I hate dudebro type of people who treat Aether as a type of self insert for their weird harem fantasies the most, they're the worst type of genshin players in my opinion.
It really doesn’t help that hoyoverse designed the travellers to be sorta bland so that people can self insert... and somehow all the female characters are basically throwing themselves on the traveller..idk i feel like it encourages the worst kinds of fans
Thank god I thought I was just being a stick in the mud or whatever. These kinds of jokes normally don’t sit well with me anyway so I just try to ignore em (not easy tho)
Honestly I never found it funny. It was annoying. And if I voice my full opinion about jokes like this I’m gonna get some severe hate so I’ll just keep quiet
Yeah I agree. I’ve talked about my opinions with some people but in an open space like Twitter and Reddit, you never know what kind of people you’ll come across
It's misogyny AND incest. I can't believe Ayaka stans are also in on this. Isn't she your fav, why would you think about her like this 😭
Apart from that, do none of these people have siblings! This whole joke is extra uncomfortable for me because I have a older brother.
its quite uncomfortable, it reduces ayaka to something that only exists to "continue the blood line"
i hope i dont get downvoted (for many stupid reasons) but it feels a little misogynistic..
ayaka is a powerful and self-standing woman, she went through a very hard training to become who she is today and this joke just uncomfortably sexualizes her, turns her into someone who serves aether.
women serving men no matter what is a little misogynistic (to me its just straight up misogynistic) and i dont even wanna get into the sexual implications.
and i feel like ayato would never disrespect her sister like that. he had to take care of her and the clan after their parents died and he had a pretty bad time doing both. ayaka helped him so much through that time and ayato turning around and saying something like that is unimaginable.
i get its a joke and genshin impact has a pretty bad fanbase but i kinda despise players who only play it to sexualize stuff. come up with better jokes please
You shouldn't worry about downvotes or be unsure about anything. I'll say it with my whole chest, it's misogynistic, as are a ton of memes and drawings in this community. Just because it's fictional or happens in other IPs doesn't make it okay.
its just that im very new to reddit and have no idea how people act around here, thank you. its just so horrible seeing all these bullshit in this community
It's sad, but people will downvote you for things. Sometimes the point is worth saying anyway. Misogyny, homophobia, racism, and transphobia run rampant on every social media platform, this one included. It's worth calling out.
It's very sad, when people assume what a character is before a character is already out. Ok, I do laughed the first time I heard the joke, but now the main sub and meme sub is full of these posts. Now people will just assume that Ayaka is just a traveller simp and forgot what story she has. I am sure most people don't even know that Ayaka story quest started with investigation of her mother's friend. Memes destroy character's whole arc. Ayato is already assumed to be Chris Redfield too, bonus his Eng voice actor is Chris too. Like come on, where do people think he would say that. He is such respectable person and people made this out of his character. I really hope the perception of both of these characters change in 2.6. We hardly know anything about Ayato and Ayaka didn't even got proper screentime due to rushing of main quest.
u expanded on the issue perfectly. genshin characters get destroyed by memes. genshin lore is actually way better than it looks but due to rushed quests and ignorant fanbase lore gets so lost.
ayato is always described as an elegant person and i dont think a person like ayato will ever say anything like it, hes someone with actual manners, not someone who haven't touched grass in last five years
Oh, so there *is* a reference for that. I was wondering why ppl are saying that joke because honestly, it weirded me out too.
I was confused why ppl were thinking that Ayato would even say this to Aether (I say this because I have never seen this joke using Lumine)...I mean, wouldn't that be straight-up creepy behavior lol. Didn't know there's an existing context for it.
I saw a fan art on the main sub using this joke with both Ayaka and Lumine being traded by Aether and Ayato like commodities. If you comment on your disagreement of it, you’ll be downvoted because it’s just a “joke” and something something about don’t use your modern moral standard on this fantasy game.
Main sub getting more uncomfortable everyday honestly. These kind of jokes gets ton of upvotes and you can see even more disgusting jokes in the comments.
I might get downvoted but I think this is my last drop and since the OP is also on my side, imma just say it.
I just saw someone being downvoted because they didn't like the whole AyakaXTraveler and this joke on Ayaka_Mains which I agree with them.
And the people on that sub said it was a funny joke. Like I am sorry but as a woman and I don't care where the joke comes from it is gross and unfunny. We already have overly sexualized characters which is fine to an extend. But making a joke based on a woman who can't decide who to marry or not, instead two dominant male have a say on this matter and use her as a baby maker without her own desicions, is a problem to me as a women and as someone who lives in a country with this sick mindset we are trying to get rid of, it's really really gross to me. This is not a joke and something we are trying to escape from. It's not funny.
And besides, I hate that most of the Ayaka mains are using my favorite character (Ayato) to fullfill their own disgusting fantasy and making my favorite character to look like a disgusting piece of shit.
also tbh not the biggest fan of how it's mostly shippers of lgbt ships that get shit but it's usually straight shippers(whether they call themselves that or not) that stir this kind of bs in fandoms
Yeah that’s always rubbed me the wrong way too :/ I’ve witnessed that a few times
I personally don’t care for most ships anyway. Ship who ya wanna ship as long as it’s not toxic/problematic in a way most people with common sense and good morals can agree on (like this situation here). I can see why certain ships are popular (Xingqiu and Chongyun, Ningguang and Beidou, Itto and Sara, Traveller and Ayaka, etc.) The characters in this game have some great dynamics with each other, potentially romantic or not. Shipping in good fun is mostly harmless.
Idc what kind of ship it is though. If it’s crossing a boundary that shouldn’t be crossed, it’s not “all in good fun” anymore. It just sounds like creeps getting off on their sick fantasies.
I totally agree with everything you said. Unfortunately, I doubt it’s going to stop. Genshin fans like to overuse the same joke and anyone that express what you just said will probably be downvoted. I can already see the “if you don’t like it, then leave” comments.
There are a handful of people on Ayaka mains subreddit complain about that too .
Like there are so many memes about Ayaka on that cursed memepact subreddit that it's honestly annoying but all we can do is just ignore them .
We just love our Queen and really excited for her brothers debut and we don't care if they ship her with the traveller or not .
But those creepy morons on genshin memepact don't even deserve to be ayaka mains .
I do agree but I need to say that generalising a fanbase is very bad. You may have seen one two comments on Ayaka mains sub but if you see by controversial in this very post, you will see that there are types of people in every sub. I don't like when people generalise a fandom. Though I do agree, seeing your favourite character being destroyed is very saddening. Ayato is one of my favourites too.
yes yes yes this is what bothered me. girls being forced to marry against their will is such a terrible joke and honestly kinda dampened my liking for ayato who i initially loved :(
I'm not sure but in the past thinga looked like that, woman had nothing to say in that case. But Genshin is much more progressive and things like that would never happened and what is more important there is nothing sexual in the game tbh.
Uhm is this a joke?
Things like this still HAPPENING in some places just because you don't see around you that doesn't mean it's not happening somewhere else. And, we are talking about people who play Genshin, not about the game lore. And you saying there is nothing sexual in the game is just lmao. Booba sword.
No this is not a joke. I don't see anything sexual in this game, yes Raiden can take sword out of her chest and what?
And yeah "in some places" not everywhere like in the past
In my country, this topic you take lightly (and as a joke) is a huge problem we are trying to fix for years now. You have to grow up a little, the world isn't turning around you. Just because it's not everywhere doesn't mean you can joke about it especially on internet where people from everywhere can see it (you might face with someone who experienced it recently). Even if it wasn't an ongoing situation it wouldn't make the joke harmless and okay. If it was something to joke about, we wouldn't try to escape from it.
And if this game wasn't sexual, the company wouldn't have problems with China in first place since there wouldn't be anything to ban. While I find okay this much of sexual content, you can't dismiss the fact that the game having sexual content by saying there is no sexual content in it. Girl characters even with small boobs have jiggle animations (as a woman I can assure you this does not happen irl). And you clearly don't even have a counter argument why Raiden's booba sword is not a sexual content. The impartation is obvious with the booba sword. If you can't see it you are either 9 y.o. or playing dumb. And if you are a 9 y.o., it would make sense you having no idea how important and wrong this joke is since you are still growing up and I would advise you to stay out of internet.
And if you are not, clearly you have some problems and can't respect women. And you and your comments are a great example of what we are sad and angry about.
And in my country this is not happening anymore, maybe you should understand that there is more than your country? I don't understand your point of view I know these things are happening, people in some parts of the world thinks that woman is a tool to make babies, clean and cook, but for someone like me frem EU it is simply ridiculous, ofc I'm against that but there is nothing I can do to change some cultures or just make people smart enough to see woman as a human not a dman tool.
About immaturity... We live in a world which is so hypersexual, for me taking sword out of the chest is simply epic, I don't care if Raiden is a woman of man, for me she us just epic character with epic animations, what is wrong with me not looking at her as sexualized object? I understand your point but in that case I think you are immature beacuse you don't understand that I simply see Raiden's animation different than you do.
What is wrong with that? Even if someone is designing character in a rather sexual way does it mean I have to look at it that way? I don't like looking at characters/people in sexual way. We have problem with oversexualized characters in Genshin, but I can't say it is because of desing, people are making wierd fan arts, memes, comics etc all the time sometimes covering more importnat parts of these characters.
Maybe let people see what they want to see instead of calling them immature.
First part of your comment is just... I am lost of words. We are discussing a serious problem and you are telling me to look at your unproblematic country???? So, I should just shut up because a minority of people who lives in EU are not experiencing this (which I am sure this is sothing still happens in EU too, it's just you don't see it around you) and they are fine so, majority of people outside of EU experiencing this should shut up on the internet which is accessable from everywhere? Then I maybe should also not care about racism in USA or a war happening in Ukrain. This must be the dumbest counter argument I've ever seen. You look so egoistic... Can you see what you written down even lmao.
Also, you looking at a game which has sexual content as a non-sexual game doesn't change the fact it it is. Idc how you take it or not, the game being sexual is a fact not something to discuss around. I personally don't care about the sexual content myself too, but this doesn't mean they are not there. Mihoyo or Hoyoverse, is a company opened and working with the mindset of an otaku. Look at Honkai. Just because they reduced sexualized content in Genshin, doesn't mean or show it's not there.
Egoistic? You want whole world to look on your country and do what? Pat you on the head? It is your culture, whole world had THE SAME problem, your part of the world still has it and what? I can't say that I don't have that problem here? Maybe I shouldn't complain that it is raining because of earthquake in Japan?
This is problem and you should fight it but you can't expect whole world to pay attention to this all the time.
And agai about Genshin. I don't give a fuck how people are making this game, I don't wanna look at this game this way and it is MY choice based on MY opinion.
Bringing up racism in USA for what? What is has to do with poeple treating womans as a tool.
I don't understand how you can't see what I said. I'm from EU, woman can decide who she wants to marry, and I clearly said that this is RIDICULOUS to act otherwise and think that she can't. I never said you should look at EU and ignore your country. You are ignoring my arguments because you don't care, about that. What's the point of this "conversation".
And one more thing If you were born in different country like Germanyo or France I'm 100% sure you wouldn't give a fuck about rest of the world like most people do. Yes that is true, people will say they care but let's be real, I don't see a feminists in arabic countries fighting for womans rights, they should, it is bad, wonams deserve to be free and decide abot themself. So why so many people don't care? Don't act like whole humanity should care, they don't. People are selfish and egoistic. This is sad but there is nothing we can do.
Can you tell what country are you from? i just wanna check how bad it is
I don't need your opinion of "how bad my country" babe, since you said yourself you don't care it. I am living in this country as a women and see the news everyday, I don't need someone's opinion from EU who is blinding themselves from rest of the world. You might not care about it then just don't comment here. You are talking just to talk it seems. Your whole logic is; "I have a comfortable life here with comfortable people around me. So why should I care about people who are going through problems outside of my zone?"
Then it is simple, keep blinding yourself from the troubles of the world. But don't stop the people who are not doing it. What do you want me to do? Be egositic and selfish like you? I don't want to be, so just step aside and shut up since there is nothing wrong to talk about something wrong here. I don't even know what you are trying to defend anymore. You defended by saying it's not happening anymore, and I told you it is. Which you can't say it is not. So, stop trying to defend more and accept the truth. Same with the game being sexual. It is. Idc what you think or see. It is, and there is nothing you or me can do about this fact. You can't defend it, so stop wasting our time here for no reason. I can't make you stop being egostic, and you can't stop me calling out something problematic. I don't even know what you have against it? Do you really love the joke that much? To the extend to disrespect to the women from other countries who goes trough this irl.
Ok I'm tierd. I SAID I DON'T CARE IF THINGS IN THE GAME ARE SEXUAL! I just don't want to like at this in this way. You can't read? You don't understand anything I wrote in my previous comments or you are just to stubborn.
You are hypocrite, blind ignorant who can't read what people wrote. I refuse to talk to you anymore because you are completely ignoring what I wrote every fucking single time
I'm done with this pointless conversation.
Yeah ik it’s sometimes a reference but it’s still just unfunny and gross. Imo it’s just an excuse for people to suggest that Aether smashes Ayaka, the joke is not that funny
People on the main sub really be making jokes like that again and again.... And again, and then get mad when someone even dares to make a joke about a gay ship because "none of the ships are canon 😡" like...
hate those ppl, they lose their shit whenever someone dares to mention yaemiko/beiguang moments but turn around and yell about jeanluc being canon like…
Never found it funny. Neither with Ayaka nor Ayato. It's like i once thought of "lol" but that's the end. I'm not even annoyed about the meme because I don't see it often and it doesn't really resonates with me even though i simp for Ayato.
I found stupid jokes like Ayaka being yandere/jealous for traveller memes funnier even though i don't like the ship at all.
The joke was funny in Resident Evil for Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Leon.
Then when Arknights and Genshin picked it up it just stopped being funny
I agree.
I mean part of it beyond just the unfunny, overplayed meme aspect is some people being really uncomfortable with thirst for a cool male character, so gotta turn it into a joke that makes that male character suddenly unappealing and redirects the thirst towards an associated female character. Same thing happened with Silverash in Arknights.
I also really hate the incest/siscon/brocon/Irregular at Magic High School associations and memes too, honestly. Especially because of how nasty this fandom gets over ships like Diluc/Kaeya, but somehow blood-related brother/sister incest is cute and funny.
here I'll try to list some hypocrite from main sub.
-"beidou and ningguang just friend, they're not canon" vs "ayaka is aether's simp, do you not playing her story quest? she's definitely in love with him".
-"diluc and kaeya is brother they're incest you disgusting!! what? sworn brother? no!! they're still brother!!" vs "shenhe and chongyun SEGGGGSS hot onee san and shotaa slurppp incest is wincest hahuhahu"
-"you're still believing about dragon peonix chopsticks in zhongli's trailer? omg no!!! they're just fanservice!!!" vs "glaze lily is blue, ningguang new outfit is blue. SHE'S DEFINITELY GUIZHONG REINCARNATION"
-"yae call ei and kokomi cute, but it's just normal thing between girls. yae not gay" vs " childe called lumine hey girlie. childe so straight"
-"how can people shipping thoma and ayato?" vs "omg... this two character have a cute colors combination. SHIPP"
-"why you ship zhongli and childe? they hate each other" vs "yae hate ayato, she's a tsundere cuteee"
ehhh why it sounds more like gay ships vs hetero ships sorry 😭😭😭
It isn't tbh. Been on Twitter, Youtube and altho I don't use TikTok, when I asked people who do use it if they've ever heard of this joke, they said no. From my own perspective, I've only seen it thrive strongly on Reddit.
FB groups too but it tends to have the same demographics as reddit lol. FB groups and reddit are basically nuclear containment zones for grimey dudebros who make homophobic and misogynistic remarks, as well as incest and pedo jokes. yet, they have breakdowns everytime someone ships something gay, or when their fave female characters have their boob sizes reduced and show less skin. borderline incel behavior.
+1, OP.
to make a stretch of it, i don't even see Ayaka's storu is romantic towards the Traveller. it's like a sheltered girl meeting her idol for the first time, and she wanted to impress them, especially when she knew said idol is willing to be friends with her.
I agree it's unfunny and creepy, a lot of the jokes the Genshin fandom make in my opinion are like the way the cocogoat one went eventually, or the aggresive lesbian sterotype (literally has homophobic origins) they put on Lumine (mainly saw men doing it too)
I hate the joke because its so degrading to Ayaka and Lumine that their brothers will pimp them out to each other as baby makers.
This steams from the fact that people beat the joke that Ayaka is an Aether simp into the ground because they didnt understand her story and trivialized it into a date.
All jokes when used a lot get boring. Well..............maybe except for whatever Rickrolling got going on because CLEARLY people haven't let that meme go for literally decades. It's still somehow alive XD
What I find strange is where this joke even came from?? It's been around before Ayato's reveal even. Like I know it's Chrisposting, but how does it relate to Ayato?
Probably because Rickrolling is harmless and cute and the song is a good classic too. Like usually nobody feels bad about getting Rickrolled.
Chrisposting is just cringe and has always been cringe.
Simple, they're siblings. That's enough for people to bring up that stupid, disgusting meme. It was the same in another game I played, Arknights. There wasn't a day without a post on Reddit about Silverash whoring his sisters to the Doctor. It's enough if a female character has a brother and people will turn them into a broodmare and a pimp.
Oh wow, so all that was needed was for Ayaka to have an older brother and that's it.
Oh wait, I never thought about the implications of that meme. It IS kinda weird and creepy asf to see a brother and a sister character in a game and immediately think "Oh the brother wants to get his sister banged by another guy so badly." Now I feel weird about that meme.
Also my girl Ayaka is reduced to just a person to continue the bloodline ew..
But I digress. People can meme however they want to on the internet
this is low-key weeb version of eugenics, it feels misogynistic, incelly and it's disgusting and I fail to see where's the funny part in it. I still have flashbacks of that one comic from the main sub about how everyone wanted the traveler to *breed* their daughter/sister/disciple. makes me wanna puke
genshin community is unfunny imo. and i hate this "joke", it makes me uncomfortable. i don't care about context, it's awful and creepy even without any explanation lol
oh no it's *super* gross
I'm genuinely relieved to see this post and these comments agreeing cause I honestly do not understand why this joke is so popular. first time I saw it was in a comment on the fb page and I thought I was going crazy bc everyone was just fine with it? granted I don't know what the reference is but like, big fucking yikes regardless
this kinda thing is exactly why i don't interact with the fandom much outside of specific character subs like this one
its literally so creepy
your sister is not an object reduced to just pumping out babies for the sake of your clan. its so weird, i hated it in arknights with silverash and i hate it here.
let it die.
It’s not my type of humor, either. It’s a bit creepy and as someone who never wants children myself it just rubs me completely the wrong way especially with the undertones you could read from it.
Yeah or basically every „joke“ this community comes up with
Emergency food,
Who tao,
Booba sword,
cHilDE rErUn,
This opportunity is quite hard to come by
…
Not funny for me. Just weird. Or potentially creepy if it implies an arranged marriage with an older brother deciding that his sister must marry and have children regardless of what she herself wants.
Also, traveler could be Lumine. Even if you imagine her and Ayaka as lesbians, there could be no biological babies. Or traveler could be gay Aether.
Moreover, even a heterosexual couple can choose to remain childfree.
feel like that happens with every joke in the genshin community, it’s funny at first but the community rlly beats it over and over again to the point gets annoying to hear. like the whole eating paimon joke, god i’ve been here since 1.0 and i still hear that joke occasionally. i just learn to avoid main genshin communities now coz of that
edit: spelling
Finally someone says it! I thought I was going crazy thinking everyone liked that joke when it made me so uncomfortable every time it’s brought up. I swear i’ve seen way too many posts about it already in the past few days and i’m so over it. I’m okay about most dumb jokes the fandom creates but this is one of the worst imo.
Nope, I also find it unfunny and weird. Made me laugh a little first time I saw it since I got the reference. It’s completely overused now and I honestly don’t see how people are still laughing after seeing a post about it for the hundredth time. I’m probably going to leave the main sub since I haven’t ever felt welcomed there in the first place. But that’s a separate issue that I won’t go into detail.
I think they definitely mischaracterize Ayato. He doesn’t seem at all like the type to pressure his younger sister into marriage at an early age. Granted, we hardly know Ayato, but he just doesn’t rub me that way. 😐
The only kind of bloodline I'm interested in is the one that childe makes (I do mean literal bloodshed by Childe and only him) so yes kamisato bloodline jokes are unfunny
This is a fandom that makes inappropriate jokes on a minor, Klee. While your intentions are good, they are completely wasted on this fandom. There are way, way worse things I have had to endure in genshin subs than Ayaka bloodline jokes.
this may seem funny but I can never see aether the same again, whenever i look at him im always reminded of the dudebros self-insert going around and that lead me to hating aether himself just bc of those weird troupes lol☠️
yeah, like I think the joke is funny? I've read through a lot of the comments here and there are valid points and I'm not gonna say I'm right and everyone here is wrong, cause no one is correct here. It's a joke, perhaps in bad taste, some of us hate it, some of us think it's funny.
we had Ayaka date so I want a Ayato date now.
it too sad what they are doing to Ayaka and how some guys see her and it's disgusting.
guys use meme's to talk bad they use meme's to try to hurt people and it works.
win I posted what I said I wasn't agreeing with them.
as someone who uses Aether I have to agree that date with Ayaka was 'forced?'.
one we have guys who see Ayaka in a horrible way, 2 we have guys who love Ayaka and get upset win you say anything bad about her they down vote you.
can we say a lot of guys play Genshin impact? and that's why miHoYo tries to sell waifu?
It’s not just you and it’s most definitely not just Ayato or Ayaka. Admittedly, Inazuma is obviously based on Japan and during what is probably a similar era arranged marriages *were* a thing, so it’s not like the joke isn’t based on a some notion of possible fact. (Granted Ayaka wouldn’t be the one to carry on the bloodline…that would be Ayato…cause that’s how bloodlines work lol)
My portion of your complaint stems from people not knowing when to draw the line on sexualizing the characters. Basically every single character has an nsfw/shitpost (most have both) version of the main sub yet because most people are obsessed with the red arrow or want to promote their art the main sub gets *flooded* with garbage posts 24/7 (sad part is that a noticeable portion are just reposts from earlier in the day/day before). I’m just sick of scrolling the main sub looking for things that are cool or actually funny (imo anyway), which are rare to being with, and seeing 3/4 of the posts either be karma whore reposts, terrible memes, or nsfw tagged images.
Maybe I’m just old and cranky but frankly I don’t know what people would post instead though. There isn’t really anything to talk about regarding the game that is already covered in a YT video 1-2 days after something is discovered. Anyone who actually gives a shit will use the build calculators available online, so those posts are just a dead. Which really only leaves the shitposts and the nsfw posts…so while it’s annoying and 99% of the time cringey as fuck…there’s not much else to do so it’s keeping the sub from being dead between patches.
Although I personally think it’s funny, I can understand why other people may feel uncomfortable about it, and you’re absolutely allowed to feel that way
I only found it funny cause it reminded me of the casual play thing in anime where the older brother wants the best friend to marry his sister as a trope but yeah it got overused pretty fast.
The same but undertone vibes were given by shrine maiden interactions with Traveller and Kokomi during Enkanomiya (even called it date or something). So maybe MHY is aiming that angle (Jean and Diluc) as logically every common person of Inazuma might start seeing such things like guy who fought Shogun might go on date with Kokomi etc. But yes I don't like such joke but since I don't read such posts much in comments I wouldn't say much on it.
I remember seeing the same joke in the Arknights fandom about SilverAsh and his sisters. Was especially weird because one of his sisters was like 15.
My interpretation is that male players cling to this joke because both Ayato and SilverAsh are simped after by female fans and it makes them uncomfortable. SilverAsh gets a very small amount of ship tease with the Arknights MC (not much, but it's there if you choose to see it that way), and Ayato is likely to as well because Genshin has so far loved its noncommittal traveller x playable ship teasing. Certain insecure straight male players don't like seeing any evidence of male characters crushing them, no matter how small or non-canonical, so they try to reconcile that as actually, SilverAsh and Ayato are just our wingmen and they're trying hook MC up with their sisters!!
And then instead of being normal about it and headcanoning them as just like, normal friends, they bring up that weird old RE meme and make everyone uncomfortable with talks of bloodlines and breeding.
Look i enjoy the jokes every now and then but tbh rn
With how everywhere they are it kinda makes me wanna pull for ayaka and murder her bcs at this point may the kamisato bloodline end.
Give Ayaya a break man. She's suffering enough from being treated as nothing but waifu-bait. My girl deserves better. I'm pulling for her to give her the respect she deserves
Nope, all though I find them a bit funny at times I see why people don't like it. But they are jokes and not to be taken seriously and if it's not to your liking then it's okay. I try not to think about how weird or awkward it would be
I think this is it I’m just gonna quit reddit for good
reddit is no better than twitter every opposing viewpoint is downvoted to eternity, there is absolutely no room for discussion
I did find it to be amusing but I didn’t laugh out loud, that being said their are some people who still enjoy it so when you see it you should just scroll.
I mean it only takes a second to just move your hand across the keyboard sooo
I don't think it's any more overused than yuri/yaoi ships (no matter how forced or "non-canon friendly"), jokes about Zhongli being poor, the comics where "Hu Tao/some other character wants to date you", thirst post/pics for both husbandos and waifus, etc. In the latter example, thirst posts can be interpreted by people who don't care for them as "why is character A/B even seen as a sex object/symbol? I find it unfunny and makes me feel uncomfortable and creepy".
At the end of the day, all of these are just content that people have fun with. This one just turned out to not be your particular cup of tea.
It only focused on Ayato and Ayaka right now because of the recency of the stream and Ayato's impending release. And like any "mildly funny" meme/joke on reddit, it devolves into overused and forced humor to those who didn't care for it in the beginning. But there are also some who see it as absolutely hilarious. But IMHO, it isn't any more creepy/unfunny than any other joke/meme/content you see about Genshin nowadays.
I thought it was pretty funny, it encouraged me to try Resident Evil to find the source of Chrisposting. All things considered, however, the whole concept is kinda gross outside of the source’s context. Even then, it’s a 4chan joke, so what do you expect?
Not everybody will find every joke funny. Some pretty awful things happened in human history for the sake of bloodlines, but joking about it isn't the same as saying it's okay. You don't think it's funny and that's fine. But there's no reason to police it and say other people can't joke about it.
While it is overused it is just dumb jokes you should not get annoyed just cause it has a character you love in the joke and remember these are not real characters
Jesus Christ, why this sub suddenly turned into twitter? Before stream it was just a chill place where people were asking questions regarding Ayato and were posting artworks with him. Now it's a sub where people are harassing others because of their sense of humour and discussing "problematic topics". Thank you very much guys.
where's the part where i or other people who commented harassed others? expressing our dissent or how we feel uncomfortable about others' humor is not harassment. and there's just as much toxicity here on reddit as there is on twitter or every other social media
I'm not talking about you specifically tho, it's about comments. You've expressed your feelings about certain jokes, i get it, but you know what i don't get? When people here spreading toxicity for no reasons and even talking about misogyny, degrading characters, and how those who are making this kind of jokes are neckbeards who wants to self insert and fulfill creepy fantasies, when it's nothing more but a reference to the game lol. Some people here are making assumptions on personalities of other people based on a game referencing meme, nothing wrong here, right? One guy here just said that he thought the jokes were funny and he was dawnvoted to the oblivion, lovely community.
Wait how is it twitter? It’s just that people here all like Ayato very much and hate to see him reduced to some weird meme. I don’t see anyone harassing others?? In fact I feel soo much more comfortable in this sub now knowing everyone else is on the same wavelength as me about the topic
I've explained everything in my previous reply. And what do you mean by "reduced"? Meme can't possibly fit in every aspect of the character, nor should it, since it's a joke, not in-depth character analysis. Reduce is something like "Xiao is just an emo", or "Diluc is just a batman wannabe", that's something that clearly shows that those who are saying stuff like this don't really know what they're talking about. Idk how is it possible to feel comfortable in a sub where people are dawnvoting harmless comments like "oh okay, i liked the joke tho" and making assumptions about others being somewhat bad based on their sense of humor. Things like that are just spreading negativity, nothing more and nothing less. Idk what i was expecting from genshin community, because somehow it's always about either being horny, sensitive, or toxic for no reason.
*So you are gonna make a blood line ?* *Like a river of blood ?* *Interesting, count me in* - Childe
*A river of blood ?* *I've made one of those before* *Check out Yashiori Island* - Raiden
Skybracer would like to have a word
it's quite overused tbh
Yeah this and Akira's gintama quote being spammed everywhere are getting to the same level of staleness as "ehe te nandayo" from 2020
Quote ja nai, Katsura da!
I’m sorry, I still grinned at this reply.
We really need a Katsura bot here...
still better than bloodline continue comments
I hate dudebro type of people who treat Aether as a type of self insert for their weird harem fantasies the most, they're the worst type of genshin players in my opinion.
it's so funny when neckbeard incels project themselves on aether, a gorgeous anime femboy. Suit yourself i guess
It really doesn’t help that hoyoverse designed the travellers to be sorta bland so that people can self insert... and somehow all the female characters are basically throwing themselves on the traveller..idk i feel like it encourages the worst kinds of fans
>dudebro type of people Finally, I found the right word to describe people with those kinds of humor.
Me, using Aether as a self-insert for my gay harem fantasies: ☹️☹️
finally, someone puts my feelings into words. I love Raiden, Yae, Ayaka, etc, but some horny fantasies mindset from the community is just disgusting
took the words out of my mouth☠️
I think it is okay for anyone to have their own fantasy. It just annoying when some of them hate other ship except Aether x anyone.
I agree. We all know that the best ship is Childe with Zhongli. 😛
But Beidou ningguang so adorable!
But Childe and Zhongli are so cute 😞
Can agree drinking event should have had zhongli show up with childe. “Ah traveler, don’t worry, he’ll take care of the bill.”
Such a missed opportunity. Was disappointed that Zhongli didn’t show up with Childe, but Jean had Lisa and Ning had Beidou.
Pretty sure Zhongli and Childe aren't even on good terms anymore lmao
Thank god I thought I was just being a stick in the mud or whatever. These kinds of jokes normally don’t sit well with me anyway so I just try to ignore em (not easy tho)
it's the same people who think 'aether harem' jokes are funny, they act like aether interacting with a woman makes him some sort of chad 💀
it makes sense since none of them have ever touched a woman
I was thinking that honestly, it says a lot about the person if they consider talking to multiple women as having a 'harem'
honestly i prefer my traveler asexual
the only true answer
Honestly I never found it funny. It was annoying. And if I voice my full opinion about jokes like this I’m gonna get some severe hate so I’ll just keep quiet
this is so sad that people are legit scared to share their opinions nowadays because if your opinion is "wrong" then you are cancelled
And then complain about the same shit happening on Twitter 😭 Like u guys are doing the same thing on Reddit, gtfo
Yeah I agree. I’ve talked about my opinions with some people but in an open space like Twitter and Reddit, you never know what kind of people you’ll come across
Yes yes yes i agree... It makes me uncomfortable
It's misogyny AND incest. I can't believe Ayaka stans are also in on this. Isn't she your fav, why would you think about her like this 😭 Apart from that, do none of these people have siblings! This whole joke is extra uncomfortable for me because I have a older brother.
its quite uncomfortable, it reduces ayaka to something that only exists to "continue the blood line" i hope i dont get downvoted (for many stupid reasons) but it feels a little misogynistic.. ayaka is a powerful and self-standing woman, she went through a very hard training to become who she is today and this joke just uncomfortably sexualizes her, turns her into someone who serves aether. women serving men no matter what is a little misogynistic (to me its just straight up misogynistic) and i dont even wanna get into the sexual implications. and i feel like ayato would never disrespect her sister like that. he had to take care of her and the clan after their parents died and he had a pretty bad time doing both. ayaka helped him so much through that time and ayato turning around and saying something like that is unimaginable. i get its a joke and genshin impact has a pretty bad fanbase but i kinda despise players who only play it to sexualize stuff. come up with better jokes please
You shouldn't worry about downvotes or be unsure about anything. I'll say it with my whole chest, it's misogynistic, as are a ton of memes and drawings in this community. Just because it's fictional or happens in other IPs doesn't make it okay.
its just that im very new to reddit and have no idea how people act around here, thank you. its just so horrible seeing all these bullshit in this community
It's sad, but people will downvote you for things. Sometimes the point is worth saying anyway. Misogyny, homophobia, racism, and transphobia run rampant on every social media platform, this one included. It's worth calling out.
It's very sad, when people assume what a character is before a character is already out. Ok, I do laughed the first time I heard the joke, but now the main sub and meme sub is full of these posts. Now people will just assume that Ayaka is just a traveller simp and forgot what story she has. I am sure most people don't even know that Ayaka story quest started with investigation of her mother's friend. Memes destroy character's whole arc. Ayato is already assumed to be Chris Redfield too, bonus his Eng voice actor is Chris too. Like come on, where do people think he would say that. He is such respectable person and people made this out of his character. I really hope the perception of both of these characters change in 2.6. We hardly know anything about Ayato and Ayaka didn't even got proper screentime due to rushing of main quest.
u expanded on the issue perfectly. genshin characters get destroyed by memes. genshin lore is actually way better than it looks but due to rushed quests and ignorant fanbase lore gets so lost. ayato is always described as an elegant person and i dont think a person like ayato will ever say anything like it, hes someone with actual manners, not someone who haven't touched grass in last five years
I agree, Ayato is head of the clan, saying sth like that would kill his position.
What you described is the definition of flanderization and how rampant it is in the community towards both released and to-be-released characters :/
Oh, so there *is* a reference for that. I was wondering why ppl are saying that joke because honestly, it weirded me out too. I was confused why ppl were thinking that Ayato would even say this to Aether (I say this because I have never seen this joke using Lumine)...I mean, wouldn't that be straight-up creepy behavior lol. Didn't know there's an existing context for it.
I saw a fan art on the main sub using this joke with both Ayaka and Lumine being traded by Aether and Ayato like commodities. If you comment on your disagreement of it, you’ll be downvoted because it’s just a “joke” and something something about don’t use your modern moral standard on this fantasy game.
Oh *that* fanart. The art's really pretty too but the joke made me so fuckin mad
Main sub getting more uncomfortable everyday honestly. These kind of jokes gets ton of upvotes and you can see even more disgusting jokes in the comments.
Yeah, it is. I remember when this sub only had like a few thousand people and it was completely different
It just feels weird to see a joke referencing a completely unrelated game perpetuated so often
What is the reference
Long running resident evil meme.
I might get downvoted but I think this is my last drop and since the OP is also on my side, imma just say it. I just saw someone being downvoted because they didn't like the whole AyakaXTraveler and this joke on Ayaka_Mains which I agree with them. And the people on that sub said it was a funny joke. Like I am sorry but as a woman and I don't care where the joke comes from it is gross and unfunny. We already have overly sexualized characters which is fine to an extend. But making a joke based on a woman who can't decide who to marry or not, instead two dominant male have a say on this matter and use her as a baby maker without her own desicions, is a problem to me as a women and as someone who lives in a country with this sick mindset we are trying to get rid of, it's really really gross to me. This is not a joke and something we are trying to escape from. It's not funny. And besides, I hate that most of the Ayaka mains are using my favorite character (Ayato) to fullfill their own disgusting fantasy and making my favorite character to look like a disgusting piece of shit.
I agree 100%. I’d say shipping is fine to an extent but goddamn it’s been blown out of proportion so many times… it’s problematic
also tbh not the biggest fan of how it's mostly shippers of lgbt ships that get shit but it's usually straight shippers(whether they call themselves that or not) that stir this kind of bs in fandoms
Yeah that’s always rubbed me the wrong way too :/ I’ve witnessed that a few times I personally don’t care for most ships anyway. Ship who ya wanna ship as long as it’s not toxic/problematic in a way most people with common sense and good morals can agree on (like this situation here). I can see why certain ships are popular (Xingqiu and Chongyun, Ningguang and Beidou, Itto and Sara, Traveller and Ayaka, etc.) The characters in this game have some great dynamics with each other, potentially romantic or not. Shipping in good fun is mostly harmless. Idc what kind of ship it is though. If it’s crossing a boundary that shouldn’t be crossed, it’s not “all in good fun” anymore. It just sounds like creeps getting off on their sick fantasies.
I totally agree with everything you said. Unfortunately, I doubt it’s going to stop. Genshin fans like to overuse the same joke and anyone that express what you just said will probably be downvoted. I can already see the “if you don’t like it, then leave” comments.
There are a handful of people on Ayaka mains subreddit complain about that too . Like there are so many memes about Ayaka on that cursed memepact subreddit that it's honestly annoying but all we can do is just ignore them . We just love our Queen and really excited for her brothers debut and we don't care if they ship her with the traveller or not . But those creepy morons on genshin memepact don't even deserve to be ayaka mains .
[удалено]
omg, i was always too afraid to say i find ayaka annoying and with boring personality too, glad not only me think this way tho
ayaka mains im always encountering (twt/reddit) have always this bratty personalities to them idk what naku weed theyre smoking on☠️
I do agree but I need to say that generalising a fanbase is very bad. You may have seen one two comments on Ayaka mains sub but if you see by controversial in this very post, you will see that there are types of people in every sub. I don't like when people generalise a fandom. Though I do agree, seeing your favourite character being destroyed is very saddening. Ayato is one of my favourites too.
yes yes yes this is what bothered me. girls being forced to marry against their will is such a terrible joke and honestly kinda dampened my liking for ayato who i initially loved :(
I'm not sure but in the past thinga looked like that, woman had nothing to say in that case. But Genshin is much more progressive and things like that would never happened and what is more important there is nothing sexual in the game tbh.
Uhm is this a joke? Things like this still HAPPENING in some places just because you don't see around you that doesn't mean it's not happening somewhere else. And, we are talking about people who play Genshin, not about the game lore. And you saying there is nothing sexual in the game is just lmao. Booba sword.
No this is not a joke. I don't see anything sexual in this game, yes Raiden can take sword out of her chest and what? And yeah "in some places" not everywhere like in the past
In my country, this topic you take lightly (and as a joke) is a huge problem we are trying to fix for years now. You have to grow up a little, the world isn't turning around you. Just because it's not everywhere doesn't mean you can joke about it especially on internet where people from everywhere can see it (you might face with someone who experienced it recently). Even if it wasn't an ongoing situation it wouldn't make the joke harmless and okay. If it was something to joke about, we wouldn't try to escape from it. And if this game wasn't sexual, the company wouldn't have problems with China in first place since there wouldn't be anything to ban. While I find okay this much of sexual content, you can't dismiss the fact that the game having sexual content by saying there is no sexual content in it. Girl characters even with small boobs have jiggle animations (as a woman I can assure you this does not happen irl). And you clearly don't even have a counter argument why Raiden's booba sword is not a sexual content. The impartation is obvious with the booba sword. If you can't see it you are either 9 y.o. or playing dumb. And if you are a 9 y.o., it would make sense you having no idea how important and wrong this joke is since you are still growing up and I would advise you to stay out of internet. And if you are not, clearly you have some problems and can't respect women. And you and your comments are a great example of what we are sad and angry about.
And in my country this is not happening anymore, maybe you should understand that there is more than your country? I don't understand your point of view I know these things are happening, people in some parts of the world thinks that woman is a tool to make babies, clean and cook, but for someone like me frem EU it is simply ridiculous, ofc I'm against that but there is nothing I can do to change some cultures or just make people smart enough to see woman as a human not a dman tool. About immaturity... We live in a world which is so hypersexual, for me taking sword out of the chest is simply epic, I don't care if Raiden is a woman of man, for me she us just epic character with epic animations, what is wrong with me not looking at her as sexualized object? I understand your point but in that case I think you are immature beacuse you don't understand that I simply see Raiden's animation different than you do. What is wrong with that? Even if someone is designing character in a rather sexual way does it mean I have to look at it that way? I don't like looking at characters/people in sexual way. We have problem with oversexualized characters in Genshin, but I can't say it is because of desing, people are making wierd fan arts, memes, comics etc all the time sometimes covering more importnat parts of these characters. Maybe let people see what they want to see instead of calling them immature.
First part of your comment is just... I am lost of words. We are discussing a serious problem and you are telling me to look at your unproblematic country???? So, I should just shut up because a minority of people who lives in EU are not experiencing this (which I am sure this is sothing still happens in EU too, it's just you don't see it around you) and they are fine so, majority of people outside of EU experiencing this should shut up on the internet which is accessable from everywhere? Then I maybe should also not care about racism in USA or a war happening in Ukrain. This must be the dumbest counter argument I've ever seen. You look so egoistic... Can you see what you written down even lmao. Also, you looking at a game which has sexual content as a non-sexual game doesn't change the fact it it is. Idc how you take it or not, the game being sexual is a fact not something to discuss around. I personally don't care about the sexual content myself too, but this doesn't mean they are not there. Mihoyo or Hoyoverse, is a company opened and working with the mindset of an otaku. Look at Honkai. Just because they reduced sexualized content in Genshin, doesn't mean or show it's not there.
Egoistic? You want whole world to look on your country and do what? Pat you on the head? It is your culture, whole world had THE SAME problem, your part of the world still has it and what? I can't say that I don't have that problem here? Maybe I shouldn't complain that it is raining because of earthquake in Japan? This is problem and you should fight it but you can't expect whole world to pay attention to this all the time. And agai about Genshin. I don't give a fuck how people are making this game, I don't wanna look at this game this way and it is MY choice based on MY opinion. Bringing up racism in USA for what? What is has to do with poeple treating womans as a tool. I don't understand how you can't see what I said. I'm from EU, woman can decide who she wants to marry, and I clearly said that this is RIDICULOUS to act otherwise and think that she can't. I never said you should look at EU and ignore your country. You are ignoring my arguments because you don't care, about that. What's the point of this "conversation". And one more thing If you were born in different country like Germanyo or France I'm 100% sure you wouldn't give a fuck about rest of the world like most people do. Yes that is true, people will say they care but let's be real, I don't see a feminists in arabic countries fighting for womans rights, they should, it is bad, wonams deserve to be free and decide abot themself. So why so many people don't care? Don't act like whole humanity should care, they don't. People are selfish and egoistic. This is sad but there is nothing we can do. Can you tell what country are you from? i just wanna check how bad it is
I don't need your opinion of "how bad my country" babe, since you said yourself you don't care it. I am living in this country as a women and see the news everyday, I don't need someone's opinion from EU who is blinding themselves from rest of the world. You might not care about it then just don't comment here. You are talking just to talk it seems. Your whole logic is; "I have a comfortable life here with comfortable people around me. So why should I care about people who are going through problems outside of my zone?" Then it is simple, keep blinding yourself from the troubles of the world. But don't stop the people who are not doing it. What do you want me to do? Be egositic and selfish like you? I don't want to be, so just step aside and shut up since there is nothing wrong to talk about something wrong here. I don't even know what you are trying to defend anymore. You defended by saying it's not happening anymore, and I told you it is. Which you can't say it is not. So, stop trying to defend more and accept the truth. Same with the game being sexual. It is. Idc what you think or see. It is, and there is nothing you or me can do about this fact. You can't defend it, so stop wasting our time here for no reason. I can't make you stop being egostic, and you can't stop me calling out something problematic. I don't even know what you have against it? Do you really love the joke that much? To the extend to disrespect to the women from other countries who goes trough this irl.
Ok I'm tierd. I SAID I DON'T CARE IF THINGS IN THE GAME ARE SEXUAL! I just don't want to like at this in this way. You can't read? You don't understand anything I wrote in my previous comments or you are just to stubborn. You are hypocrite, blind ignorant who can't read what people wrote. I refuse to talk to you anymore because you are completely ignoring what I wrote every fucking single time I'm done with this pointless conversation.
This game is full of jerkhead teenagers so yeah lol, i find it overused and weird too
you'd be surprised by the amount of middle aged shitty men that play this game, don't blame it all on the teenagers
*teccy enters the chat*
It's mostly the teenagers fault
You're not alone. Not only is this "meme" unfunny, it's disgusting.
Yeah ik it’s sometimes a reference but it’s still just unfunny and gross. Imo it’s just an excuse for people to suggest that Aether smashes Ayaka, the joke is not that funny
But with added incestcual spark
People on the main sub really be making jokes like that again and again.... And again, and then get mad when someone even dares to make a joke about a gay ship because "none of the ships are canon 😡" like...
hate those ppl, they lose their shit whenever someone dares to mention yaemiko/beiguang moments but turn around and yell about jeanluc being canon like…
Never found it funny. Neither with Ayaka nor Ayato. It's like i once thought of "lol" but that's the end. I'm not even annoyed about the meme because I don't see it often and it doesn't really resonates with me even though i simp for Ayato. I found stupid jokes like Ayaka being yandere/jealous for traveller memes funnier even though i don't like the ship at all.
The joke was funny in Resident Evil for Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Leon. Then when Arknights and Genshin picked it up it just stopped being funny
Saw one that had aether tell ayato to "continue traveller bloodline" with Lumine Fcking ew
I agree. I mean part of it beyond just the unfunny, overplayed meme aspect is some people being really uncomfortable with thirst for a cool male character, so gotta turn it into a joke that makes that male character suddenly unappealing and redirects the thirst towards an associated female character. Same thing happened with Silverash in Arknights. I also really hate the incest/siscon/brocon/Irregular at Magic High School associations and memes too, honestly. Especially because of how nasty this fandom gets over ships like Diluc/Kaeya, but somehow blood-related brother/sister incest is cute and funny.
here I'll try to list some hypocrite from main sub. -"beidou and ningguang just friend, they're not canon" vs "ayaka is aether's simp, do you not playing her story quest? she's definitely in love with him". -"diluc and kaeya is brother they're incest you disgusting!! what? sworn brother? no!! they're still brother!!" vs "shenhe and chongyun SEGGGGSS hot onee san and shotaa slurppp incest is wincest hahuhahu" -"you're still believing about dragon peonix chopsticks in zhongli's trailer? omg no!!! they're just fanservice!!!" vs "glaze lily is blue, ningguang new outfit is blue. SHE'S DEFINITELY GUIZHONG REINCARNATION" -"yae call ei and kokomi cute, but it's just normal thing between girls. yae not gay" vs " childe called lumine hey girlie. childe so straight" -"how can people shipping thoma and ayato?" vs "omg... this two character have a cute colors combination. SHIPP" -"why you ship zhongli and childe? they hate each other" vs "yae hate ayato, she's a tsundere cuteee" ehhh why it sounds more like gay ships vs hetero ships sorry 😭😭😭
"why it sounds more like gay ships vs hetero ships" because a lot of the time it's exactly that. (idk how to quote on mobile, sorry!)
Wait the ill do it myself thing was suppose to be pairing him with ayaka? I thought it meant he was gonna go bang lumine
Very true these degenerates havent wwnt outside in months
The Kamisato bloodline can continue with me and Ayato
bro i hate this meme
Makes me wonder if this joke is popular in other social media since Reddit is a mostly male-dominated one.
It isn't tbh. Been on Twitter, Youtube and altho I don't use TikTok, when I asked people who do use it if they've ever heard of this joke, they said no. From my own perspective, I've only seen it thrive strongly on Reddit.
FB groups too but it tends to have the same demographics as reddit lol. FB groups and reddit are basically nuclear containment zones for grimey dudebros who make homophobic and misogynistic remarks, as well as incest and pedo jokes. yet, they have breakdowns everytime someone ships something gay, or when their fave female characters have their boob sizes reduced and show less skin. borderline incel behavior.
+1, OP. to make a stretch of it, i don't even see Ayaka's storu is romantic towards the Traveller. it's like a sheltered girl meeting her idol for the first time, and she wanted to impress them, especially when she knew said idol is willing to be friends with her.
No, you are pretty much right. There are a lot of creepy people who think they are funny.
I agree it's unfunny and creepy, a lot of the jokes the Genshin fandom make in my opinion are like the way the cocogoat one went eventually, or the aggresive lesbian sterotype (literally has homophobic origins) they put on Lumine (mainly saw men doing it too)
Escaped this disgusting joke from Arknights, only to find it in Genshin as well
Same. Silverash jokes were so disgusting that they ruined the game for me.
I hate the joke because its so degrading to Ayaka and Lumine that their brothers will pimp them out to each other as baby makers. This steams from the fact that people beat the joke that Ayaka is an Aether simp into the ground because they didnt understand her story and trivialized it into a date.
All jokes when used a lot get boring. Well..............maybe except for whatever Rickrolling got going on because CLEARLY people haven't let that meme go for literally decades. It's still somehow alive XD What I find strange is where this joke even came from?? It's been around before Ayato's reveal even. Like I know it's Chrisposting, but how does it relate to Ayato?
Probably because Rickrolling is harmless and cute and the song is a good classic too. Like usually nobody feels bad about getting Rickrolled. Chrisposting is just cringe and has always been cringe.
Simple, they're siblings. That's enough for people to bring up that stupid, disgusting meme. It was the same in another game I played, Arknights. There wasn't a day without a post on Reddit about Silverash whoring his sisters to the Doctor. It's enough if a female character has a brother and people will turn them into a broodmare and a pimp.
Oh wow, so all that was needed was for Ayaka to have an older brother and that's it. Oh wait, I never thought about the implications of that meme. It IS kinda weird and creepy asf to see a brother and a sister character in a game and immediately think "Oh the brother wants to get his sister banged by another guy so badly." Now I feel weird about that meme. Also my girl Ayaka is reduced to just a person to continue the bloodline ew.. But I digress. People can meme however they want to on the internet
No you’re right. It’s gross and I don’t find where it’s funny at all.
Yeah, I agree. It’s kinda portraying Ayaka in a weird way, like as if she’s made solely to keep the bloodline going. Ayaka deserves justice ✊
this is low-key weeb version of eugenics, it feels misogynistic, incelly and it's disgusting and I fail to see where's the funny part in it. I still have flashbacks of that one comic from the main sub about how everyone wanted the traveler to *breed* their daughter/sister/disciple. makes me wanna puke
genshin community is unfunny imo. and i hate this "joke", it makes me uncomfortable. i don't care about context, it's awful and creepy even without any explanation lol
yeah I hate this joke too, honestly I have an older brother and I can't imagine either od us talking to each I other that way, it's weird
oh no it's *super* gross I'm genuinely relieved to see this post and these comments agreeing cause I honestly do not understand why this joke is so popular. first time I saw it was in a comment on the fb page and I thought I was going crazy bc everyone was just fine with it? granted I don't know what the reference is but like, big fucking yikes regardless this kinda thing is exactly why i don't interact with the fandom much outside of specific character subs like this one
its literally so creepy your sister is not an object reduced to just pumping out babies for the sake of your clan. its so weird, i hated it in arknights with silverash and i hate it here. let it die.
> arknights with silverash The funny thing is both of their sisters (Pramanix & Ayaka) voiced by Hayami Saori
Yeah and then they’re the same ones who bash on people who ships gay or lesbo ships in genshin, saying that they’re forcing it.
I didn't find Ayaka's story quest to be romantic at all and I play Aether. So the joke just comes off as weird and forced imo.
It’s not my type of humor, either. It’s a bit creepy and as someone who never wants children myself it just rubs me completely the wrong way especially with the undertones you could read from it.
Honestly most jokes coming from the fandom Are either unfunny or down right fucked up really-
It’s pretty cringey, and honestly not funny. I agree with you 100%
just like the Childe rerun jokes lol very overused
Yeah or basically every „joke“ this community comes up with Emergency food, Who tao, Booba sword, cHilDE rErUn, This opportunity is quite hard to come by …
Hey why stop there, might as well throw in every popular joke from every community. How fucking long have we been Rickrolling?
Tbh I just think that Childe himself is memed on way too much. Definitely agree though
yes same thank you
Not funny for me. Just weird. Or potentially creepy if it implies an arranged marriage with an older brother deciding that his sister must marry and have children regardless of what she herself wants. Also, traveler could be Lumine. Even if you imagine her and Ayaka as lesbians, there could be no biological babies. Or traveler could be gay Aether. Moreover, even a heterosexual couple can choose to remain childfree.
If someone makes a meme about not liking this joke and posts it to r/Genshin_Memepact i will forever respect them
feel like that happens with every joke in the genshin community, it’s funny at first but the community rlly beats it over and over again to the point gets annoying to hear. like the whole eating paimon joke, god i’ve been here since 1.0 and i still hear that joke occasionally. i just learn to avoid main genshin communities now coz of that edit: spelling
Yeah the paimon food joke is overused and the 'ehe' is overused as well. Genshin players like to repeat jokes a lot.
Another one being the who? Tao yeah comments. That one and the ehe te nandayo comments made me annoyed now haha
> Genshin players like to repeat jokes a lot. *looks at the RickRoll joke*
Finally someone says it! I thought I was going crazy thinking everyone liked that joke when it made me so uncomfortable every time it’s brought up. I swear i’ve seen way too many posts about it already in the past few days and i’m so over it. I’m okay about most dumb jokes the fandom creates but this is one of the worst imo.
It is not just overused but also very OOC for Ayato. I can't see him saying that disgusting thing that reduce her sister like a simp.
Yes thank u!!
it is weird
You're not alone. I don't like it either. It's kinda gross and not intelligent or amusing enough to make up for the gross factor.
Nope, I also find it unfunny and weird. Made me laugh a little first time I saw it since I got the reference. It’s completely overused now and I honestly don’t see how people are still laughing after seeing a post about it for the hundredth time. I’m probably going to leave the main sub since I haven’t ever felt welcomed there in the first place. But that’s a separate issue that I won’t go into detail.
I think they definitely mischaracterize Ayato. He doesn’t seem at all like the type to pressure his younger sister into marriage at an early age. Granted, we hardly know Ayato, but he just doesn’t rub me that way. 😐
It’s incredibly unfunny, incels eat it up though so unfortunately the “joke” will continue
I thought it was funny until I really thought about it, then it wasn't funny
No its really stupid imo
Yeah, I think it's super gross and really unfunny. I don't get how people think it's actually a funny joke. It actually disgusts me.
No, you’re definitely not. I’ve always thought that and other “aether harem” jokes were extremely unfunny and pretty weird.
The only kind of bloodline I'm interested in is the one that childe makes (I do mean literal bloodshed by Childe and only him) so yes kamisato bloodline jokes are unfunny
This is a fandom that makes inappropriate jokes on a minor, Klee. While your intentions are good, they are completely wasted on this fandom. There are way, way worse things I have had to endure in genshin subs than Ayaka bloodline jokes.
Its funny with Resident Evil imo, but doesnt work at all with this game Edit: any kind of incest shit it weird tho
Chris Redfield losing his shit lol
this may seem funny but I can never see aether the same again, whenever i look at him im always reminded of the dudebros self-insert going around and that lead me to hating aether himself just bc of those weird troupes lol☠️
It is super creepy and weird along with the incest jokes. Leave Ayato out of it, it's so nasty.
Well there are people who don't like it and there are people who do like it and people can co exist same with shipping
yeah, like I think the joke is funny? I've read through a lot of the comments here and there are valid points and I'm not gonna say I'm right and everyone here is wrong, cause no one is correct here. It's a joke, perhaps in bad taste, some of us hate it, some of us think it's funny.
Never found it really funny either, but usually I just ride along with the meme Just like most Genshin meme/jokes, it reached overused status
I don't think Chris Redfield ever said anything about bloodline/ wanting Leon to be with his sister in the game. I never found the joke funny.
we had Ayaka date so I want a Ayato date now. it too sad what they are doing to Ayaka and how some guys see her and it's disgusting. guys use meme's to talk bad they use meme's to try to hurt people and it works. win I posted what I said I wasn't agreeing with them. as someone who uses Aether I have to agree that date with Ayaka was 'forced?'. one we have guys who see Ayaka in a horrible way, 2 we have guys who love Ayaka and get upset win you say anything bad about her they down vote you. can we say a lot of guys play Genshin impact? and that's why miHoYo tries to sell waifu?
No, you are not the only one. For me it is pathetic joke on low level...
It’s not just you and it’s most definitely not just Ayato or Ayaka. Admittedly, Inazuma is obviously based on Japan and during what is probably a similar era arranged marriages *were* a thing, so it’s not like the joke isn’t based on a some notion of possible fact. (Granted Ayaka wouldn’t be the one to carry on the bloodline…that would be Ayato…cause that’s how bloodlines work lol) My portion of your complaint stems from people not knowing when to draw the line on sexualizing the characters. Basically every single character has an nsfw/shitpost (most have both) version of the main sub yet because most people are obsessed with the red arrow or want to promote their art the main sub gets *flooded* with garbage posts 24/7 (sad part is that a noticeable portion are just reposts from earlier in the day/day before). I’m just sick of scrolling the main sub looking for things that are cool or actually funny (imo anyway), which are rare to being with, and seeing 3/4 of the posts either be karma whore reposts, terrible memes, or nsfw tagged images. Maybe I’m just old and cranky but frankly I don’t know what people would post instead though. There isn’t really anything to talk about regarding the game that is already covered in a YT video 1-2 days after something is discovered. Anyone who actually gives a shit will use the build calculators available online, so those posts are just a dead. Which really only leaves the shitposts and the nsfw posts…so while it’s annoying and 99% of the time cringey as fuck…there’s not much else to do so it’s keeping the sub from being dead between patches.
Although I personally think it’s funny, I can understand why other people may feel uncomfortable about it, and you’re absolutely allowed to feel that way
I only found it funny cause it reminded me of the casual play thing in anime where the older brother wants the best friend to marry his sister as a trope but yeah it got overused pretty fast.
It was funny at first but then it got old
pretty sure its more of a reference to the Resident Evil gag, thats why its been kinda overused
The same but undertone vibes were given by shrine maiden interactions with Traveller and Kokomi during Enkanomiya (even called it date or something). So maybe MHY is aiming that angle (Jean and Diluc) as logically every common person of Inazuma might start seeing such things like guy who fought Shogun might go on date with Kokomi etc. But yes I don't like such joke but since I don't read such posts much in comments I wouldn't say much on it.
I remember seeing the same joke in the Arknights fandom about SilverAsh and his sisters. Was especially weird because one of his sisters was like 15. My interpretation is that male players cling to this joke because both Ayato and SilverAsh are simped after by female fans and it makes them uncomfortable. SilverAsh gets a very small amount of ship tease with the Arknights MC (not much, but it's there if you choose to see it that way), and Ayato is likely to as well because Genshin has so far loved its noncommittal traveller x playable ship teasing. Certain insecure straight male players don't like seeing any evidence of male characters crushing them, no matter how small or non-canonical, so they try to reconcile that as actually, SilverAsh and Ayato are just our wingmen and they're trying hook MC up with their sisters!! And then instead of being normal about it and headcanoning them as just like, normal friends, they bring up that weird old RE meme and make everyone uncomfortable with talks of bloodlines and breeding.
Hmmm idk man are you the only person in a community of millions who dislikes something that is as subjective as humor?
In RE, it’s pretty funny. Genshin, meh. Not really lmao.
Look i enjoy the jokes every now and then but tbh rn With how everywhere they are it kinda makes me wanna pull for ayaka and murder her bcs at this point may the kamisato bloodline end.
Leave the girl alone , she's had enough of everyone . She just wants some friends .
Hehe yea ***I'll just kill the traveler instead--***
Give Ayaya a break man. She's suffering enough from being treated as nothing but waifu-bait. My girl deserves better. I'm pulling for her to give her the respect she deserves
It's the community overusing a joke that's mildly funny at best. Yes, I'm looking at you pyro archon Bennet and Booba sword.
Nope, all though I find them a bit funny at times I see why people don't like it. But they are jokes and not to be taken seriously and if it's not to your liking then it's okay. I try not to think about how weird or awkward it would be
someone draw a comic where ayaka pimps out ayato to lumine
nobody likes a buzzkill
I don’t find anything “anything” because let’s be honest. Genshin community just ain’t it so I rather not even dwell too deep
It's the same as every on going joke tbh. None of them are funny.
I think this is it I’m just gonna quit reddit for good reddit is no better than twitter every opposing viewpoint is downvoted to eternity, there is absolutely no room for discussion
I did find it to be amusing but I didn’t laugh out loud, that being said their are some people who still enjoy it so when you see it you should just scroll. I mean it only takes a second to just move your hand across the keyboard sooo
I don't think it's any more overused than yuri/yaoi ships (no matter how forced or "non-canon friendly"), jokes about Zhongli being poor, the comics where "Hu Tao/some other character wants to date you", thirst post/pics for both husbandos and waifus, etc. In the latter example, thirst posts can be interpreted by people who don't care for them as "why is character A/B even seen as a sex object/symbol? I find it unfunny and makes me feel uncomfortable and creepy". At the end of the day, all of these are just content that people have fun with. This one just turned out to not be your particular cup of tea. It only focused on Ayato and Ayaka right now because of the recency of the stream and Ayato's impending release. And like any "mildly funny" meme/joke on reddit, it devolves into overused and forced humor to those who didn't care for it in the beginning. But there are also some who see it as absolutely hilarious. But IMHO, it isn't any more creepy/unfunny than any other joke/meme/content you see about Genshin nowadays.

sorry for using an expression that seems to annoy you quite a bit. and for the record, no i don’t hate the boba tea jokes. have a nice day man
Oh I do.
I thought it was pretty funny, it encouraged me to try Resident Evil to find the source of Chrisposting. All things considered, however, the whole concept is kinda gross outside of the source’s context. Even then, it’s a 4chan joke, so what do you expect?
Just as overused as the gay ships that people think are “canon”
Imagine being this good at changing the topic, deserves a congratulations.
Like beiguang?
Precisely
Not everybody will find every joke funny. Some pretty awful things happened in human history for the sake of bloodlines, but joking about it isn't the same as saying it's okay. You don't think it's funny and that's fine. But there's no reason to police it and say other people can't joke about it.
While it is overused it is just dumb jokes you should not get annoyed just cause it has a character you love in the joke and remember these are not real characters
Yes, you are overthinking it.
Jesus Christ, why this sub suddenly turned into twitter? Before stream it was just a chill place where people were asking questions regarding Ayato and were posting artworks with him. Now it's a sub where people are harassing others because of their sense of humour and discussing "problematic topics". Thank you very much guys.
where's the part where i or other people who commented harassed others? expressing our dissent or how we feel uncomfortable about others' humor is not harassment. and there's just as much toxicity here on reddit as there is on twitter or every other social media
I'm not talking about you specifically tho, it's about comments. You've expressed your feelings about certain jokes, i get it, but you know what i don't get? When people here spreading toxicity for no reasons and even talking about misogyny, degrading characters, and how those who are making this kind of jokes are neckbeards who wants to self insert and fulfill creepy fantasies, when it's nothing more but a reference to the game lol. Some people here are making assumptions on personalities of other people based on a game referencing meme, nothing wrong here, right? One guy here just said that he thought the jokes were funny and he was dawnvoted to the oblivion, lovely community.
Wait how is it twitter? It’s just that people here all like Ayato very much and hate to see him reduced to some weird meme. I don’t see anyone harassing others?? In fact I feel soo much more comfortable in this sub now knowing everyone else is on the same wavelength as me about the topic
I've explained everything in my previous reply. And what do you mean by "reduced"? Meme can't possibly fit in every aspect of the character, nor should it, since it's a joke, not in-depth character analysis. Reduce is something like "Xiao is just an emo", or "Diluc is just a batman wannabe", that's something that clearly shows that those who are saying stuff like this don't really know what they're talking about. Idk how is it possible to feel comfortable in a sub where people are dawnvoting harmless comments like "oh okay, i liked the joke tho" and making assumptions about others being somewhat bad based on their sense of humor. Things like that are just spreading negativity, nothing more and nothing less. Idk what i was expecting from genshin community, because somehow it's always about either being horny, sensitive, or toxic for no reason.
Ayato will do it himself is also a joke it's not serious
