Give me a burning hot take and I rate it

@saphirecrown1 i never thought abt it like that:0

Okay I might ACTUALLY get slimed for these but do know that these are purely MY opinions

Something being“implied” does not make it canon, and mischaracterizing a character just to support a ship is ridiculous. Some examples include the following…

Childe and Zhongli.
As someone who plays Genshin Impact religiously (just got Varka ) I can say that I really do not understand this ship… As someone who plays the game for the lore, Childe started giving Zhongli money because he was helping financially support the funeral costs for Rex lapis who we saw “die” toward the beginning of Liyue. The only reason Childe did this is because he wanted to find the geo archons physical form to steal the gnosis, believing that if he stayed close and got on their good side he could possibly get some information. Childe also goes out of his way to pay for things because Zhongli has no understanding of how money works, often forgetting to pay or ask for the price, so to get on Zhongli’s good side Childe teaches him and pays for thing. This ship is a perfect way of explaining mischaracterization and what has been “implied” isnt canon. I see how the fandom turns Childe, who is manipulative narcissistic and only using Zhongli, into a sugar daddy who “loves” Zhongli and only
spends so much on him because of said feelings which is just not true… and I can already here people telling me “but all the official art”, “the stickers”, “the dynamic” none of it is canon. It is all implied. None of it is canon.

Alhaitham and Kaveh
Im sorry this is purely my opinion but I HATE this ship. I had been playing for a few years prior before this ship came out and when it first did for a while the only backing that people had for it was “But they were roommates” that means absolutely nothing. People mischaracterize Kaveh as an Angry housewife which is just NOT true. Kaveh has openly expressed how he will eventually move out and how he wants to eventually pay alhaitham back. Idc abt the one piece of official art they got together this entire ship pisses me off because it turns Kaveh into like a baby im sorry i don’t have much to say about this… there hasnt been muxh implying in game either, i think the fandom took the point of them being roommates WAY to far

PVC X SMC (CRK)
I love talking ahout this. Pure Vanilla Cookie and Shadow Milk Cookie are not canon. “But there is so much official art of them” art is something done to promote the game, PVC and SMC were the two most popular characters for awhile. “But SMC’s VA is a PVC x SMC shipper” SMC’s VA does not represent cookie run kingdom, he doesn’t decide what is canon and what isnt… im sorry… only CRK decides what is canon. This goes along with the debate of what is implied and what is canon because while there have been a lot of interactions ajd dynamics portrayed none of it is canon. The next bit mischaracterization, in almost Every version of the PVC x SMC ship i have seen either shadow milk is belittled to a helpless baby or pure vanilla is belittled to a helpless baby. Can we remember that they are both practically gods in the CRK universe? I don’t think grown ass cookies would be acting like that. In the game itself we see that PVC is understanding to the pain the SMC is feeling and gives of vibes as being two sides of the same coin, pure vanilla even offering his friendship after everything. Ultamitely both of the characters are mischaracterized in this ship because in the start shadowmilk cookie is manipulative and enjoys tormenting PVC and is just evil to him in general it is toxic and I don’t understand it cause this ship is created entirely based off of implematipns. O have genuinely been slimed over saying i dont like this ship. Let’s remember this ship is NOT canon.

This leads to my next hot take, DO NOT SLIME ME.
People who willingly enjoy Dark Romance and Toxic Ships have no place to judge Proshippers and vice versa. (Proshippers cannot hate on people who enjoy dark romance and toxic stuff)

I myself do NOT condone pro shipping at all I strongly believe it is disgusting and I in general do not support it at all. (I am not defending it either so please don’t take it out of context). But I can say I feel the same way towards people who romanticize toxic tropes and relationships, im sorry but I hate people who will be absolutely hating on proshippers but when you look in their bio it’s like “my fav BL is jinx” like Its hypocritical almost. Again I do not condone either of these they are terrible things but this is like me hating on someone who likes tomato’s even tho I like ketchup can we be serious

Bro didn’t write a hot take, he wrote a hot essay

[Goose.]

@ilovecats2018 THIS MADE MA LAUGH LMAOOOOOO

[Goose.]

@ilovecats2018 I really did need to talk about these hottakes cause the crowd is always 50/50

[Cara]

@misomisomiso as a person who personally enjoys dark romance i just want to say thank you for the last two paragraphs! I always (on my old platform) would get messages saying really crappy stuff about me.

[Goose.]

@Cara I’m uh… not talking positively of dark romance

[Johnny.SS]

@misomisomiso ur yapping but it depends if it’s intentionally left vauge or not bc many things aren’t outright stated in media bc Thats just horrible writing, Noaya hating women isn’t directly stated but it’s obv cannon he does bc the way he acts

[Goose.]

@Johnny.SS if we are talking about Nouya from jjk it is already canon he is a misogynist. Although Gege dosnt directly claim thag “he DOENST like women” he titles him a misogynist witch is a diff way of saying it

[Yanderemenhera]

the fact i feel like ts is a hot take is pathetic but, idgaf if you're mentally ill if you're doing terrible unspeakable things to other guy that doesn't justify or excuse it. idgaf if you're a minor and doing it to other minors it doesn't make it fucking ok. and this sort of mentality leads to enabling, i've seen ts happen first hand. it makes me sick that i've seen adults coddle people who do this. if they did it to a girl i have a feeling they might feel differently and that too is beyond vile.

[Johnny.SS]

@Yanderemenhera preach fr,I hate mf who avoid accountability

[Yanderemenhera]

@Johnny.SS i actually knew a 14 year old guy who was bipolar, he was the most nasty human i've ever met, he was allowed to do ''bad things'' to other dudes and it pmo, they were worried about someone practicing self defense against him and honestly if you're capable of doing that you're capable of reaping the consuqences of it. i have BPD but im not doing that shit, i seriously wish people would stop trying to use mental illness as justification. i've seen a lot of this online too, someone will take one look at chris chan and say you're abilist if you say he's a creep and gross bc of what he's done.

[Johnny.SS]

@Yanderemenhera Chris Chan one pmo so much bc I’ve heard it so often

[Yanderemenhera]

@Johnny.SS people honestly forget what abilisum is tbh, i think people use it as a buzz word for literally everything and that takes away from its importance and people take it less seriously, i myself am disabled and i hate the word now bc ive only seen it used in that way and never against serious issues

[Johnny.SS]

@Yanderemenhera that too bc many times it’s just used to defend people who are wrong or deflect and change the subject

[Johnny.SS]

@misomisomiso fish for a statement or panel of him calling Noaya a misogynist or misogynistic,I haven’t seen it,it’s a fan label,it’s obviously true but doesn’t need to be said beacuse his actions clearly illustrate those ideas,point is that almost everything in a story is only implied or seen through personal interpretation so it’s disingenuous to claim that implication and not outright confirmation means it’s not cannon and most sexualities aren’t confirmed (esp for “straight”) but you interpret them as whatever sexuality based on observational skills,I get the point but it’s not articulated correctly

[ilovecats2018]
