My thoughts on the Sandrone ācontroversyā
I donāt care, I genuinely do not care. Yes Iām disappointed they changed her skirt and yes Iām disappointed they replaced pulonia, but Iāve long since stopped caring about what the genshin fandom has to say about female character design bc you guys are never satisfied. Even if sandroneās design wasnāt fanservice yāall would still find something to complain about just like you did with linnea and Nicole.
And donāt think I havenāt noticed how you never have this kind of energy for the male characters. Dottore is a walking potential man archetype and yet you all glaze the fuck out of him. Lohen didnāt even exist until recently and looks nothing like what you would expect a knight captain to look like, but you drool over him bc heās a yandere. You love to talk about how great Yun Jinās design is but only when itās time to complain that a character has a short skirt, you sound like conservatives and itās fucking disgusting. This fandom is a misogynistic hellscape and Iām tired it being tolerated under the guise of feminism.
This game is 5 almost 6 years old, thatās more than enough time for you to decide that this game and this company arenāt worth your time and to play a game that respects its female characters, but instead you stay and complain like a girl whining about her boyfriend being a deadbeat but making no moves to leave him.
Iām not against critiquing companies when their female characters are designed poorly, but you do this with every fucking woman that gets added to the game - combined with how the comments of a female characterās drip marketing will get swarmed with people whining about the lack of male characters, Iām starting to notice a trend.
You are not feminists, you just want women to be seen and not heard but still maintain a girlboss image while men receive praise for the absolute bare minimum. Fandom is supposed to be a space for fun and respectful discussion and you (and 100 other fanbases) have sucked the joy out of it.
Fuck you guys. Genuinely.
(Before you all hit me with the āleave my billion dollar company aloneā meme, I 100% agree that hoyoverse is greedy and lazy - especially with primos - but as Iāve clearly stated before even when they design women the way you want them to, itās still not enough. Me condemning the fandom doesnāt mean Iām defending hoyoverse.)
Edit: and another thing, I donāt know how you guys are gonna complain about Sandrone having a short skirt and then praise Naviaās design even tho her skirt is the same, or how you glaze signora but if she were added today, you would despise her bc of her outfit. If youāre gonna be a hater, be consistent.
