wide war. It's a far more interesting story to discuss, but all we really get with discussions on this game is a back and forth of "is Edelgard right?" :/

Might as well just copy and save our own replies so we can re use them for the next Edelgard/3H thread, and again, and again
?? I dont side with Rhea, for me she and Edelgard are very similar
I agree it is a more interesting story to discuss, but I feel the well is poisoned by this point. I like what they did with both Rhea and Edelgard but that doesnt mean I like what they did or think they as heroes or icons

Happy birthday to the best possible leader for Fodlan. She shows great leadership, especially the ability to listen and accept criticism and advice from her subordinates and rivals. For example, the synthesis of her relationship with Ferdinand is what brings about such sweeping changes as free universal education to all of Fodlan. Which is a huge step forward from the previous administration.

OP be like:
But a sincere happy birthday to her. She did far from the right things, but her perspective is compelling and somewhat understandable nonetheless.
According to the opening song what she really wanted was a normal life away from her self-imposed duties, so a birthday celebration is particularily befitting.
