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;
