You can't even kill the bitch female student of the archer samurai. The one who works with the mongols and tortured civilians
I mean got is a good game, I had fun playing it but damn the females in the game were wtf from the lesbian noble to the "misunderstood" traitor/torturer
The archer quest was where I first started smelling the stench. The conversations you have with the old archery sensei guy are textbook feminist crap. First of all, the woman is his best student ever, sorry Jin. But that's to be expected, all the female warriors in the game are incredible - apart from that one sidequest samurai lady who shows up (to train male rebels) then gets in trouble (because she's too brave and righteous and fights too many evil men at once).
But then the rest of the conversations through every part of that archer quest consists of Jin talking shit at the sensei. 'What did you do to make her this mad?' 'What are you hiding?' 'Gonna kill your own student huh...' All while there is immediate evidence of her being a willing mongol collaborator and enthusiastic killer of japanese peasants, all the story can think of is how to turn this around on the male authority figure. Right after her cruellest murder trap, when you chase her down the first time, Jin doesn't immediately kill her as he would with any man, instead he just gives her a chance to say 'sensei is hiding the truth from you!' then escape.
I never finished that sidequest but I read the summary of how it concludes just now and laughed. Just as predictable as Ghost of Yotei.
The writers have no idea how to ever ascribe any wrongdoing to women, except by occasionally floating the question that they're being too violent (which is another feminist fantasy), but every time in those cases the reason for it is that men made a cruel world so it's women's responsibility to fix it, by discarding dumb male principles and killing all the bad men from the shadows.
The final sidequest in the DLC is like this too. Big Bertha's men turn against her for bending her own rules to spare her daughter, rules she previously used as justification have men executed, presumably. Complex situation and a legit grievance, possibly, yet Jin unquestioningly sides with fattie to help slaughter her own men and save her junkie daughter. I said fuck it and just tried to run out of the location boundary at that point.
