Problematic Femslash Ship Tournament - Round 4

Sakurin - Rin Tohsaka x Sakura Matou (Fate/Stay Night) VS. Griddlehark - Gideon Nav x Harrowhark Nonagesimus (The Locked Tomb Series)

Info and propaganda under cut! This will not be spoiler-free.

Problematic elements for Sakurin:

It's incest + Even just in canon Sakura's dark evil side not only shows attraction to Rin but is specifically pretty rapey toward her, including a bad end to the VN where she forces Rin to experience her (Sakura's) own sexual abuse until she breaks mentally.

Problematic elements for Griddlehark:

Awful to each other since childhood, Harrow especially abusing Gid. Then they got better, then they got worse, then they (maybe?) got better again.

Propaganda for Sakurin:

Sisters separated as children who experience mutual guilty crushes on each each other is already good, and making it so one wants to sexually abuse her sister the second all of her darkest impulses come out is so much fun.

Propaganda for Griddlehark:

They are both deeply horribly traumatized and they are the biggest triggers for each other and also the only ones who understand each other's pain it's great

If Satoshio wins again I will swear foul play until the day i die.

Propaganda for Satoshio:

despite satou being a yandere, and the age gap, satou and shio together are actually very sweet and wholesome! satou comes from a broken home and did not know how to love until she met shio, and shio comes from an extremely abusive and broken home and was abandoned by her mother in the rain. satou found shio and took her in to take care of her, and works a job so she can provide for her. satou also never does anything sexual with shio, and theres a cute scene where they have a fake wedding and exchange made up vows and rings. it ends tragically, and they jump off a roof together rather than be separated, but satou shields shio to make sure she survives the fall, because she wants shio to live no matter what. - Sato, a gay pedophile, spent years seeking love in the constraints of compulsory heterosexuality/teleiophilia (attraction to adults), constantly failing to find connection with anyone she dated or slept with. She didn't understand the sensation of true love until she met Shio. Falling instantly in love, Sato picks Shio up off the street and whisks her home to her apartment to live a married couple domestic fantasy. Sato works hard every day to support her new wife, and the pair recite wedding vows to each other every night. Their love isn't one-sided on Sato's part - Shio adores Sato and wants to be with her forever. - satoshio quite literally cannot be in peace without each other as alluded to the ending where sato dies and shio never recovers from this, continuing the cycle of misery <3 sato is willing to do anything for this girl including murder and will not let shio out of her grasp their marriage promise scenes… ough…. i love them…. they just wanna make each other happy :) that just includes a lot of fine print to what happiness means but still, love to see it :3c

Propaganda for Samarina:

Oh samarina, how the fandom has done you dirty. Samarie is such a pathetic girl, gaining telepathic powers and becoming obsessed with marina and believing they have a special bond as reading her mind and stalking her becomes samarie's only refuge from her daily torment, following marina to prehevil to "protect" her from her father, all the while marina has no idea who she is. At all. If you aren't playing as marina, she will respond with disgust towards samarie always. Also samarie kills marina's dad before she can get closure which is the whole reason marina came so great job, this is how you get someone to love you i promise samarie
