I just realized. I don’t have to argue morality or nuance. Everyone’s a war criminal. It literally doesn’t fucking matter
The amount of times I’m at my wits end trying to explain the nuance of the HP’s actions to somehow explain why they are a faction worth rooting for.
Then I got asked why bother when everyone does it?
And HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Your right.
Every endgame faction in Genshin has done some fucked up shit. Each with circumstantial explanation and nuance.
So why does it even matter?
The agenda is Celestia is the way to go because their rule and plans are ultimately best for everyone.
Which still applies regardless of the morality of the nails or the first war or the curses of the wilderness and immortality. Those are individual actions that are in response to hiccups and other people messing shit up. It has no affect on the overarching plan
Celestia’s plan and PHANES’ rules are literally the only thing keeping Teyvat from sinking into the abyss and everyone in game is starting to realize it like the Hexen.
And what’s funny is.
Celestia’s crimes are mass murder, ecocide, colonialism, and collective punishment.
Fatui: colonialism, mass murder(inciting wars) child experimentation, child grooming, espionage, destabilization, etc
Dragons: eating people, mass murder, bombing humanity back to the Stone Age then orchestrating Thor society so they kill each other and stay primitive savages, abyssal usage, child grooming(Kukulkan)
Celestia’s crime list is ironically smaller and less varied than everyone else’s.
So I don’t give a shit anymore. Celestia number one. Fuck them dragons, fuck them Kheanri’ahns, fuck them Fatui.
