I have every right to respond to you to form a discussion. And I haven't played mafia in months. I say whats on my mind. I don't care how you 'properly' debate someone. I got my point across, I hope. But I'm not going to argue with you anymore, since I find this thoroughly unpleasant. It's fine if you disagree with me, I really don't give a shit. It's absolutely not fine to attack my character and call me a disgusting person just because you don't like what I have to say -- especially when you didn't even read my fucking argument correctly. I say what's on my mind as well, except I know how to be polite with it. The fact that you think it's okay to make personal attacks on my characters and you're fine with that just shows me what kind of person you are, and will be forever held against you.

MonkeyCheez3K Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 The way people get upset once more, sigh. Have fun with the useless bashing while I simply find Sanaki's art cute. I'll be waiting for the stats to figure out how badly I want these units. I do want a flying blue tome for my Tactics team, but I'm not sure if a dancer would be a good pick. They do get a BST penalty and being ranged makes it maybe worse in this case; with that said, the other valid blue tome flyer is Corrin (Morgan is too slow for my liking) sooo, I guess I'll let IS decide whether I should have her or not. Sanaki will be kinda tried, as I really like her as a character, but I fear that she might not be that great as a unit. Regardless, I will pull some green with the blue if they aren't horribly bad units. Tharja looks great, but I don't really care for her nor another red mage, so I can safely pass. Curses for wasting orbs before the legendary banner arrives which might feature very appealing units. So, even seasonal banners will only feature three units now, with the excuse being a bland TT unit as #4 (bland for me because they really never matter in Arena due to the lack of merges; they are prefectly useable, however)? At least they thought about Marth this time, which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khid Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Do some people in here not realize how media shapes the way people think? The problem isn’t that Sanaki is wearing a wedding dress. The problem is that Sanaki wearing a wedding dress is being portrayed as a good thing. Child marriage is not a good thing, but when you begin to normalize stuff like this, people will see it as less of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmy Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I don't get the coorelation between her dressing as a bride and being a bride. Lyn wasn't getting married, Cordeilia wasn't getting married, Charlotte (despite her efforts) wasn't getting married; and since Tharja, Ninian, and Sanaki haven't gotten married to a particular person, none of them are getting married here.

silverserpent Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Sanaki is either A) a bridesmaid or B) playing dress-up. Even so...who else is planning on pairing up the Sanakis for owl/bond/goad shenanigans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverserpent Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Also, Sanaki is the ONLY one in the banner without "Bride" in her title. Unless it isn't that way in Japanese? In English, she's "Apostle in White" as compared to "Obsessive Bride" and "Bright-eyed Bride". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garlyle Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Anyone who predicted first Tharja as a bride deserves a cookie. I'm glad I started saving up my orbs, should've started saving up earlier. 60 orbs will not be enough I fear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really though, I guess it's not too bad if the 4th unit is basically still present, just as a freebie. Though I can see why whales would prefer this not to be the case. Kinda odd to me they picked Marth to be the freebie, even as a groom. You'd think he'd still draw pretty decent sales and they'd want to capitalize on him, especially as his first alt. I guess they still expected a loli bride to do better? Just strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's saying it helps normalize child marriage. There is a movement to limit and ban child marriage. Florida recently raised the limit to 17 I believe.

Also, I want a Shitstorm +2 then (Witch Nowi gave us a copy as well) and the upcoming summer banner might feature Bikini Nah. Oh golly, +10 is a true possibility here.

Here's a snippet: Quote "Child marriage isn't just a practice that victimizes girls in poor countries. As this blog has previously reported, it's also long been an issue in the United States, involving girls from a wide range of backgrounds. Based on state marriage license data and other sources, advocacy groups and experts estimate that between 2000 and 2015 alone, well over 200,000 children — nearly all of them girls — were married. In nearly all cases the husband was an adult." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I definitely don't need another Blue mage (seriously, it's the most common color for tomes by far), but obviously there is worth in another dancer. I've got six of the currently nine released. I would have pulled for Marth for sure. I can't get enough of Axe cavs, got em all at 5 star. Green tome flier would be a new class for my collection. Gotta save orbs for the legendary banner since Winter Tharja is likely on it and I need her tome valor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immatx Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 OMG I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING THAT IF NINIAN WAS IN IT I MIGHT DROP $100 FOR HER!!! I'm so glad she's in it, also the units are from 3 separate games which gives different sets of fans something to go for, good job with this banner :) Nintendo pretty please give her to me as a free summon I like owning money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
