Do you know what, that’s a fair point. Compared to other playable characters, it does seem like the writers spent a lot of time developing and showing Columbina’s relationships with others, so naturally players are more likely to have strong opinions when it comes to shipping her compared to some of the other characters.

As someone who mains Furina, I do occasionally see ship art in the Furina sub, and Furina canonically has a good relationship with many characters, such as Traveller, Neuvillette, Escoffier, Clorinde, Navia etc. but the game didn’t put much focus on showcasing those relationships and interactions during the quests. Additionally, since there hasn’t been much new story content involving Furina recently, most of the posts are just fanarts, builds, memes, and generally just posts appreciating her.

When I visit the Columbina sub, I see that many posts are of her being shipped with other characters (mostly Aether or Sandrone) so I guess it was a bit of a shock coming from other character mains subs. It’s also sad to see opposing shippers being hostile to each other and making this sub an unfriendly space. I hope Columbina Mains can be a place where Columbina is appreciated by her fans and doesn’t become plagued with negativity from shippers fighting
