why do something useful with my day when I could instead develop an argument rooted in Gothic theory to explain why Vincent Valentine feels mishandled in the Compilation of FFVII games

you don& #39;t NEED theory to explain it but it& #39;s FUN to use theory to explain it

(the tl;dr is that he& #39;s written to a Gothic heroine archetype rather than a Gothic hero archetype but they& #39;re really afraid of actually addressing that so they keep throwing him into danger and being like & #39;ooh man shoot gun so he is strong and cool actually& #39;)

stay tuned for this thread, it will be very cool, and make you say things like & #39;:o& #39; and & #39;was this necessary& #39;
