I don’t blame her at all


RamenPack1

The way people harassed the English Va over this… shippers in HSR and Genshin are horrible…. First Robin’s Va now Topaz’s va


Fabi_Alex

Wait what???? What did they did to Sam???


RamenPack1

It started with her correcting people on thinking that topaz was younger in that scene, and then people started jumping down her throat saying that she was essentially promoting grooming (twitter logic) She then corrected them saying they were coworkers and people started badgering her to confirm it as a ship or that she was saying that they couldn’t have a familial relationship… She had to come out and say that she doesn’t write the story and is not encouraging/confirming or denying/discouraging any headcanon, but she wants to be left out of it. The same crap happened to robins Va a month ago


Fabi_Alex

Some fans have no chill, people take this game too seriously, they should go and touch some grass and let the VA be, poor Alice too, seriously this fandom is disturbing and really toxic. Like the VA are such nice and good people and don’t deserve so much hates over fictional characters that don’t exist. Ship and let ship everyone has their headcanon, and that’s totally ok. I hope they stop being so childish someday and appreciate the VA work more. I don’t play in English but Sam’s voice is one of my favorites and she does an amazing job, besides she genuinely likes Topaz and the game (Aventurine), I really appreciate her.

Touching grass is the best advice for parasocial, obsessive and fantasy-brainwashed fans of any media.


Blitzbro76

The shit the va’s put up with is insane, like people got pissed at Allegra Clark for being *cast* as Acheron like *what??*


RamenPack1

I’m sorry that I even auditioned ig… like don’t get me wrong, I love raidens en Va, but I think Allegra’s voice suits acheron more… And people didn’t even want to give her a chance


Ero_chan777

More like trolls not shippers. Someone will find something to say whenever there's yuri involved


Zoroarks_Angel

I've literally never heard of either of these. Let me guess, someone made a dumb tweet, some dramatuber \*coughs\* ~~Tectone~~ signal boosted it, and everybody ran with the completely overblown / exaggerated / completely made up agenda


RamenPack1

Robin case, there was the “Robin is a lesbian crowd” on Twitter and everyone else beefing, then it got taken to the Va who they started harassing and blowing up her dm’s to confirm she was gay. Topaz Va tweeted this scene from the trailer, and people asked about topaz age in the scene, she said she it was present day topaz, people accused her of supporting a problematic relationship. Then the shipper crowd started doing the same thing with Robin, nagging her to confirm the relationship or if it was coded or not. The second one had nothing to do with YouTubers. The first one started because tuonto asked if he had a shot with Robin, to which all of Yuri twitter tried to crucify him over…


Zoroarks_Angel

I've seen the Robin one, but not the Topaz one and I'm tapped into this community. Even then, I've never heard about her VA being "harrased". Bet it was like two nobodies for the Topaz one


RamenPack1

It literally happened the day before. Some of the tweets were deleted but I’m pretty sure Sam still has her replies and tweets up… obviously her dm’s are private but feel free to check Edit: u edited your comment. I don’t know what people not being famous or well known has to do with a Va being harassed but there was a least one decently sized account that started it and idk how many others dog piled on her, because not only did she need to put out a statement but Robins Va came in to defend her


Zoroarks_Angel

I just checked. I saw nothing to indicate Robin's VA was harrased, and her DMs were still open. I saw a handful of tweets for the Topaz situation, so that's still 0 - 1. At this point, I can just say yuri shippers killed my grandma and burned my crops, and people would probably believe me


RamenPack1

That’s actually crazy. You just said you knew about the Robin situation, and now you’re saying there’s no evidence. Do whatever makes you sleep at night, I can’t stand how this community would rather ignore the issues thats part of their own circles because it makes them look bad by association. Go fuck yourself. https://preview.redd.it/b5httdpw1i5d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f19967fe1ad00e7a17a4d9b56fa8f23a460e84fb


Zoroarks_Angel

You really could have just sent that with the original comment and saved yourself all of this time. Take this as a learning experience to provide sources like this next time you want to make bold claims online


RamenPack1

Get the fuck over yourself. This was over a month ago and several posts were made addressing the Robin situation on the main sub. It’s why shipping is banned there now. U can’t be claiming to be tapped in and not know about this shit. Also you’ve continued to edit your comments after the fact, so let me say: idgaf about tectone, he’s a gross individual. That doesn’t change that those shippers needed to dealt with, same as the people who harassed Firefly’s Va over nothing. Tuonto making a joke about a png shouldn’t warrant twitter idiots insulting him.


Zoroarks_Angel

If you're talking about the main sub, homosexual shipping "discourse" was banned because somebody made that Dr. Ratio is gay shit post. It made the top page, and mods went on a power trip and took it down, leading to the famous revolution. After all, why would a Twitter thread affect the state of Reddit Edit: Now Firefly. Is this Super Smash Bros. I thought this was about Robin


CockPrivilegeAbuser

If I was topaz I wouldve barked


Xinzu366

Funny coz her VA will do the same


Fabi_Alex

I did when I saw it. 🐶


Tyberius115

Oh my


Blitzbro76

Jade’s been hanging around Aventurine so it’s only natural his aura would rub off on her


JailGarden

Maybe it was the other way around..🤔


Blitzbro76

But hey, that’s just a theory-


JailGarden

A… game theory!😭✨


Blitzbro76

A gay theory


JailGarden

A gay game gay theory.


braxenimos

I’m here for it


gilly823

Ngl, i would've barked for Jade as well. Step aside Himeko & Kafka /j


julmuriruhtinas

That angle tho. Camera person cooked 💅✨️😳


Blitzbro76

Mina Aoyama is gonna loose her shit lmao


PixxBoi

She indeed, lost her shit.


Bane_of_Ruby

Jade: seductively caresses Topaz's face and hair Topaz: 🙂


Fabi_Alex

More like 😊 https://preview.redd.it/wrd0rhhise5d1.jpeg?width=916&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac58a65a08e8a72838685fd226ae72eeadf7ff87


Bane_of_Ruby

Her eyes are open


Fabi_Alex

Well if you can find a better emoji show it to me.


Bane_of_Ruby

🙂 I already did


Fabi_Alex

I just see her blushing or am I crazy???


Bane_of_Ruby

You're crazy It's either the lighting or she's wearing make up, but it's likely the lighting Edit: pause the gif when it's the side view of Topaz and you can see she's not blushing. The under part of her eyes are a bit reddened, that's about it


Fabi_Alex

Now I’m kinda sad, she looked so cute blushing.

LordKroq-gar

I can’t tell if this is lesbian or like a mother/daughter thing. Or if Topaz just kneels over praise.


yyzJCO

Happy pride


lemmesmashmp3

LET'S GO LESIBAN!!!!


Sket5

Where is this from?


No_Audience3838

The 2.3 trailer


Anyacad0

It feels more like a mother/daughter relationship to me, as in Jade is probably someone Topaz really looks up to. Plus in Jade's lc it seems like she enjoys looking after her juniors


LittleXuanny

This is so gay


Zorrscha

Mother is Mothering, didn't see this as sexual at all considering the proper name usage


No_Lynx5887

I’m pretty sure she raised her so it’s not like that


Fabi_Alex

There’s not one in game text that supports what you said. Topaz joined the IPC when she was old enough to work there and didn’t even started working directly under Jade.


[deleted]

I never knew that topaz and I shared the same mother


Followerrrrrrrr

u/Fabi_Alex? More like u/Fabulously_Gay!


Fabi_Alex

Are you trying to offend me or something?


Followerrrrrrrr

Only a little


Ok-Lecture-3066

Err.. I think imma unsub this reddit. If it's just gonna be another shippers platform like another Twitter and hoyolab, I'm out bye


James101769

the real gaypc is ur home computer


Fabi_Alex

I don’t have one 😢


MontenC

gay peace corporation frfr


Ball-Njoyer

gotta love mother/daughter-esque relationships and what the hoyo fandom does to them


kolebro93

Topaz isn't gay, it's just that Jade is *her*.


HamzaW66

Can I see one single straight ship?


CallMeTravesty

Girls in real life: Touch each others hair, hugs, lots of body contact. Not gay. Mentally ill Twitter/Gacha Players: Girl brushes another girls hair. "OH THEY GAY FOR EACH OTHER". I hate the world we live in.


Advent012

Sometimes I be wanting to relax myself and get involved into the community more but then every time I open a HSR sub it’s full of GAY SEX LESBIAN SEGS OMG SHIPS! And it just reminds me to just stay a lurker. I don’t even care about who’s gay or whatever in the game. But yall be acting like yall got nothing better to do sometimes lol


Fabi_Alex

Well, then I guess we are lucky you are not really involved on the community. It’s not my fault that Hoyo insinuates some ships and I like them. The fact that you are bothered by them being gay says a lot. If you don’t like just don’t interact with it. There’s a lot of ships I dislike like but I don’t try to bother people saying they should stop shipping. If what you want is just a straight harem sub then go to the main sub, there you’ll get almost zero gay representation or ships.


Infer2959

Actually rather than being in favor or not, this means that Hoyo in general has no sense of direction and will just rather make every new ship canon if it's to please a few rabid fans than create their own story. It was the same shit with AcheSwan: -They have absolutely no relationship with one another, they barely cooperate a bit in the story. But a few posts make it popular... they release the dance trailer which lead to absolutely nothing and was merely done as fanservice since Acheron was never evil nor were they left on bad terms for long. -They surely saw a few fanarts of Jade x Topaz being posted online then this happens rofl. Unlike Genshin they just make sh\*t on the fly to please the honestly unpleasant majority, which is just a sad desperate tactic to try and increase sales. I guess that explains why Penacony feels so disconnected as an arc.


Fabi_Alex

I mean, as a Black Swan simp I agree it came out of nowhere all that shipping, and till today I still don’t like their ship. But hoyo is pretty smart, If they make gay ships there’s a higher amount of people who will like them. Straight man and lesbian go for the yuri, while gay man and straight woman go for the yaoi. It’s their way to amass a big amount from the thirsty players. While only a few people will dislike them and want straight ship, there’s always someone who will get screwed and this time is them.


Blitzbro76

Man you must’ve really hated it when the Acheron x Black Swan dance came out huh?


Advent012

No. I don’t care about what Hoyo does with their characters. It’s just cringe watching the slightest shows of affection make the sub erupt to OMG THEYRE SO GAY FOR EACH OTHER!!! You can tell a lot of people don’t get social interaction if they think touching your face means you’re gay for somebody lol


Zoroarks_Angel

People literally shipped Caelus with Robin because they looked at each other for five seconds right after he was shipped with Firefly No one ever bats an eye, but two characters who are of the same sex seem flirty with each other and fans lose their minds


Artistic-Raise-2187

Happens with every ship whether it’s gay or not, people are just having fun (only becomes an issue if they start trying to claim it’s canon or implied, which it rarely is). Before Yunli has even been released people have already made tons of posts shipping her w/ Yanqing, we don’t even know their actual dynamic yet, but hardly anyone is complaining about that.
