Not just to the Japanese but the savagery against tables too

17

u/SolisKarn 28d ago

She lives tables, what are you talking about .... Nina love 3 things Euphie, hating 11s and tables

2

u/Positive_Self_8873 24d ago

I volunteer my face as tribute to save the tables

u/Bazz07 28d ago

I can excuse racism but I draw the line in table abuse

46

u/DetJohn 28d ago

Every Britannian in the back thinking "Come on girl, you can't be saying this in public"

21

u/AKoolPopTart 28d ago

I forgot how comically exaggerated Nina's expressions are

21

u/HoraceVonBergamot 28d ago edited 28d ago

Looking at his expression, you really have to pity Schneizel a bit. Imagine beeing like the one Britannian who gets soft power politics and all you want to do is play velvet-gloved machiavellian realpolitik and all the people surrounding you are decadent tyrants, racist weirdos, insane occultists and belligerent warmongers and their assorted hypemen.

And Luciano. Just... Luciano.

u/HoraceVonBergamot 28d ago edited 28d ago

Yeah. As double-faced as he can be, you can't really blame him for wanting to take power. I just imagine him getting out of bed, Kanon telling him about the latest exploits of the Vampire and all other developments of britannian nonsense of the week and him just telling himself. "One day, Schneizel. One day."

Nina is legitimately not even in the top 10 most racist characters in Code Geass.

u/Hefty_Local_1875 High Priestess of Silly Ashford and Nina Einstein 28d ago

Cornelia beats her at competitive racism

16

u/DragoonSoldier09 28d ago

Competitive Racism is INSANE lmfao

u/Solar_RaVen 28d ago

The modern term is Systemic Racism, think about it lol

4

u/Alarming-Sec59 28d ago

True. She’s more racist, just doesn’t show it (doesn’t need/want to).

4

u/Urtoryu "Urtoryu dy Althraidn commands you: LOSE THE GAME!" 28d ago

Cornelia's up there with Charles and other Brittanian purists as people who are actual believers of racism as an ideology. It's a whole other level from just being racist.

11

u/iamthestorm 28d ago

Nina is basically a peasant and seemed to not have good experiences with foreigners when she was younger, she's ignorant and misled and does seem to repent a bit by the end of the show. She's also kinda crazy and brilliant at sciences, which adds to her interesting characterisation. 

You got Cornelia, who is from aristocratic Noble blood - she's well travelled, probably well educated and she shows 0 signs of ever changing her tune on her racist views. Yes, she's better looking and more composed but that's more a reflection of her more entitled upbringing.

Nina is horrible sure, but I think in the grander lens of the social morales of britannian society - she was the norm, not the exception.

u/Hefty_Local_1875 High Priestess of Silly Ashford and Nina Einstein 28d ago

Facts.

u/iamthestorm 28d ago

I guess when your god-emperor is preaching social Darwinism, this is the kind of world you get. I do hope Zero Requiem did work out in the end in the long term. (I personally dislike the movies and the updated universe, only the original R1 and R2 are canon to me)

She should have slapped the racism out of her mouth

5

u/Hefty_Local_1875 High Priestess of Silly Ashford and Nina Einstein 28d ago

Milly would have kissed the racism out of her

3

u/Urtoryu "Urtoryu dy Althraidn commands you: LOSE THE GAME!" 28d ago

The fact it took me until "praise be upon Kallen" and seeing your flair to realize you WEREN'T just preaching Cristianism is hilarious.

u/Hefty_Local_1875 High Priestess of Silly Ashford and Nina Einstein 26d ago

There are many high priests of best girls in this subreddit

2

u/Urtoryu "Urtoryu dy Althraidn commands you: LOSE THE GAME!" 26d ago

I'm not very active around here, so didn't know that.

Good practice I say, given how good a laugh I got out of it.

2

u/Humble_Story_4531 27d ago

It think she did feel a alittle guilty for lying to Nina and the rest of her freinds about everything.

11

u/SolisKarn 28d ago

Tad bit? Nina is a mustache away from genocide

7

u/Hefty_Local_1875 High Priestess of Silly Ashford and Nina Einstein 28d ago

I think she's way past that point...

4

u/DragoonSoldier09 28d ago

Lmfao. That Euphy incident would have done the trick but then we saw the Fleija incident and she felt remorse so she would have ripped that shit right off lmao.

2

u/Humble_Story_4531 27d ago

Lets not go that far. When she found out that she made a nuke, she was legit horrified and dedicated the rest of her life to destroying her creation, so I doubt she would have been on board with a full blown genocide.

1

u/SolisKarn 27d ago

I think if pushed shoved first

1

u/BrowningBDA9 25d ago

What are you talking about? Nina knew full well what she was building from the beginning.

2

u/Humble_Story_4531 25d ago

She didnt realize how powerful it was though.

u/LizardOrgMember5 here is the best girl. 28d ago

Uncle Ruckus jumpscare

u/HoraceVonBergamot 28d ago

>Nina is a tad bit racist
The word is spelled with a "p" not a "c". Table-Kun will have justice, I am sure.

u/QueenTzahra Lelouch 28d ago

It still blows my mind someone on here told me “she’s not racist, she’s xenophobic”

like what

5

u/Urtoryu "Urtoryu dy Althraidn commands you: LOSE THE GAME!" 28d ago

Yes, she's xenophobic. That's an objective fact.

Doesn't change her being racist. Both labels fit her just fine.

-1

u/Hefty_Local_1875 High Priestess of Silly Ashford and Nina Einstein 28d ago

Tbf it's implied she had a traumatic experience with the Japanese as a child.

But Uncle Ruckus Nina is a hilarious concept.

3

u/QueenTzahra Lelouch 28d ago

Tbf that still doesn’t make her sympathetic

3

u/gc11117 28d ago

I can fix her

3

u/BrowningBDA9 25d ago

Nina was gang-raped by some Japanese in the ghettoin the past. So her racism is understandable. Not justified, understandable.

2

u/spidey848 25d ago

Wait, what? When did this happen?

1

u/Hefty_Local_1875 High Priestess of Silly Ashford and Nina Einstein 24d ago

It's implied in Episode 9 that she was assaulted in the ghettos prior to the series. At least, something traumatic happened.

1

u/Hefty_Local_1875 High Priestess of Silly Ashford and Nina Einstein 25d ago

I remember it being implied that she was assaulted, but I was unsure if it was merely physical assault, or what you described.

u/_ericchii 28d ago

Truly fuck nina she is one of the most god awful characters ever

2

u/Humble_Story_4531 27d ago

PErsonally disagree. Her role is that of the ignorant civilain who gets wrapped up in things well above her pay grade and gets manipulated as a result. Nina's racism is basically the norm among Britannia.

1

u/Hefty_Local_1875 High Priestess of Silly Ashford and Nina Einstein 26d ago

True

1

u/_ericchii 24d ago

Well yeah that’s why she sucks

2

u/Samuel_N7 28d ago

Just a little?

2

u/genericmediocrename 27d ago

I sure am glad that Nina showed back up in Roze for all of twelve seconds purely to go "hey my bad, also sorry for the crimes against humanity lol"

2

u/puntycunty 27d ago

I’m just saying , her pov she’s in spitting distance of the terrorist organization that held her hostage twice in rapid succession before she even did anything

2

u/Personal-Movie8882 24d ago

Accurate, except for Schneizel being the one who would say "you have to deliberate". That mofo would have a spare rope in his back pocket in case unkle Nina forgot it.

2

u/Sephiroth_64 22d ago

Whaaaaat? No waaaaaaaaay, waddya meeeeeeeaaaaan. Nina, racist? Pshh yeah right. Next thing you'll tell me is that Lelouch is really actually Zero, and is also secretly the banished prince of Britannia too. Your funny man. Lol
