Underlying misogyny in the Mega Man X fandom
Maybe I'm coming across as "too woke" here or reading into things too much, but I'd like to talk about the misogyny surrounding the mmx fandom as I feel it's an overlooked issue .
My first example is the treatment Iris gets in the fandom.
Ignoring the blatant sexualistaion she's gotten over the years, Iris is either forgotten (which I don't fully blame people for actually), treated decently or hated and bashed for.......kinda nothing honestly
You see, Iris suffers from this thing called "treating writing flaws like character flaws." A.K.A. hating characters for what is clearly an out-of-universe problem.
The most common example is that characters (usually female) are poorly written, and fans of the media hate the characters for it. It's made even worse when male characters suffer from the same writing mistakes and get little to no negativity.
You can probably see how this relates to mmx. Iris is very much not a well written character. She barely has a role other than "extra trauma for Zero boo hoo," but then again, X and Zero ALSO aren't well written. They just seem better because you see more of them, but truthfully, you only need a maximum of three words to describe any of these characters.
Fandom misogyny also applies to other female characters, especially in the oversexualisation or complete ignorance department. Another great example of this would be Layer.
In-game Layer is a reserved, calm, collected woman who only really breaks out of that when Zero is around, in which she seems to get awkward, no doubt due to her hinted crush at the man. Even then she doesn't act all that different.
In a lot of fanon interpretations, though Layer seems to be sexualised and even demonised despite her barely contributing to the games. Granted colourisim also plays a part in that not only in fanon content but in canon media as well. Layer is the only black character in the X series, and she is by far the most sexualised, no doubt also contributing to her fanon depictions.
Another chatacter I'll mention in relation to underlying misogyny in the fandom is one you might not expect.
It's X.
Yeah
X suffers from this thing in male characters especially, where a desire for peace, benevolence and a dislike of violence, or any indication of emotions really, are seen as weak, soft, or you guessed it, feminine traits.
These type of characters are then often infantilised, fetishised, and generally misrepresentation in fan made media.
(It's at this point I would like to state there is nothing wrong with soft or weak or feminine male characters on their own)
X very much suffers from this, as despite fighting several wars people still portray him as a wimp. Even in the Zero games which is honestly kinda absurd to me?
Speaking of the Zero games, this post ia about mmz, so I'll keep this brief, bit there's also a lot of weird stuff when it comes to female characters in that fandom aswell, mostly sexualisation. For Fairy Leviathan, even though I don't like it and think it sucks, I can at least understand it. She does seem to have the maturity of a young adult and is almost flirtatious in her appearances. However, I can not say the same about certain depictions of Ciel, who is a confirmed CHILD. She's 14 in mmz 1, and she's 16 in mmz 4. No excuses.
Well we've come to the end of this rant where I'd like to say that there is nothing inherently wrong with ooc depictions of characters. People are allowed to have fun and play around with characters they enjoy. That's not at all my problem.
My problem is when fanon is treated like canon, to the point where fan made contet is treated as official information which ofc leads to a lot of confusion, misunderstandings and it'd honestly just plain annoying.
There's also problematic aspects like misogyny, racism and others, which I mentioned previously. To anyone with half a brain it should be obvious why those are bad things.
Anyway I saulte for making it the end of this thank you for listening to my ultimately not that clear way of presenting things
What a way to end my day with reading this one
As a veteran member of the fandom...
It's true. There is a misogyny problem here. There is also an over-correction problem where female characters are not respected by any side the moment they start to look sexy, ie Alia X8 vs Alia X5. Can't tell you how many diatribes about her X5 cone boobs design being "better" , her long loose hair being "unprofessional", and all that stuff I've heard. It looks to me that the more flat and boyish she looks and acts, the better a character she is to some people, and I reject that.
Let's not limit female characters to EITHER smart or pretty -- she's an incredible scientist. Her job as an operator is incredibly important too, as she guides THE Megaman X, the one and only. She can be smart and pretty, she doesn't have to look boyish to be valid.
Women have to walk such a fine line at all times, being just pretty enough, but not TOO pretty, smart and capable but not so much that they upstage any male characters, always agreeable and never sharp or bold or...threatening... I mean, it's exhausting. I am reminded of the speech given by the mom in the Barbie movie. She was spot-on.
I think maybe Capcom didn't expect to gain so many female fans for their robot power fantasy series.
And X -- he's suffered since day one from not being a roided-out, low emotions male. But I LOVE HIM for his empathy, his small stature, his kindness and soft voice. I want more male representation like that. He is so so so impressive and important for being someone whose accomplishments do not match his appearance expectations.
And I know that the ZeroX fandom likes to experiment with gender. There is worth in seeing X as a trans man, and I know the XZero side likes Zero as the Trans candidate. We all have deep, important reasons for that, and both sides seem to insult or turn off the other, but we shouldn't be labeled something awful for what we see and bond with.
Fandom as a whole, for all of history, has enjoyed gender swaps and the like, and maybe that helps us become more aware of misogyny when we explore.
Tl;Dr, I think we should hope and push for more equality and less misogyny, but also not eat each other alive when it comes to groups that are much better about it and have small differences comparatively.
Bc of this, I made a community called "Abel City Heroes" where all your fan characters can be showcased and thrive, even if they are *gasp* female with strong personalities and a role in the story! Something that usually gets labeled as a Mary Sue.
