A fascistic theocratic hegemon that maintains an oppressive caste system through violence is not the outcome I would pick basically ever but you do you

like the issue with edelgard is she has the worldā€™s biggest fucking horse blinders on

#29741

there are many potential paths towards solving what she sees as the problems in the world yet in her mind there is only one solution and quite frankly it objectively sucks ass

there is literally no need to essentially turn away literally everyone that would totally be on your side here just because you think you alone need to do this and everybody else can only ever possibly be in your way if they arenā€™t 100% right behind you on literally everything

Yet regardless of route thereā€™s no systemic change without her and only through her actions do things change for the better. The text paints her as a bad guy after establishing that the status quo is indeed fucked and that no one is willing or able to do anything about it.

like thereā€™s pretty inarguable actual bad guys in the story and Edelgard is essentially on their side just because sheā€™s too busy ignoring any option that doesnā€™t involve needless wide-scale murder lmfao
