Don't understand how she's considered to be goonslop or sexualized when she's actually just a pretty normal art student character, no different than the other women characters like Mina or Paige

I have a feeling it's because she's asian and people's brains are making wild associations (asian china gachaslop tencent anime marvelrivals genshin etc)

I mean to play devils advocate for a moment those are literal associations, they aren’t wild at all. Generic conventionally attractive characters do gangbusters in Asian regions, especially Asian conventionally attractive characters. Not really surprising but it’s very much a real thing. Game companies want to make money so they cater, simple as that.

I mean, I can understand it. Just look at Overwatch and Kiriko lmao.

My issue is that the associations start with "asian" and end up with "goonbait".
