The Shen Yuan Nightmare

I've been labeled a stan and anti for almost everyone in MDZS at this point. Jokes on you I'm a WWX stan that leans troll. 30+

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

Because this sites takes are awful and I can't keep quiet about WRONG things about MXTX novels

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

@danmeimetafan It's either just a romanticized version of JFM/Madam Yu or a rewrite or Wangxian. Reminds me that I need to reread those horrors all over lol

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

The biggest joke out of the MDZS fandom is people genuinely try to say Madam Yu and Jiang Cheng are politically savvy when they're just stupidly impulsive due to their entitlement as nobles

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

@danmeimetafan I really had to read that and as if them staying friends would be a fix it when the entire point was that friendship was questionable from the start and not as strong as their stans like to pretend that it was

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

If LXC, NMJ , and JGY were actually "different people than what their established personalities were" they would have made an incredible world!

Do you people hear yourselves sometimes...

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

side character stans are basically a rebrand of the hipster logic of "I hate this for the right reasons even though I still consume it"

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

I do mean it when I say that JC stans in particular have created a parasocial relationship with the purple rabid raccoon

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

You really don't need to do all that for a fictional homophobic incel man. He won't pop out of the screen to thank you for protecting the sanctity of his trauma. But incel calls to incel

They do displace the Wens, force assimilation but it veers into genocidal action as the gentry seek the complete eradication of an entire group by way of violence.

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

10: But the Wens are politically persecuted, horrendously, and killed due to that former political affiliation despite status of being civilian and losing that political seat

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

11: That political affiliation is made to be a reasonable point to enact violence against them and dehumanize them. Genocidal violence begins when others deliberately seek the utter destruction of a targeted group

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

9: I think in every day vernacular genocide is usually assumed to be of racial and religious condemnation only and the political portion of the definition can be downplayed

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

8: As I had stated before the remaining Wens were more than the handful of 50 people that Wei Wuxian took with himself and the audience is still told of remaining Wens being persecuted by the likes of Jiang Cheng even years later

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

7: Due to this new political hate, the gentry also have taken it upon themselves to begin to force systematic destruction by way of creating slave labor camps of anyone still named Wen

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

4: The scale of manpower within the cultivation world is not just a few hundred numbers. It numbers within the thousands

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

6:We are told by observation of Wei Wuxian former Wens were forced to assimilate into other clans due to the political hate their surname held

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

5: If we are speaking of thousands of numbers for cultivators alone within the Sunshot Campaign the remainder of the Wens were also more than fandom seems to perceive and this by default would fall into the definition of genocidal violence enacted on them

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

3: They violently take over Lotus Pier and put up their own clan military personnel within to kowtow the remaining people of Yunmeng Jiang

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

2: They move violently against the Lans (up to destroying their clan wide libraries and their own historical documentation)

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

1: We can reasonably argue Wen Ruohan's own regime was a force of power to assert assimilation and a forced and systematic destruction of political groups

[The Shen Yuan Nightmare @reneetulle]

I wanted to expand on why what happened to the Wens can be considered more than just a typical "extermination" or just a massacre
