>made for anal bullying

and yet I still want to marry Edelgard despite all of that.

She's no more flawed than the other lords.

she is by virtue of being the aggressor

Your grade-school playground view of morality is tiresome.

>hurr the agressor is always wrong
Fuck off, sometimes actions have to be taken if one wants to change the world.

>I want everyone on this board to know that I’m underage and have a learning disability

Dimitri would have been the aggressor if he had more time.

>for no reason

Crests being the end-all of every aspect of civilization and the status quo created by that system being responsible for her and others' trauma and seeking to upend that is a pretty good reason.
If her understanding of the history is false, it doesn't make the actual contemporary system or her suffering fake. As the future leader of the largest and strongest military power that isn't the church that's passively allowing the system to exist, she's in the best position to act on and change the system, and that's going to require a massive upending of the continent's political balance.
Even if everyone else at the academy is all "wow crests suck and it's made my situation awful in spite of my otherwise noble and privileged upbringing" none of them are in as good a position to do anything, and as shown with her immediate predecessor you need to be extremely guarded because anybody and everybody can go and fuck you over and immediately reduce you to a puppet figurehead. And even if one country gets on board, there's nothing stopping one of the others from immediately exploiting that moment of weakness(since crests still offer a massive advantage) to assert themselves as a new dominant power. That's why the first fucking thing she did is purging her own country of corruption.
This is why nothing gets done in any scenario without Edelgard tearing down the system even if she herself doesn't get to be the one standing at the end to reconstruct it. Dimitri is basically just Chrom with more trauma and eats weeds instead of unpeeled oranges, and is otherwise can't do shit without the opportunity to react against Edelgard, and Claude's ability to scheme and manipulate is massively overhyped since he rivals Ike for basically falling upwards conveniently into all the shit he needs to solve the game's conflict.

Arguing that war is bad or her methods are too extreme is valid, but saying that she did it for no reason is a strawman constructed by a retard.

you do know the most prevalent and oppressive violence done against people is not physical violence, but done at the ballot box?

she was still right and in her route she defeats the church and the slithers and brings actual peace to the world

Explain to me again why killing Claude and Dimitri is part of her plan then instead of even once attempting to explain things to her
she's just a retard wallowing in her own suffering and using it as an excuse to lash out at everyone except for, you know the people actually responsible for it who she willingly cooperates with as long as they're helping her

Literally someone who's fucking complicit in murdering classmates and turning them into crest beasts

threadly reminder dimitri and his fanboys are useful idiots. they have no ideological agenda to fundamentally change the state to fit their political will like edelgard and claude do. dimitrifags are basically just libcucks who want everyone to stop arguing but more importantly to stop protesting against the police because "violence is bad".

I saw this thread on page 10, was almost dead and you had to bring it back with unironic defense of this villain, I hope you are happy with yourself

Fuck off

Yeah I'm sure the peasants who never gave a fuck about crests are happy about their families being dead and lands destroyed by war because at least muh nepotism meritocracy is instated now

Play the other routes that actually make up most of the game edeltard

Not that user, but the one who brought it back was this guy with all the (you)s

Her reasons were right, it was just shitty writing combined with their wavering over not having an evil route.

Dimitri is willingly being the church's shield and Claude is himself too bogged down in his own inanity.
You're acting like she isn't aware and accepts that there's going to be casualties from a massive reconstruction of society, like there always historically is.

Stop posting this awful game.

Dimitri is perfectly fine with moving to a society without crests, he literally says he doesn't believe in muh crest supremacy shit multiple times
Big difference between that and muh pointless war though

and Claude is literally Edelgard but not retarded, having an actual understanding of history and actually dealing with the slitherers instead of being their retard drone

>for no reason other than being pissy about childhood trauma
It’s like people have been slowly doubling down on their on the caricaturization of the game’s story since release.

>Dimitri is perfectly fine with moving to a society without crests, he literally says he doesn't believe in muh crest supremacy shit multiple times
And how's he going to accomplish that? Platitudes are fine but don't act like there's a concrete roadmap there.

>actually dealing with the slitherers instead of being their retard drone

Isn't it really convenient that the only reason Claude manages to do that is because Hubert did all the heavy lifting to put them in a position to take on the slithers?

I love how basically the only people in the entire game that complain about crests are nobles who have them and blame them for expectations, and nobles who don't have them and blame them for not getting inheritance.

It's also kinda fucking retarded that in the Black Eagle house, their supports barely even touch on crests and their influence beyond "haha boy I sure love studying crests" with Linhardt, meanwhile the Blue Lions are rife with supports and backstory about them being used as political leverage or influencing their lives with Sylvain, Mercedes, and Ingrid.

>dealing with the slitherers
Because of research done by house varley of the empire
>instead of being their retarded drone
Why do people act as if it would’ve been easy for Edelgard to oppose the super powerful raise of people masquerading as her uncle who has a significant amount of powerful in the Empire that has been grooming her to become emperor since she was able to wield a sword

>And how's he going to accomplish that? Platitudes are fine but don't act like there's a concrete roadmap there.
Rhea was going to give Byleth popeship so just cooperate with them

>house varley
Sorry house Vestra**

Nigger, he calculated the trajectory of a missile. Nothing he was doing as "research" was heavy lifting or unique to his position, he takes YEARS to wipe the Slitherers out in BE's epilogue with the help of others.

And they aren't any kind of super powerful race, they couldn't even accomplish the tragedy of Duscar without waiting for the king to leave his country, having a high-ranking official bodysnatched, and even then couldn't do it without getting the king's own wife to betray him. Arundel's not got much to show for power in the general empire either, Edelgard's the one with the claim to being Emperor, and she's allied with the sons and daughters of every single major house and aware of the Slitherers. They would stand ZERO chance of killing her or stopping her from simply taking the Empire as she does and doing what she wants with it. Like for comparison, they'd need to lure her to like fucking Dagda while having Hubert directly betray her and that's still less setup than they had for Duscar/Lambert.
