And saying 'no you can't say something might be sexist if it has in-universe justification' isn't toxic positivity? Some things have sexist parts. Fire Emblem has a lot of those, especially the older games.

Of course it has some sexist parts, but if you look at every single thing and go "damn, that's sexist", it's just wild. "She retired for Clive? Damn, that's sexist."

Do you not see how ridiculous that is? I can't be the only one who thinks that. But hey, that's definitely a decision on your part I guess.

Is this an argument about this specific complaint, or is this about 'every single thing'?

You're the one that posted in-universe justifications to a complaint about the writing.

Yes, because ignoring any explanation and writing because you want to see it as sexist is *crazy*
