people who say the new aven and robin sps are goonerbait / oversexualised are going to kill me dead. WE ARE GOING TO ASTROPOLIS. IT'S A FUCKING BEACH / VACATION RESORT. and the people who're all like "omg abss" to aven and then "oh.. she's just in her bra and panties..." like alright way to show your misogyny
and also saying these aren't story relevant / would be better as skins??? WE DON'T EVEN KNOW A LICK OF THE 4.5 STORY YET ???? AND ALSO BACK IN 3.8 AVENTURINE SAID HE WANTED PAID VACATION. HE'S ON VACATION NOW. HOW IN THE WORLD IS THAT NOT RELEVANT
and hoyo has shown that even the simplest designs can pack so much meaning, i saw some people saying that mortenax blade was just a glorified recolor and then others analyzed his design and figured out his entire arc before the story even came out. even the simplest designs can pack so much meaning.
i'm just so pissed at people assuming the worst of the worst like NO they're not goonerbait THEY'RE ON VACATION and NO they shouldn't be skins because then it's more f2p friendly and we've known they're getting sp's from leaks for a while now and NO robin is no less covered up than aven is, they both have their stomachs and legs and arms out
it's just so annoying. can we not assume anything about their story relevance before 4.5 even gets teased or explained
EVEN IF THERE ISN'T MUCH STORY THERE AND EVEN IF IT IS JUST A BEACH EPISODE THEN WHO GAF?? AEONS KNOWS WE NEED IT AMIDST THE EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING IN AMPHOREUS AND PLANARCADIA?????
