In Japanese the words for the Boss Soul for Radahn uses the word to describe Radahn's role to Miquella as; *王* Which literally just means; *"King"* Not "Consort" not "Lord Husband" not "Gay Ass Boyfriend" just King. In European belief, a king was granted his authority to lay down the law *by God Himself.* This is what Miyazaki was trying to evoke with the relationship between Marika and Godfrey, and Miquella and Radahn. It's not a sexual, romantic, or loving relationship. It is a relationship of a beneficiary and his benefactor. A CEO and his right hand man. The Emperor to his Darth Vader. Radahn is Miquella's conqueror, his envoy, his commander. Miquella is Radahn's god, his ruler, his source of authority and power. Nothing more, nothing less.
I want to know the original Japanese text of the memory item that the red lion general got after he was defeated. I played the Chinese version. Of course, I didn’t buy the DLC. If this game really added this setting, I wouldn’t buy it. , in Chinese the old lady with the big finger also said that the king is the spouse of "god" (fictional world), which has caused me to have a misunderstanding.

@@TheNSJawsthey aren’t men lol they are demigods beings of higher standing than humans. It’s not about male or female and besides miquella was both if you wanna look at it like that. He is miquella and she is also st. Trina. Plus he didn’t wanna be his consort miquella beguiled him into thinking he wanted to be his consort. Miquella was using everyone in a scheme. So what are you getting at bro? go learn the actual lore of the game. And even if he did want to actually be his concort it’s still not gay because again they are demigods and gods they can change their will and essence as they please so being another gods concort isn’t about sexuality in the slightest it’s about needing another gods power regardless if the god is “male” or “female”
From what i saw from a channel that covered the mistranslations the word consort was added by localizers , in japanese radhan is only refered as king and miquella as god. Apparently Miquella doesn't want to marry radhan , he wants to replace the greater will and convert radhan into the king of the lands between, basically he wants radhan to replace Marika.
But marika is a god, miquella’s goal would be to replace marika, that’s what it means to be chosen by the 2 fingers. It’s also why he used the gate of divinity, same as marika.
@@darkmatter9643but it's similar to what ranni does , she kills the two fingers and go to a journey through the stars , she basically turns into a devine entity , maybe miquella wants to do the same but instead of leaving he wants to rule over that land
@@darkmatter9643 Not quite. The description on Miquella's helmet piece states that it would have been the basis of his new order _instead_ of the elden ring. He wasn't aiming to just replace Marika but the elden ring as well. Either by substituting another outer god in the great will's place or trying to fulfil that role himself and skipping the middle man of having something akin to the elden beast at all.
What's funny is that, instead of saying that ER is gay. He could have used it as a way to use the game as an anti-woke game. Cause the main villain of the DLC is literally gay.
Yeah the only game that let me take out a gay/trans main boss. The game doesn't shove anything down the throat though. Because none is explicitly said so. Also his alternate self name is saint "trina" ffs lol. Its an anagram.
@@Asgaardiangatekeeper St. Trina is Miquella, in the same way that Radagon and Marika are also the same person. It's plays deeply into the alchemical duality theme.

How very DSP of him (Way back in the day DSP kept "Jokingly" hitting on Steve Cortez in Mass Effect 3 and then acted aghast/offended when he ended up locked into romancing him)
I think Elden ring is actually a very good example of how to seamlessly add diversity in all possible ways without it being overtly cringe and fake. Every major movie/game/etc company should be taking notes
For real- to this day people forget that even in DS1 we had gender ambiguous or outright trans (depending on your veiws) characters. Gwyndolin was a young boy raised to be a woman. Dark Souls 2 had a coffin that "killed you" then you respawned as the opposite gender. To be fair I can't exactly say there is no incestuous stuff, but hey, it's GRR Martin we're talking about here. He loves that shit
Where even is diversity in ER (DLC)? Is it Miquella? Or maybe Leda and Freya being "main npcs (and knights)", that are females? I dont even think it is a diversity. The reason being is Fromsoft hadnt diversity in mind when making these characters. They just made them because they fit the best in this game setting.
@@joshprimegamingthe mans entirely delusional while mixed race couples certainly make it so much worse to him literally anything that depicts a woman or man that isn't like nuclear family 1950s crap will have him ripping out his hair screaming, I legitimately don't know if he can wrap his mind around that a woman is physically capable of anything more than cooking and cleaning

@@mitchryan257Dude just look up Ganymede the prince Zeus stole it’s not that hard to do your own research instead of looking like a fool. Ares had a male lover that he punished because he didn’t warn him and Aphrodite about the sun rising. Apollo had a few. Ignorance is bad for the mind.
Complaining about women in From Software games when pretty much EVERY game of theirs had a badass girlboss (an actual boss or female character) is pretty much like bitching for views.
I've only played Bloodborne+DLC, Elden Ring+DLC, and Dark Souls 3+DLC, and just in those 3 games I can name a ton of strong fighting female characters off the top of my head. Ellen The Crow, Sister Fride, Lady Maria, Malenia, Loretta, Tichie, Nepheli Lox.
I hate synthetic man, but consort can mean husband, and we indeed married Ranni in the Age of Stars, like when we marry Anri in Dark souls 3. From Soft have this weird relationships. 😅 And Miquella, like Marika, have two genders. He's Miquella and St. Trina, like Marika is Marika and Radagon. Again, From Software.
…. Marika actually Fed herself. Yeah he wanted to marry his brother. The whole family are demigods and gods, they are on a different understanding of everything
It’s above gay and straight lmao most of the deities have male and female versions of themself they’re fluid and don’t see sexuality. Thats literally how it is for any pantheon of gods so I’m so confused why people don’t understand this. People are foolish and funny
I remember playing the dlc and finding all the bits and pieces of lore and got to the final boss i rmemeber cracking a joke when i got him to his second phase like oh my god, Radahn, and miquella, together like this on pride month, bromance confirmed as a joke after all, of course after learning more of the lore that aint it but its crazy how things like this people try to stretch and it just tells me that they probably dont care about the story this dlc tells, but now try to extend it to real life and it probably bothers them or something and thats why some people come out with some real unhinged takes on this (FICTIONAL) world and try to make it as thats whats happening irl, cant seem to seperate reality from fiction
cuz modern media sucks. people like synthetic man who 'hate everything' didn't exist in the past cuz back then not everything was awful. but keep consuming the slop pig btw if you think movies/games now are better than they were before you're an utter bellend
@leontudor6549 yes. Miquella doesn't romantically love Radahn. He just needs a consort so that he cam ascend to god hood, and Radahn was the strongest demigod. Radahn also isn't even consenting to this.
Well...Miquella IS a femboy ....and there is a definition of the word consort you can look up that makes the femboy and his relationship to his BROTHER very suspect. There IS a lot of gender swapping going on in the game, just saying.
I take Miquella's vow to be a very nieve thing that stemmed from his respect and admiration for Radahn. It can very much be read as queer which I love because it makes the situation even more fucked up and tragic.
When I hear the word consort I think husband/wife so I can see where he’s coming from in that regard. Also have you heard about game of thrones at all? I heard there’s incest everywhere in that 😂 so that’s not surprising at all. The miquellestor definitely violates radahn
I was subbed to him for a couple years and he just became a meme. I too, cannot stand woke crap, but this guy is almost so paranoid of wokeness, it's as if he believes gay ninjas are gonna jump him if he doesn't call it out daily. He may be projecting tbh
Before I’d wonder why, but after seeing Dead Domain’s video, I get it dude saw his rant videos got more views, so he kept doing them to the point where they warped his brain. His audience constantly hating on him and feeding into his insecurities only added to that issue.
What does agenda mean ? People who work at fromsoftware likely have political views that they want to share through their arts, so in some way the politics of Miyazaki and his devs will be reflected in the game
Damn @ni9274 that's a cringe perspective. I think what u mean is, as artist, people try to reflect their view of certain topics through art, it's ok, that's how art works. Problem is when there is an agenda, it's not art anymore, it's propaganda and i really doubt there is any in a fromsoft game. Looking for any agenda is a really insane way to live, as for Anita Sarkeesian and Synthetic man, that's fucked up, we don't need that.
This guy is the other end of the extreams. Like hes GoW Ragnarok review is horrendous and filled with out right lies that can be disprooven with the most basic of fact checks.
I remember when MauLer and the EFAP crew took that one behind the shed for 11 and a half hours straight. Definitely one of their better episodes in my opinion
The only thing that baffles me that they cut the extremely graphic secs custcene between Miquella and Radanh before the fight starts. Fromsoftware dropped the ball there.
@@OneSleeplessOneThey have done that with a few games. They have outright changed things in translation to avoid offending or whatever. I'm not on Synthmans side on this, it felt like he was just pandering to his audience. That being said, it is weird how everyone was on board with Mogh being a Moghlester, but it is somehow different when Miquella does it to Radahn.
@@mitchryan257 One of the dudes criticisms, was that there is something wrong with him for having his mind in the gutter and assuming consort meant "gay", when there was an entire meme about Mogh perving on Miquella. So it apparently is acceptable to assume Mogh was gay, but not Miquella. That was my takeaway. I'm not a synth fan or anything, don't get me wrong.
What does it mean to be “anti woke”? Hating queer people and women and POCs being in your white cishet media? I bet you hate those demographics in your daily life too.. Imagine claiming something like that without hesitation. Beyond cringe. We’d literally be living in Germany circa 1940s if y’all had your way.
Dude same. And he could have used the DLC to be anti woke since you kill the gay femboy rapist and free his victims at the end. 😂 Guy missed on a good joke.
So you’re anti-woke but you’re fine with characters seemingly having multiple genders and no gender option in the menu ? You people call games woke for less than that
@@poweredbythemakyostar8896 I blame the "consort" thing, being an issue of translation between dialects. "Consort" more refers to "consortium" but in the way that it is used, it does not match. Essentially, the little creep Miquella wants to install Radahn into power. Like God endorsing a king. This isnt even the only translation issue in the game. The most prevalent example, being Ranni's "Age of the Stars" monologue. The translation makes it sound like a really bad thing, but it is actually probably second best, to the Frenzy Flame ending.
His point on female bosses is dumb asf But I dont think he is wrong about Miquella and Radahn lol his rage over it is hilarious, though What i find amusing is that in every other instance, no one has a problem with consort meaning basically husband or wife - no one bat an eyelid wheb marika had children with godfrey, no one bat an eyelid when she ####ed herself as radagon and had incest babies, but now that the incest is gay, it COULDNT POSSIBLY BE. NOOOOOO.. YOU CANT JUST MAKE CHADAHN GAE 😢😢 Like hello, its george we are talking about here. Yes, you most certainly can.
Consort meanings. 1: The spouse of a monarch 2: A husband, wife, companion or partner ( notice how all of these are on the same section so they are all sexual or romantic) 3: Well publicized sexual partner of a monarch
@@RyuSaarva the japanese original version uses the japanese word 王 which means king, NOT consort. All this implied sexuality is because of a mistranslation.
@@grimdarkness2137 that’s your headcanon , it’s never stated to not be romantic and miquella’s sphere is kindness and love so it’s weird to assume it’s a loveless marriage
@@RexDolo dude it's not headcannon. The 2 made a vow with each side gaining something (we don't quite know what Radahn gained, but Miquella gained a lords soul as his "promisory consort"). By the time Miquella is ascended via the divine gate he quite literally shed himself of love. On top of this consort is just a mistranslation, as in japanese Radahn is just referred to as a king (elden lord) and Miquella a god. The only sort of 'love' that ever was, is sibling love and adoration between the 2.
Look, I feel like there were rare points in synthetic man’s reviews that I do agree, but my god it’s impossible to find anymore knowing the majority of outlandish takes go with female, gay, other race, etc. it’s tiring, frustrating, and just questioning. Like at this point I’m expecting just every take of him just completely bad now.
Headcanon: Miquella & Radahn are a queer platonic couple (Also I assumed the relationship between Ranni and the Tarnished was romantic but probably not sexual since she's a ghost)
Bro is borderline a neo Nazi at this point. It’s kinda insane how upset he gets at POC or LGBT characters even breathing in the same direction as media, let alone existing in it.
He’s likely a neo-Nazi, he made a stream watching game trailers and literally everytime a non-white non-straight character appear on screen he screams woke.
This guy has literally become what he hates lol he is now the male version of Anita Sarkeesian only instead of "everything is racist and everything is sexist" for him "everything is woke and everything is gay"
At this point it's used to categorize a piece of media when someone sees anything they dislike. Like women wearing armor: woke. A gay dude appears: woke. A black person exists: woke. The term is supposed to refer when writers use those aspects and center on only them to make a story that its not good and or cohesive. Like for example when something like that overwrites the original lore of a preexisting fictional world. But to people who just hate seeing any minority, as soon as they appear, it's woke. It's very stupid.
To simplify, "woke" used to mean when left leaning individuals forced their ideals into certain franchises or product. But now the right calls everything woke leading to the term for many to lose its meaning.
Easy dude let me explain. Women = woke, men = woke, different races = woke, sex = woke, movies = woke, tv = woke, music = woke, the internet = woke, the air you are breathing = woke, you = woke, your mum = woke, your dad = woke, the past = woke, the present = woke, the future = woke. "Woke" has lost any and all meaning that it might of once had, only dumb fucks use it as a term now.
He's completely and intentionally misinterpreting what consort means in the lore,an empyrean actually needs a consort to asscend to godhood because that consort will become elden lord which is basically an enforcer of their order,Miquella has no intention of having sex with Radahn,he's basically just using Radahn as a safe guard for his order as if he were to ascend into godhood Radahn would serve as an incredibly powerful elden lord and Miquella's order would be secure,a consort is not a lover,as seen with Marika having no love for Godfrey beyond his usefulness to her order,we don't even know if the act of producing children between a god and their lord is even sexual...
I also felt that Miquella wanted incest with his older brother, and he had incest with his sister Malenia. But his ability to take your heart is simply his charm ability to brain wash the masses into following him.
So what has he said that's actually wrong? If there's a bunch of gay stuff in elden ring. What is that incorrect? Is miqeulla or how ever you spell his name not actually a man but a woman? As for his statement on micro-transactions. I watched his ad to confirm what you say. He's outright said we all do things for a sponsor. If he gets that money then get that money. You yourself have stopped pretty low for click bait reviews. As for anyone else who reads this. If you look at his other channel "brain rot". This man does not handle criticism well. Yet he will claim others do not handle criticism just simply for responding to what others say. When some of us asked if he himself could handle criticism. He piped down and stayed quiet. XD
Though, even if I may be very wrong, I believe Miquella actually changed sex to be female. And that, from a lore perspective, is completely fine. Being an Empyrean might have a deep connection with having a womb or at least femininity. Miquella is the only male empyrean out of 5, and there is an analysis from "The Tarnished Archeologist" that evolves better onto this, but basically you get chosen by the Fingers to be the new God of the Tree of the next Era, and this implies that you will have the duty to produce life, from yourself and from the Tree, or actually both at the same time since the Erdtree's life giving powers are literal, and Miquella tried to create a new Erdtree with the Haligtree. For this to work, you are probably more inclined to do so if you are a female. Melina was the Kindling Maiden, Malenia was cursed with the Scarlet Rot, Ranni rebelled to the Fingers and to the Greater Will. We see Miquella, but in the version we see (s)he isn't a child: maturation and metamorphosis is completed at the Gate of Divinity. She looks fully as an adult woman or at least in her late teens. The proportions between the shoulders and the hips, if watched up close, clearly are the ones of a woman. What better way to get to the peak of Compelling powers, to Win Hearts, than to evolve into a Goddess just like Marika did? Miquella abandoned the ways of his Father, Radagon, to embrace his Mother's.
"It was his money and if that's how he wants to play the game then more power to him." You earned a sub for this. Not because I am a fan of the synthetic man, but because this is exactly the kinda attitude we all need to adopt for the world to just become significantly more better. You do you.
You get type a and type b bodies in the selection screen (not male or female). So yeah... it's woke. Women in bossgirl knight armor is also overdone, so it's a valid critique.
@@jeremiahooms4716 You are literally that "How does this affect you" meme, with Rome burning in the background (which is the U.S. of course). Redditor libertarian shit logic.
@@jeremiahooms4716 They could be a little more creative here instead of doing the same-old modern DnD troupe. Traditional fantasy did it right. Female characters and those of weaker constitutions (and thinner frames) would be wizards, mages, alchemists, bards, etc., while barbarians, paladins, and swordmasters would have medium or bulkier frames befitting the overwhelming majority of the people who had those profession in history---men.
I usually tell the difference between delusional and legitimate critique or observation. If someone begin commenting about a ambiguous gender or identify or race or something like that it needs to be explained otherwise it just sounds like a anti-woke rant or a legit concern of shoving something that isn't their. My main example is why a lot of naturally red headed women and men are being replaced by black characters. Starfire, Ariel, Marry Jane Watson, Bat Woman kind of but not really, Jimmy Olsen, Hawk Girl in the Flash, Annie, Wally West and Iris West I guess as well. It is a repeating occurence. It isn't me hating Black/African people I am thoroughly curious why that pattern is repeated. But a strangely a lot of them are superhero media. It isn't the White guy is now Asian, the black guy is now white. The mexican is now Indian. It is this one specifically.
You know he's not wrong you can interpret the lore into what you want so he's right in his own head cannon. Now he's still crazy and wants to see wokeness in everything. My personal lore is that Miquella does want to have sex with his brother and have kids. I think that because one it's funny and two me and my friends wanted a Miquella ending were we married the femboy so it's more of an insane joke for me. As for the Ranni thing it really depends on your choices throughout the story because depending on your choices she addresses you differently. One's more formal and the other is more romantic in it's own way.
I've only seen like a couple of his videos maybe about 2 years and go and felt like something was wrong with his videos but damn, seeing the whole comment section here and re checking his content i want to puke.

Consort - noun A husband or wife, especially the spouse of a monarch. A companion or partner. An animal with which another animal, usually of the opposite sex, forms a bond for a temporary period during which the two individuals maintain close proximity and engage in mating or other sexual behavior. from The American
Ngl the dlc ending for elden ring was kinda mid. For bloodborne the narrator dropped bars and in dark souls 3 you got to give the dark soul blood to the painter girl. All we got in elden ring was a kid yapping.
Oh, Synthetic 'man' is such a precious thing. He needs to be protected for the sake of mankind's future entertainment. Rather than simply watching him 'hate' or pretend to hate something, I would be curious if there are games that he actually likes (for real, not to grift and pretend). It must be a weird site to see him smile genuinely. Edit: 2:31 What show are you talking about? Are you talking about The Acolyte? Because that one _hasn't_ been canceled.
He generally has some decent to good takes when it comes to talking about game mechanics and systems, but whenever he talks about story, characters or wokeness, it's just painfully cringe.
uh.. is any long time souls fan surprised by Miquella's character (besides the whole Radahn thing)? We know Miyazaki has wanted his own version of the Griffith gay femboy forever. Miquella is just an evolution of Gwyndolin / Lothric. i blame the incest scenario on George RR Martin.
Also, YES, a consort in elsen ring is equal to marrying a character, people, stop coping withthis shit, we have been, for TWO FUCKING YEARS been saying that the age of stars ending is the "cool" ending because you literally marry ranni, ffs, you get ON ONE KNEE AND PUT A RING ON HER FINGER, yes, we MARRY RANNI when we become her consort. Same shit with miquella and radhan, that was what miquella wanted, stop with the cop out, you cant sudenly erase two years of everyone knowing what a consort was in elden ring to sudenly saying "well you seez its actually not marrying in this case" and DO NOT even try this bs of wanting to erase the marriage between the tarnished and ranni because now, sudenly, consort does not equal marital partner because "dem gayz" will ruin miquella amd radhan.
@@joshprimegaming my dude, two years, we have TWO YEARS of lore out on youtube and the internet, with dozens upon dozens of youtuber whose sole carreer are abou telling the lore of this game, and not once, not a SINGLE time, consort was EVER used in any other context other than to refer to a husband/wife relationship, both by in game itens and the people that tell said lore, WHY now, when its in regards to miquella wanting radhan as his consort, its sudenly a problem? Why now its the "well you see, a consort is not a husband... Well its not ALWAYS a husband... ITS NOT GAY ITS NOT GAY ITS NOT GAY" discurse? I know i soumd agressive, but i'm brasilian, this is how we discuss things here, what i'm doing is genuinely asking: why its a problem now? Specially if you stop to think that, the people at from probably foresaw people wanting to say consorts where "guardians" and then added the shadows, the ACTUAL guardians to the empyreans (wich are marika, ranni, miquella and malenia), so tou know, characters like maliketh and balidd are the ACTUAL guardians of the empyreans, while whoever an empyrean refers to as a "consort" was ALWAYS, with no room for misinterpretation, regarded as a marriage partner. Also, about ranni, same thing with my question above, both the game and the youtubers ALWAYS made it veru clear, almost spelling it out for the player: "YES YOU ARE MARRYING THE BLUE DOLL", so why is that now, two years later, sudenly, no, we never marryied ranni, actually, she wanted us to become her guardian, said the person trying to hide blaidd poor corpse as he tryies to fight off the two fingers infleuence to continue being ranni shadow (i.e her guardian) while also plucking their ears and ignoring ranni refering to us as her consort, lord, elden lord, and such, all terms we know very well that in this context, means that sje is basically calling us her husband.
@@joshprimegaming Dudes right. Miquella is a femboy, brought his brother back from the grave and basically married him. It is what it is. They used the word consort. Could have used several other words if it was any other way. Champion, Protector, Guardian, etc etc....but they specifically used consort. And this is the same meaning given when you marry Ranni.

How's his interpretation of the lore any less valid than your interpretation consort could mean companion but it usually means a spouse for royalty could be either one really
Let's be real, the game is about tearing down the last vestiges of a racist, abusive theocratic nationalistic monarchy, and the upshot of what is widely considered to be the most popular ending is that you fuck off into space with your GF and her god and let the Lands Between figure out its own shit without the interference of Outer Gods, the base game was already woke in any way that actually mattered. Him freaking out about the gay femboy brainwash "romance" in the DLC is just proving he wasn't paying attention. And just to be clear, it seems kinda like missing the point if you think that anything that Miquella is doing to Radahn is presented as a good thing.
This is where culture war gets to after long enough. Anything with a gay romance or any minority in the leading role is woke. Any show with a white straight male leading role is problematic. There can no longer be good shows any more without it appealing to some agenda according to these people's logic.
I choose the same interpretation of Miquella’s relationship with Radahn as you, it’s logical and I question how consensual it was. However, you also said it’s up to interpretation, and VaatiVidya and many others probably already have a video about how they agree with Synthetic-Man. Hell, I saw one being recommended to me before I saw your video, lol. I will say he goes too far sometimes, like saying Miquella turns us gay when he steals our heart, although he could just be joking, I am not a mind reader. I will also say that he was too hard on having a couple new female characters, they didn’t crap all over the men or anything else either.
In Japanese the words for the Boss Soul for Radahn uses the word to describe Radahn's role to Miquella as; *王*
Which literally just means; *"King"* Not "Consort" not "Lord Husband" not "Gay Ass Boyfriend" just King.
In European belief, a king was granted his authority to lay down the law *by God Himself.* This is what Miyazaki was trying to evoke with the relationship between Marika and Godfrey, and Miquella and Radahn. It's not a sexual, romantic, or loving relationship. It is a relationship of a beneficiary and his benefactor. A CEO and his right hand man. The Emperor to his Darth Vader.
Radahn is Miquella's conqueror, his envoy, his commander. Miquella is Radahn's god, his ruler, his source of authority and power. Nothing more, nothing less.

I think you need to seek therapy for being a pervert
@@TheNSJawsthey aren’t men lol they are demigods beings of higher standing than humans. It’s not about male or female and besides miquella was both if you wanna look at it like that. He is miquella and she is also st. Trina. Plus he didn’t wanna be his consort miquella beguiled him into thinking he wanted to be his consort. Miquella was using everyone in a scheme. So what are you getting at bro? go learn the actual lore of the game. And even if he did want to actually be his concort it’s still not gay because again they are demigods and gods they can change their will and essence as they please so being another gods concort isn’t about sexuality in the slightest it’s about needing another gods power regardless if the god is “male” or “female”
From what i saw from a channel that covered the mistranslations the word consort was added by localizers , in japanese radhan is only refered as king and miquella as god. Apparently Miquella doesn't want to marry radhan , he wants to replace the greater will and convert radhan into the king of the lands between, basically he wants radhan to replace Marika.
That makes a tremendous amount of sense
But marika is a god, miquella’s goal would be to replace marika, that’s what it means to be chosen by the 2 fingers.
It’s also why he used the gate of divinity, same as marika.
@@darkmatter9643but it's similar to what ranni does , she kills the two fingers and go to a journey through the stars , she basically turns into a devine entity , maybe miquella wants to do the same but instead of leaving he wants to rule over that land
@@brucethegreat7564 The age of the stars makes Ranni the new marika, but she doesn’t use an erdtree, she just goes to the moon, with the tarnished.
@@darkmatter9643 Not quite. The description on Miquella's helmet piece states that it would have been the basis of his new order _instead_ of the elden ring. He wasn't aiming to just replace Marika but the elden ring as well. Either by substituting another outer god in the great will's place or trying to fulfil that role himself and skipping the middle man of having something akin to the elden beast at all.
What's funny is that, instead of saying that ER is gay. He could have used it as a way to use the game as an anti-woke game. Cause the main villain of the DLC is literally gay.
lol he could of!
Yeah the only game that let me take out a gay/trans main boss. The game doesn't shove anything down the throat though. Because none is explicitly said so. Also his alternate self name is saint "trina" ffs lol. Its an anagram.
@@Ashley-sk9drSt. Trina isnt Miquella.
@@Asgaardiangatekeeper St. Trina is Miquella, in the same way that Radagon and Marika are also the same person. It's plays deeply into the alchemical duality theme.

Gods just do shit different. I really don't think there's much sexuality involved.
I think Elden ring is actually a very good example of how to seamlessly add diversity in all possible ways without it being overtly cringe and fake. Every major movie/game/etc company should be taking notes
Exactly
For real- to this day people forget that even in DS1 we had gender ambiguous or outright trans (depending on your veiws) characters.
Gwyndolin was a young boy raised to be a woman.
Dark Souls 2 had a coffin that "killed you" then you respawned as the opposite gender.
To be fair I can't exactly say there is no incestuous stuff, but hey, it's GRR Martin we're talking about here. He loves that shit
@@ladyazalea6131 Ds3 had the ring you could get to change your gender as well.
Where even is diversity in ER (DLC)? Is it Miquella? Or maybe Leda and Freya being "main npcs (and knights)", that are females? I dont even think it is a diversity. The reason being is Fromsoft hadnt diversity in mind when making these characters. They just made them because they fit the best in this game setting.

Complaining about women in From Software games when pretty much EVERY game of theirs had a badass girlboss (an actual boss or female character) is pretty much like bitching for views.

I've only played Bloodborne+DLC, Elden Ring+DLC, and Dark Souls 3+DLC, and just in those 3 games I can name a ton of strong fighting female characters off the top of my head.
Ellen The Crow, Sister Fride, Lady Maria, Malenia, Loretta, Tichie, Nepheli Lox.

Sister Friede was arguably the hardest boss in DS3, and Malenia was definitely the hardest boss in base Elden Ring.

Pretty much
So... he got the Miquella story wrong?...
Is he wrong?
@leontudor6549 yes. Miquella doesn't romantically love Radahn. He just needs a consort so that he cam ascend to god hood, and Radahn was the strongest demigod. Radahn also isn't even consenting to this.
Well...Miquella IS a femboy ....and there is a definition of the word consort you can look up that makes the femboy and his relationship to his BROTHER very suspect.
There IS a lot of gender swapping going on in the game, just saying.
I take Miquella's vow to be a very nieve thing that stemmed from his respect and admiration for Radahn. It can very much be read as queer which I love because it makes the situation even more fucked up and tragic.
What’s funny is that radahn didn’t even consent to being made gay lol
When I hear the word consort I think husband/wife so I can see where he’s coming from in that regard. Also have you heard about game of thrones at all? I heard there’s incest everywhere in that 😂 so that’s not surprising at all. The miquellestor definitely violates radahn
I was subbed to him for a couple years and he just became a meme. I too, cannot stand woke crap, but this guy is almost so paranoid of wokeness, it's as if he believes gay ninjas are gonna jump him if he doesn't call it out daily. He may be projecting tbh
Before I’d wonder why, but after seeing Dead Domain’s video, I get it
dude saw his rant videos got more views, so he kept doing them to the point where they warped his brain. His audience constantly hating on him and feeding into his insecurities only added to that issue.
I think trying to finding any agenda (even the possibility of it) on everything you see is an unhealthy way of living.
for sure
What does agenda mean ? People who work at fromsoftware likely have political views that they want to share through their arts, so in some way the politics of Miyazaki and his devs will be reflected in the game
@@ni9274 its a fantasy game where potions go brrrr, stfu
Damn @ni9274 that's a cringe perspective. I think what u mean is, as artist, people try to reflect their view of certain topics through art, it's ok, that's how art works. Problem is when there is an agenda, it's not art anymore, it's propaganda and i really doubt there is any in a fromsoft game. Looking for any agenda is a really insane way to live, as for Anita Sarkeesian and Synthetic man, that's fucked up, we don't need that.
@@ni9274Not always. Art is made from the artist’s perspective and whats happening around them at the time, but not all art or artists are political.
Miquella's story in this entire game is essentially "I'm not gay, but godhood is godhood"
Synthetic man is a cringe contrarian. Entertaining though I’ll give him that 😂
Yeah its pretty funny to listen to. Brain Rot in full effect
This guy is the other end of the extreams. Like hes GoW Ragnarok review is horrendous and filled with out right lies that can be disprooven with the most basic of fact checks.
I remember when MauLer and the EFAP crew took that one behind the shed for 11 and a half hours straight. Definitely one of their better episodes in my opinion
The only thing that baffles me that they cut the extremely graphic secs custcene between Miquella and Radanh before the fight starts. Fromsoftware dropped the ball there.
But Miquella is just charming them, that's like the whole reason he's your enemy bruh
"He can turn your character gay!"
Unless you chose bodytype B when creating your character
Consort often is used as someones lover, no?

What does it mean to be “anti woke”? Hating queer people and women and POCs being in your white cishet media? I bet you hate those demographics in your daily life too.. Imagine claiming something like that without hesitation. Beyond cringe. We’d literally be living in Germany circa 1940s if y’all had your way.
Dude same. And he could have used the DLC to be anti woke since you kill the gay femboy rapist and free his victims at the end. 😂 Guy missed on a good joke.
So you’re anti-woke but you’re fine with characters seemingly having multiple genders and no gender option in the menu ? You people call games woke for less than that

@@SpadeApeiron Uh....cool...?
@@poweredbythemakyostar8896 I blame the "consort" thing, being an issue of translation between dialects. "Consort" more refers to "consortium" but in the way that it is used, it does not match. Essentially, the little creep Miquella wants to install Radahn into power. Like God endorsing a king. This isnt even the only translation issue in the game. The most prevalent example, being Ranni's "Age of the Stars" monologue. The translation makes it sound like a really bad thing, but it is actually probably second best, to the Frenzy Flame ending.
That "review" gave me brain rot 💀
loll im not surprised
His point on female bosses is dumb asf
But I dont think he is wrong about Miquella and Radahn lol his rage over it is hilarious, though
What i find amusing is that in every other instance, no one has a problem with consort meaning basically husband or wife - no one bat an eyelid wheb marika had children with godfrey, no one bat an eyelid when she ####ed herself as radagon and had incest babies, but now that the incest is gay, it COULDNT POSSIBLY BE.
NOOOOOO.. YOU CANT JUST MAKE CHADAHN GAE 😢😢
Like hello, its george we are talking about here.
Yes, you most certainly can.
6:43 i mean you literally marry ranni thats what the ring is for 😩🙏😩🙏😩🙏
So there is no gay incest because you disagree what the word consort means.
Consort means companion too and in the japanese version they use king and god instead.
Consort meanings.
1: The spouse of a monarch
2: A husband, wife, companion or partner ( notice how all of these are on the same section so they are all sexual or romantic)
3: Well publicized sexual partner of a monarch
@@RyuSaarva the japanese original version uses the japanese word 王 which means king, NOT consort. All this implied sexuality is because of a mistranslation.

@@RexDolo in a sort of political marriage of power. not ramntic or sexual. sp not gay.
@@grimdarkness2137 that’s your headcanon , it’s never stated to not be romantic and miquella’s sphere is kindness and love so it’s weird to assume it’s a loveless marriage
@@RexDolo dude it's not headcannon. The 2 made a vow with each side gaining something (we don't quite know what Radahn gained, but Miquella gained a lords soul as his "promisory consort"). By the time Miquella is ascended via the divine gate he quite literally shed himself of love. On top of this consort is just a mistranslation, as in japanese Radahn is just referred to as a king (elden lord) and Miquella a god. The only sort of 'love' that ever was, is sibling love and adoration between the 2.
Look, I feel like there were rare points in synthetic man’s reviews that I do agree, but my god it’s impossible to find anymore knowing the majority of outlandish takes go with female, gay, other race, etc. it’s tiring, frustrating, and just questioning.

Would someone please sit down and tell me what "Woke" is and why it's bad? I thought I knew, but now I feel lost.
It's when there's a woman.
It’s basically used to describe something as being on the left end of the political spectrum.
At this point it's used to categorize a piece of media when someone sees anything they dislike. Like women wearing armor: woke. A gay dude appears: woke. A black person exists: woke.
The term is supposed to refer when writers use those aspects and center on only them to make a story that its not good and or cohesive. Like for example when something like that overwrites the original lore of a preexisting fictional world. But to people who just hate seeing any minority, as soon as they appear, it's woke. It's very stupid.
To simplify, "woke" used to mean when left leaning individuals forced their ideals into certain franchises or product. But now the right calls everything woke leading to the term for many to lose its meaning.
Easy dude let me explain. Women = woke, men = woke, different races = woke, sex = woke, movies = woke, tv = woke, music = woke, the internet = woke, the air you are breathing = woke, you = woke, your mum = woke, your dad = woke, the past = woke, the present = woke, the future = woke.
"Woke" has lost any and all meaning that it might of once had, only dumb fucks use it as a term now.
He's completely and intentionally misinterpreting what consort means in the lore,an empyrean actually needs a consort to asscend to godhood because that consort will become elden lord which is basically an enforcer of their order,Miquella has no intention of having sex with Radahn,he's basically just using Radahn as a safe guard for his order as if he were to ascend into godhood Radahn would serve as an incredibly powerful elden lord and Miquella's order would be secure,a consort is not a lover,as seen with Marika having no love for Godfrey beyond his usefulness to her order,we don't even know if the act of producing children between a god and their lord is even sexual...
That is also what I choose to believe as well, and it is logical. Others will disagree.
He clearly didn’t find St.Trina
How is using a great shield Cheesing ?
At this point anything you use in Elden Ring is op 😂
Did we forget who helped write elden ring...

@@Murgraht George R R Martin idk if you trolling or not but like yeah guy was weird
I also felt that Miquella wanted incest with his older brother, and he had incest with his sister Malenia. But his ability to take your heart is simply his charm ability to brain wash the masses into following him.
Our favorite Racist is baaack!!!
lolll
My favorite right wing lunatic
I love how limited the mind of some people is, even if they are aware of the bullshit our culture is facing.
So what has he said that's actually wrong? If there's a bunch of gay stuff in elden ring. What is that incorrect? Is miqeulla or how ever you spell his name not actually a man but a woman? As for his statement on micro-transactions. I watched his ad to confirm what you say. He's outright said we all do things for a sponsor. If he gets that money then get that money. You yourself have stopped pretty low for click bait reviews. As for anyone else who reads this. If you look at his other channel "brain rot". This man does not handle criticism well. Yet he will claim others do not handle criticism just simply for responding to what others say. When some of us asked if he himself could handle criticism. He piped down and stayed quiet. XD
Though, even if I may be very wrong, I believe Miquella actually changed sex to be female.
And that, from a lore perspective, is completely fine.
Being an Empyrean might have a deep connection with having a womb or at least femininity.
Miquella is the only male empyrean out of 5, and there is an analysis from "The Tarnished Archeologist" that evolves better onto this, but basically you get chosen by the Fingers to be the new God of the Tree of the next Era, and this implies that you will have the duty to produce life, from yourself and from the Tree, or actually both at the same time since the Erdtree's life giving powers are literal, and Miquella tried to create a new Erdtree with the Haligtree. For this to work, you are probably more inclined to do so if you are a female.
Melina was the Kindling Maiden, Malenia was cursed with the Scarlet Rot, Ranni rebelled to the Fingers and to the Greater Will.
We see Miquella, but in the version we see (s)he isn't a child: maturation and metamorphosis is completed at the Gate of Divinity.
She looks fully as an adult woman or at least in her late teens. The proportions between the shoulders and the hips, if watched up close, clearly are the ones of a woman.
What better way to get to the peak of Compelling powers, to Win Hearts, than to evolve into a Goddess just like Marika did?
Miquella abandoned the ways of his Father, Radagon, to embrace his Mother's.
Him to DLC:"You are gay!!"😭
Game:"no,You are gay!"🤣
"It was his money and if that's how he wants to play the game then more power to him."

@@jeremiahooms4716 They could be a little more creative here instead of doing the same-old modern DnD troupe. Traditional fantasy did it right. Female characters and those of weaker constitutions (and thinner frames) would be wizards, mages, alchemists, bards, etc., while barbarians, paladins, and swordmasters would have medium or bulkier frames befitting the overwhelming majority of the people who had those profession in history---men.
I usually tell the difference between delusional and legitimate critique or observation. If someone begin commenting about a ambiguous gender or identify or race or something like that it needs to be explained otherwise it just sounds like a anti-woke rant or a legit concern of shoving something that isn't their. My main example is why a lot of naturally red headed women and men are being replaced by black characters. Starfire, Ariel, Marry Jane Watson, Bat Woman kind of but not really, Jimmy Olsen, Hawk Girl in the Flash, Annie, Wally West and Iris West I guess as well. It is a repeating occurence. It isn't me hating Black/African people I am thoroughly curious why that pattern is repeated. But a strangely a lot of them are superhero media. It isn't the White guy is now Asian, the black guy is now white. The mexican is now Indian. It is this one specifically.
You know he's not wrong you can interpret the lore into what you want so he's right in his own head cannon. Now he's still crazy and wants to see wokeness in everything.
My personal lore is that Miquella does want to have sex with his brother and have kids. I think that because one it's funny and two me and my friends wanted a Miquella ending were we married the femboy so it's more of an insane joke for me.
As for the Ranni thing it really depends on your choices throughout the story because depending on your choices she addresses you differently. One's more formal and the other is more romantic in it's own way.
This guy's search history tells a tale...
I've only seen like a couple of his videos maybe about 2 years and go and felt like something was wrong with his videos but damn, seeing the whole comment section here and re checking his content i want to puke.

Rather than simply watching him 'hate' or pretend to hate something, I would be curious if there are games that he actually likes (for real, not to grift and pretend).
It must be a weird site to see him smile genuinely.
Edit: 2:31 What show are you talking about? Are you talking about The Acolyte? Because that one _hasn't_ been canceled.
He generally has some decent to good takes when it comes to talking about game mechanics and systems, but whenever he talks about story, characters or wokeness, it's just painfully cringe.
yup thats exactly it
@@joshprimegamingI wish he'd just stick to talking about games as games, but then maybe he just wouldn't get half as many views lol
Sometimes.
The truth hurts
damn... thats fucking WILD
screw you haters. ALL HAIL SYNTHLER!!!!!!!!!
uh.. is any long time souls fan surprised by Miquella's character (besides the whole Radahn thing)? We know Miyazaki has wanted his own version of the Griffith gay femboy forever. Miquella is just an evolution of Gwyndolin / Lothric. i blame the incest scenario on George RR Martin.
The comments in that video agree with him and call us redditors 💀
This is so brain rot wth am I even watching. By this guys logic he probably sees Casca and Guts as a multi race couple. And not for their characters 💀
Also, YES, a consort in elsen ring is equal to marrying a character, people, stop coping withthis shit, we have been, for TWO FUCKING YEARS been saying that the age of stars ending is the "cool" ending because you literally marry ranni, ffs, you get ON ONE KNEE AND PUT A RING ON HER FINGER, yes, we MARRY RANNI when we become her consort.
Same shit with miquella and radhan, that was what miquella wanted, stop with the cop out, you cant sudenly erase two years of everyone knowing what a consort was in elden ring to sudenly saying "well you seez its actually not marrying in this case" and DO NOT even try this bs of wanting to erase the marriage between the tarnished and ranni because now, sudenly, consort does not equal marital partner because "dem gayz" will ruin miquella amd radhan.
I never though of it that way
@@joshprimegaming my dude, two years, we have TWO YEARS of lore out on youtube and the internet, with dozens upon dozens of youtuber whose sole carreer are abou telling the lore of this game, and not once, not a SINGLE time, consort was EVER used in any other context other than to refer to a husband/wife relationship, both by in game itens and the people that tell said lore, WHY now, when its in regards to miquella wanting radhan as his consort, its sudenly a problem? Why now its the "well you see, a consort is not a husband... Well its not ALWAYS a husband... ITS NOT GAY ITS NOT GAY ITS NOT GAY" discurse? I know i soumd agressive, but i'm brasilian, this is how we discuss things here, what i'm doing is genuinely asking: why its a problem now? Specially if you stop to think that, the people at from probably foresaw people wanting to say consorts where "guardians" and then added the shadows, the ACTUAL guardians to the empyreans (wich are marika, ranni, miquella and malenia), so tou know, characters like maliketh and balidd are the ACTUAL guardians of the empyreans, while whoever an empyrean refers to as a "consort" was ALWAYS, with no room for misinterpretation, regarded as a marriage partner.
Also, about ranni, same thing with my question above, both the game and the youtubers ALWAYS made it veru clear, almost spelling it out for the player: "YES YOU ARE MARRYING THE BLUE DOLL", so why is that now, two years later, sudenly, no, we never marryied ranni, actually, she wanted us to become her guardian, said the person trying to hide blaidd poor corpse as he tryies to fight off the two fingers infleuence to continue being ranni shadow (i.e her guardian) while also plucking their ears and ignoring ranni refering to us as her consort, lord, elden lord, and such, all terms we know very well that in this context, means that sje is basically calling us her husband.
@@joshprimegaming
Dudes right. Miquella is a femboy, brought his brother back from the grave and basically married him. It is what it is. They used the word consort. Could have used several other words if it was any other way. Champion, Protector, Guardian, etc etc....but they specifically used consort. And this is the same meaning given when you marry Ranni.
@@LogicallyKnot exactly.
Also, this thing is co-written by martin, why are people so surprised that we have a gay incestuous plot? Hell, we already has this with mogh, but now, all of a sudden, it became a problem and should be removed from the game?
@@Kebin13
These people are in extreme denial about what's really going on in this story 😂 Trying hard to twist what is plainly in front of them. They can't cope. It is what it is. I'm just here for the bosses man 😂
.....nope miquella is still my favourite character
As a fairly conservative dude we do not claim that person…but going after the troll king??? You’re looking for some smoke…
I love smoke
How's his interpretation of the lore any less valid than your interpretation consort could mean companion but it usually means a spouse for royalty could be either one really
Cause this guy wants to just sit on the fence and act like there’s no homo shit
He will never like one game
Alan Turing would make this synthetic guy freak out.
I can only think of 3 characters at most that are explicitly gay lol, even marika/radagon is only technically
Let's be real, the game is about tearing down the last vestiges of a racist, abusive theocratic nationalistic monarchy, and the upshot of what is widely considered to be the most popular ending is that you fuck off into space with your GF and her god and let the Lands Between figure out its own shit without the interference of Outer Gods, the base game was already woke in any way that actually mattered. Him freaking out about the gay femboy brainwash "romance" in the DLC is just proving he wasn't paying attention.
And just to be clear, it seems kinda like missing the point if you think that anything that Miquella is doing to Radahn is presented as a good thing.
In this DLC we literally fight the allegations.
Elden ring is way too cool to need to be woke
lol 4 real, they dont need to pander to anyone and they dont
This is where culture war gets to after long enough. Anything with a gay romance or any minority in the leading role is woke. Any show with a white straight male leading role is problematic. There can no longer be good shows any more without it appealing to some agenda according to these people's logic.
Elden Ring is woke under the definition of woke
I choose the same interpretation of Miquella’s relationship with Radahn as you, it’s logical and I question how consensual it was. However, you also said it’s up to interpretation, and VaatiVidya and many others probably already have a video about how they agree with Synthetic-Man. Hell, I saw one being recommended to me before I saw your video, lol. I will say he goes too far sometimes, like saying Miquella turns us gay when he steals our heart, although he could just be joking, I am not a mind reader. I will also say that he was too hard on having a couple new female characters, they didn’t crap all over the men or anything else either.
