I miss Xingcai’s personality from DW5. She was so much better in this game. Now, she acts like a woman without emotion. See, the way you act toward Guan Ping in his Legend Scenario from DW7: XL? I hate you, Xingcai. What you’ve become is disgusting.

Yo anon imma let u finish but DW5 Xingcai is basically DW7 Xingcai :| 

I know that people are allowed to have their opinions but my jimmies were really rustled can I just say something ok

Xingcai is a woman of duty. In DW5, in DW7, and in Warriors Orochi. She’s not the type of person who lets her emotions get the better of her, unlike her father. Hell, even in DW5, in the Battle of Baidicheng, she clearly states to Huang Zhong, and I quote, “Duty above all else.”

I feel like her voicing in DW5 was a poor choice. She was too “cutesy” and flirty with Guan Ping when in the Japanese version she was just remarking on how much different he’s gotten from when they were children. And that’s another thing— Koei is pushing the whole Guan Ping/Xingcai thing a bit too heavily. Yes, it’s obvious that he has feelings for her, but it’s a little bit muddied on her end— she probably doesn’t even have the same feelings for him. Yes, she cares for him deeply, but as a friend. Her duty is to protect her lord Liu Shan, and that’s what her #1 priority is. She knows that Guan Ping likes her in that way, but she doesn’t let that get to her; in fact, she “pushes him away” because she knows that his feelings for her may become a hindrance to him protecting his lord, her husband, the emperor of their kingdom. Liu Shan is the most important thing for them both: Xingcai personally and directly because she is his wife and bodyguard and it is her duty to be there for him no matter what; Guan Ping a little more indirectly because he doesn’t particularly have any interaction with him BUT STILL he is his Emperor and he can’t let him down or the kingdom would be ruined.

Idek where this rant is going anymore so I’ll end it with this: skrew u anon-san, Xingcai is exactly the same in both games and if u say otherwise then ur not looking hard enough >:T

Thank you, butt-lass. Thank you so much. My thoughts exactly.

Your fanboy starts to show towards the end. ;)

He was very interesting historically. It’s kind of a big deal that Sima Yi liked this dude, like with Guo Huai. Bam.

.

I actually like his weapon and don’t find it too far fetched. There are a lot of worse weapons, in my opinion. Like the “Arm Blade.”

.

ALSO, I really like that his skirt is short, his legs are exposed, etc. Because he is dressed like most of the women in the series.If I even got a BIT of Sima Yi fanservice, Koei would have me hooked for life. ;-;

It’s a sad irony that we promote self-defense classes as a way of combating violence against women, yet many of the women of color, trans and cis alike, are currently imprisoned precisely because they fought back against violence in their homes and in the streets.
Too often trans and queer women of color survive violence in their homes and on the streets only to have the police, courts and prison-industrial complex come after them for having the audacity to survive in a world where, as Audre Lorde said in her poem “A Litany For Survival,” they “were never meant to survive.

peeta-would-you-love-me-if-i replied to your post: I’m confused. Do you believe in feminine superiority or equality for all? You sure seem to post a lot implying that sexism against men doesn’t exist and that men are inferior.

A lot of times people try to tell me that sexism…

Oh, but “psychology” says men are the funniest? Well, I guess we’re done here! It certainly couldn’t be that women just shut up and laugh because we’re trained from birth that we’re supposed to be pleasant, pliable, and inoffensive, and that we should pander to men at all times lest we be labeled an undesirable. No, the obvious explanation is that every time a woman tries to tell a joke, an invisible dream-catcher telescopes out of her vagina and snatches it from the air. Science.
