Anne Frank would work for you if that's the case. She could be argued to be a feminest
But Anne Frank is?

The fact you consider Anne Frank a feminist but not Joan of Arc is weird to me.

RM has already said he's not going to hammer. We had a similar situation in Bo Burnham Mafia. Wylted called it a 'negative freefall' I believe.
Great memory. Negative free roll. It's essentially cocky unforced errors in gambling. Like saying "I will give you $50 if you can do 100 pushups" you have no way to make money out of that bet and your opponent is risking nothing for a chance at winning. 

I guess if RM is unwilling to hammer than it might be best to just lynch him and keep doing the same until somebody submits or has the balls to do it. Personally it's a courage thing for me. If he claims super saint and I think he is scum, it makes me less of a man if I can't back up that statement by being the one to hammer

Why o think focusing on the split is useless. Way to broad and anyone could be a feminist if you shift it that way.

I think her personality was probably more like zarroette or Cassie. That's my interpretation.  Let me ask chat GPT though

From chat GPT and I believe I can use it for this purpose

Joan of Arc is not a feminist in the modern ideological sense, but she is a female hero whose life has been retrofitted into feminist narratives.

Let’s break that down without fluff:


---

✅ Why She Is a Female Hero:

She led armies as a teenage girl in a male-dominated, hierarchical society.

She claimed divine authority over kings and generals, flipped the power structure.

She refused to conform — wearing men’s clothes, living by her own convictions, going to the stake rather than recant.

She was feared by enemies and revered by followers, not as a woman, but as a warrior and prophet.


So yeah, she’s a mythic-level badass and a symbol of courage, grit, and divine madness. Female hero? 100%.


---

⚠️ Why She’s Not a Feminist:

She didn’t advocate for women’s rights, systemic gender equality, or challenge the concept of patriarchy directly.

She accepted the existing Catholic order, just believed God had chosen her for a mission.

Her power was seen as an exception, not a call for female liberation.

She operated within feudal Christian ideology, not rebellion against it.



---

🎯 Bottom Line:

Joan of Arc wasn’t trying to liberate women — she was trying to liberate France.
She was a divine anomaly, not a gender revolutionary. But her life has since become symbolic to many feminists because she embodied what most thought impossible: a girl commanding armies, defying kings, and dying for her beliefs.

So in essence:
Joan = Heroic Woman, not Feminist Woman.
Still powerful. Still dangerous. Just a different flavor of rebellion.

Sbe supported men being manly and realise men are often suoerior warriors to women. She just realised she was a good warrior herself.

The French were always ahead of the curve on Feminism. The Frebch guerilla fighters vs the Nazis utilised female infantry.

I want Casey to hammer.
Alright, I will respond to your sus on me. I had meant to do that earlier anyway but kind of forgot.

Yes, it is true that I floated potential theme splits but didn't softclaim myself. It's because I wanted feedback on my ideas, for a couple reasons. I used to always be in favor of doing that sort of softclaim every game back in the day, but eventually started to get away from it. This is a rare game for me, however, in that I'm actually somewhat invested in the theme, so I wanted to talk about it. For another thing, I felt that getting other players' feedback can be valuable. Early softclaims like that do help lock in character claims, but they also can help the mafia figure out who other players might be. Personally, I think your pushback on my idea was helpful in that it gives me a good reason to townread you, as the resistance feels like it comes from a genuine place. AR, not so much, mainly because of the inconsistency of retaliating against my idea but also weirdly townreading me? I don't think anyone else so far other than Mikal has really commented on it.

If you want me to softclaim, however, I'm fine with doing that. My character is predominantly associated with second-wave feminism, though they arguably contributed to third-wave feminism. As for their position on the sex wars, that's a little unclear to me. I think you could call her sex-positive? Not entirely sure about that one. I also don't think that my ideas for a theme split are right anymore given Ultra and AR's claims/partial claims (like I said, I can't see them as being paired), but I don't think my soft gives away very much information here.

Using AI to make your arguments for you is kind of cheap and defeats the purpose of the game. Probably won't mod kill you for it, but try to avoid it.

Want to compare something


Prompt - was Joan of adc a feminist. 

Joan of Arc is often viewed today as a feminist icon, but calling her a feminist in the modern sense can be misleading. Here’s why — and what we can say:

⚖️ Historically Accurate View
Context matters: Joan lived in 15th-century France (1412–1431), a deeply patriarchal society with rigid gender roles. The concept of feminism as we know it didn’t exist.
Religious motivation: Joan saw herself as acting under divine guidance, not as a challenge to male authority or in pursuit of gender equality.
Support of monarchy: She wasn’t advocating for systemic change or women’s rights, but rather fighting to restore Charles VII to the French throne during the Hundred Years' War.
🛡️ Why She's Seen as a Feminist Icon Today
Military leadership: She wore male armor and led troops in battle — unheard of for a woman of her time.
Defied gender norms: Her cross-dressing and refusal to adhere to traditional female roles were revolutionary gestures, even if unintentional.
Martyrdom and legacy: She was executed in part for defying gender roles (heresy charges included wearing men’s clothes), and later canonized as a saint.
✅ Conclusion
Joan of Arc wasn't a feminist in intention, but she is celebrated as a proto-feminist symbol because her actions challenged gender expectations. Modern feminism often looks to her as proof that women have always resisted limits placed on them — even if they didn't call it that at the time.

Would you like a quote from Joan or her trial to illustrate her views in her own words?

Ultra is terrible at fake claims. Psychologically if you can get past that stress early than it might be worth it to do so. I used to do the same. As far as how savant sees her. Well that's important. I am not sure its possible savant is just wrong here, but if he has a special interest in feminism than why would he get this wrong. I actually would prefer Casey's input here since she does have a special interest and see what she thinks of the claim
