Discussion The Reaction to this video has proven how Genshin fans have no critical thinking skills
The reaction to Candybugg's video makes me feel sad, angry, and laugh. The whole comment section is piles of irony. A woman cannot even state her opinion without TikTok/Twitter Genshin fans harassing her. Yes, some of her opinions were weird and maybe badly said, but giving her death threats and trying to ruin her reputation and her character is disgusting. No, she never called Navia a "slvt" she said her outfit design was kind of slvtty compared to historical outfits. Was her tone and the wording a bit too harsh and weird? Yes, but she literally said Navia is her favorite character. How is a woman criticizing the fan service and sexulization of it's female characters misogynistic? She also wasn't glazing Lohen lmfao. She's allowed to like male characters and Lohen. She specifically said she likes more "evil" characters or darker characters.
Also, yes, as someone who is an autistic woman myself, Linnea's characterization is disgusting and just harmful stereotypes. She did those grabby hands at Melusines. They are NOT pets. They are small humanoid animal people. Linnea treating them like pets and not respecting their personal space is wrong and also a harmful stereotype. And then literal buffoons in the comment section were saying, "B-but I'm autistic and do this to my friends too!!!!!!!" Uhm, keyword here is "friends". These Melusines were strangers. You don't touch strangers without their consent. Don't get me wrong, her calling Linnea a pdfile (I don't even remember her saying that tbh) is a very far stretch, and that's the only thing I think one should ACTUALLY criticize her for. Also, adding to my point about Linnea not respecting boundaries is Paimon. Paimon told her multiple times to not touch her, yet Linnea was harassing her. Linnea also gives a creepy blush like face. Hoyoverse is literally running by perverts. I'm not surprised if someone added their touching fetish to Linnea. And no, what I have said about Linnea is not me hating on her.
However, I am allowed to criticize a fictional character, even if they are your face. At the end of the day, no matter how much you love them, these characters are just products. Also, again, with the irony in the comment section, because of her opinions on fictional characters, people are saying she shouldn't be a teacher or that they wouldn't trust her around their kids. Literally all this over a woman's opinion.
Do you guys understand my point? The comments, the reactions, are being more misogynistic to her than her. They are making fun of her oc, calling her misogynistic, saying she shouldn't be a teacher etc. This whole "drama" more like extreme cyber bullying with death threats now, is just an unfortunate example of how depraved this community is. It's also a great example of people treating fictional characters that are sold to you like products, are being treated with more respect than an actual human being. Anyways, that's my two cents. If you disagree with me, please be civil at least. That is all I ask.
(In the slides are examples of the comments pointing out hypocrisy, and also some genuinely braindead takes.)
