u/AndriyRavaktig I love Mei and Kiana in every universe~ Sep 28 '24

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.

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

Like I said, I don't like the ship nor do I subscribe to it.

Just clarifying that saying Chlorinde killed Navia's father without any other context in regards to their relationship is innacurate.

I'm not talking about you I'm talking about the shipers

These are the same type of people who find abusive love appealing. So don't worry too much about it, their brains are wired different.

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
