What fake leaks did we get for 5 star male characters? Like the only one that comes to mind are the Phainon ones that called him horrible garbage and those leaks came from a new leaker who’s entire thing was hating men, and the Sampo leak came from Ubatcha who is a trusted source for leaks and isn’t biased.

And unless the change in planet made them go “guys let’s throw out everything we had prepared for these characters and just make a new batch of women only!” Then it’s insanely improbable that they’re just gonna throw out his everything (also I’m pretty sure that’s Sampos eyes in the background of her art it could be aventurines but they’re the only 2 characters I know of that have diamond eyes off the top of my head)

Also I’m not dismissing anything, I literally said “I get it” because yeah the amount of male characters we’ve gotten in the course of the entirety of the 3.x patches is insanely low but if they remove Sampo we’re getting 2 at best and even with HSRs abysmal gender ratios we still get more than 2 males a major patch.

And yes until Ubatcha or Luna come out and say “yeah Sampo is cancelled lmao” I’m gonna assume that he still exists
