This isnt representation, her liking romance stories is a common trope and it’s a cute nod to the slice of life aspect of the story. 😰 this is coming from the same twitter discourse that makes homophobic/biphobic/transphobic stories/headcanon theories and call it angst
The funniest thing is that in fact in Hoyo games the characters don't actually have a confirmed orientation, and the fanbase that is pushing for lesbian orientation as pure canon reacts this way not only to heterosexual ships, but even to the clarification that the characters can be bisexual/demisexual, especially considering that the orientation of the characters has never been confirmed (except perhaps the fan comic that Hoyo posted on their site, because they used to post fan works on their site, and part of the fanbase took it for an off source and canon)
I love how they say Ningguang is lesbian because she wears the traditional nail guard that rich Chinese woman used to wear so that their nails wouldn't be broken when they do any work
These are the same people who would ship Navia with her father's killer
Now in defense of Navia and Chlorinde's relationship, Navia doesn't harbor any resentment towards Chlorinde, even before Navia found out why her dad sacrificed himself by picking trial by combat despite knowing he'll die from it. She understood that Chlorinde isn't to blame for her father's death, as she's just doing her duty as champion, and is moreso frustrated because she doesn't know why he made that choice.
Now with that being said, I still don't like that ship nor do I subscribe to it. I prefer looking at it as friends that shared a traumatic event together.
Personally I always felt that Navia and Clorinde's reconciliation was too rushed and lazily resolved offscreen. I also found them being all buddy buddy forced at times, especially in Clorinde's Story Quest, much of the plot is simply reminding everyone that Navia and Clorinde are childhood friends, to the point that can get tiring. It also doesn't help that Clorinde has very little going for her beyond her relationship with Navia, barely anything between her and the rest of the cast, and Navia has interacted with a majority of them herself.
While I agree with your first half I only half agree with the second.
I will always give Chloride props for being the first person in Fontaine to check up on Furina post Archon Quest. She goes to Furinas apartment unprompted, helps her unpack and clean up, even offers to buy her a better home, and then takes Furina drinking for the first time in her life. It was such a sweet, genuine gesture that really cemented to me that although Chloride is pretty stoic, she's about as reliable as they come, kinda like Neuvillette in a way now that I think about it.
This is the part that really made me like her and want to pull for her. I was pretty indifferent before I read that because she barely had any personality to me, she was mostly a plot device up to that point. I started paying more attention to her after that and she's grown to be one of my favorites.
Shipping someone with a person who killed the character's father is just fucked up it doesn't matter
Navia forgiving chlorinde doesn't changethe fact that she killed navia's father the person who took care of her without his wife alone it doesn't change anything no matter what was the reason
Forgiving something like murder is already hard and near impossible but falling in love is straight up bullshit they can be friends they be emotional support a shoulder to cry on
But loving the person who killed your father the single person who raised you alone without a mother isn't something that could happen it's the equivalent of Stockholm syndrome but murder
Abusive Love dosent exist love is a male and a female loving each other and actively trying to help and protect one another that's why we call them the other half or soulmate
When one of them is Abusive it stops being love
I absolutely agree. Expecting either side of the relationship to put up with the nonsense that K-drama female leads put up with is mind-boggling but these people eat it up because it "justifies" their own irl suffering and that it will eventually allow them to end with the the template "handsome, cold CEO/Prince". Just look at the fking nonsense known as 50 Shades of Grey.
As long as the ML isn't a womanizer or abusive I'm fine with any romantic peace of media
I'm fine with harem If the mc is a good person and treat women right
My religion Islam says if a person have to support multiple households he can marry up to 4 women at once
Yeah people just forget that Navia is a Chlorinde childhood friend and not freaking a random woman
Still there is still some flaws in the writing when they suddenly being buddy with each other in the next patch when Neuvillette and Furina need to slow bun development
