Yes.
Except that one time he wanted to run away from the responsibility of running a kingdom, fuck the poor people after all.
That's not what I said at all, but great job framing it like I did. I even prefaced by saying it's unacceptable.
FF8 was ahead of it's time. Remember when the people cheer at their new facist overlord at the end of disc 1?FFXI showing its age in more ways than one now.
That's quite the take lol
Why can't you be normal gaf/era.
Dudes a ladder athlete and she is lacking in ladder climbing speed... there was little he could do to avoid it!
Sorry, that totally went over my head. I get ya now. There's some truth to what you're saying.Eh, I wasn't aiming at you my good man, just the creators. You were correct in your assessment, it was the creators who treated his sexual misconduct as a joke.
People falling over each other on ladders and other shenanigans seems like a trope.Dudes a ladder athlete and she is lacking in ladder climbing speed... there was little he could do to avoid it!
Or, ya know, he left it in more capable hands. This was fairly explicit and would you rather have a ruler who cares and wants to do it or one who is forced into it and does everything half-hearted?Except that one time he wanted to run away from the responsibility of running a kingdom, fuck the poor people after all.
Honestly, this is what I remember and why I would have assumed it legit was an accident. The soft comment is just, well, a comment.He did NOT grab her butt.
He shoved his freaking HEAD into it!!
LMFAOOO!!
I think there's a zero % chance he wasn't talking about her butt...Two of my buddies argued this.
One said he bumped his head by accident and made a (shitty) joke.
The other said that he grabbed her pants by accident and was referring to the pattern.
Lol thought I seen this title before.....

Ya the rape complaints in GOT always baffled me.Yes.
I swear, some people want to white wash everything in the sense that if something is wrong, it's not allowed to be portrayed. It's like cutting rape scenes from Game of Thrones simply because rape is horribly evil. Well, yeah, but it would still happen in a world like that - or in any world really. That's the cold hard truth and integral to a story like that.
Nobody is excusing Zidane's behavior simply because he's the hero of the story.

The issue many people had with the rape scenes in GoT is that many of them were invented/not actually shown in the books. Critique about a show's poor handling of subject matter that the showrunners themselves invented is not whitewashing. It's pointing out pure schlocky shock value as pure schlocky shock value that's actively hurting the storytelling instead of helping it.
Oh, that became known over the course of the game, for sure. He was still a capable leader and clearly loved his people (some more than others, obviously...) but I also never liked him as a character, ever. It honestly kind of bugged me that he was one of the 3 characters you HAD to get during the World of Ruin. I would have much rather had it be Sabin and he ends up taking over as king of Figaro until you find Edgar. even through the very small adjustments in the translation I knew Edgar was making passes at Relm and that made me feel more than a little uncomfortable at the time.Capable hands of a sexual predator. But he's clearly a competent ruler, so all is well! There are no real world parallels here whatsoever!*
(in all seriousness, outside of Edgar's sleazy antics, this was my favorite secondary storyline of the game and I actually tear up a little every time I play the game when the brothers reunite and reminisce the last days of their father).
*mostly because our sexual predator overlords are anything but competent.
Should have had her raped by Theon and the dogs like in the books, eh?The issue many people had with the rape scenes in GoT is that many of them were invented/not actually shown in the books.
I think that's a whole other discussion and tbh I agree that they didn't need to add them in most cases(I can't actually remember each scene beyond Sansa's). Maybe GoT was a bad example.The issue many people had with the rape scenes in GoT is that many of them were invented/not actually shown in the books.

Isn't Zidane still a minor ?....according to his age he's still a kid.....no??
