The support conversation was poorly written. In no way, Fire Emblem’s content was intentionally created to be homophobic. I seen so much criticism towards Nintendo games like Tomodachi Life for not having gay marriage. They did issue a letter stating that they will include that.

Wasn’t Fire Emblem Fates going to include gay marriage in the first place after how successful Fire Awakening was? Nintendo is listening to its audience. Fire Emblem Fates is the first game in the franchise to include gay marriage. It’s a new direction. Unfortunately, mistakes happen and misunderstandings occur due to culture barriers and become a big mess. The support conversation and the character is poorly written. It doesn’t make the game homophobic.

I was a little upset with the first article “IF You’re Defending Fire Emblem Fates, You’re Still Wrong” implying those who defend the game are wrong. Folks who grew up with the game. It’s hard to feel regardless of gender when something unintentional happens.

I didn’t want to discriminate others who is defending the game or disliking the game for the controversial content. There shouldn’t be any blame. Just talk and discuss it out. I hope my comment doesn’t cause any misunderstandings.

Been trying to think about other games in the past or present that struggled the same way Fire Emblem franchise had.

It’s really wonderful to hear that Japanese fans, members of queer movements, etc, are just as upset! I had heard a little about this controversy in months previous but I’m distressed to get a full look at it.

I hope the localization, when it comes, is done v e r y carefully. It may not be likely, but I’m going to cross my fingers and hope for a revisionist ‘translation’ that changes these plot elements. (It sadly won’t change the fact that all her marriage options are male….siiiiigh. :/ )
