This thesis is takin it out of me man.

open to commissions

(Im also a researcher focused on online ethnography. so hi)

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@merqtiooo Truly. She's so bizarre to me. Like whenever I think about her quest I'm just confused as to why Hoyo would do any of that. Were we supposed to sympathize with her? For less than the bare minimum.
I guess she kinda foreshadows Inazuma if you think about it. Idk

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@salkari_ They clearly want to try and sell you on the Raiden Shogun, but Sara? No content and no personality outside of a Ei obsessed military general who actively participated in fascist ideologies and didn't repent for it because she believed it to be righteous. Man she sucks

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@salkari_ Good. Sara is probably the worst character this game has created. Although Ei is an imperialist who attempted to colonise Watatsumi, the game at least tries to humanise her (nauseating as that is)
But Sara isn't even given the fanservice treatment. She just sucks

@Tote_Rose18 @Portergauge Oh how interesting. An overwatch 1 character

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@mishrillette Real.

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@merqtiooo Wriothesley. The moment I saw that one concept with him having slightly tanned skin, I've become enthralled.

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@feodorsdottir Lowkey. That's me with a certain electro archon ship name.

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@obundt @luvwuyang This is where my mind goes. Like ok. So it's facade. It still says a lot about the character that that's the act you chose.

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@QSofatoshi @KATSUT0M @slayercomma Right??? The call's coming from inside thhe house babes

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@explaninglilnax Like if that's not toxic to you, I gotta ask you to reevaluate.

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@explaninglilnax Girl. Sandrone the colonist is currently heavily shipped with Columbina.
I know they tend to sideline that aspect of Sandrone, but it's there. Girl is awful as hell for leading the fatui in their colonial efforts to occupy Nod Krai.

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@TimelyZibai She's just so gorgeous. Like.
You know Hoyo puts all their collective souls and talent into their lantern rite characters.

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@RyanLan57782692 @ayatosdear So they stole it and now we have colonist rhetoric being spread by real people.
Like reread your reply here and then look at any history textbook that talks about propaganda by colonists. This idea that the colonists imporoved their victims lives is just that. Propaganda

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@Iftab778 @InterruptRES Yeah. So that's not a mentally stable thing to do
Even as content, that shit it weird as hell

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@telavisionz She also took her to fake court and had her little dodoco devices repeat Prune saying "I'm stupid" to the entirety of Mondstadt city
She also did not need to do all that to Prune in the first place
Sure. Unconventional methods, but her actions are never treated as they are

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@mishrillette Is that a hot take? I feel like the game makes it pretty clear that Alice is always looming in Nicole's mind. And not in a gay way either (they killed that one pretty good).
And again. It's interesting because the game doesn't acknowledge it. If they do, it'll get watered down

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@mishrillette It's actually really funny how things turn out. I remember being so hyped for Alice like years ago. Because she's presented as so chaotic. And I'd love that character on my account
Now I'm mostly hoping my favs aren't playable.

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@mishrillette Her Ascension 4 voice line had me spiraling. Like what do you mean you were (fictitiously) fighting Rhindotter??? After knocking out Alice. Also. Which group was this?
And why am I hearing this? Nicole. You love to yap and I love to listen. Answer me pleaseee

[Sam (researcher) @Sameoza]

@mishrillette Part of me really hopes the traveler has a turnaround moment. Like "hang on, the coven with the boarder patrol and war criminal are potentially....dangerous and maybe don't align with my sense of morality?" Genshin is so frustrating in these moments because the potential is THERE
