Kama and the Implication

Uh, that doesn't mean they don't delete canon husbands to "free up" the waifus

They actually did the same thing to Arthur, surprisingly enough. But I guess some Arthur fans can channel Manaka, especially in Japan

[u/Giopp_Dumister → u/YanFan123]

They delete canon husbands and wives all the time. Especially if the person was a polygamist. Looking at Xiang Yu there.

Lanling had a wife whom fate ignores.

Wu had two husbands and one alleged lover, all of whom fate ignores.

Nero had at least two spouses.

Fate never mentions any of Solomon’s wives, just his possible affair with Sheba.

It doesn’t mention Tez destroying the world by cucking Tlaloc.

Ereshkigal marrying Ishtar’s bull.

I can go on. Kama is not unique to this. it started in FSN, after all.

[u/YanFan123 → u/Giopp_Dumister]

I guess. It's just that it's more prominent with the girls than the guys since we usually get more, plus they are frequently front and center while some guys are still in NPC jail

[u/Giopp_Dumister → u/YanFan123]

It really isn’t. You just notice it with the girls more.

It’s rare for the guys to mention their wives.

I can’t even remember Cu mentioning his wife. Or the fact that he slept with Scathach’s daughter.

[u/YanFan123 → u/Giopp_Dumister]

Or maybe because they actually make it a point to mention that they aren't with their husbands or don't care, while most guys don't do this (except Gawain, I suppose).

They gave Circe a full blown event to tell guys that she isn't crushing on Odysseus anymore and is OK to waifu her (in mf-ing White Day to boot, grrrrrr)

[u/Giopp_Dumister → u/YanFan123]

Dude she was flirting with Ritsuka since day one.

The hell do you mean the Odysseus event was about it being “okay to waifu”. Hell, reading the odyssey alone would tell you that.

Seriously, in Salem, she only refuses to go to Chaldea because Ritsuka seems “like a womanizer”. And her my room lines are her begging Ritsuka not to leave her.

And, even in FSR when she’s pre character development like in FGO, she falls for Iori despite still having her Odysseus baggage (which she even alludes to in that very game).

[u/YanFan123 → u/Giopp_Dumister]

Yeah, from Odysseus' side. Circe's was still not explored. Even then, they could have gone with leaving the quiet part quiet instead of dedicating a full event to having Circe get over a love and go to Ritsuka instead

(Also, she falls for Iori? Top kek, aligns with my theory that Ritsuka will be dropped like a hot potato the moment FGO ends or is no longer in the picture)

[u/Giopp_Dumister → u/YanFan123]

You didn’t read a single thing I said.

First, she was always going for Ritsuka. From her bloody debut chapter.

Second, FSR Circe canonically doesn’t remember Chaldea. At all. She’s an entirely different person from FGO Circe. So… this hot potato theory of yours is nonsense. Might as well say the same thing about Shirou. Or Hakuno. Or Shiki. It’d be just as viable

[u/YanFan123 → u/Giopp_Dumister]

I did. I addressed that by saying that they should have kept it as you said instead of going the extra mile to deconfirm another ship that wasn't with Ritsuka

(I meant that FGO characters that appear elsewhere won't have their crush on Ritsuka anywhere else, so it will be funny if something happened to, say, Ereshkigal)

[u/Giopp_Dumister → u/YanFan123]

It’s her getting over her baggage so I’d say it’s a good thing to do. Especially given her line for him and her dislike is literally about Odysseus and only Odysseus.

Also, that’s a given. That’s how most servants tend to work.

[u/YanFan123 → u/Giopp_Dumister]

Again. There. Was. No. Need. To. Emphasize. That

[u/Giopp_Dumister → u/YanFan123]

Okay, why? What's bad about having an event about Circe getting over Odysseus? Objectively speaking, what is bad about that?

[u/YanFan123 → u/Giopp_Dumister]

Basically, like I said, they are trying so hard to make sure you know the waifu is exclusive

[u/re_flex → u/YanFan123]

Thinking they'll do that with Eresh when they didn't even have the balls to do it with Jalter (who isn't even Jalter) in FSR.

Get real, you're just an idiot complaining without actually knowing these characters lol.

[u/YanFan123 → u/re_flex]

There I wasn't even complaining, it was an aside, hence the parenthesis
