Hey! Very quick guide to get everyone thinking about Bara as a genre because it's needed.
Iโm a graphic designer. Got my professional degree by publishing a thesis regarding the bara genre: Iโve done extensive research regarding the subject, itโs origins and how it's understood.
@LankyboxEyejob Trans people, but that ties into an entire thing of transphobia. Most Misandry isn't fatal in a violent way. Men made to be stoic, strong, with no emotions or moments of weakness, leading to high suicide rates, depression, and a rampant, homophobic outlook of what a man is.
@Bruhfoot559 Funny because they are both equally important
*Spoiler*
To close the causal loop, the demiurge (The one with all those insane animations) became Fuli because they didn't exist yet, causing a paradox. That Cyrene is currently an AEON. So they are equally important.
@OmironT@monsterballz1 But if you do enter with a holier than thou attitude with little to no nuance, you are doing the same thing you claim they are doing. Deciding you hold moral authority to a situation more complex than the black and white paint you color it with.
@OmironT@monsterballz1 Maybe rather than generalizing (which comes from a bigoted playbook) we do the work IF we are gonna enter these conversations with others. You don't HAVE to participate in these discussions, cause not everyone is equipped to handle them.
@T4gged@gcldenlightning Like yeah, THEY'RE having the time of their lives, but everyone else? Well she just ripped their planet open like a lotto ticket, so probably not. Just like how the Phantasmoon games are fun, but constantly end in tragedy or ruin; many people are just victims of Aha's 'FUN'
@T4gged@gcldenlightning Criticizing a game is HOW you show you love it. I personally don't mind them because enough of the animations contain whimsy and delight, the things Aha takes great pleasure in. The destruction represents THEIR careless nature.
@egorenagadeboy@StarRailVerse1 Hyacine is good because of her interaction with MBlade passive and her Ult allowing her to essentially attack twice in one turn. So the 4th slot needs to focus on Acheron, and Jiaoqiu and MBlade together breaks her UTL damage ceiling. Easily over 1 mil when built right.
@egorenagadeboy@StarRailVerse1 Honestly? I currently have an E2S1 Jiaoqiu, but unless you have an E2 Tribbie, she's the worst pick of the three. She doesn't give Acheron her full passive and that costs her a lot of DMG. Pela can work, though if you have Cipher ๐ that's better. Overtune her and you're good.
@OmironT@Arttyor_ Wasn't Mansplaining (I don't think you know what that word means) if they aren't wrong. They are fully correct in the fact she was wrong. And I already addressed that but since you are just trying to find something to say rather than have a dialogue, we're done here.
@OmironT@monsterballz1 And those people, like all extremists, are wrong. But to lump everyone with them because you are uncomfortable with vitriol and anger? To absolve her of ALL blame because of a few bad actors? There is nuance in this, regardless of whether you choose to see it.
@T4gged@gcldenlightning Interesting because what about memories aren't just happy and resplendent. Why don't we have an ability where Cyrene reflects on the tragedy of her friend's deaths? Because they decided to focus on one aspect of memory. The fond feelings and bond of friendship and found family.
@yurictatorship Everyone feels baited because they assumed Aha was male presenting, hence all the "AEON TOXIC YAOI" posts from the Planarcadia trailer. But now she's a woman so that dreamed died and so many are mad about it. But where was this heat for Cyrene? Phainon? Himiko?
@yurictatorship ... I hate to say it because I hate when others say it, but ya'll were never gonna be happy not because it's bad, not because she's an Aeon, and not even because she looks human (So many Aeons look like that i.e. Nanook) but because she's a woman
@OmironT@monsterballz1 Wow, honestly these posts you have been making have been borderline homophobic. Gay men are allowed to be angry about this, who are you to tell them they HAVE to be 'clean' and 'nice' and 'digestible' for them? And yes, gay men can be homophobic.
@OmironT@Arttyor_ So you saw where instead of hearing what people were saying, she doubled down? Passed the buck as said it was her friend's OC so it was okay? We HAVE to stop being okay with being disrespected in our space to appease others. That's what started this mess in the first place.
