    It always amazes me how much darker the story really is just beneath the surface, and how even playable characters are portrayed as such inoffensive heros, but have committed to actions that would take a helluva a lot of mental gymnastics to claim as "moral"

    Borisin being a mongol equivalent of this game seems like an overlooked detail. Their vicinity to the chinese luofu in the game certainly helps, along with the details of a sky deity, nomad pastural life and conquest. Though that Mihoyo isn't the most sensitive when incorporating real-life equivalents (adventurine) is also a topic that needs discussion

      lol Hoyo is desperately trying to be western, gay and judeo-christian in everything they do and you *STILL* make things up to hate on them. Aventurine wasn't "insensitive", he was put up on a pedestal in VERY forgiving way. The real insensitivity is you not forgiving them for the crime of being Chinese.

    With the 2.4 story continuance out (SPOILERS BTW), the idea of the Borisin having a form more akin to Foxians *is* possible, as shown by the trailing segment with Yanqing, Yunli, and March 7th. However, it's implied that the form you see in battle is their actual form since Mok Tok mentions a pill that allows them to blend in with Foxians momentarily. The mech we run into while dealing with Skott (the one about cargo, we see him again with March 7th's training arc) seems to resemble the aforementioned mecha-beasts used by the Borisin, as well as appearing in cargo crates AGAIN in the Shackling Prison, most likely being a part of the 'army' that Mok Tok mentioned earlier. It's mentioned they're made with 'wetware', which is a mix of technology and biological tissue, so they likely are an altered form of the mecha-beasts or a replica made by the Intelligensia Guild. That's all I have to say, sorry about the rant.

    Its funny how people ask Yaoshi for something > she gives it to them > then people are pissed off af 🤬 I find it fascinating how Yaoshi is one of the most hated antagonists in this universe because Xianzhou hates her and chasing her through universe destroying eveything she touched, while all she did is gave Xianzhou people what they asked. It's funny how even in the game dialogues xianzhou people doesn realize all contradictions of their hateress. Millenias ago their people were looking for Yaoshi to ask her for eternal life and when she gave it to them, they were devastated. And let it sink to your mind - super developed nation was able to build starships with one goal to find Yaoshi, but was not able to come into very common conclusion that everything comes with a price. So I see it this way: Yaoshi was minding her own business > Xianzhou people found her and asked her for immortality > she gave them what they've asked for > now they hate her and making henocide on any planet where they smell traces of Yaoshi. This is also funny because Xianzhou people are kinda good guys, but I see that that them and their Aeon is doing henocide all the time and nobody cares (e.g. when Lan destroyed whole planet because they were infected by Yaoshi). Any time i raise this topic, i get so much hate from xianzhou fans thats crazy 😅

    • @LalodysLore
      @LalodysLore  Месяц назад +15

      You're very right. Yaoshi is one of the more likeable aeons and all of the flaws with their blessings seem to stem from mortal flaws, not the blessing themselves. The fact that mara is a Xianzhou secret tells us it's not a natural outcome for long lifes but something to do with Xianzhou culture, otherwise it couldn't be a secret. I think Lan is easily one of the worst aeons morally so it feels very backwards. To be honest, same with Ena - they are one of the best aeons morally but are currently demonized in the story. I think we will see them positively later on as the story progresses.

      From my pov, Yaoshi's actions are akin to a doctor giving out a prescription without telling them the risks.
      Sure, the ancient Xianzhou people are to blame. But those guys are either dead or mara-striken. So the only reasonable thing is to stop Yaoshi from spreading their uncertain blessing.
      Also while I'm at it, Yaoshi is biased af. The Borisins got all the cool stuff while the Foxians got uh.... run faster and jump higher?

So it's not impossible that there exists borisin who don't agree with or like how their society and religion operates. Also given how Genshin made three of the Fatui harbingers playable Hoyo certainly isn't shy about making characters who belong to antagonistic groups playable.

It doesn't change the fact the Fatui have done a lot of terrible stuff in the pursuit of their end goals, need I remind you that Dottore is one of the highest ranked harbingers and Scara did a lot of horrible stuff during his tenure with the Fatui. Some members are worse than others, but the organization itself has a lot of crimes under its belt ranging from assassination and espionage, to human experimentation. My point is you can make characters from antagonistic factions playable if you give them sufficient depth and explore said depth.

    This may be completely out of nowhere but does anyone else see similarities between what happened on Sigonia and with the Old Verdant Home?
    Like-
    -Two main factions: one known for intelligence and art related culture and the other known for their strength
    - both being the only cultures (as far as I know) to worship a god other than the aeons
    - harsh living conditions leading to enmity between each clan
    - went to a third, more powerful party (the IPC/Yaoshi) to ask for assistance, which ended up worsening the situation overall
    - the clan valuing strength ending up crushing the other, leading to the weaker clan being slaughtered and enslaved

      You can even compare Kakavasha and Jiaoqiu with the state of the story quest atm (spoilers).
      Both are isolated amongst their enemies at the moment. They’re both trapped by the very people that condoned enslaving them. (Since it was heavily implied the IPC supported enslaving Kakavasha). And now both are resorting to trickery and manipulation as a survival tactic.

      I mean, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't any relationship between Bailu and Baiheng with the physical resemblance and that subtlety in the plot that other characters expect some kind of relationship between them.
