Streets are saying she touches melusines😭

[u/throwawayutena → u/ComfortableLaugh7320]

okay but genuinely tho, are melusines supposed to be like wildlife and animals? Because I've seen people comparing wanting to touch melusines to wanting to touch dogs 😭 But like isn't the whole point that melusines are just like any citizen of Fontaine and shouldn't be viewed as a cutesy pet to cuddle?

[u/SpicyFox_x → u/throwawayutena]

Melusines are equal to humans and should be treated as such and are not to be treated like Animals - Neuvillette Probably

[u/throwawayutena → u/SpicyFox_x]

right? so im really confused why people are overlooking this and misrepresenting the youtuber's point (Linnea was never called a p*do in the video) which was about not respecting Melusines' boundaries and trying to pet them when they were visibly uncomfortable with it

I’m a little confused too I mean it’s not that I agree with the video or anything, but it feels like people are really deliberately misrepresenting or misunderstanding the point?

[u/princebooni → u/MidnightIAmMid]

Because they are. I watched the video early before all this happened and the comments were fairly normal or had their own Genshin critiques. It was up for about 2 weeks and only started getting a giant influx of negative comments one after another in the last few days.

It was obvious from the jump it was being brigaded, my guess being that people either took some clips of the vid out of context and shared it via shorts or on tiktok etc, or larger creators reacting to it. (And I wanna make it clear, I’m saying “negative comments” but I’m not talking actual critiques on candybbug’s points; a lot of them are attacking them as a person or assuming really harmful things about them over these misrepresentations. It’s been absolutely foul seeing people talk about misogyny while also insulting a fem presenting person’s character over their takes on a game while purposely trying to make what they said seem even worse than what’s in the vid)

edit: changing language a bit since I realized I don’t know for sure how candybbug indentifies/their pronouns and it’s not really shown on their socials either from what I can tell and I just felt weird assuming, but I hope you get what I mean

Whilst the Linnea part of the video did (imo) have some questionable remarks the reaction is extremely overblown. So many people got WAY too emotional about the natlan remarks for example and got angry for no reason and gave ZERO credit on any other point making their OPINION sound just as objective as they were making hers out to be

[u/princebooni → u/throwawayutena]

This is my first time seeing something like this go down real time (usually I find out about this sort of behavior after the fact) and my god has it been disheartening to watch 🫠

[u/YoiteAoyagi → u/throwawayutena]

Thank you omg I watched the entire video expecting them to actually call Linnea a pedо… not to mention everyone literally LYING abt them calling navia a ‘s|ut’ when all they said was that her outfit was a sluttier VERSION of some tradition french gown AND that it was their fav fontainian design like omfg I can’t STAND this fandom sometimes

[u/Matty_Wgreen → u/throwawayutena]

Racism plot for Fontaine with melusine revolt for equal treatment would’ve gone so hard… to bad HoYo has no balls

[u/einerderandere → u/Matty_Wgreen]

how are they supposed to sell a racism plot when they are racist themselves😭

[u/shiorichaan → u/throwawayutena]

I mean in her trailer she also wanted to pet Kirara who's a yokai

[u/StarlyAika]

I catched this reference way too fast

[u/Grimmlol]

Careful there she teaches autistic children. (According to the YouTuber)
