There are many romance options in the Fire Emblem Fates games, a mechanic carried over from the previous game in the series, Fire Emblem Awakening. To understand this accusation, let’s break it down, starting with possibly the worst part first. That said, let’s start with the elephant in the room, shall we?Ĭorrin, the main character of Fire Emblem Fates, is an incestuous pedophile, child abuser, and sexual assaulter. I’m criticizing this game as a concerned and disappointed fan of a long running series. Let me start by saying I’m a huge fan of the Fire Emblem series, possibly the biggest among my friends, so I’m not just coming out of nowhere to say “ Fates bad because anime bullshit” or whatever just because it’s popular or I hate Fire Emblem or something. If you wanted to experience it first-hand without spoilers, turn back now.Īlso, obviously, trigger warning for discussion of child sexual abuse, sexual assault, sexual harassment, homophobia, transphobia, stalking, incest and a brief mention of BDSM. I could have made this article about LGBT+ representation across the entire Fire Emblem series, and how Ike is absolutely, unequivocally asexual, but that’s a whole other can of worms I don’t really wanna get into right now, and I think Fates is far more than enough for one article anyway.īefore we go any further, fair warning that this article contains spoilers for Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation, and Fire Emblem Awakening. The problems, however, begin when we start to dig into the details of those relationships. Your choices are varied, ranging from the crown prince of the Kingdom of Nohr to a lowly village girl from the countryside of the rival Kingdom of Hoshido, and everything in between. You know, light reading!įire Emblem Fates is a game full of choices, and that includes which of your units you want your avatar character to get married to. Here's a contributor post by Morgan discussing queerphobia, incest, and pedophilia in Fire Emblem.
