character is edelgard from fire emblem three houses. her crime is that she started a war to abolish the nobility and get rid of the divine right of kings and she's going to fight the pope because the church upholds feudalism with its private armies. and she's gay. so obviously all sorts of dipshits hate her with a burning passion
she is perhaps not quite anime stalin or mao, but she's someone who goes "the status quo sucks shit, the only way to change it is through violence" in a big budget game AND it's in a way that isn't horribly reactionary, which is very refreshing. and she's certainly not a fascist
it helps that her biggest competition is saying shit like "Radical new freedoms are not what Faerghus needs right now"
