>>18182885Uh-oh. This post reads like a ticking bomb.
>Feminists I've seen a couple of Gardefags try to appeal to feminism to justify their hate for Gallade, but their hate was entirely due to m-muh patterns! turned outside-out.
>LGBT First of all, Gallade has been designed in a way that primarily makes use of those of Raltses who would have made shitty Gardevoirs - while male Gardevoir still has its share of Raltses that would have made lousy Gallades.
Secondly, the appeal to LGBT is also pulled by people who hate this pokemon yet want to justify their hate by going full Tumblrite to such an extent that even Tumblr started to defend Gallade.
>argument 4 - seems legit. I feel stupid and autistic for focusing on practically every instance of Gallade hate I can find, but digging so deep into this mess made me realise:
>Gallade is chiefly hated by people who got so used to Gardevoir line in its RS-E shape that a canon immigrant/delayed family member has been perceived as a thorn in the back that momentarily ruined their day. Sort of like Archie/SataM Sonicfags were left buttdevastated when Archie comics gave Sally Acorn a full set of clothes.
