I agree. We can sympathize with Seth and dislike Isis but we shouldn't miss the point the author is trying to make. And that is, that Seth is not meant to be seen as a normal human rape victim, he's a god who had big responsibilities towards the humans he was meant to protect. This story makes gods' role to be more like those that deities have in Asian myths, where they can't just do anything they want because they are gods, but most importantly, they can't live and make decisions in the way a mere human would. Even living as a human-styled family ultimately weakens their power... So, imagine if they let themselves react the way a human would.
No one forced Seth to become king of Egypt after Osiris' death, yet he still willingly took that job, and made a mess. The point here is that, no matter what, he needed to be made to step down. And though we can all agree Isis is being a complete b*tch to him, at the end of the day she and Anubis are still the ones that made the other gods move their butts and start actually *doing* something about it...
Isis is not a sweet little flower, we can all agree on that. And she is being a complete lil' b**ch to Seth here, but this isn't the chapter where she is *truly* victim blaming (if anything, that would be when she's trying to get the other gods to destroy Seth, at the end of the season). Here, she's only saying nasty things to enrage Seth and make any excuse for having used Osiris to produce an heir. But all in all, even then she *does* seem to be thinking of Egypt more than Seth does. And she did raise Horus to become a better king for Egypt, than EITHER Osiris or Seth were... Even her secret ultimate resort, of attempting to destroy Egypt, before letting it continue to exist as a hellhole as a hotbed for human torture (and for human *trafficking*) that the other gods had allowed and would possibly allow it to continue to be, can arguably be seen as an act of mercy, in comparison to what Seth was doing (and what the indifference of the other gods was allowing). It can even be considered avenging the humans too, in a way, if the destruction was also supposed to help replace the indifferent gods who were all guilty of not doing much to stop Egypt from turning into the hellhole it had become.
I mean, if you thought of this from the point of view of the Egyptian humans, ...who would you *really* side with?
To be honest that's where I was going with my comments but somehow this topic escalated to which one was more innocent?
Neither are "innocent". However, a certain person thinks that Isis had it worse than Seth and made other/older comments that undermined the seriousness of rape.
No one is innocent, even those other gods. But I believe despite all this. We are free to like who we like and dislike who we dislike.
Great that you finally understood that
Yes, exactly. We shouldn't be putting each other down simply because we a difference in who like or don't like.
It is wrong to like seth and sympathise with him and not like isis. This is not about her being a woman. I just don't like her. She is also a victim, I agree, seth did bad things to her, I agree. Which I hope he apologises for. This is not misogyny at all. I just don't like her. Simple....
