She didn't order it but she didn't mind partnering with assholes. She had the gall to go to Byleths's room to chastise him for being down after his father died when it was her allies that killed him. She didn't show even a bit of remorse for the actions of her bestie Kronya. And let's not forget that she chose to partner up with a sociopath that was more than happy to be given an opportunity to murder students. I forget his name but it was that sadist asshole she brought to the tomb when she tried to steal the crest stones.
This.
There church are assholes too but that doesn't excuse Hitlergard.
If you have a better solution for overthrowing an entity that has the fealty of the other two major nations on the continent, its own army, and has influence literally running through the veins of people everywhere I'm sure she would have been glad to hear it.
Same reason why Cyril is widely hated but very few people hate Catherine. Ignatz/Cyril arent cure
I mean the whole problem of the game is that she doesnt hear it
How about "Her reasoning for going to war in the first place is ignorant and self-centered. She shouldn't have started what she did."
I don't hate Cyril, but his weirdly adult voice is a bit uncanny.
That's certainly a take
I don't hate him. He's like Byleth. Just completely unremarkable.
It is really weird to me. He is one note, but nothing he does is hateable except his loyalty to rhea, but even then Hubert, Dedue and Catherine loyalties are much worse than his
I'll take it over that noise that comes out of Mercedes mouth XD (sorry but that voice direction was terrible)
Which is fair enough.
Yep. Plus his life was shit I feel sorry for the guy =/
Here's a quick way to make sure no one takes your opinions on her seriously.

I didn't expect to like Ignatz, he has a really bad pre time skip haircut. But when I started getting his supports, that quickly changed. He's such a nice kid and doesn't deserve all the shit he gets from people, both in-game and from the fan base.
Rhea lead in a way that wasn't the best, and she makes terrible choices for sure.
However during the game we see her activity help others who don't have crests, who aren't nobles and we see that she takes in people who don't even believe in Seiros.
Rhea and the Church are not the best, but the reasons for Edelgard hates them largely are predicated on things that they didnt even take part in and even if you strip it down further her quest to remove the reliance of Crest, the power hungry nature is born of humans, there will always be something and someone to seek out and rule through power.
Her methods and motivations are understandable but it doesn't make it any less terrible the things she does.
But I didn't do it unironically :P
I already stated my reasons why I don't like her.
In the Edelgard Route, she's flat out insane, and I'd say burning down the Kingdom capital without evacuating it, after they had sheltered and protected her for five years, AND their King just died protecting them all, all to inconvenience the Imperial Army... It's a pretty colossal dick move, probably the biggest one in the game.
There's a pretty huge difference between not liking her and saying she's Hitler. And the latter might as well torpedo the former.
Doing a bit of charity doesn't make up for enabling and supporting the overarching system that is ruining life for people. I don't think anyone is saying Edelgard didn't do some brutal things, she never thought of herself as a hero and never claimed to be one. And "humans will always be shitty so we shouldn't bother to do anything" isn't really a compelling argument to me.
Edit: Also, see the spoiler WestEgg posted above (unless you don't want to be spoiled).
This is true, yet we are leaving out how Rhea was driven to the point of insanity.
She was already traumatized by her past, finally finds hope in Byleth, is betrayed by said Byleth after Edelgard desecrated her family in the Holy Tomb.
Look Rhea is no saint, honestly she is chaotic and darn right evil at times. I however can easily sympathize with much more so than that of Edelgard.

The problem is
Your description of Rhea applies perfectly to Edelgard if you end up siding with Rhea. Byleth's presence is what keeps Edelgard from going over the edge, and Byleth's absence is what sends Rhea over the edge. Edelgard was tortured and experimented on as a child and had all her siblings murdered to fuel those torturous experiments.
That is true, totally so.
However one causes an all out war and is totally willing to kill their friends and stomp all over anyone who gets in her way.
Don't get me wrong, to me Rhea and Edelgard are reflections of one another and I can understand why some would side with Edelgard, I just don't.
My issue is those who want to act like Edelgard was totally right and Rhea is pure evil when they both are equally as bad.
OP
OP
Rhea: no good green haired asshole, probably sent from Hell to torture us forever
Edelgard: Wears red but calls her group the BLACK EAGLES
Edelgard: Wears red but calls her group the BLACK EAGLES
Edelgard uses her unique opportunity to try and remake the world to remove the shackles that seem to be the primary cause of every character in the games' personal trauma. She seems to actively agonize over the sacrifices she must make to do this, and uses what cards she's been dealt.
Rhea upholds the shackles that seem to be the cause of every character's trauma. She does not particularly seem to agonize over this and seems incapable of taking criticism or dissent.
Rhea and Edelgard are both tragic villians tbh. Rhea is more justifable but Edelgard has much more personal charisma than Rhea.
I don't really mind edelgard, but the stanning of her is offputting to me.
Tbh, I really hate TSITD because for a game that tries to take itself more seriously then previous fire emblems they are really really out of place, and I would have much rather they commit one direction for Rhea and Edelgard.
