genshin fans really will be like “i can excuse child combatants but i draw the line at young-looking adults”
#genshin#genshin impact#salt is salt#like…some of y’all are so hellbent on fake ass ‘activism’ that you’d RATHER they be child combatants than simply Not Children At All#like the issue here is twofold:#1) harassing people over ‘Bad’ ships. you should not be harassing people period. bullying people is Bad.#2) insisting that everyone else abide by your personal version of ‘canon’#and thus declaring things problematique even though it’s ambiguous in canon#e.g. nahida is canonically 1) over 500 years old 2) small#some people claim she is a child and thus to ship her with scaramouche is Problematique.#they claim she is a child because she is small. they claim that their reason is actually because she was isolated for most of that time.#but that is not actually the reason. bc ‘created by a predecessor god with intent but was never able to grow into the role meant for them->#-> because an outside influence stepped in specifically in an attempt to groom them to suit their own purposes ->#ultimately preventing them from developing and isolating them from anyone who could become their peer’#yeah that applies to both nahida and scaramouche.#the ONLY reason people claim that nahida is a child is because she is small.#like. i don’t ship it but i can see the appeal!#but for the love of fuck just. stop coming up with arbitrary standards of what you consider Bad and then moving the goalposts constantly#and for the love of GOD just leave people alone!!! it’s that easy!!!!#you go ‘well that’s just none of my business’ and block them and scroll away!!
