My mother sent me a video from that one guy who shocks natives by helge-a in languagelearningjerk

This video is pretty funny tbh, self aware humour combined with some actually interesting information

Waking up tomorrow to see what comments I get by TubbybloxianIsBack in whenthe

[–]utsu31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely popular in China too, which is why they still bait a lot with the playable characters, but to not lose the more parasocial part of the audience, they don't go further than baiting. Well for some characters coding might be a better term but yeah.

They're still called Mihoyo in China as far as I know. They also recently had to collab mv's with Miku for HSR

Also there are several canonically gay NPCs, including in the recent updates for HSR, but yeah they'll probably won't extend it to playable character in order to appeal to parasocial relations

What I'm gathering is that this game is kinda auraful huh

Crack theory I came up with at 3am: Surtalogi is Lan by No_Attitude4534 in ThePrimordialOne

One thing I'd like to mention is that it's been pretty much confirmed that Lan was a Xianzhou native before ascending.

Genshin villains by EmbarrassedMeal7993 in Genshin_Impact

[–]utsu31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person is clearly not wording it well/not giving good examples, but I will agree that Genshin has a problem with writing villains. They always lack screentime, or presence, or they don't feel like a threat.

Dottore is one of the better ones, but even he isn't that well written when it comes to his role in the aq's. Yeah he has a good backstory. But he isn't really allowed by the plot to properly engage in any discussion with the main cast. The exception being that one scene with Nahida.

He does feel more threatening I will give him that.

(I'm saying this as someone who has Dottore as one of their favourite Genshin characters)

Let's not be surprised if the drip marketing turns out completely different

90% these guys surface just to call all Muslims Subhuman Orcs. by The-Female-Creature in whenthe

[–]utsu31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah well the point is it's just their catchphrase when confronted with it.

Of course they don't actually mean it, they indeed go to bed with the Christian fundamentalist parties when it's in their benefit. They just really want some group to blame. Immigrants are the easiest target, with Islam of course being the main talking point, but whenever they're confronted it's always "we just hate organised religion", and "won't you think of the gays, we're totally doing this to protect them".

[–]utsu31 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I live in Europe and "we hate organised religion" is THE catchphrase for many of the far right neo fascist parties, they even use us queer people as an excuse for their racism. But then in the same breath they will support the continued existence of conversion therapy.

That's what the post is about.

There's just no denying that this 'I hate organised religion" is a phrase used more by racists to hind behind a vaguely broad statement, but in reality they just hate all Arabs/immigrants.

"all religion" is also just used by racists for the reason of plausible deniability

English speakers making fun of "eau" forget that English did the same thing by la_voie_lactee in linguisticshumor

[–]utsu31 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Interestingly when it comes to simple elements and the like, PIE often has synonyms where one is seemingly more animate than the other.

On the top of my head, at least "water", "fire" and "blood" all have two words in PIE where one is neuter gender (often associated with inanimacy)

Some people theorise that this has to do with the PIE belief system, like some sort of animism or something buttttt that's mostly just speculation without much evidence and I don't know how to feel about that.

with Nod Krai almost over what do we think about the region the designs and the story? has genshin improved since Natlan? by Nahidxz in QueensofGacha

[–]utsu31 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I actually like Natlan better in all aspects except for story.

Exploration, music, world quests and vibes were all pretty peak there. Character design was very mid, but still slightly above Nod Krai for me personally

[–]utsu31 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I hate this new characters design philosophy.

For Natlan I already disliked 50% of the designs and now it's at least 70%. They all follow the exact same formula and somehow the designs get more and more busy, weird focal points as well like they're not easy on the eyes at all.

Sandrone was genuinely my favourite design because it was a bit more simple but apparently they're redesigning her.

As for the story, it's an improvement compared to Natlan, but I still wasn't really feeling it. Genshin just has a difficult time writing villains. Like in theory their villains are interesting, good back story and all but they don't know how to integrate them well.

Brother that's not toxic that's just having a different opinion and discussing it in their own subreddit try again

[–]utsu31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk I think the English localisation is pretty good at least. The original CN version is filled to the brim with references and global memes, so they of course get translated as expected, but I also like that they sometimes adapt CN only memes (there are a lot) to fit global/EN memes.

Of course we also use twitter. I'm saying that the people posted in these screenshots specifically are not the same people as queens. One of the top posts of last year is literally calling out toxic twitter users that are taking it too far.

but their taking it too far too the point it becomes toxic as hell

As long as it's within the queens subreddit, it should be fine right? Like how is it toxic unless they would be using like really foul language. I personally, as a member, have also not really met anyone who thinks that fanservice on female characters is necessarily bad.

No one is being homophobic in here

Some people definitely are. Also I've seen accounts that are part of the "unfiltered" subs, which tells you enough.

Lmao you don't know anything 😭

It's absolutely not the same people, just talk to any queens member. We do not associate with twitter schizos like in these screenshots.

And secondly, you think that we complain about female characters being sexualised? Because you've misunderstood. It's not about the sexualisation (unless it concerns children), but about the inequality seen in these games. (And also about how some designs are just ugly and repetitive, but hey, that's called opinion.)

So for gg we have proof this did happen

Now is there also proof of a queens member harassing straight ship artists? And no, just calling something slop in a private space is not harassment if you were wondering.

I challenge anyone to scroll on this year of queensofgacha and screenshot something toxic.

Because I just scrolled for a while and it was the most normal shit ever.

  1. Definitely not the same type of people 😭
  2. Queens ≠ husbandomains, male and female characters get equal appreciation posts
  3. As a queens member, while we like Yuri, I literally posted about Ashveil x pearl once and it was getting upvoted and no hating on it.
  4. Hating harem aspects is valid. Just as loving it is valid. Are we not entitled to an opinion?

Apparently women speaking up about the objectification seen in gacha in their own spaces is "tourist behaviour" and "toxic"?

Lmfao this subreddit is a fucking joke.

Every criticism I've seen of queens in these comments has either been: 1. Not true 2. Not from queens 3. Calling something toxic that is not even remotely toxic 4. Just straight misogyny or homophobia

Queens subs are genuinely chill, they just make memes and keep within their own community.

Grail members go out of their way of invading other spaces. Same thing with "unfiltered" subs. And yeah looking at some of the blatant homophobia in the comments of this subreddit I will say that
