Just recently started playing genshin not as fun as people made it out to be people always excuse shipping because it’s fictional characters which is annoying just fucking play the game or read the story you don’t need every single character to have a fucking romance story let them be friends/siblings/coworkers/ whatever 1 reply
As someone who's in the fandom, is bisexual, and lowkey ships some characters due to dynamics, I somewhat disagree. Yes, I do think that some ships... should not exist and are blatantly fetishised.

i agree w EVERYTHING u just said. i think ppl just enjoy shipping pp, w the same gender bc they want more lgbtq+ representation (only those affiliated w the community should be doing this unless it is canon),, tho i very much understand why u think the fandom is cringe and shit 1 reply

i agree with the first part but theres nothing wrong with shipping characters of the same gender? the creators never said that theyre straight either so theres nothing wrong with hc them as gay/bi or whatever. rather its annoying that u assume theyre straight because that makes it seem like being straight is the default sexuality. its also not feti...... 1 reply
I agree with most of this, but to be fair, they're fictional characters. Yeah, I get it, if they were real people it wouldn't be OK, but they're not real people.
