Karin Appreciation

who is the man who teached her how to use the gun, the one who probably gifted her the pilot jacket?

People take it as if she's saying she's the only one who's experienced war times and argue that it's out of touch to say that to a soldier and a medic. But first of all, that's obviously not what she means and second... she doesn't know these people's life stories, she just met them.

Karin is a woman with a strong personality. It's pretty easy to assume that she isn't always taken seriously as a professional. She gets defensive because she really cares about her job as a journalist and hates to be underestimated. She's also very independent and doesn't want to be perceived as a damsel in distress.

When she says "I've covered wars" she wants to assert herself and say she's been in the same predicament as any other person present in the battleground. Do you guys not know how risky being a journalist in war times is?? Documenting such violent events is not an easy job.

It's not even as if she's only saying it to sound cool, she's not pretending to be tough. She actually is.

It's really ironic and frankly, a little sad, that her attempt to be taken seriously is ridiculed by the audience. I'm pretty sure that if it were a male character saying this, the fandom would have a different reaction. I thought she was a really cool character when I first played the game and I got so disillusioned with how the fan base treats her.

I'm not saying she lacks flaws. She can be rude, outspoken and often refuses to acknowledge anything that doesn't fit her theories or worldview. My point is that a lot of people hate these traits on a female character and would otherwise not find it annoying if she were a man.
