Again, people call random anime characters that never interact with them directly, waifus.
Making a waifu rarely even has anything to do with writing. Just making a sexy character is enough for people to claim waifu.
But think about it - why do they call them "waifu"'? Maybe it's because of the expected set of traits, right? What trait is that?
You're the one that brought up terminology. Complaining about someone elses "Wrong understanding of the term waifu"
Of course I brought up the terminology, because for him, a "waifu" refers to a sex doll from a porn game. And you, on the other hand, are just nitpicking words for no real reason.
When clearly, you have no concept of the meaning of the word in the slightest. You're trying to force its meaning to be this idea you have and then express that this is a very popular idea because of the terms ubiquity.
You're the one stretching the meaning, not me. I used the term to shorten and simplify long descriptive writing, and it's obviously clear what "waifu" means in this context - which is more than enough for the current purpose. We're not at a chemistry naming symposium, after all.
No, you missed the point.
ask a woman what it's about, not chatGPT
People REALLY like these characters. Explicitly so.
I like Laezel too. She's an amazing character. Never argued that. A terrible romantic companion though - looks like a ghoulish frog, puts her people uber alles, and never discards the possibility of killing you if needed.
Just because you, one individual, dislikes something
So either you're intentionally reducing my arguments to the opinion of a one-of-a-kind individual to make it seem insignificant, or your background in psychology is as solid as mine in quantum physics.
I mean, personally, I really hate how Gale and Astarion are written.
Start a topic about ideas for a male companion you'd like to see and justify it. Maybe Larian will add it to the next game if they find it interesting - and thousands (or even millions) of other Tarils will be happy.
They like that Lae'zel is combative. It fits her character because she's a Gith. You then throw out some nonsense arguments about "Modern Personalities" but no, she's Gith. She's a magical alien race. She happens to be consistent with all established lore regarding the magical alien race.
You're skimming, right? Should I paste my earlier quote where I said only Shadowheart doesn't fit the fantasy world because she's too girly for a battle cleric? She acts within the paradigm of "men are buyers, women are sellers - men chase, women get chased". That's how relationships work in the contemporary world. You can't transplant that into a fantasy world with female warriors who are equal in everything to male warriors. It simply turns the whole world into Comic Con. That's why I called Shadowheart a "streamer".
And I think I'm done arguing with you, because you're clearly trying to get self-satisfaction from winning an argument with someone you disagree with - which I'm not willing to waste my time on
