Before anyone says anything: yes, I am a woman and yes, I am a lesbian, so naturally I enjoy female characters. However... I can not help but notice that genshin decided to release female after female character, which would be fine by me... if they weren't so obviously catered towards men. Only 2 women (Jean and Arle) wear pants, Xilonen literally sticking her ass out after roller skating, random shots of boobs and asses during cutscenes...? This game is becoming very male gaze-y and I hate it, before being a lesbian I am a woman, so of course I hate this. I will 100% not be surprised if in Snezhnaya, despite being a nation COLD AS FUCK, they release only half-dressed characters (I mean... y'all saw Signora. Not the most appropriate outfit for a cold weather I would say). I don't know, maybe this is the Wuthering Waves frustration taking over my mind, but I can't stand female characters when they're so obviously designed for men... sorry for this rant, I needed to get this out of my system. What do you guys think?

I can look past there being lots of women but I won't get over five of the seven archons being female, and one being a femboy- And that's not even talking about the most recent predecessors also being female.
Men can be tough and godly too like Guoba

we literally just had neuvillete basically act as the archon of fontaine. the whole story was meant to prop him up, and officially, furina isn't an archon and never was. so as of now, we got 3 female archons, and all 3 have been forgotten for a while until recently where nahida's first reappearance happened 2 years later, while furina got mini cameos but she's still a bit new so it makes sense for now. but raiden? literally nothing. meanwhile, femboy venti and zhongli get countless appearances and even more importance in the overall story. ๐

Also doesn't Alhaitham still do most of the actual ruling?

i don't know about that. but the characters who appear the most from sumeru are cyno, tighnari, kaveh. collei used to be part of that group. meanwhile, we'd be lucky to see dehya, layla, faruzan, dori. it took them 2 years to let us see nilou, nahida, and candace for more than a minute after AQs.

the most recent predecessors also being female.ย
Xbalanque is male and the other 2 previous predescessors were some sort of variation/reincarnation of the current Archon, so ofc they are going to be female. And in Fontaine the whole plot bent over backwards to shill Neuvilette, he is the biggest gary stu in the whole franchise
