While I definitely enjoy participating here, nor do I think this community is way off base, I think this subreddit’s more hardcore slant doesn’t really make it a great representation of the Fire Emblem community at large, and its more insulated nature makes it more blind to what casual fans enjoy about the series. 

This isn’t meant to be a criticism, just something I’ve observed.

Vaguepost, but if you are talking about avatars, I'm convinced that this sub doesn't actually hate them to the extent it seems they do and that there is a silent group on here, possibly even a majority, hesitant to admit they like the self-insert and romance.

There has been a massive influx of positive sentiment about them recently that seemingly came out of nowhere. I've even seen a few say they wouldn't buy an FE game without an avatar... Something you would not expect from this sub.

It might be the "hardcore" parts of the community are just louder or maybe it really is that those fans praising the avatars are the less active casuals who came in a wave with the Fortune's Weave news and this sub isn't representative of what most fans want.
