So, Sarajayechan...

Where, if anywhere, was the wank in GBA FE fandom? I know about the grand Ship Wars, I know about the occasional flares of homophobia, and I know there was some bashing of female characters... any other trends? (Yes, I know about Gunlord, though I still don't know what he got in trouble for.) Characterization-wank, non-Gunlord-BNF-wank, which-game-was-best wank? :P

Just curious.
[And am I correct in saying the main console-FE wank was over the Ike/Soren versus Ike-het ship wars?]

Eh? Why the sudden curiosity? :3 But anyway...

There was a major wankstorm when FE8's English release was first announced back in fall of 2004. Some of the big name FE fans went on a rampage, screeching their hate at NoA and bashing the localization of FE7 for a whole host of reasons, making ridiculous assumptions that FE8 would be totally Bowdlerized. Things calmed down for a while until FE8 had an official English release date, and then crap started over the translations and the English names and even a boss having one stat lowered by a point.

It was pretty ridiculous, on par with the Sub vs Dub wars in anime fandom.

(I think so. I'd have to check Fandom Wank's archives...)
