Not at all, no.

END-GAME SPOILER, DON'T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN THE GAME:

I think the funniest thing about Samus's reaction to Ridley is how differently Anthony reacts. Samus sees Ridley, freezes up, has to be saved, can't summon up her suit in time to save Anthony.

Anthony is falling to his death but is still clear-headed enough to freeze a lava monster and use it as a platform to survive certain death.

I think we know who the real hero of this story is

Khuutra, if you're arguing that Samus doesn't have PTSD, then that's a different argument and I'd like to hear your reason why.

However, if you are acknowledging her PTSD, that is an absolute bitch-slap in the face to anyone who suffers from the disorder. Your post wasn't funny at all. Maybe you should take time to learn about the disorder and be a little more forgiving to those who suffer from it.

Samus is a fictional character, and pretending that anything about a fictional character is off-limits for humor is both disingenuous and needlessly censoring, especially in a context where the presentation of this aspect of the character is melodramatic, inconsistent with her surroundings, and inconsistent with her characterization as I am familiar with it.

You're not asked to find my post funny. I do ask you not to make assumptions about my knowledge concerning post-traumatic stress disorder, my own experiences, or the experiences of the people around me. They have absolutely nothing to do with my post.
