\\\"And people like me (not \\\"the rest of us\\\") are wondering why taking orders from the commanding officer of a mission that Samus is not in charge of makes her submissive instead of blowing up any and all males that stand in her way. Seriously, read the forums, there\\\'s plenty of context for why this is something a sane person would do and not just some weak-willed female.\\\"
Well if some are going off of that, not all of us are, so if you are going to note that, please also note that isn\\\'t the total argument given (again, if other points on some works have a broader argument, it would also be fair to do the same).
\\\"On top of that, they do give reasons for some of the items, such as the power bombs.\\\"
First of all, I won\\\'t bring this up on the main RF page, due to the aforementioned essay issue. Anyway, justifying some is not enough. All have to be justified, or it still looks arbitrary.
\\\"Some of us get really offended that phony \\\"sexism\\\" is nitpicked out of situations no sane person would consider sexist, when genuine sexism is ignored every day or practiced by deriding every single strong female character in media just by finding silly reasons why her portrayls are insulting to women.\\\"
While I don\\\'t agree the portrayal is sexist, I wouldn\\\'t call it a \\\"no sane person\\\" situation. That assumes there is no possible context, or room for interpretation, and I have to call that. Again, not claiming it\\\'s correct to think so, but there is a logical reasoning to conclude so, even if it\\\'s not the right conclusion (as in I\\\'m saying they are wrong, but for the right reasons).
For one thing, there are cultural issues that could help clear things up, but since not everyone is aware of the cultural issues, it\\\'s not unreasonable to make erroneous assumptions from the context they have.
Next is the manga, which does explain why Samus was like this the whole time. The problem was that is relying on AllThereInTheManual too much. Not even Fusion and Zero Mission, both made just as much by Sakamoto, have all the stuff that is in the manga. I\\\'ve never accepted the excuse of materials outside a work making sense of it, even when I like the work, so I won\\\'t accept it now. To paraphrase SciFiDebris, you don\\\'t get credit for what you don\\\'t put in the game, because you didn\\\'t put it in the game.
Some are of course calling the franchise ruined forever, but those that have an issue solely with this game do not count, and including them still smacks of finding an excuse to complain about them.
