Introduction
Greetings! This is a blog for all non-Fódlan Fire Emblem hot takes. A shameless copy of the blog @problematic-fodlan, this blog aims to cover all problematic hot takes tumblr has for Fire Emblem games that do not fall under the Fódlan banner.
I am not affiliated with Problematic Fodlan in any way.
Since I don't want to steal the spotlight from Problematic Fódlan, please refrain from sending asks that contain the following:
No character, plot, or writing discourse from the Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Three Hopes games. (For now, asks about the upcoming game Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave will be permitted, but if you bring up the other Fódlan games in your ask I strongly advise you send it to Problematic Fódlan instead.)
If your ask contains mentions or allusions to the Fódlan games, it must be to compare them to another Fire Emblem game in some way.
The above rules will be amended and updated as needed. Simply put, this is a space where other Fire Emblem games can be talked about with freedom and with little to no Three Houses discourse. That is what Problematic Fódlan is for.
With that out of the way, here are some other general submission guidelines:
This is a Fire Emblem blog. Do not submit anything that has nothing to do with Fire Emblem, or is only tangentially related to it. However, hot takes about games developed by Shouzou Kaga, such as Tear Ring Saga, as well as Fire Emblem fangames will be allowed.
All asks must be anonymous. If you want to send asks with images attached, I will repost the image(s) and copy&paste the text to maintain your anonymity. If you did not send an ask anonymously and do not clarify that you do not want the ask to be posted, I will most likely resend the contents of your ask to myself on anon. If this happens mistakenly, I will hear out requests to delete the post, but this is not a guarantee.
No real-world politics. Avoid phrasing your asks in such a way as to imply scorn for certain political parties or certain groups of people in general. References to real-world history or current events are permitted as long as they are not being used to disparage a character or group of fans for whatever reason.
No hatespeech. This goes hand-in-hand with the above point, but asks containing blatant hatespeech against minorities will be ignored. Additionally, any hatred directed towards any religions, races, or cultures of the world will also not be tolerated. In a similar fashion, do not complain about certain groups of fans or generalize all fans of a particular thing as the same.
Do not complain about an individual by name. Whether they be a fellow member of the fandom, an Intelligent Systems employee or a content creator, I do not want this blog to become a vessel for online harrassment. Asks where individuals are named are permitted, but keep in mind that these asks will be regarded with higher scrutiny before they are posted. (Current Exceptions: Shouzou Kaga)
Since I'm new to this style of blogging, the above rules will also be amended as needed. If you have any suggestions for new rules or amendments to old rules I am open to hear them.
And just to clarify what I mean by "problematic", here are some topics I encourage you to post about:
Touchy topics such as racism or homophobia in the fandom or the games themselves.
Discussion about incest, age gap, or other controversial relationships, canonical or otherwise.
Praise for unpopular games, ships, and characters.
Dislike for popular games, ships, and characters.
NSFW. Try me.
The above is only a noncomprehensive list, so don't worry if you believe your hot take does not fall into any of these categories. Also, it should go without saying, but you are allowed to send nonproblematic takes as well. My goal is only to deliver a space for freedom of speech that can squeak by the tumblr guidelines. All I ask in turn is that you understand I reserve the right to not post everything that is sent to me. If this upsets you, I encourage you to make your own blog!
Thank you for reading.
