(GENSHIN IMPACT SPOILERS)

AHHHHH!
Jeht only likes Lumine in THAT way. In her world quest, she stays outside and plays cards with Paimon all night if you play as Aether, but if you play as Lumine, she asks to share Lumine's tent and bedroll!
And this gets better cuz...
They really went to the trouble of differentiating her approach to each Traveler in their 2D art. She's pulls Lumine in close and has a hand around her waist! She can't even bring herself to hold Aether's hand even in a friendly way, she had to hold his wrist.
That dude in her quest was teasing her about preferring the company of women and HoYo wanted to drive it home even more.
does anyone know if we have irminsul burning this week
Honestly the beginning of Genshin's 6.6 Archon Quest from Tighnari's perspective is actually hilarious.
Imagine your student/daughter in everything but blood just had an awful nightmare, so you attempt to calm her down. Later on, while you're both running some errands in the main City and she suggests talking with your Nation's god about the dream, you readily agree, thinking that this might be a good way to further alleviate her worries.
And then the god immediately orders a mass evacuation of the whole rainforest.

girls yearn for popular media with a butch as a main character
yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.
I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.
Iâm fighting capitalism for two (woman with baby in sling around chest freeing her other hand to lift an AR-15 into the air)

finally some relatable content on ig
I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me

Manipulative fake apologies
Some apologies amount to someone asking for permission to keep doing something bad.
These apologies generally shouldnât be accepted.
(But it can be really hard not to, because who want permission to do bad things tend to lash out when they donât get it.)
(If you have to accept a bad apology to protect yourself, itâs not your fault.)
Eg:
Moe: âIâm sorry, I know this is my privileged male opinion talking butâŚâ
Or, Moe: âIâm sorry, I know Iâm kind of a creeperâŚâ or âIâm sorry, I know Iâm standing too close butâŚâ
At this point, Sarah may feel pressured to say âItâs ok.â
If Sarah says, âActually, itâs not ok. Please back offâ or âYes, youâre mansplaining, please knock it offâ, Moe is likely to get angry.
The thing is, itâs not ok, and Moe has no intention of stopping.Â
Moe is just apologizing in order to feel ok about doing something he knows is wrong.
Another example:
Sam is a wheelchair user. Heâs trying to get through a door.
Mary sees him and decides that he needs help.
Mary rushes to open the door. As she does so, she says âOh, sorry, I know Iâm supposed to ask firstâ, with an expectant pause.Â
At this point, Sam may feel pressured to say âItâs okâ, even if the âhelpâ is unwanted and unhelpful.Â
If Sam says, âYes, you should have asked first. Youâre in my way. Please moveâ, Mary is likely to get angry and say âI was just trying to help!â.
In this situation, Mary wasnât really apologizing. She was asking Sam to give her permission to do something she knows is wrong.
More generally:
Fake Apologizer: *does something they know the other person will object to*.
Fake Apologizer: âOh, Iâm sorry. I know Iâm doing The Bad ThingâŚâ or âI guess youâre going to be mad if IâŚâ
Fake Apologizer: *expectant pause*
The Target is then supposed to feel pressured to say something like âThatâs okâ, or âI know you mean wellâ, or âYouâre a good person, so itâs ok for you to do The Bad Thing.â
If the Target doesnât respond by giving the Fake Apologizer permission/validation, the Fake Apologizer will often lash out. This sometimes escalates in stages, along the lines of:
Fake Apologizer: I *said* I was sorry!
Fake Apologizer: *expectant pause*
The Target is then supposed to feel pressure to be grateful to the Fake Apologizer for apologizing, and then as a reward, give them permission to do The Bad Thing. (Or apologize for not letting them do The Bad Thing.)
If the Target doesnât respond in the way the Fake Apologizer wants, they will often escalate to intense personal insults, or even overt threats, eg:
Fake Apologizer: I guess youâre just too bitter and broken inside to accept my good intentions. I hope you get the help you need. And/or:
Fake Apologizer: Ok, fine. Iâll never try to do anything for you ever again. And/or
Fake Apologizer: *storms off, and slams the door in a way that causes the person who refused their intrusive help to fall over*.
Tl;dr Sometimes what looks like an apology is really a manipulative demand for validation and permission to do something bad.
