Added DiffLines:

!!General:
* Don't fuck with people who have blue, red, green, or white hair.
* Good-looking people should be spared in war because they will probably join your side. Ugly people can be killed indiscriminately.
* You can participate in dozens of battles and kill hundreds of people, and still retain your cute, bubbly innocence with no change at all to your personality. There’s no such thing as PTSD.
* Don’t ever give birth to a main character or you and your partner will surely die.
** Sometimes it will even be at ''their hands''!
* It's okay to use child soldiers if they have special powers.

!!''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'':
* Only a woman with cursed blood will ruin the world if she has children. A man with the same cursed blood won't do the same by ''fathering'' any. According to the village gossip, that is. [[note]] Technically, for the generation in question the only remaining person with the cursed bloodline was that one woman (Cigyn). If the same message was applied to Deirdre at some point, it's likely that the speaker assumed that Deirdre was Cigyn's only child. The man's heritage was not really a matter of public record, especially in that part of the world.[[/note]]
** Furthermore, religious persecution is totally justified. All members and even descendants of an unacceptable religion must be put to death. Witch hunts are for the good of the world, and their only problem is not being thorough enough. Any survivors, no matter how well-intentioned or moral they might be, will eventually commit incest, and the resulting child will threaten the entire world. However, arranging multiple cousin marriages is perfectly acceptable if it will allow you to breed better soldiers to slaughter said descendants more effectively.

!!''VideoGame/FireEmblemSacredStones'':
* Finding a girl from a socially conservative theocracy? Get her addicted to gambling. You'll bond over it.
* Nobody knows who the prince of a nation looks like. Especially if he wears a NiceHat.
* So you ''know'' your master is making you do some pretty horrible things. Well, fight to the death for him - because MyCountryRightOrWrong.

!!''VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance'':
* You should forgive your former best friend who sold you into slavery if everything turned out okay in the end. No need to hold a grudge.

!!''VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn'':
* As long as you're pretty, have special powers and later on get possessed by a goddess, you can get away with committing atrocities like dousing soldiers with oil and setting them on fire.
* Having the power to heal others by hurting yourself is [[BlessedWithSuck a special gift]], and makes you much more valuable than a normal healer who heals others without harming themselves.
* It's acceptable to commit heinous war crimes against soldiers who are merely passing through your territory and not actually attacking anyone.
* It's reasonable to believe in a curse without any proof, even when it means your country has to go to war and commit massacres because of it.
* The lives of the people in your country are much more important than anybody else's.
* If you're an alcoholic and/or gambler, you're a fucking useless dipshit who doesn't deserve anything good. Rehabilitation does not exist, it's just some old wife's tale.
* Human trafficking is forgivable if the trafficker joins your side in a war.
* Your brother’s best friend who betrayed him and sold him into slavery that one time? Total boyfriend material.

!!''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'':
* It's fine for your [[VitriolicBestBuds so-called friends]] to berate you for being cowardly and running from battles you want nothing to do with, [[LastOfHisKind despite them knowing how horrified you are that your death will end your species]]. They really just wanna help you!
* Patricide is justifiable... even when you know it ''is'' your father.
* It's totally okay to nag your potential husband about the mask he always wears and demand he take it off for ''your'' satisfaction, even knowing he obviously wears it for comfort reasons!
* In love with a girl who's in love with someone else and still hurting over it? Propose to her and promise to "heal" her of her painfully unrequited feelings, she'll totally say yes!
* Micromanaging the relationships between your entire army is totally not-creepy and can even be necessary to ensure that their children will have optimal strength and skills. Or put simply: eugenics works.[[note]]this also applies to ''Genealogy'' to a lesser extent[[/note]]
* Related to this, homosexual relationships are pointless and are thus not allowed, despite how much good chemistry the beefy chick and the sorceress have.
* It's okay to be selfish and totally doom the world by refusing to kill the BigBad if it means saving your One True Companion!
* Having your love interest turn your guts to pudding is ''totally'' awesome and not at all painful!
* It's okay to kill and maim things as long as you smile while you're doing it!

!!''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'':
* Once you get married and have children, you have no choice but to leave them in a PocketDimension to fend for themselves until they come of age. They'll thank you for it.
* Merchants, Blacksmiths, Maids, and Butlers ''belong'' on the battlefield.
* Patricide is ''great''!

!!''VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden'':
* Sometimes? You have to commit patricide.
* You shouldn't leave your nephew LockedOutOfTheLoop. He might sell his girlfriend's soul!

!!''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'':
* (Concerning Dimitri's redemption arc) Killing people is okay as long as you feel guilty for doing it.
* (Concerning Bernadetta’s character arc) Anxiety is a hilarious personality quirk that you will eventually outgrow.
* (Sylvain, Lorenz to an extent): Misogynistic womanizers should be forgiven when they can justify it with past traumas.
* Trauma-induced PTSD, depression and DID? Serious issues that need to be handled delicately and properly addressed. Trauma-induced social anxiety and bipolar disorder? Cute and hilarious quirks that can be milked for comedy.
* (All routes except [[spoiler:Silver Snow]], but especially Crimson Flower) World peace can only be achieved through [[TakeOverTheWorld world conquest]].
* (The spoilered route): World Peace can be achieved... through [[spoiler: Theocracy]].
* It's perfectly okay to hire someone with absolutely no teaching experience to become a military academy instructor, especially if [[spoiler:you ''really'' want them to become the next incarnation of the goddess, and you're positive that the [[ThirteenIsUnlucky thirteenth time's]] the charm]].
* There’s nothing wrong with TeacherStudentRomance. Grooming underage students is fine as long as you wait five years for them to be of age.
* If students join your class because you're a popular teacher, they'll be willing to kill their friends, commit patricide or even commit Regicide for you!
* Students can't -- and shouldn't -- communicate with anyone outside of their classes unless the weird new teacher forces them to mingle.
* The history of the world is only as accurate as [[WrittenByTheWinners the powers that be say it is]].
* Technology is bad. If you're in an underground place with Dubstep playing? You're in an EldritchLocation and the people there are ''baaad''.
