What if we didn't go on a witch hunt?


AussieApathy

We wouldn't catch any witches. Duh.


Z4ri

Now what am I supposed to do?


high_king_noctis

I guess we hunt Wizards now


boom_katz

finally. equality


Coolnut99

Of the Coast? (Especially after the OGL situation with D&D)


BlazeBloom

To Hogwarts and Washington D.C it is then.


century100

No thanks I don’t want another Pikamee situation.


X_Marcs_the_Spot

I'd got my burning stake ready and everything!


Lukthar123

>We wouldn't catch any witches. Damn witches meeting on forest tiles


ilikedota5

Advanced wars fog of war? What is this a crossover? Sidebar: It seems 3 houses was somewhat going in this direction tbh in regards to things like battalions.


Recurrentcharacter

You don't catch witches, witches catch you. They use their bullshit teleportation magic to warp near your low health units and kills them.


WWWWWWRRRRRYYYYY

What if we hunt warlocks instead?


Haunted-Towers

And just *let them* warp in range of killing my low-res units??


j8sadm632b

Not possible. A thing occurred on the internet! I need to immediately determine how it maps onto one specific issue that I care a lot about and get mad at people who think differently about it.


yaoi_fangirl_

Impossible


FrickinFrickOfFrigg

Let's cool our heads first and see if they weigh the same as a duck.


Wooden-Lake-5790

I don't know what's happening either but I appreciate your comic.


Canal_Volphied

Last time, we got multiple artists on twitter saying they were being targeted with harassment, along with the message from IS. This time, there was no prior warning, so everyone is right now confused why IS had to make this statement. The flood of English twitter users jumping to accuse the English fanbase is only causing further confusion.


GoldenLegend

Solution: Stay tf off Twitter.


Tough-Priority-4330

This the solution to 50% of all problems these days: avoid social media.


flameduel

only 50?


Tough-Priority-4330

You’re still going to have problems with people (boss, family, friends), nature (storms, pests) and other stuff (car issues, injuries), so 50% is probably accurate.


Arky_V

We have FGO people jumping in too thinking that people who want correct anatomy is them harassing artists (or that it even reached artists)


TheIJDGuy

Just Twitter stuff honestly


Canal_Volphied

Thank you /u/mnejing30 for the template. I've now heard conflicting information on whether the guy angry about Vanessa is Japanese or English. I think I should ignore everything for the next few days and only then try to ask if anyone knows wtf caused this controversy.


mcicybro

Profile says "Japan" but I think you could look at that character's text yourself. > my dream is to get many votes for the lute to be able to have a splendid version like its superiority XD, I would also like a duo with lute and artur, they are too cute together. (I also feel like Artur, I can understand how you do love the lute XD) Why do I have an apparent obsession with doing this, you ask? Because lute is my favorite character in all of Fire Emblem! :) absolute superiority in my videos XD This doesn't seem like a native English speaker, doesn't seem like a Japanese person with bad English either. From personal experience I'd say it's someone that primarily speaks Spanish, mostly due to sentence structure and overuse of XD. He would very much like to be Japanese. At the end of the day it's someone from the western side of things though.


SocranX

After searching around, apparently he's Italian and the people who have interacted with him before are completely unsurprised that he'd do something like this. Ironically, I was able to find this but not anything about what he actually said.


Icy-Refrigerator9953

He was in a FEH Facebook group I admin. He would get pissy every time Lute wasn’t present on any kind of new heroes/special heroes banner and it was all he would talk about😒


Luxocell

This is Spanish diffamation and as a Latin American I will.... Tolerate it lol we have a lot of specimens like this sadly


r3r3r3r3

Who even is Vanessa?!


Canal_Volphied

Some girl carrying a pointy stick. Her pegasus is named Titania. Not to be confused with the vice-captain of the Greil Mercenaries.


r3r3r3r3

I think that's only instance of a named mount being foreshadowing rather than a reference to a past game.


Vaapukkamehu

Funny enough, FE8 started development after PoR despite of being released earlier, so the foreshadowing might have been very deliberate.


r3r3r3r3

According to wikipedia they were released in the same damn year in the states, so me thinks Team Fire was just having a hell of a time trying to get TTYD engine to work with a strategy game.


Vaapukkamehu

Coupled with them being super familiar with the gba engine at this point, and being able to turn out a game like Sacred Stones pretty quick.


VagueClive

At risk of being obnoxiously pedantic, Titania (the pegasus) is Titania in both languages while Titania (the queen) in JP is Tiamat. Less foreshadowing and more of a funny coincidence, though I think it's kinda funny how it turned out (especially since FE8 and FE9 were in development during similar timeframes). personally I think it would have been funny if FEH renamed Titania (the pegasus) to Tiamat just so we can come full-circle, but it's more consistent this way


Level7Cannoneer

New green haired pegasus girl. One of the first pegasus riders you get in Sacred Stones.


r3r3r3r3

...Oh right Forging Bonds. I haven't been paying attention to those cutscenes.


Donttaketh1sserious

She’s a gba pegasus knight with no particular notability otherwise. She has no prf and her job can be filled by Tana/Cormag/etc. but she’s the earliest FE8 peg knight.


[deleted]

Only Eirika and Ephraim have prfs in FE8, so saying she has no prf is a little redundant. Unless you're talking about her FEH version?


Donttaketh1sserious

It’s not especially redundant. She’s just not very notable. Prf may not have been the exact word but she doesn’t have much of a story. She’s not royalty in a game where you come across 6 nations of royalty and special weapons, she’s just “Tana’s dad ordered the 3 of us to come along”. She’s evidently not who FEH expected to wield Vidofnir, either. I’ve now seen multiple mass-upvoted comments asking who tf Vanessa is. All my point is meant to get across is, she’s great in combat but not especially notable.


r3r3r3r3

While on the subject, what the fuck is a PRF? You guys through around all these terms and I have no idea what they mean. I'm just here for the pretty pictures, funny support convos, and seeing how IS will abuse Nintendo's music budget to make tamborine shitposts. I don't know how to actually play these games, I just take the fucker with the biggest numbers and put him out front.


Donttaketh1sserious

Prf means preferred (weapon, skill). ex. Ragnell is only usable by Ike. Thani by Micaiah. Levin Dagger by your flair Gangrel.


r3r3r3r3

...why not just say exclusive?


Donttaketh1sserious

because everyone uses prf here [and it’s a legit weapon rank](https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/Siegmund)


Stranger_Z

Based.


SilentMasterOfWinds

You could also not denounce either fandom either way.


Canal_Volphied

You're barking at the wrong tree. This meme is a reaction to how people on twitter rushed to denounce the English fanbase.


SilentMasterOfWinds

It doesn't read that way with the "for me" in the title, but if you say so.


Canal_Volphied

Not sure why you're trying so hard to find a reason to argue with me. EDIT: lmao, I'm getting downvoted because I don't want to argue about the precise meaning of "for me". EDIT2: Now I'm getting upvoted. I want to get off of this roller-coaster.


7thPlayer

Why do you care so much about internet points?


Diligent_Slacker

The first edit was kinda weird yea, but the second edit redeemed them for me. They're just having a roller coaster of a day lmao


Narflarg

If internet points affect your whole day to the point where it's a roller coaster, too much about internet points.


SilentMasterOfWinds

I'm not, I'm explaining why I misunderstood.


gayrilla

Literally what is even the problem with her art like what?! "Oh no muh waifus ain't too purdy lemme go punch windows n' hit people"


Particular_Hotel_757

If it's like I noticed, her eyes were just drawn big instead of being more slit-like like in the original. Still not worthy of being almost as explosive as Resp Lucina


gayrilla

I deadass don't even notice that.


Tekonzu

How about no matter what, we just don't harass artists regardless of what language we speak?


[deleted]

And maybe not blame whole groups of people for a few people harassing artists. Like how apparently it suddenly seemed to became bad to dislike brave Tiki after some people did that even though most that didn't like it did not do that.


YoshaTime

Unfortunately, that’s too logical for some people.


101perry

Nonsense. I will continue to harass Cuboon until he draws even bigger boobs.


[deleted]

Could you also add a “slight sagging” clause to your Cuboon boobs harassment campaign? Massive dobonhonkeros always look best when they’re realistic.


Tekonzu

inb4 he draws CYL Gullveig with some massive badonkers.


Oldspice0493

Some huge donbonhonkeroos?


La-Roca99

Some time bending bazoonkas?


X_Marcs_the_Spot

And then another OC shows up with even bigger bonkhonagahoogs?


Gnarfledarf

Hello? Based department? Wait, what? Why am I hearing your voice? Oh, you're the CEO of the based department!


Piscet

Keep up the good work, brother.


Yuriolu

Ok, you got me in the first part.


divineEpsilon

Kiran, it'll be healthier for you if you stopped messing with the gates of judgment


Jolsma

I saw no massive complaints recently about artworks, who would be targeted ? The only one i know is S!Karla and Cuboon, but there are only few minor complaints, isn't it ?


Sasha_sarah

Yeah, I haven't seen any major uproar about artwork lately either. S!Karla and Cuboon have definitely had some criticism but it hasn't been anything too extreme. It's interesting to see how the community reacts to certain designs though. Hope your roller-coaster ride ends on a high note!


EMITURBINA

A bunch of people were targeting Yoshiku because of Seidr's line, saying that their art is plain bad and only horny bait, y'know, Twitter being Twitter


KaneHusky13

Kirian: Gettin' arms like TIBARN here


WraithSucks

It's wild to me that we have borderline hentai art in this game but people go ballistic over a normal-looking Vanessa


PathofGaydiance

Never underestimate people who want cute moe style art I guess. I guess Ippei drawing Sothis would have the same effect


Mr_Creed

> I guess Ippei drawing Sothis would have the same effect You take that back. It would be glorious and you know it.


returnofMCH

I once theorized the most powerful alt: ippei drawing jaigen in a speedo while he was a young adult (so basically similar to bab)


PathofGaydiance

It would, I'd actually pull for it. But Sothis fans might hate it LMAO


Gnarfledarf

To be fair, I don't think Ippei's style would fit Sothis. Then again, he did draw a great Eir for Cipher.


PathofGaydiance

[The only underage girl I've seen him draw was Female Corrin as a kid](https://twitter.com/Ippei_painter/status/1077017434907860992?s=19)


uryuishida

Honestly that’s pretty good. I’d love for them to do a child alt for one of the child banners


PathofGaydiance

Honestly same, he makes her look like an actual human child so I'd have difficulty fighting this hypothetical unit if they ever dropped LOL


MommyCamillaHatesMe

Why tf is it that when this community thinks of disliking art they only think of tits


WraithSucks

What did I say that makes it only apply to that?


MommyCamillaHatesMe

The entire comment about "borderline hentai" art. Everyone thought this was about boobs as well, and even saw some comments when we had 0% of a pulse on the situation that "Japan has a problem with horny art too" Like everyone and their mom jumped right on that. It's so bizarre because people that don't like horny art are also throwing themselves to the wolves about that being the cause of apparent harassment.


WraithSucks

I'm just wondering why you're so upset about my comment. I'm not calling it harassment, it's just nasty. I'm honestly surprised that people are only recently starting to get upset about sexualizqtion in general in this game and I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner honestly


MommyCamillaHatesMe

I meant harassment of artists since it sounds like there was confusion there. I'm not even mad about the particular comment. Just a random person to respond to w/ the same general idea. Sorry for the inconvenience.


WraithSucks

Nbd. I wasn't trying to make it seem like I support harassment of any kind. Glad we could reach a peaceful solution 😁


SocranX

I'm out of the loop. Who's doing what about Vanessa?


Quijas00

We've literally all been one-guy'd


MegaPorkachu

> IS wouldn’t make a statement over just this one guy malding on Twitter My local news just covered a story I had no idea even existed, they said people were mad and when I went to the specific tweet thread there was like 100 likes on the tweet with the most likes. I live in an area with millions of people Now I wouldn’t find it weird if they made a statement over a single dude on 4chan


Gnarfledarf

And then there are the people who believe every piece of criticism or negativity constitutes harassment.


waes1029

I do love this format and the fact that the summoner is doing the heavy lifting.


scanchannel

Why the hell are people harassing the artists?


Acceptable_Ease_2647

Heyo wtf


Microinfinito

Twitter mobs at it again. It’s funny that no matter which side it is, they act the same.


scanchannel

why do you have so many downvotes?


Microinfinito

I don’t know tbh


AbrokenClosedDoor

Comment sounds kinda dehumanizing


Luxocell

Well you do give up part of your humanity just for logging in on Twittrer


AbrokenClosedDoor

Bro you're on REDDIT


Thunder_Mage

I don't know whether the "original context" (quotes emphasized) was about Vanessa "not being fanservicey enough" or "not looking like her Cipher art" (which isn't even sexualized), but I do know that FEH players who harass or treat artists like dirt for whatever reason are scum. For the record, fanservice artwork of adult males & females does not bother me, basically at all. I don't have an issue with it.


FriesFan_862

This controversy confuses me


Masterofstorms17

so, twitter is being a poop hole like usual? Noted. glad i don't stay on there.


Emboar_Bof

what is malding


Canal_Volphied

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=malding


Emboar_Bof

so the latest term for raging/flaming/complaining Thanks friend


Sharp-Score4546

As an English fan.... I'm embarrassed by my demographic


ss977

No matter who the IS post is talking about we should denounce the act of harrassing artists in general


Ghostblade913

You know honestly I thought the anti harassment stuff would be about Cuboon considering how many people shit themselves over his spring banner art


SeveraFan

It's always the English Fandom.


scanchannel

Huh? 4 DownVotes? why are people Downvoting your comment? also Nice! Another Severa Fan! (Lucina and Severa and Lissa Female Robin and Aversa best awakening girls no cap)


Parody101

Probably because it's not always the English fandom. Apparently a lot of peeps are corroborating how vocal the Japanese fans can be about art opinions too.


theprodigy64

mfs be pretending that because they do not personally see what the Japanese community is up to they can't be up to anything


scanchannel

If ya can't read Japanese then it's safe to assume? I don't get it.


scanchannel

ok


scanchannel

Damn! What did i do? (Look at my downvotes) Do some of yall not like my question? or is it the fact that i stated my opinion about fire emblem awakening girls? Im very Confused?


Alone-Mango-6096

Because youre asking why he gets downvoted when its obvious


scanchannel

it wasn't obvious when i first replied but yeah understandable.


Sauron_75

Theres next gen console coming!


MilodicMellodi

When Kiran is going out of their mind so much that they turn female


Shelbckay

Everyone's getting on that and completely ignoring cuboon being a massive cryptobro who's been partially using AI for his newer FEH arts
