Watch as they do the same thing they did with Yotsuyu, They show him being very ebil and then they show his tragic backstory.

Japanese storytelling staple. Gintama did this so many times I lost count. At some point you got to start wondering if it's part of the comedy

Wait, what? Jesus fucking Christ... Yotsuyo can be redeemed by having her head removed from her body as far as I'm concerned.
Also going to side with the "Fuck Ala Mhigo" side. I would be more motivated to help them if every mhigger I have met hadn't stabbed me in the back the second when it was convenient.
On a non-lore related note, I think my FC might be shit. I made a comment along the lines of "Modern society has me fucked up, for a second I wondered if the Doma sections is cultural appropriation". When pressed for an explanation, I added "I forgot it was a Japanese game and you can't appropriate your own culture". I was then treated to a lecture that yes, you can appropriate your own culture. I stopped replying because honestly, what do you say at that point?

I dunno, I got the impression that in the end Yotsuyu wasn't really supposed to be redeemable but rather an example of how society can turn people into monsters. One of the characters pointed out how she was given the opportunity to start over and become a better person but then refused.

I think it is just a Japanese thing to believe that people aren't inherently evil, they become evil. You'd need to be the literal lord of darkness to be considered "born evil" in the eyes of a Japanese story.
Yotsuyu for example is effectively a creature of circumstance, her birth parents are dead, her step parents and brother hate her, and was traded around for her looks. Even simpler characters like the wood wailer who betrays us twice in ARR have these circumstances. The idea is that people become evil and corrupted through either internal weakness (like greed), through external circumstances (dead parents, abuse victim, etc), or something like possession such as being possessed by malevolent spirits.
So the path of good is effectively a path of being able to avoid these external usually materialistic vices such as greed or being overwhelmed by emotion like depression or desperation. A rich person becomes "evil" because they're greedy would be one simple example, while a poor person becomes "evil" because they're desperate to survive due to their lot in life.
So Japan likes to use this story staple to explore the myriad of ways a person can become evil. For Gintama, I assume it is part of the comedy considering how that series is.

I had to re-read this thrice to be sure.
What? Are Ameritards so ignorant that they believe this?

I get the feeling that, past a certain point, Yotsuyu just wanted to suicide by cop. Or Warrior of Light in this case.
Ameritards and the British both, yes. Don't forget how it was also totally colonization that Hien... played by the Xaela's rules and then had them help take back/destroy Doma Castle while still respecting their autonomy. And that Hien is totally fine with child sex trafficking because he didn't outright execute Yotsuyu's former pimp to punish him for the crime of helping to make Yotsuyu into such a monstrosity.

So basically she's a less sexy version of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker? I can dig that. Also I hope her outfit is available as a glamour, my samurai would look cool in that.

A lot of RPers really hate Hien and what he did with the Xaela... for seemingly no reason at all. They also hate him for that reason as you stated. Which is unsurprising given that if you actually stumble into a lot of these rper groups a lot of them will come up with some pretty crazy shit:
- There was a guy in some "Bozjan Revolution" RP group that captures imperial souls and experiments on them which sounds like a complete war crime in Eorzea
- Rampant, I mean RAMPANT LGBTQIAXYZBBQ+ characters whos genders wouldn't even fucking exist
- One person's character hates lightskinned miqo'te... again for literally no reason
- There was a guy in a "creative writing" tab who made some violent and graphic fanfiction about their cat girl miqo'te getting raped by a roegadyn and it was supposed to be portrayed as dead serious when it more came across as unintentional comedy
- Miqo'te clans and tribes... are fucking clans and tribes and I dare you to look them up because they are the worst cancer you'll ever read
- Awkward fetishes sprinkled on their characters (miqo'te clans so primal they sniff women's panties to sense fertility apparently. Don't even get me started on age of consent)

Oh god, it's pretty much exactly the same as my own experience when I tried dabbling in RP once. It's all people wanting to be supervillains, victims of supervillains, or some barely disguised fetish as an excuse for easy ERP. Oftentimes all three.

I think by far the worst I've ever encountered was the traditional keeper clan groups. Conceptually, my interpretation of the keeper clans were that they were Wacco or Onion Town (look it up) sovereign citizens who formed small communes outside of Gridania, hence why they would be described as more solitary or independent, who hunt for survival. But for some reason that is completely unknown to me, you'll get these fucking clans that will practice dark arts (which would make them enemies of the state), worship alleged primals or eikons, or they'll have primal clan politics that would make south american and african tribes blush in comparison. There hasn't even been a single mention of keeper clans exhibiting this behavior at all anywhere in the game and even if we were to handwave that, the clans would be so small that any kind of politics would never grow beyond just ground rules and distribution. These are small families living sovereign outside of city limits kind of like those backwoods rednecks, not tribals worshipping false gods.

Reminds me of the time I had recurrent dealings with some faggot who pushed a headcanon that his character hailed from a matriarchal Duskwight clan that had some really weird, rape-enforced hierarchy and the guy's own Elezen character was exiled from their cave, but was intent on being the biggest political and influential leech possible so he could accumulate all the prestige and... Somehow use it to better his place within his faggy clan's home, or burn it down to the ground otherwise.
The really weird thing among a couple of the friends I had was that I was apparently the asshole for directly questioning the faggot on his motivations and expressing disapproval over his means, which he was proudly declaring IC during one of those little RP social gatherings that get hosted every so often. Because apparently it's completely unreasonable and wrong to oppose villains in a setting where people oppose villainy all the time.

I think you're in the kind of FC you fucking deserve.
Technically Hingashi's supposed the hydaelyn equivalent of japan with it mirroring japan's vehement isolationism along with the the guy who gives you the samurai job/equipment literally hailing from there and with the SB job questline taking almost entirely in Kugane. Doma is the Chinese one. "Cultural Appropriation" as a concept is fucking retarded none the less.

He reads 4chan threads about himself and pretty much any thread talking about him streaming the game was filled with gifs for the assassination. It's unlikely he knew about Raubahn going beast mode though, which is what people actually wanted to see him react to.

Lunarcon wrapped up yesterday and they've already put together a teaser stating it's coming back in 2022.
I got to see a bit of it on the last day but went to sleep after the events wrapped up. But apparently there was a metric shit ton of people hanging out by the main hall area making words in the water with their bodies spelling out Lunarcon. Rubbeross was there too just for the sake of it, not even streaming the event.
For an entirely community run event they ended up reaching around 4K+ people on twitch during the closing ceremonies. That's pretty nuts for what it is altogether, and whatever your opinion of the entire thing was, is an extremely huge sign of how big XIV has become in this past year.
If it keeps the momentum is a whole other issue as more people reach endgame, but doing all in this in the peak content lull is wild.
