@minmunchlore The lab was built under Project Miseltinn (Pierro's project) and was completed before Sandrone arrived. While in Nod Krai, she stayed in her lab all day and only left to fight Rerir and Dottore. So it always baffled me when people try to portray her as "uniquely" a colonizer.
@Rikkadesuu_@xRhinedottir Can you give a logical reason why Sandrone would personally care about “colonization” and wasn’t just doing her duties as a harbinger? Like sorry, I must have missed the part in her characterization where she’s a hardcore Snezhnayan nationalist 🤨
@xRhinedottir These guys will also endlessly glaze Capitano when his first action in Natlan was trying to beat their leader to take over the country because he didn’t agree with her methods 😭
@SaltpeterSZN@kavehpussyslick The context of the scene was Sandrone intimidating the Traveler by saying "welcome to our territory." Any further reading into that falls apart given that 1) she has no motive in her characterization to actually care about NK and 2) she didn't do anything in the AQ to suggest so
@toastshine@mobiuswife@magicswan_ Not every land conflict in history is an example of colonialism. And I don't know about "downplaying," it's not like the Fatui and the Scions are suddenly friends now. It just hasn't been fully resolved yet.
@IchLacheDE@GachaTruth Like when the Traveler was like “omg Paimon is so impressive, way more impressive than you” it was legit immersion breaking af that Ronova actually fell for that kiddy level shit 😭
@IchLacheDE@GachaTruth No, it kinda depended a lot on Ronova and Rheindottir being stupid. Like when the Tsaritsa goads Rhiendottir into staying it’s obvious af she’s setting something up but because of “arrogance” or something she decides to stay. Same with Ronova.
@Black_Star_Eden@kavehpussyslick That’s literally been her personality since 6.0. If anything, it’s good that she retained her bite instead of being neutered into some boring appeasing character. 🤨
@pinkykiba Like no, he’s just a genocidal maniac that terrorized Sumeru, Nod Krai, and killed, tortured and experimented on hundreds if not thousands of people, who gives af where he’s from. 😭
@pinkykiba And this whole “oh the authors hate him because he’s from Sumeru” narrative these Dottore fans are trying to make because they can’t point to anything in game for defense is so stupid when some of the most beloved and morally good characters in the game also came from Sumeru?
@avenchvvrine@WrongEren As a means of intimidating the Traveler. She was asked to man Pierro’s project. She didn’t do shit otherwise. In fact, the only time she left the research bureau is when Dottore asked her to steal the moon marrow from the Frost Moonscions. 😭
@surtalogichor She’s “yuribait” and “waifuslop without personality” but the moment she shows personality she is a racist colonizing whore. These people need to make up their mind.😔
@zachamesh >hates dottore because he killed her, her little brother, and tried to kill her best friend, not to mention his history of performing war crime level experiments on people and children
>dottore fans: uh actually her disliking him is racist
@nhuybutnsfw It’s kinda bizarre that Dottore fans want to highlight the whole Nod Krai saga when Dottore was literally the one who asked Sandrone to seize the moon marrow from the Frostmoon Scions for his plan? Did his fans forget that or something? 😭
@Remellu Is it just me or does it feel really odd seeing the story treat the Shades so… casually? I still remember when no one knew anything about them, how Oribaxi got killed for reading a book with them, where ancient civs revered them so much they couldnt even say their name out loud
