>strengthening my straightness My guy already lost 💀💀


-Mal--

If it needs strengthening THIS much... yeaaah


shirodkuro

so sad man hes so insecured, this is what the average "waifu purist" feels like to me


Spartitan

Considering his tag is the 'one and only not so straight' guy, going to guess this is all said in sarcasm.


shirodkuro

yeah could be, goes to show how dedicated people like him are, i couldn’t really tell the sarcasm


six_seasons

Seems like everyone else missed the obvious sarcasm here too This fandom is NOT beating the reading comprehension allegations 💀


Yellena-B

are we not a fanbase that skips dialogue


six_seasons

😂 we are indeed


IloveRikuhachimaAru

nah, he's telepathically defying the gay beams sent to his house by the big H (Hoyoverse)


CCtenor

HOYOSEXUALS^turningthesealiesgay


crookedparadigm

Seeing the ZZZ folks lose their mind over some character design changes from the beta to release was very sad to watch.


coolboy2984

It's actually hilarious. They changed her pose, but it's literally FULL FOCUSED on her tits compared to before. Like they're mad that the revealing pose was replaced by another revealing pose.


Velstrom

Like when Overwatch swapped Tracer's butt pose with a different butt pose.


six_seasons

You should see the meltdown over the design change to scar in wuwa 😂


crookedparadigm

That one seems more meme driven, but who can tell these days lol


NoteBlock08

Seeing people *here* lose their mind over Rosaria's changes, both from her introduction to release and then again with her more CCP friendly skin was very sad to watch.


six_seasons

I just saw something similar in the wuwa fandom over a character named scar, was definitely cringing at all the complaints 😩😂

[удалено]


crookedparadigm

Not that I know of, but there was outrage over one character's...proportions and physics...being altered to be slightly closer to something that might make sense in reality. Still very fanservicey, but not enough to stop people crying "censorship!"


Super63Mario

The change wasn't even that radical if we're talking about Nicole. All they did was make her bra straps maybe an inch wider.


crookedparadigm

Oh I know, but the malding on the subreddit over it was something to behold.


DZL100

I don’t remember if there was an outcry about the rosaria nerf


crookedparadigm

Not nearly as much because she wasn't the poster girl for Genshin like Nicole is for ZZZ.


CelestialDrive

Someone on my WuWa discords has been rerolling for three days for an account that first rolls two girl 5stars on the beginner banner, nothing else, and then only rolling on event banners with all girl featured four-stars. I am dead serious. Their argument is that they're so good at action games that they can finally play a game without men if they dodge and parry everything.


Eistik

Well, that's pretty good point tbh, if they are so good that they can make use of not-so-strong characters, they can do whatever they want with their account. But imagine how that guy feel when he finally get the character he wants but then the dev gives all player a choice ticket lol.


YamaShio

I'm a waifu purest too but some of my waifus just happen to be men. Tiggy, Scara, Venti are good examples.


Drachensoap

Valid Sometimes you need a real man to be a good waifu


the_dark_artist

This is legit so funny. I only end up using waifus on my teams myself, but I never even thought of second-guessing birthday gifts from characters xD My man seems to be having a crisis


[deleted]

My man is doing his best to reject the temptation of MEN. Let him do what he needs to do


Fabantonio

real straight men will simply eliminate women from their lives and marry men instead /j


Increase-Typical

Putting the "straight" in "straight-up deranged"


EnlightndBanana

putting the “straight” in “this guy straight up homo af”

escapereal1ty

I'm not gay, but for a dream solvent...


d_worren

20 bucks is 20 bucks, and a dream solvent is a dream solvent


BPlayinMan

I'm not gay, but for Xiao...


-DragonFiire-

Flair does NOT check out


TheEpicJackson14

Unless it's ZyOx


BPlayinMan

What can I say, I'm into mid height, slightly sub men Cyno, Xiao, Lyney and the likes But Cyno is above all of them


Yaruma_

Ain't no way bro just called Xiao mid height and thought we'd let that slide 💀


BPlayinMan

Mid / short height my bad


WarMage1

I don’t know that cyno can be considered sub in any capacity, he definitely ties tighnari up with his hermanubis magic.


BPlayinMan

He could tie me up any day And honestly I'll take any version of Cyno, top or bot


WarMage1

A man of culture indeed


-DragonFiire-

I mean, same, but you can't say you're not gay :P


BPlayinMan

You do have a point


KarMa_Haven

r/foundZy0x


GamerJes

Just borrowing friction from a friend.  That's all.


Cookieditto

Fellas is it gay to accept a gift from a friend coz it’s their birthday and they’re just being nice?


the_zero_achiever

Let's just say that dude doesn't even have a friend to tell him that. Bro's too afraid to be seen as gay, he doesn't know there IS a "b" in "bromance".


Panic-kun

Bro's so straight, he'd rather have a romance with a man instead of a bromance, because "b" stands for "boys".


ZephyrDoesArts

Not totally related, but I always find it funny that we are the one getting a gift on their birthday. It could be a cultural difference but the one celebrating his birthday should be the one receiving the gifts (at least where I'm from that's how it works lol) Now, it's also a game and I don't complain haha, but I wonder if it happens in real life too


Ouaouaron

It's almost certainly because it's a game. Hoyo knows how effective it is to give out gifts (especially for things players can buy with real money, since it increases the amount of money players spend on the game), and players giving a gift to NPCs takes a lot of work to do right. Notice that on *your* birthday, Hoyo still gives you a gift (at least in HSR). In China, it appears that you usually give gifts to the person having the birthday. There is a culture of giving a gift back to someone who gave one to you, but it doesn't sound like that would be common between friends for birthdays. (Though you are expected to give them a gift on their own birthday) Not terribly relevant, but Chinese emperors did have a tendency to flaunt their wealth by giving gifts that were significantly more expensive than the tribute they received.


ZephyrDoesArts

It's always good to learn new things, thanks!


RyuguRenabc1q

My birthday was back in april and my mom took me to buy a new phone. Except i paid with my own money...


ZephyrDoesArts

Ouch xD well, at least you have a new phone


huehuehuehuehuuuu

Bold of us to assume dude ever had a same or opposite sex friend.


TheTorcher

ik, not even the female character's gifts have a romantic undertone.


Noxious89123

Depends, did he give you the gift before or after fellatio?


SNRNXS

Now that I think of it, why are they giving *us* things on their birthday?


Pokefreaker-san

did he said "no homo"?


NPhantasm

Until today I still not used to the birthday person giving the gifts hehe


Grenaja07

being too ashamed to accept gifts from dudes? idk man sounds kinda gay


Goofies_321

Nah but actually sounds exactly like what someone heavily in denial would do


condensedcreamer

His own father never celebrated the little dude's birthday 😔


thisperson345

"Stregthening my straightness" is the gayest thing I've ever heard, mans so tempted by men he's gotta force himself to be straight


six_seasons

Not like the user's title at the top was an obvious giveaway or anything 😅


jyylivic

xiao unstraightens men one dream solvent at a time


Writing_Panda104

He makes anyone fall in love with him by being so bbg


Turinggirl

He needs a boyfriend


G00b3rb0y

He needs to touch grass


One-Associate4581

he needs the touch of a man


89mike8989

He needs the touch of a man touching grass.


RazorCalahan

he needs touch, in general.


Traveler7538

I won't volunteer 


aardowof

he needs a grass man


DaymD

Sips tea... "goodness gracious"


Traveler7538

Lynette, what are you doing here? 


SF-chris

The best part is that he tink Raiden is a men


Ok-Giraffe1922

That seems to be Scara judging by the Sumeru flower. He set Raiden shogun as the name of his Scaramouche for whatever reason


healcannon

Raiden Shogun Jr.


Jnliew

1. Malay/Indonesian player 2. He's so damn insecure, so damn closeted it's insane. He'll make for a ~~great~~ successful politician.


bowl_of_espionage

The funnier/sadder thing is they're usually like that irl too. Won't be surprised if they're closeted, but due to belief/culture, find themselves conflicted & desperate to suppress it.


Razaith

Ah that make sense. I'm not sure sure about Malay but (some) Indonesian are VERY homophobic, I have seen a lot that joke(hopefully) about beating LGBT people. Definitely closeted


DingoPuzzleheaded628

>a lot that joke(hopefully) about beating LGBT people Making jokes about that is still kinda fucked ngl


bowl_of_espionage

*Most* Malays are very homophobic. We have a gov that literally ordered a raid on a Swatch store just because they have a Pride line.


rieldex

every malaysian man ive ever met has been violently homophobic lmao


nicoleeemusic98

I screamed at your 2nd point 😭😭😭😭


Far_Young_2666

I feel bad for blowing this person's bubble, but Raiden Shogun ain't a man, trust me 🤫


DioEgizio

For some reason he named his scara "raiden shogun"


candymannequin

fairly lore accurate


saberjun

Prove it or he won’t believe.


Far_Young_2666

A man can't be a lesbian 🤫


Andriziih

Drake would disagree.


saberjun

How dare you assuming that a man can’t identify himself as a woman and become a man-lesbian.😤


Quaso_is_life

that's the nameable hat guy 😂


Ultikiller

Posts are kinda funny sometimes but it doesnt help when half the posts there are softcore porn


Winterstrife

Or just straight AI request for x character to be in x outfit. Like bruh... we know you gonna jerk off to that.


Difficult-Essay-9313

Back in my day we commissioned guys on deviantArt to draw this stuff, as the lord intended


SittingDuck394

🤣


Unhappy_ass

You gotta 'strengthen your straightness’ you say? While you're checking what 'came' into your MALEbox? 🙂‍↔️ Hmph, clearly this man isn't achieving his goals


BlueRose644

You gotta jerk it to Rule 34 Wriothesley at least once a day. This strengthens your straightness and keeps it rock hard and firm.


Lucythepinkkitten

I mean when you think about it. The types of people who claim that being gay is something to be "trained away" tend to be pretty obsessed with binary gender roles and tend to kinda conflate the two. We know that there are few things more manly than a manly man. Thus more manly men is even more manly. And for this reason, the straightest thing a man can do is to be into manly men with straightness being directly proportional to the amount of men he's into


AMViquel

He probably makes his mom wash him below the belt to avoid gayness. "You're 43 years old, I won't be here forever honey" - "It's OK mum, I'll get a hot nurse for the sponge-bath eventually"


ClaudySama

If you have to ‘strengthen your straightness’ like that, maybe you’re not straight 🤔


SkeletonBreadBowl

Kind like how the post's author has a tag of "Your one and only not so straight friend" so this is a joke and people on this sub need to strengthen their reading.


Mihreva

that is a person who would unironically say "I wouldn't be in the same room as another man because breathing the same air as them is gay"


armbones

im so straight i refuse to make eye contact with another man, lest i fall victim to his masculine temptations


koied

Okay but I'm more intrigued by the fact that he has an unclaimed letter from Raiden. What's the story behind that one? She can't cook, so she's not waifu enough?


Ploffers

she's a robot. liking robots is gay, obviously.


Flair86

Raidens is also sitting there what does this mean


One-Associate4581

it’s the name he gave to his wanderer


Antesia_Delivia

Hoyolab is an actual cesspool. The least funny, most bigoted, and all-around dumbest people form the community on that app.


Ploffers

yea it is probably the most unhinged app ive ever been on. i swear 60% of the posts are people complaining about how they got a 5 star they didnt want in incomprehensibly broken english and then getting ratiod by someone in the comments posting that shenhe credit card gif or something


GsusAmb

It's honestly a great place to laugh at posts.


Ancient_Axe

Considering Xiao's message is the gayest of all... He will lose all the progress he did if he claims those dream solvents


ECK1991

This "rare" item... (Looked at my bag and saw 283 of those).


just_a_anxious_apple

I love hoyolab, almost every other post is someone getting ratio'd on their own post lmfao


Kaiel1412

least misandrist Genshin player


Magic_Star6778

Iove the tools on hoyolab for genshin and hsr and use the interactive genshin map on there alot but I try to avoid looking at posts as much as possible lol.


Nok-y

That's where all the kids went after Miiverse closed


jgabrielferreira

And this is why whenever I try to get my friends into Genshin, HSR, WuWa recently, they come up with “i won’t play a game for weirdos”


banggu_

least parasocial genshin player


Kisulkin

We need one more great flood. Noah get a boat.


JohnDestiny2

Strengthening my straightness by picking Lumine, so that I can accept birthday gifts from the homies


Blitzbro76

I think is dude might be gay if he’s THAT insecure about his sexuality


KingGiuba

What the fuck bro 😭


Natasya95

Nope he doesnt deserved the dream solvent from Xiao 🙄


TheOldDrunkGoat

Strong Chris-chan vibes coming off of this. Terrifying.


FistMage

Just get your No Homo Seal of Heterosexuality and say "No homo" when you accept it. All straight guys know this; you guys thinking he might a gay?


HyperTommy

But why is raiden Shoguns unclaimed?


Diamondom

Raiden is a boy??


TheRandomeRedditor

Okay off topic but why does half of his other mails in a different language?


tea_teh

would never accept any gift from men, not even in-game gifts from 2d fictional guys. just how much of a loser can one person be lol


DomcziX

Gay aside, why are we getting gifts for their birthdays


Torbadajorno

It's really quite astounding how many homophobes are actually on that app


Disco-Corgi-77

Wait, Xiao’s a guy? Who knew.


Ill_Nefariousness242

So sad there's no "haha" react on reddit


SandySpoon27

"look i ain't gay but dream solvent is dream solvent"


fluxforefinger

If you have to strengthen your straightness, maybe you are not as straight as you think you are.


dracuella

That's right, take the D.... .... ...ream solvent


asahi_02

His straightness couldn’t resist Xiao

Wish there was a way to check in without having to read/see anything TBH


muwawa

There are auto-checkin apps and scripts, you just need to login once to the redeem page and get your cookie session ID from the browser's developer tools. The one I use, running on google apps scripts, runs daily and it can send notifications to discord or telegram : https://github.com/canaria3406/hoyolab-auto-sign Another auto-login app, this one has better instructions on how to get the cookie info : https://github.com/Golumpa/hoyolab-auto-login


MofoPro

Thanks , will check out


Damnboi753

There kinda is if you wanna use it, if you log in on their [website ](https://act.hoyolab.com/ys/event/signin-sea-v3/index.html?act_id=e202102251931481) , you can just claim it directly from there without opening the app, the trending posts section is still under that but it only shows you half the title so atleast somewhat better than the app


Entire_Sorbet_9529

Bro I saw this guy's posts once before too. Didn't think he would reach Reddit ngl. Also my man really needs to talk to real people... seriously and I mean SERIOUSLY


starmadeshadows

wait until he hears about the sausage childe sent a couple years ago

MercinwithaMouth

Caitvirule34

So that means he is keeping the men letters and sees them everytime he opens his email, doesn't sound very straight to me 🤨

NatNat52307

I saw this posted and it kinda reminded me of that guy on (I think) Zy0xs stream who purely used female characters that were apart of aethers "harem" and got pissed when he mentioned getting Xiao cause he really likes the traveler it seems.


Active_Ad_7116

The fact that people can't tell it's satire based on his username is honestly more cringe...


Bunnnnii

This is stupid.


SomeAwakenedDude

It's gay to accept gifts from homies but perfectly straight to kiss your homies goodnight


Dazzlinglily

eww


G00b3rb0y

Eh, I get them a lot more than billets. Only really used them when a new boss didn't give the mat for the new character. But I do all bosses every week.

SCREAMING-TAMPON

Off topic, but the first two mails are in English, so when I looked at Benny's, I thought "Huh, when did he start learning hilichurl", and it wasn't until Raiden(Scara) that I went "OH MY GOD IT'S MALAY". I have a love/hate relationship with Tagalong and Malay because I'm dumb as fuck. 😅 ETA: I think some mail is also in Indonesian?

If a bro's giving you good stuff for free, take it. You don't have to take him.

Little does he know that dream solvent is actually Xiao’s cum >!(his ass is grass, welcome to gay town)!<


[deleted]

I love that most of these are “It’s my birthday, here have some of my pocket lint” and then sometimes it’s “it is the celebration of the day of my birth, but let me celebrate YOU instead! Have the rarest most powerful soup one can make my beloved! Huzzah!”


HeavyMetalRabbit

Absolute next level untouched grass behaviour that’s insane LMAO


cybik

Bro's so deep in the closet he's finding next holidays' gifts. (I didn't make this quote but it's so on point)

It's even funnier under the username it said "Your One and only 'Not so straight' guy" 😂 And i'm sorry, my fellow countryman is just acting silly sometimes 😭


NapalmDesu

As a straight guy I want xiao to genshin impact me all the way with that dream solvent of his


Ethananous512

Love his status next to his profile picture. He's also blatantly not accepted Raiden's gift so I can only assume this is the most committed bit of all time


Longjumping_Pear1250

I respect it he's trying hard to reject the temptation i can respect the dedecation


Writing_Panda104

I’m sorry, but it’s okay to take gifts from your male friends too if you’re male! Wtf is this??


Negative-Inspector36
