its like. it seems a little silly to me when people can fully recognize methods of queerbaiting in bbc sherlock or whatever but when it comes to the gacha game space its either like 'wow, i can't believe they didn't realize that they were making this kind of gay!' or 'wow, i can't believe Evil Asian Censorship prevented these characters from being queer!' or like maybe the game was produced by people who made intentional creative decisions aimed towards making people spend money. just like how all mainstream media works. sorry

#any question of whether genshin queer codes on purpose was answered when i found the utena soundtrack reference #so the question 'are they queercoding characters' is not helpful to me. yes. they are. 100% they know what they're doing #but the stories being told with these characters & relationships are not usually... meaningful #their queerness does not provide any extra dimension to their story or character #and i think a lot of people would get mad at me for that but it's like if you just watched the utena hand reach and that was it #like wow. they would find each other in any universe. okayy and... anything else? okay.#WOW THEYRE PINK AND PURPLE? WOW. TELL ME MORE #and i DO think there's exceptions (ARLEVIE. ACHESWAN) but again. these are exceptions #and also no one in the fandom cares about actually discussing the characters. it's just like yay they're gay! let's go home now #noooo one cares about arlevie and it makes me sad #and acheswan just turned into arguments about whether toxic yuri has a right to exist #SORRY AGAIN #j rambles #ignore me
