"I talk about it with the writer all the time" DO YOU MEAN THE TRANSLATOR, CORINA???? Because I promise you that the person translating the game into EN doesn't have ANY SAY on the actual writing of the story!!!
@aslisoham
Corina Boettger is Paimon's EN VA in Genshin and on top of these bizarre takes about Childe, they've actively been stirring the pot in the Genshin community for a while now, saying Traveler is a minor, Paimon is a child, etc, none of which is actually backed up by canon.
Sumeru takes inspiration from a whole subcontinent yet chooses to model their playable characters after the palest populations within that massive area, whilst using blatantly orientalist designs. That is, at best, colourism, and at worst, racism, and it isn't toxic to say so.
This was not my intention so I need to correct the record: I am not bisexual. I happen to be straight, but I am also a fierce ally and the last thing I want to do is falsely co-opt the struggles of the LGBTQIA+ community. 3/5

Relationship building (and climaxing) as the fic finally earns its e rating ⬇
The VAs are not responsible for character design, their characters' kits, the damage output, a person's ability to pull the character, losing a 50/50, or whatever bullshit reason people have in their heads for sending them hate. Don't harass others, it's really that simple.
We started off okay since I announced Dori but unfortunately that didn’t last long. DMs are closed, you guys. For folks who’ve been kind throughout, I appreciate you. Actors are not their characters, at the end of the day.

This! I needed him to be in the same position as Jean 😂"Acting" Grand Master, sure, but lbr Varka's never coming back, he saw all the paperwork the job entailed and ran off to make it Jean's problem forever.
@JenosonTwit
Exactly this! I've seen so many posts where they're actively dehumanizing people just so they don't have to feel bad for harassing actual humans over fiction. They've already made jokes about it; they're eagerly waiting for it. They don't care.
Thinking of an Aphrodite and Hephaestus haikaveh AU. Kaveh as the god of beauty & romance, engaged to Alhaitham, the castoff son of the queen of the gods. He's initially horrified, imagining the Forge to be a horrible, dark, hot place, reeking of sulfur. Instead he finds beauty.

Your points about Zoroastrianism deserves to be said but maybe as separate thread instead of QRTing someone's cute, harmless fanart. It just comes off as Islamophobic instead of informative, which I'm sure was not your intent.
This is a very cute hc, I just want to mention that Kaveh has clear and multiple Zoroastrian references in his constellations and he would be celebrating Nowruz right now because he is Iranian. No negative feelings toward the artist btw, it's still adorable
@indominus_cos
Lmaoooo "cares about his own image more than his brother's safety". Bro spent half his story quest looking like a fucking idiot in front of treasure hoarders and Fatui just so that he could protect Teucer's innocent worldview. It's never been about his own image.
@KoratheFairy
@sakvaka
You yourself just said that pedophilia is attraction to minors. A 20yo isn't a minor, therefore it's not pedophilia, by your own definition.
@companionrag
Thank you so much for this Dish! So well said! ❤️I'm South Asian, had no expectations for Sumeru and was somehow let down anyway. Your empathy and understanding is so so so appreciated.
@Vel_kia
Seeing these three characters together makes me SO incredibly happy, omg. Haitham has WORDS for Yae!! He has thoughts and she WILL hear them. Meanwhile Yae's "hm, he's got a point" face aaaa. And Kaveh's just weary, he wanted a nice vacation smh
@GlitxhhRebooted
Right tho? Like, whatever your opinions, this is just not how you behave with fans of the content you lend your voice to.
(And appreciating Aymeric is always relevant!! ♥️)
@pettykuromi
Why is this dude still involved with the series if he thinks it's so fucking gross? Reeks of a guy desperately trying to take the high road after finding out 'icky' things about the fandom.
Concept: shut up instead of inciting more fandom bullying. 🙄
@venti_later
Exactly LMFAOO. And this is clearly an international broadcast too. Like, he was asked to be interviewed; someone invited him to that show, but he still assumed he was summoned just to be attacked and acted defensively. Us desis just love red and green idk what to tell u, my guy.
This is implying that the show itself was sexist and unapologetic about it, when in reality, those sexist moments were intentionally shown with the sole purpose of rejecting it. It's storytelling. You can't say 'the thing is bad' without showing what the 'thing' is first.
Netflix's live-action "Avatar: The Last Airbender" series is toning down the sexism.
"We took out the element of how sexist [Sokka] was. I feel like there were a lot of moments in the original show that were iffy," says Kiawentiio (Katara).
“Yeah, totally,” adds Ian Ousley
Though he's never seen what lies beneath the mask, he finds beauty in his willingness to accept his ideas, in his ability to see him as more than just a pretty face, in their lively dialogue and their camaraderie.
And so, deep in the heart of the forge, Kaveh finds romance too.
I feel like Ratio's release just highlighted how mischaracterized Alhaitham is because I've seen so many people describe Ratio as "Alhaitham but more arrogant", when arrogance has never been a personality trait of Alhaitham's.
He finds beauty in the cyclopes who run the forge, in their industriousness & their sincerity, unfettered by the expectations of how to look and how to act. He finds beauty in improving the forge, in revamping the place to be more efficient. And he finds beauty in Alhaitham too.
It is NEVER deserved. Wtf happened to you people to make you think that real, living, human lives were worth less than fictional ones? YOU'RE the ones that need to take a good hard look at your moral compass, not us.

idk what's more disturbing here, the fact that these people are threatening violence over fiction, or the idea that grown ass adults can't be sexual because they look a certain way.

@aslisoham
Yeppp, all canon evidence says exactly that. They're some kind of ageless, godlike beings that can jump through universes and the like. But sure, pop out "minor", Corina, cause you like to dunk on people for clout.
Pleased to report that 1) I'm alive and 2) the latest chapter for 'this love' is actually written and ready! A sneak peek (again. proof of life) before I post it:
Thissss! People conflate toxicity (harassing a VA) with valid concerns (racism and colourism in Sumeru) all the time in this community. All the harassment that Anjali received was 100% from those performative activists, not those people actually advocating for change.
i just know all people are going to do is use the fact that dori’s va got hate (which they absolutely did not deserve, they seem lovely) to derail the entire conversation about sumeru. you all are so quick to lump every swana/south asian person into the same negative category

I think the most important detail here is we finally can guess how old Toshi is. If he got OFA around the same age as Deku, he's around 54-55 now.
#bnha301spoilers
#bnhaspoilers
Did no one think of a support item to help Touya mitigate the side effects of his quirk? I'm thinking of Deku's gloves to control the shock from OFA or Aoyama's belt to keep his naval laser from leaking.
Ma'am, Brendan Fraser's been getting fatshamed for years. "Actual fat actor" my ass. Tf was he supposed to do? Gain 200lbs to suit your 'standards'?? Clown behaviour.
I'm sure Brendan Fraser is a lovely person but we don't need a non-fat person to speak for us. And putting him in a fat suit instead of, you know, actually hiring a fat actor was hella wrong.
The Genshin community creates its own content whenever there's content drought in the game and it's invariably drama, and it's ESCALATING. In what universe is a bomb threat okay/funny????

Yeah I appreciate her kind words anyway. But re: the qrts, "We don't care about rep" is such a bizarre mindset to have. Like, ok YOU don't care, other people do?? Ignore the threads talking about those issues, then, sheesh.
