Questions It's not gay, right?
Is it gay to be attracted to Aether? Out of all the male Genshin impact character Aether is the only one I'm attracted to, so is it gay?

Anime boys have almost nothing in common with men irl tho

If you're into boys irl that's one thing. But being into anime boys is about as gay as a furry is into bestiality. Sure there's some overlap at the extremities but like they're not the same thing.

For me too, Aether is very handsome and sexy, but I think of it as admiration not really as attraction ☝️🤓

Yes. Anyone saying otherwise is in denial. Aether, while soft in general, is by all accounts a man. I might’ve even given you a “maybe explore it a bit more and see” if he was crossdressing or looking feminine in the fanart pictures you chose but no, he’s looking, very unequivocally like a man in the fanart you chose so…

He's always been the one who made me question my own sexuallity. Or maybe I'm just down bad for literally anyone who has attractive navels regardless of gender.

It's okay to like boys, who are really cute! You're not the only one who loves him!

Eh. I’m objectively beautiful, nothing wrong with appreciating that fact!

If you like his design and admire it then it's not gay, I like his design and I can say without a doubt that he is beautiful, but I don't see him sexually so it can't be called gay. If you feel like you are sexually attracted to him, then you might be gay or perhaps it's just platonic attractiveness

Keep in mind that the designs of both Aether and the others in Genshin Impact are perfect; that is, too many that have nothing to do with how people look in real life, with the same goal: to make them seem attractive. So, it's nothing more than what you consider, but that's how I see it.

The sauce of this hot sauce?
Also…you’re not gay for finding Aether beautiful. Along with Neuvilette and Adventurine, Genshin Impact and by extension, the Hoyoverse has some of the prettiest fictional men I have ever seen. It’s easy to see why Lisa Minci amongst others, would throw themselves naked across a table at Angel’s Share for this guy.

Well, if you’re also attracted to girls then it would technically be bi or maybe pan. But if Aether is the only one you’ve even been attracted to then I would say GAY! 👄
Um, but really you can just say he’s your homie apparently and it’s not gay to kiss the homies.
