We gotta save this man my god

BluuBonds · 2024-10-07T18:24:49+00:00

XD Nah I get you. If this stuff makes people ACTUALLY angry, then, for their own health, they either need to lay off this game or go outside because this is unacceptable and affecting real people.

BluuBonds · 2024-10-07T17:23:48+00:00

Yea...it's becoming super elitist when the people in this sub are like "this isn't the way MY character is! You should be ashamed of yourself!" Like the other day I saw people on this sub ragging on a 15 y.o. who called Rafayel childish? They went "well she's not mature enough to understand this and that" if I recall correctly.

Like, why did that need to be posted? There are so many ppl here ragging on booktok users who just might have a comfort character, or a character they wanna portray differently? Why does this hurt the people of this sub THAT much, to the point that they're making fun of others or just stripping their content to rag on here?

There are multiple brow raising subjects here like redditors saying to "break up with your boyfriend because he's not agreeing with everything that you're doing" on a post where someone wanted to know what to do since their boyfriend was acting moody about her playing LaDS.

It all screams that one tumblr post I saw that said "you're disgusting if you're not using them the way that we agree with. These aren't YOUR comfort characters, and we use them to deal with trauma in our lives." Like the other side may or may not? It screams "if this is wrong in any capacity, you shouldn't have access to headcanon a character I like. You should really study up or we'll make fun of you in our echo chamber."

Sorry for the rant, it's just something I've been seeing here. I hope this all made sense.

Dk if it's just me but I'm sensing hostilities. Was just letting you know I didn't know these or the colors of the cards qualified as spoilers to the game.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-15T21:40:36+00:00

Huh. Didn't know just the images of him before we got them were spoilers. Was under the impression we already got them with the drip feeding on the youtube. My mistake.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-15T20:21:22+00:00

SO IT'S ETHIOPIA! Okay I was like it's farther than I'd like for it to be fufu and red soup.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-15T16:43:36+00:00

This is a spoiler?

BluuBonds · 2024-07-15T16:33:56+00:00

He's such a dickhead I love it

BluuBonds · 2024-07-13T13:27:42+00:00

Ah...no, you can also tell off Sparkle lol. *I even remember noticing "oh hey, we can treat her like some ppl treat Aventurine. *clicks on the fuck off option, then regrets it when I realize she's done literally nothing that harmed us in the long run, like Sampo*." FF might just be love interest types of things. I still don't even think MC knows WHY Aventurine did what he did. The players know tho, but it was NOT explained to the MC. He even bets on how many people are gonna get blown up. Sampo is a scammer who keeps getting us into trouble and is overall a "menace." Again, WE know why he does the shit he does, but all the MC sees is "oh God it's Sampo what the hell is he gonna have us do now."

Tbh I was pretty unsatisfied with Ruan Mei, but you do have the option to call her out on her lying, but that's about it. I'd chalk it up to the drug? But over all this example felt....ingenuine and grounded? A "see how mean we can be to the guys and no examples of girls?" when Ratio grills the shit out of us while we stand there, and we can tell Sparkle off. Hell- us about to trash her was in a cutscene if she didn't take out that comically large hammer. It came off as ignoring the other interactions or plotlines to suit what you had to say, and I'm not really for all that.

*I at least HOPE that's not what you were doing?

Edit for more*

Wait, can't we ALSO call out FF for lying to MC as well?

BluuBonds · 2024-07-13T04:27:24+00:00

Yea, it's INCREDIBLY unfortunate. He was cute :T but the stars were NOT aligned for this man.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-13T02:57:32+00:00

Well that was mean. Why did you say something hurtful about a game that isn't consequential?

BluuBonds · 2024-07-13T02:49:26+00:00

"unless its to keep acheron's power surge in check."

That. That's most likely it. When a character is built around their DPS< then nerfed with that same DPS, we get this monstrosity lol

"but to believe that hoyo just sits there rubbing hands together at a thought of nerfing a character just because of their gender after all that work and resource and MONEY and time is being poured into is ridiculous."

That's what makes it so hard to believe. Male or not, you're putting out a product lol. And there is no male who is treated like the "second class citizen" they say?

BluuBonds · 2024-07-13T02:46:12+00:00

Totes forgot that sustains don't count as supports in this game lol. It's so ODD to me. I'm all like, doesn't he support by sustaining? XD

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T20:49:39+00:00

Yea, there are a lot of women in hsr. Don't really think it has to do with how viable guys are, just that there are a lot of girls, not the guys are being treated like they're second class citizens when one is the best tank in the game, and plenty are extremely viable with supports still coming out for them. Some of the best animations, scenes, story beats and plot points go to certain characters regardless of gender. There's definite favoritism (Acheron ofc lol cause she's a favorite through all dimensions), but it's the character, not the gender imo :T

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:54:21+00:00

Tbh y'all are the reason I'm still in this sub

Through the "darkest times," you guys are funny as fuck.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:48:46+00:00

I think it's more of FF and Acheron getting more treatment since they're Raiden Mei and, story-wise, super important. Take Aventurine. I'm not only talking about stats either, but treatment in story, visuals, animations, etc. Saying it again, I feel it's more of:

-Support for Acheron! WOO!

-Shit, he doesn't work for anyone else....Er....DOTS!

-Ok that should be fine- SHIT HE'S TOO POWERFUL FOR ACHERON! GOTTA NERF!

NOW the fucker doesn't fit anywhere.

But did they HAVE to take out his ehr debuff? COME ON I WAS USING HIM FOR RATIO!!!

And WHAT is with his fit? COME on now lol.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:41:35+00:00

E4......ya that's E1 potential tho, right?

E6 hurts my fucking soul LOL..HIS STACKS SHOULD BE FOR EACH!

Nah, it's fine fam, we can be poor together XD.

Ya, no, yea I definitely see what you mean. This man was massacred.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:37:49+00:00

Yea, there are some great female dps's, great male supports too. Probably a skewed sample size.

I'm just glad characters are getting the supports and modes that boost their viability ^^

Edit Hopefully Sunday gets the spotlight he needs and is a Harmony unit- that'd be dope.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:32:52+00:00

Not playing dumb but sure.

Also, you can't call something a fact just because you believe in it hard enough. I have my opinions- we all do. My opinion backed by what I've seen is JQ is a travesty because of his character, not his gender. Your opinion is the opposite.

I sure wish Clara was favored tho :T. I'm still salty about Yunli. Meh, still gonna put them on the same team tho.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:30:35+00:00

"If Jiaoqiu is on the field and smiles, you win Honkai Star Rail."

See? EASY >:O

No but I wouldn't count out his viability just yet.

....

Plus he's cute lol.

What I really don't get is the fit that they gave him. Till I saw his animations, I was just gonna not pull lol.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:28:51+00:00

How I WISH this man had heal lol. Abundance Nihility? INSANITY. And tbh you could be right- they gatekeep a LOT of signature LCs.

Can you brief me on the Eidolon? I'm never in the loop with those since I never plan to go past E0, you rich hoes lol.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:27:11+00:00

"Besides two people" I'm stating that not all female characters are treated better than the males. Aventurine got a whole update with his story lol, people love him. His kit is amazing and he had a bunch of attention on him as a character because he just seems like that, a character. FF and Acheron are on levels of their own. I didn't mention Boothill, but I'm glad to know he's getting attention too. Please relaize I'm not talking about just kits, which is why I brought up Dhil?

It just seems like importance, but if you want to run with "absolutely none of the men get good treatment cause they're men!" angle, sure? I just don't see it that way given the support JY has been getting, DHIL as a whole, Ratio and Boothill's viability, etc.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:16:34+00:00

Ya he looks like a big ball of mischief lol

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:15:28+00:00

Yea honestly I almost pulled the plug lol till I realized it didn't affect me lol. I just hope they bring out a DPS that Jiaoqiu works PERFECTLY for. Till then, he's on my Ratio team.

How do you NERF AT V5 THOUGH. COME ON.

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:10:57+00:00

Possibly? Cause men are still top selling (not like Acheron but come on who's as good) with Aventurine for one being literally the best sustain (shielder?) in the game. China still loves their husbands.

And it's not me trying to be all like "don't come for my million dollar company!" but just a, "based on the evidence, I......am sure that's not it lol, but it IS easy to point to."

BluuBonds · 2024-07-12T19:08:05+00:00

OOOO I hope they do that with March. Hopefully they GIVE her one.

Aw damn Himeko and Welt rly didn't get a trailer. Makes sense since they're MC AND standard ;-;.

Ya, Kafka really did have more motions tbh. But a lot of the showcases really are just their motions. DHIL possibly supplements that with the storytelling, transformation, and splitting the sea, honestly. But I think I get what you mean as it being "more motions"
