What’s with Fate authors and designers genderbending historical and mythological male characters?Does Nasu and Takeuchi have a transgender fetish or something?Genderbending characters won’t make the Fate series more popular.Are they going to genderbend Jesus and Hitler next?
>>292167176>transgender fetishIt's called selling jpgs to otaku, anon.Saber was a girl because Takeuchi wanted to draw a blonde heroine and Nasu made the setting bend around it. Then it became the face of the franchise, so every later writer learned the obvious lesson: if you turn some dusty old king/general/god into a cute girl, people roll.It's not deeper than that. Fate has always been "historical fanfic + chuuni rules + waifus." If anything the weird part is you expecting historical accuracy from the franchise where King Arthur shoots lasers and Gilgamesh owns every prototype weapon because of a magic treasury.
