You know, the only thing I seriously wonder about is where all this bots and trolls boasting about being Maduro fans came from.
They all speak english too, like. There are fucking high quality educational-looking videos going around, spreading misinformation about the whole situation and saying this is "all obviously a planned US coup", and most of them were made few days after the elections happened too. They were made so fucking fast.
And I really dont want to sound paranoic, but so much of those same accounts make so much obviously hideous communism-related comments too. Like at this point I dont even get if these campaigns are being made for english speaking people to support Maduro or for everyone to be against leftists because of "their hypocrisy", "extremist thinking" and because of them supporting a dictatorship.
Like.... whatever it is for, they obviously dont care for whats really happening in Venezuela, and its not focusing on spanish speakers. But its so weird seeing this stuff going around anyways.
Specially when theyre purposefully trying to mix it with United States politics. Like, the US government is obviously planning something, yeah, but I dont think it is what you all think.

I’d kinda forgotten why I was so affected as teenager -> early 20 yr old by the whole “beat the shit out of me so I can lay to rest everything ugly inside I’m ashamed of” request in the rank 10 but yeah. internalised homophobia experience for real.

Okay last post before sleep cuz ngl though I'm not gonna put Conan in p5 simply cuz there's Too Many Things going on with him that I'd have an easier time with Kaito instead which also, can yall see the problem then? Conan and Kaito is similar in that they're both pursuing and being targetted by a dangerous organization, Kaito is at risk a lot more considering how he's practically putting himself out there with his heists as Kaito KID while the times Conan gets in danger is when he tries to get closer to any of his org nemesis' henchmen for evidence, which doesn't happen often.
But despite that Conan has A Lot of reliable allies, Kaito included (not really on the "reliable" part but more on the "ally" part). While Kaito only has Jii-san which is the same guy making the KID gadgets for him and Conan (again not a "reliable" one for Kaito but still an "ally"). And like???????? What about Kaito's other allies? I'm not counting the group Kaito got pulled into by his childhood friend which is a group made to Catch KID and not help 'Kaito.' Like, what kinda allies are that, Aoko only wants to catch the magician thief, Hakuba is... Hakuba (he can be an "ally" but like Conan, not a reliable one), and there's that... witch who never really does anything much to help but give out warnings. (I forgot her name holup... AKAKO! There we go).
Compared to Conan who has like, a lot, and most of em are spoilers so if whoever reading this wanna get into dcmk, feel free to skip. There's Agasa that's the one creating the gadgets for him, Ai who knows his secret and is practically in the same boat as him (since she was a scientist from the org that wanted out yet shrunk too), Heiji which is like his bestie who's a fairly good detective, THE AKAI FAMILY (That entire family is a mf unit bro, there's a FBI sharpshooter, a mom that's a mi6 agent, another highschool detective with skills on par with Conan that knows jeet kune do, a shogi master that's also insanely good at strategizing in general. Like bro, wtf), Furuya Rei aka Amuro Tooru aka Bourbon-- Also a wtf moment there. CONAN HAS PROTECTION FROM VERMOUTH, one of the most important members of that same organization he's pursuing. Vermouth refuses to hurt and especially kill Conan and Ran.
Like, that kid has it all meanwhile Kaito DOESN'T HAVE ANYONE??? The treatment here. So yes, I'm only putting Kaito in p5 cuz he deserves ppl to be there for him if there's barely anyone in his own source material. (Maybe I'd even put Hakuba in p5 too, as a treat, cuz he's also gotten the short end of the stick too). Hakuba can be with Akechi to put some load off his back with the addition of Another thief getting added in their universe except Hakuba is also a menace of his own way so honestly, good luck Akechi.

Speaking of lolcalisation issues, you know some of the Monsters in echoes are referred to as Kami, Kaga also referred to the spirits that power tomes as Kami, and it all takes from Shinto-ism. Basically beings like Naga and Rhea aren't viewed as supreme beings in the Japanese version. Kami includes tons of minor things we consider very non godly.
This is what I meant when I said FE15 retconned Gaiden, in Gaiden, Duma and Mila were not dragons.
Were they Gods like "Yudu" from Jugdral ? I don't know, and we might never know, but afaik, they weren't dragons like Naga, Bantu and co.
Now, about FE16...
Sothis is supposed to have created worlds, and Sothis can create on her own "life" (who was Tiki's dad?). Sothis creating worlds and sentient beings would put her, imo, on par with Tellius's Ashunera in the "God" scale.
What are Nabateans then? Rhea says many times that Nabateans cannot match Sothis in power or in miracles, could they be seen as lesser beings/spirits compared to Sothis? If Sothis is the "supreme being", then the Nabateans are obviously lesser but sill more "godly" than random humans? Idk.
So while Fodlan, in general, sent more mixed signals about the existence of a Supreme Being/God in Sothis (like Tellius), Billy's class and journey to reach "enlightment" and to guide people, the nods to Avicii and the three poisons - basically what friends already wrote about all the buddhist influences - fell back in a traditional JRPG setting mirroring the "born shinto marry christian die buddhist" paradox.
Of course to ask the team who lolcalised FE16 to bring those concepts to an audience that, per them, loves earl grey, was to ask an squirrel to jump to the moon. But from what you're saying it's not something exclusive to FE16 and it's more of an issue in general with some lolcalisations...
