The Lost Castlevania Legend site update (feminism-related)

Archived from groups: alt.feminism,alt.games.castlevania,rec.games.video.nintendo (More info?)

Hello,

I've updated my website, The Lost Castlevania Legend, which is
dedicated to Sonia Belmont, a character in the Castlevania video game
series that has been removed from official continuity by the series'
sexist producer.

http://supergirl.741.com/Legends/index.html

I added a quote (actually 2 quotes) from Volume 106 of "Nintendo
Power". Neat, huh?

I removed the notice at the top of the page that said "Sections with
an asterick (*) by them indicate that those sections have been updated
since the previous release." It's from my Betty Cooper FAQ. I'm not
sure if I intended to use this method on this page or not, but this
page doesn't have nearly as many sections as my Betty Cooper FAQ, so I
got rid of it.

I feel like an idiot. Shortly after I uploaded this page during its
last update, I realized something. You know how I've been adding
information for both Transylvania and Walachia, because I didn't know
which country that Sonia lived in? Well, it was right in the
instruction manual, which I quoted in the Daily Life subsection: "It
was the Middle Ages in Transylvania. ... However, at about the same
time a baby girl possessing special powers was born to a family living
in a remote area of the country." So, there you have it. Sonia lived
in Transylvania. In fact, she was <i>born</i> in Transylvania.
Accordingly, I have removed all Walachia information from the page. I
also removed all "Regarding Transylvania," notices, which are now
redundant, so...yeah.

I deleted some text in the Ethnicity subsection, now that I know that
Sonia was born in Transylvania and did not move there.

I corrected some misquotes regarding Dracula's Curse in the continuity
and Religion subsections.

I added part on the text from the prologue of "Castlevania III:
Dracula's Curse" in the Daily Life subsection to provide context.
Please see my note there for an explanation.

I added scans of pages 84-91 of Volume 106 of "Nintendo Power" to the
Legends Artwork subsection. It's a complete walkthrough of the game
done in 8 pages.

I added a link to Legends' page on GameFAQs in the Emulation
subsection.

I added a scan of a page from Volume 131 of "Gamepro" to the
Resurrection Artwork subsection. It's the E3 preview of the game.

I renamed the mistakenly labelled Music subsection to Castlevania:
Resurrection Music to reflect the contents listing.

I added Legends' full Japanese title in the What is Castlevania:
Legends? subsection.
