The Slave Crown and enigmatic sexual slavery

[Sylvie]

I began to play Final Fantasy VI. I noticed that Terra was subservient and compliant with Biggs and Wedge. We all know that this was due to the Slave Crown around her head.

But let's delve into some of the other intentions the Empire had with her.

How likely (realistically speaking) do you think it is that Terra (and possibly many other young women) was being used as a sex slave routinely by people like Biggs and Wedge?

[Hollycat]

With Terra in particular, I bet very very low, they were terrified of her. With any other woman, quite likely

[Wolf Kanno]

If Dissidia's dialogue had any weight, Kefka often talks like he used Terra for more than just a useful weapon. Honestly, it's not something I want to think about. :yuck:

[Sylvie]

I've been thinking about it extensively for about a month, actually.

[Mirage]

I personally find it extremely unlikely that Kefka didn't screw the thit out of her on a daily basis.

[Sylvie]

This is very sexy.

[Mirage]

I think you have a soul mate in Kefka, sylvie.

[VeloZer0]

I dunno, it seems like when Kefka obtained god like powers he didn't really use them to do anything other than inflict death and destruction. One would infer from this that the doesn't really have all that many other drives.

[Mirage]

He might just have some magical constructs hiding in that tower of his that he doesn't show us.

Also, he might have gotten even more corrupted by power after his powers increased.

[Sephex]

What if Kekfa did that whole speech deal, the one that goes, "I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE YOU!" I imagine he said "hate" whenever he thrust and said "you" when he finished.

[Greatermaximus]

Is there any reasoning with corruption?

At some point when you abuse something it can backfire on you. I could imagine embarassing situations for anyone with a device like this.

Eventually it'll hurt someone important and then they'll stop abusing it. Unless their wise enough to take care of it. Knowing Squares idea of this empire I don't want to imagine. Gesthal might have been a little naive at times.

[theundeadhero]

I honestly can't imagine Kefka having the personality to abuse Terra while she wore the slave crown. A random soldier similar to Biggs and Wedge, sure, but it doesn't seem like the kind of thing Kefka was into.

[blackmage_nuke]

I assume she was too valuable to let any of the lower grunts to fool around with and there are whores available to have sex with and abuse in the empire who arent unstable weapons of medium destruction.

[Spooniest]

Plenty of whores, yep. But that doesn't seem to satisfy the lecherous Imperial Troopers. As seen in Maranda, a Trooper is repeatedly "chasing" a woman. Her comment that he won't stop asking her to marry him makes this a kid-friendly depiction of rape.

[Roogle]

I think that the Slave Crown itself is a symbol of complete subservience, but the setting of the story and the characters involved push sexual connotations to a remote possibility rather than making it an issue.

As someone mentioned earlier, Terra was mostly feared by the lower ranking soldiers. I would find it plausible that there was some sort of illicit connection between Terra and an official in the Empire, whether it was Kefka or possibly someone else.

[theundeadhero]

I would argue that their fear comes from the power she has to destroy as well as her "connections" with higher ranking Imperials, but that those connections were not illicit.

[VeloZer0]

Think about it this way, Terra was considered the empires trump card, the original source of their magical power. And I can just imagine how an army would deal with someone fooling around with their WMD for fun.

[Spooniest]

I think they must have been scared of her because SHE'S THE ONLY PERSON ON THE PLANET WITH GREEN HAIR...that and the whole "slaughtered an entire battalion" thing.

Plus, as far as anyone knows in the beginning, Terra is most closely associated with Kefka, who is controlling her with the Slave Crown, as seen in her dream/flashback sequence.

So to review; Kefka goes around telling people in the strictest detail how he'd like to have their entrails for lunch, wears a lot of clown makeup and cackles maniacally a lot...plus he's got this green-haired super-powerful...thing. So my point is, a lot of people's fear of Kefka is being transferred over onto Terra.

Doesn't mean the blatantly chauvinistic and somewhat knuckle-dragging theory that is the subject of this thread (whether or not somebody used the Slave Crown to play a game of hide-the-sausage with her) does or doesn't carry some weight. It's possible, but I find it rather distasteful.

Rape fantasies aren't about sexual pleasure at all; it's the desire in the rapist's mind to exert a sociopathic level of control over another human being, to force them to submit to their power. In its own way, it's a form of megalomania, just the sort of thing that the "gimme gimme" entitled vortex of snot-nosed pubescence that is a teenage boy's mind would dream up.

Yes, but in theory, that perfectly describes who Kefka is as well. So if I may take this thread into a bit of a detour, does anyone think that Kefka would actually go there?

[Spooniest]

There's definitely a lot of implied "violation" of Terra at Kefka's hands in the game itself, particularly if you place her in the first character slot of a party, switch parties and talk to her during the Attack on Narshe.

[Mirage]

What exactly does she say, again?

[Spooniest]

I think, In the Woolsey, she hangs her head and says


TERRA: Kefka...he put that slave crown on my head...

Not too sordid, but it implies violation, due to her expression.

[theundeadhero]

Any of us would express that amount of disgust and being an uncontrollable slave whether we were sexxed up or not. Kefka was a megalomaniac without a doubt, but I think his fantasies were more about being in control to destroy rather than what you can do with someone while you control them.

[Spooniest]

Hell, I was shocked to discover that he stands 5'4" and weighs 105 pounds. You wouldn't know it from what he transforms into at the end of the game, but up to that point, he's actually kind of puny and non-threatening; sounds like if it weren't for his magic, most of the characters could probably snap him in two.

Although he definitely looks a lot taller than 5'4" in Dissidia.

[Sylvie]

I want to keep playing FFVI but I'm honestly more occupied by fantasizing about Terra and her delicious servitude in the slave crown.

[Mirage]

Just wait till you get to the Celes rape scene. You'll probably like that.

[Sylvie]

Does that really happen? I'm seriously horny right now.

[Mirage]

The game doesn't tell you that it does. But you can imagine how two soldier grunts go about "interrogating" a female defector in a basement with no officers around.

[Sylvie]

I'm excited.

[Mirage]

Are you on GBA or SNES?

[Sylvie]

SNES

[Mirage]

Good, cause it was edited out of the GBA version because it was released around the same time as girls being kidnapped and beaten up being all over the news.

[Wolf Kanno]

Man, everytime I read this thread, I feel like I'm reading the synopsis for some really bad group-rape Doujinshi. :stare:

[Mirage]

So that's why you're reading it over and over again.

[Tigmafuzz]

You mean a really good group-rape Doujinshi.

[Wolf Kanno]

That's an oxymoron

[Mirage]

You better start believin in good group-rape doujinshis missy...


You're in one!

[Sylvie]

HEH HEH HEH HEH . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .

*unzip*

[qwertysaur]

They were more afraid worrying if Kefka would use her to set more people on fire than anything else. :p

[the_best_noob]

Sexual fantasies aside, I think it was your choice to decide. It set the level for exactly how evil the empire was. It was kind of a nonlinear impliance, for lack of a better term.

[Christmas]

I read the topic and I know this is one of the best FFVI thread. :bigsmile:
