I was right about Camille; She's absolutely a feminist orientated/inspired character

Her dialogue speaks of "privilege" , is blatantly misandric, nearly takes from the suffragettes (Who were not feminists btw) quotes verbatim, horrendously misuses the word "ignorance". Basically she's both a homage and a hilarious parody of feminists. I like it.

I am enjoying Camille for many reasons. Dat accent.

You're an idiot - And I say that as someone very hostile to modern feminism and SJW culture.

Camille's archetype is what I call the Iron Lady (for lack of a better term coming to mind atm) - she's a "proper woman" in the vein of Victorian England: uptight, upright and always polite. She's aged, yes, but like fine wine; there's a care and perfectionist take and all she does. She's also, however, cruel and bloody; her politeness is not a facade, but it is deceptive. Her will is iron, and she is NOT to be fucked with if you value your life.

She mocks boys because they're male children; it's a common trope for Victorian noblewomen to look down on them (much as it is for Victorian men to look down on little girls for being overemotional). She speaks of privilege in terms of wealth and the power of the nobility, not race.

"Hilarious parody" 'Parody' is when you exaggerate the features of something in order to show its flaws, usually for comedic effect but occasionally for real drama and commentary. One Punch Man, for example, is a parody of Shounen and Superhero stories but also has a dramatic shounen story of its own and comments on what makes a hero.

Camille doesn't parody jack shit anymore than any other character in League and she sure ain't funny, not in a way that a parody would be. (see Kled)

But... all she does is kill people for her family. The only time she's done something against her family was when her brother betrayed her. She gave up any hope of a normal rich person life, just to support her family with a pair of blade legs.

I find it hilarious when people do this. They do something, get proven wrong in any number of ways, then attempt to sound more intelligent then anyone by using words that are not commonly used in public speech or buzz words and think that it makes them superior in any way, shape or form. When in reality it is not difficult by any stretch to go to and online thesaurus or dictionary to look up large multi-syllable words and copy paste them in. It really does make a futile argument that much more detestable. The best part is the counter argument was really not all that aggressive. He just decided to take it personally, now it has grown into a large debate on feminism and this kid thinking that he holds some place in the upper class of debate and argumentative skills. "The Prosecution Rests". Except this is anything but a court room and no legal, state or federal, breaches or anything of nearly that much importance has occurred here. This a boards post. Where opinions, wrong or right, stupid or intelligent, are abundant. This post was just plain wrong, and then defended to think that it was right, with fake and incorrectly assumed intelligence, which makes it stupid. There was no feminist influence on Camille or inspiration of any kind. Quoting her in game lore " Camille is an elegant and elite operative who ensures the Piltover machine and its Zaunite underbelly runs smoothly." "Raised among manners and money, she is the Principal Intelligencer of Clan Ferros, tasked with cutting down her family's darker problems with surgical precision." "With the family's focus set upon Camille as the eldest surviving child, no expense was spared in her education, instilling both her aristocratic attitude and sense of duty at an early age." She is an aristocratic woman that is indeed of the archetype (The Iron Lady). A woman of resolve, intelligence, and precise execution. In fact Riot has stated many times over there own streams that Camille is a woman of precision. And they wanted the people that played Camille to get that feel. Her quotes are not threats they are definitive statements. Her saying "Let me be clear. I will kill you" Is not a threat, but to her a definitive truth. She will kill you, regardless of the circumstances. Today's modern feminists make many empty threats. Camille makes promises. That she knows with the utmost certainty that she can and will keep. That is what Camille is. A proper, lethal, woman. (In accordance to the Victorian Times)

If you'd bothered to read her lore, Camille is far from feminist. She is the heir and enforcer of her aristocratic household, and her role in Piltover society is to destroy her clan's enemies, engage in espionage on her family's behalf, and keep those without money or power without money or power so they do not infringe on the stability of the nobility.
