And for your entertainment my reaction to this.Y'know, it's a damned shame that the devs didn't think about Sekya's character concept and social coding, because when you actually think about her background and attitude, she actually reads as more than a bit of a fascist.
Now for my actual response.
Seyka displays nothing that could be even remotely fascist!
Here are the defining traits of fascist
Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Sekya does NOT make us of
Patriotic mottos
Slogans
Symbols
Songs
Flags
Disregard for Human Rights
Treats Aloy with respect and does not show any signs of treating anyone outside the Quen as less then human, even working with Aloy the moment she meets her.
Identification of Enemies as a Unifying Cause
She has a common enemy with Aloy against Londra but that's because he's a direct threat to her and others.
Supremacy of the Military
Seyka is a proud marine but she shows no sign that she views the Military (or Navy in this case) as anything special.
Widespread Sexism
I don't think I need to elaborate on this one. And no she's not sexist towards men and the only ones she shows any dislike for are ones who are a threat to her or treat her with disrespect.
Controlled Mass Media
No sign that she does this and even if she did she went against it when she put on a focus,
Obsession with National Security
She's trying to insure her fleets safety but that's only because there are so few people left and those left aren't actually helpful.
Religion and Government are Intertwined
She actually speaks out against her tribe so that's already a no.
Corporate Power is Protected
Wears a Focus despite it being forbidden for anyone other then a Diviner to do so and is against those who are trying to prevent her from doing so,
Labor Power is Suppressed
Haven't seen anything on this so will leave it blank.
Disrespect for Intellectuals and the Arts
Shows RESPECT for Aloy, an intellectual, and the "Art" of the amusement park.
Obsession with Crime and Punishment
She never shows any sign of wanting to punish anyone for any crimes they break.
Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Yes, Seyka wishes to protect her sister but from an outside threat NOT her own tribe
Fraudulent Elections
This has nothing to do with anything so let's move on.
I've seen this comment popup a few times when some have tried to justify their dislike of Seyka and Aloy's romantic interest in her but since there's nothing actually wrong with the two's relationship they go for this idea that Seyka is a Fascist because they're idiots. Again the Quen does show signs of Fascism but not everyone in the Quen is a Fascist just like though the Nazies came from Germany not all Germans were Nazies.
This idiot's whole argument is "If you to actually stop and think about Seyka and her character" but when you actually do that IT SHOWS THAT SHE'S NOT A FASCIST!!!
Sorry I just HAD to rant about this because it was so stupid that I needed to get it out of my system or it was going to bug me forever. Just, Ugh!!!
