hoyoverse was faced with either having to make her a complete moron or someone who’s complicit in absolutely heinous stuff and they decided to go with moron. god forbid they actually try to make a character be interesting or nuanced. i miss what the fatui could’ve been
@lesbistaroth I'm sorry for dragging this out, and I promise this will be my last reply, but may I ask what the degrading joke was? I've been searching for it.
@lesbistaroth I know if I said the Heavenly Principles' actions were morally ambiguous, you would despise me as a "colonizer fan".
It wouldn't matter what the game stated, you come across as someone so entrenched in the morals of the game's narrative that you forget this is a chinese gacha.
@Nusan_Traveler@lesbistaroth The someone in question is on a parody account, which they admittedly use to push their theories.
My issue is that the "real world parallels" ARE the point for this circle, and why they react so fervently. This isn't a lore debate for them, they view it as a moral duty.
@lesbistaroth Of course this applies to Solar as well, but the difference is they're posting on a joke account in a relatively polite manner.
Your circle views this as a moral wrong rather than a simple lore debate. This is a long shot, but aren't you a little conscious about your behavior?
@lesbistaroth You say that isn't the main point, but it is isn't it? At least for you. I've seen you on my feed from time to time, and you come across as less concerned with the lore so much as your own interpretation.

"John and Hal will earn each other's respect"
"John saying the GL oath will be so tough"
"Will power will be the main focus bro"
ALL THESE DIDN"T HAPPEN NOW WHAT
"I hope your fav isn't playable" is basic.
"I hope your fav is leaked to be playable, then mischaracterized as an evil beast, then killed, then replaced by a character who stole their name" is terrifying. It's possible. It has happened to me
It's funny how most Genshin fans don't seem to grasp that the playable Durin is essentially a skinwalker, who had the actual Durin killed so he could take his place for Andersdotter's fanfiction rewrite

@notokawaiiyo@CEOofRonova I acknowledge that the game informed of this back in Columbina's debut patch in 6.0. It makes perfect sense in-universe.
I also think that writing those connections to begin with was stupid, and undermined a fairly basic arc for the sake of endearing us to their friend group.
hoyo loves giving their characters morally grey or cruel traits that theyre too afraid to actually show on screen, theyll tell us sandrone cut someones tongue out and that someone kirked themselves in fear or facing mad pantalone but when it comes to actually demonstrating +
