She was marketed as a strong bisexual female lead, but afterwards she was revealed to be the game's big bad so all the SJW were stuck trying to defend a genocidal fascist as a dindu.

She's too based for the soi-fueled nintendo fanbase

She's objectively wrong but all the autistic Edeltards swear on defending her because they think she's hot.

I haven't played Three Houses yet but from what I've seen it's because she's illogical and poorly written. Her actions are uneccessary.

Bernie! Bernie! Bernie!

she's not the perfect waifu everyone was expecting, instead she's an autistic megalomaniac willing to do anything to win who's also the FE hitler equivalent, plus she's protected by literal gestapo man, what's with white haired females being complete fucking mess 80% of the time?

>Marketed as a strong bisexual female lead
What

She is the villain of every route except her own. And her own route does nothing but validate everything she does. This creates a divide in the community on how exactly is she meant to be perceived.

I want to fuck Edelgard, just not as much as Rhea, or Mercedes so therefore she has to die.

Because she's the villain, but she's also cute and fuckable so many people defend her actions.

Bernie is burning! Professor, SAVE BERNIE!

Because she's poorly written and the logic of her entire plan falls apart as soon as you play more than just her own route. It wouldn't even be difficult to fix her character, just adjust the reasoning for her actions. Something like needing to start a war and lure out the mole people in order to finally free Fódlan of their influence, but since Japs are creatively bankrupt they just went with the tired CHURCH BAD meme. When I started her route I expected her to be female Lelouch with her own "I'll become evil to vanquish an even greater evil" speech, but instead she just acts like an autistic child. It's disappointing as fuck, but coomers are easily pleased idiots and her being cute is good enough for them to excuse shitty writing.

You mean 100% of the time

Because Edelgard did nothing wrong. People just can't stand the facts. The Church wasn't a real religion, it was a heist on all the people of Fódlan.

It's literally Female Hitler, SJWs and waifufags like her because female, if you actually play the game she's clearly the one in the wrong.
Yet waifufags and SJWs will claim that she's the one in the right, because vagina.
I wouldn't care if they weren't so fucking loud about it.
I'm just minding my own business, leaving a comment on a nice Dimitri art piece, and suddenly I get 3 different autists calling me names because I like Dimitri.
Telling me that I'm racist and sexist for liking him, like wot.
I didn't think people like that actually existed outside of shitposting and London parades.
All I said was "Nice piece, love Dimitri", and someone DMs me a 3 paragraph lecture on why liking Dimitri makes me a bad person.

she is a genocidal maniac but I want to mating press her really bad, therein lies the conflict

Because it's canonically proven that not only is her path to saving Fodlan the most needlessly violent one but her fanbase is a defence force that says she didn't do nuffin

Say what you will about "Unresolved plot threads", if certain events never take place, then that's really all there is to it.

Some people can't handle she's 100% right, and that makes them freak the fuck out

i was here first bitch

Because her fanbase is a bunch of troglodytes who only played Crimson Flower, fapped to her and then bend over backwards to defend her morality in a game where the whole idea is that nobody's in the moral right in any of this because it's not only war but grudges and fear created from wars done an even longer time ago but because they're spineless in the face of waifuing a genocidal idiot they have to try and proclaim her the hero for killing millions to get at the church because the obviously evil mole people told her to.

They like her because she is retarded. Some people like that in a woman, but I don't.

Pretty much this, 3H is kind of a fucking mess

Play the game idiot.

Because she's both a protagonist and antagonist. So while she's the "good guy" in one story path, she's the villain in the other three.

My Sovereign

>people who played CF first
and
>people who didn't play CF first

She blames the wrong people for the tragedies and allies with mustache-twirling villaneous people who do everything to burn the world.
There's no defending her without metal-gimnastics and the people who do can't even see Edelgard's gigantic hypocrisy.

She did literally nothing wrong. Lizardkikes begone.

As a person who has played the game and read developer interviews it comes down to her being rushed. Edelgard's route was supposedly never going to be playable until last minute and there'd be a big reveal that she was also going to be used like Byleth was going to be when it came to reincarnating Sothis. Edelgard is mainly hated due to her route also being poorly written and very hamfisted. The ending just ends after you kill the final boss on her route and you barely get to know anything that happens after it. There's no reward. Just confusion and bewilderment.

There are people who side with her in Nocturne?

Back before the game's release we found out the romance options, and she was the only lord to be bi.

That coupled with the fact that all the male gay options barring Linhardt weren't actually gay sorta made the sjws latch onto her since they thought she would be their gay main character.

It's literally down to

since a good number of CF first kids didn't play the other routes.

Can't wait to see what lies the schizos will make up to post this time

Most people only played CF because it's the house with the most dykes and fags.

I've played the game and he's completely right no matter how much edletards cope.
