I’m not sure how to phrase this in a way that will avoid an FE fan jumping down my throat, but I think there are definitely some conservative values on display in terms of (teacher/former teacher)/(student/former student) relationships on a mechanical level. Granted, I think there’s something to say for modern FE being conservative in general for how comically hard it has leaned into being waifu slop . . .
Yeah, I mean I agree about the waifuslop thing but I don’t think that applies to 3H. It exists but isn’t nearly as emphasized as the 3DS games. It applies to Engage which is a game that sucks and I have a physical need to hate on it given any opportunity.
I don’t really see how student/teacher relationships are inherently conservative? Unless you mean the romantic ones which yeah aren’t really defensible, I mean I don’t see how you can say it’s not LITERALLY grooming if you S rank anyone other than the other faculty

Every FE game except for Three Houses is conservative
MAYBE Tellius gets a pass
Three Houses is only conservative insofar as it takes place in a medieval fantasy setting and therefore the in-universe politics reflect that
Fire Emblem Engage is an affront to God
This isn’t really responding to what I said about three houses.
