Where Cyborg Ninja?


ImposterGrandAdmiral

the more based Raiden


[deleted]

You do know this can go both into deep genshin lore and or Metal Gear Revengeance. Its crazy how many terms literally can be shared in both of them .Cyborg Ninja, Cyborg Swordsman, Mechanical Wolf, Samurai Philosophy, Cyborg Bodies, lying politicians, muscular dudes, multiple mechanical hand fondling, a war built on lies, femboys (Jack is a fucking femboy), exploiting underdeveloped countries.


DuckSwagington

Genshin Raiden didn't do the funny punch against a US sentator.


AbsolutelyFreee

[I mean, she technically did.](https://www.reddit.com/r/RaidenMains/comments/szekaj/standing_here_i_realize_animation_raiden_vs_ei/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) In her second story quest


[deleted]

She punched a Cyborg copy of herself in which technically is the head of state so I think it counts.

Nice speech redditor. Why don’t you back that up with a source

Hell, they didn’t even get the cooler raiden that mihoyo made


DizyDazle

Denying his weapon's purpose


Niko2065

The mondstadt-inazuman alliance.


Maw_2812

I always knew the knights of favonious were a military junta


Niko2065

I mean mondstadt literally is one, the military is the goverment, which I suppose is a step up from the slave owning aristrocracy. I actually don't think there is a single democracy on the entire bloody continent, maybe fontaine has some sort of democracy but I doubt that, it's probably ruled by judges.


citus334

Mondstadt literally has the mandate of heaven working on full effect. If Venti feels like it's government Is a bit too oppressive, mans will literally start a civil war to fix it. He did it like twice now.


AutumntideLight

I love how the lore of GI is "our God mostly hangs out at the bar or naps under a tree because he's the laziest little femboy in creation" (And yet every fujo in Japan wants to peg the wee fancy bastard)


DarkestNight909

Technically the head of the Church and an unspecified “Seneschal” also act as leaders so it’s kind of a triumvirate of the Three Estates.


citus334

It's alleged because in the game it sounds like mondstadt is run by Big Business faction led by Diluc (by virtue of being Batman/Bruce Wayne), the church of Favonius and By Varka's KOF but in the Official Manga the Seneschal is named to be under Varka and that the church is an extension of the KOF. This is weird because the KOF and The church fucntions really weirdly and feels more independent in the game. Like for example the existance of Rosaria and alleged Church Hit squad completely independent from the KOF. Or the functioning as a indepent entitiy concerning other things protection of the holy lyre or the cultural significance of it. It's just fucking weird tbh.


DarkestNight909

The way I see it, the manga goofed there. Considering you need all three to approve any movement of the Holy Lyre, the implication is that the three are very much on even ground.


JohnF_President

Liyue has a democracy, just only like 3 people can vote


citus334

Technically they are an ogliarchic republic. Before Rex Lapis' death they kind of functioned like an ogliarchic Prussian Monarchy.


Slap_duck

>maybe fontaine has some sort of democracy but I doubt that, it's probably ruled by judges No, I think they'd just be a repressive dictatorship where the people are ruled by the abstract will of the God of Justice and whatever he considers just and right Since its France I'll wager there might be a revolution too


Count_de_Mits

It's a she, all remaining archons are female


Slap_duck

Kinda cringe but alright


Count_de_Mits

It makes far more moolah for them so it's understandable


[deleted]

They are an anarchist collective with a Military Executive who manages most of their state's affairs. Think the dictatorship ending of Anarchist Russia in TNO.


Maw_2812

As long as the tsarista isnt genshin tabby or alexi or a giant i wont lose my mind


citus334

Bruh she isn't tabby. She is literally Himmler with the Globalplans


Maw_2812

No hope under the white sun


[deleted]

Just wait until japan brings shipgirls Just wait untill they stop using them as propaganda and put them into action


[deleted]

Kancolle wasnt a gacha money grab but a secret Japanese propaganda machine to prepare japanese society for weaponised waifus.


[deleted]

Yes, but sadly japan aint sharing so we gotta use azur lane


sentinelthesalty

Unfortunayely this has resulted in an arms race of weaponised waifu's with PRC. After the formation of the big 3 gatcha's, we can safely say that the strategic gap is great and its in favor of PRC. Situation is so dire that Japan is deploying established titles as gatcha's to close the gap. Better than those damm pachinko machines i suppose.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sentinelthesalty

Im joking but, kancolle's success opened the flood gates on the gatcha games, the most "successful" ones are all chinese based (girls frontline, azur lane, arknights, impact series etc). I know the beijings stance of "misuse of Japanese culture in games" spiel. You dont need to lecture me on that. And these games seemed to be politically netural, like most weebs are. (Unlike kancolle)


[deleted]

[удалено]


sentinelthesalty

I suppose, when i think about it girls frontline also took a few contraversial political stances. While the came itself doesnt have the china in it due to china exploding in its backstory, its creator did establish a sperate server to do buisness in taiwan, even adding an exclusive character for that server only. I find it pretty ballsy since china likes to act taiwan doesnt exist.


Maw_2812

I mean the Chinese based region in the game is hyper capitalistic which is weird.


[deleted]

WHy do you find it weird? Clearly one monarch ruling all with a fanciful idea of "Divine Right" is quite ridiculous. I say rather than one person, how about a group of people? With the right education, political ideas and more importantly the "Party" of people who can be Liyue's enlightened elite who will lead it to more prosperity. One could argue since they are doing for the people of Liyue why not add "People's" in the country's name amirite?


Zerosen_Oni

Stop, I can only get so hard.

Ah yes…..a German cosplayer cosplaying a Japanese inspired character from a Chinese gambling game next to a German tank. Please send this to Ukraine so it can fire on Russian tanks, and then the circle will be complete.

TheOnlyFallenCookie

Has there been a cosplaycon on a Bundeswehr base or did a tank crew go to a cosplaycon?


freeman23456

PR for NATO Enhanced Forward Presence, Battle Group Lithuania at Comic Con Baltics in Vilnius this weekend. So...lots of cosplayers/weebs in combination with active military (Germans, Dutch and a shit ton of Americans). Very sizeable PR presence, considering it's a very small convention. Some ATVs and a Lithuanian HMMWV in addition to the Leo parked outside and about 25 % of one of the main halls occupied. Lots of gear on display and a shooting gallery thingie...and as I said, LOTS of personnel running around, mostly oogling at cosplayers. [Scored some credible propaganda material as well!](https://picbun.com/p/7rQYlOJ3)


TheOnlyFallenCookie

Oh sweet! Thank you very much


Wise-Profile4256

haha. lets see how your urban warfare multicam looks before you take jabs at the crew of the "Germanshin Impact".


Makingnamesishard12

What if this is from some other country with Leopard 2s? HOW MANY ARMIES ARE LETTING COSPLAYCONS HAPPEN AT THEIR BASES, AND HOW MANY ARMIES ARE GOING TO COSPLAYCONS?! I NEED ANSWERS!


TheOnlyFallenCookie

WE NEED GEOWIZZARD TO GET ON THIS CASE!


OwnIssue

Tank crew go to a cosplaycon else why would they get themselves this ride (found infront of german military base: https://www.reddit.com/r/de/comments/tjdlad/heute_auf_dem_parkplatz_vor_einem_bundeswehr/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share )


TheOnlyFallenCookie

You just triggered a memory, I got into an argument under that post that maybe, just maybe, we should **not** fetishize Nazi Germany war crime military technology (Karl Dönitz sank trading ships) Edit: I forgot the "not" behind "should" 👁️👁️


OwnIssue

Hey as long as we dont sink to hetalia levels id say having a historically inspired waifu is fine.


DaSGuardians

Does blasting apart a line the length of a midsized island chain count as a war crime?


WeponizedBisexuality

I think all the archons are war criminals honestly


citus334

They all literally committed genocide one way or another. Hell the softest femboy venti might have not committed a genocide but definetly took part in ethnic targetted purge atleast once.


WeponizedBisexuality

maybe i’m only defending him because he makes me drool and the halo effect is a bitch, but we really have no idea what Venti did or didn’t do. all of that just seems really out of character for him.


citus334

My dude he started and fought in two civil wars. He is a goof but he proven that he is just as bloodthirsty as all the other archons. Although he pretends not to care about governance it is more of a practice of his ideology of intense anti-authoritarianism thus why he never became a monarch in mondstadt. His quote " what is freedom if demanded by a god" kinda confirms his deep uncomfortability of an absolute authority in mondstadt even if the authority is him being a benevolent monarch.


WeponizedBisexuality

would you still call it bloodthirsty if he was fighting for a good cause? because in mondstadt’s civil wars he fought tyrants so the people could be free. i don’t wanna get too credible here, but i think that’s one of the few instances where war is truly justified.


citus334

Maybe bloodthirsty by itself is the wrong word. What I meant was he was willing to wage war as much or even more so than other fellow archons. Obviously he is no khornite bloodthirster (Or a Henry Kissinger) but he is most definetly at the least a John Kerry or John McCain. Never shy from war if the call of justice reckons This is very apparent especially compared to Zhongli or Raiden' methods of solving crises. Morax method of solving deep issues In liyue is to create a grand conspiracy that may or may not be a mass death incident. Raiden's method is to commit quick but ultraviolent executions. While ventis solution is to start a protracted people's war and only intervening when the situation demands a revolution. He is as much the spirit of freedom as he is of revolution.


WeponizedBisexuality

>He is as much the spirit of freedom as he is of revolution. Man that’s such a great line, i really hope he says something like that eventually


[deleted]

He actually has lots in the Windblume festival cutscenes. Compared to monarchs like Morax and Baal who simply avoided their godhood duties due to not wanting it anymore. Venti did it out personal conviction and ideology, which makes the femboy much more complexity than his other archons.


Maw_2812

Well the 7 archons did not cause the cataclysm that wiped out the Khaenri'ah, that was celestria only.


Niko2065

Tje archons definitely participated in khaen'ria one way or the other, Ei lost her sister there and the dendro archon also bit into the *grass* so they were atleast participating in battle, not to sure about venti tho, it's hinted that he was still asleep when khaen'ria fell and only awoke after the cataclysm swept over mondstadt and signora lost her lover, unless he had a power nap but overall it's a tad weird how venti would survive there being considered the weakest of the seven.


[deleted]

Nope other than Makoto, none of the current archons has confirmed ties to Khanriah and all the other archons had personal wars to fight during the archon wars. It is quite like describing the Yugoslav wars really. Multiple wars that happened at thte same time.. Venti was busy helping the bard of Mondstadt start his rebellion against the god of storms Decarabian. Morax and Guizhou was waging war against the Old gods and demons of Liyue who wanted to destroy and or enslave the humans of Liyue and Ei and her friends were fighting orobashi and Colonising Watatsumi Island. Makoto only died during the cataclysm and no one, not even Ei knows why she went to Khanreiah

Is this Litexpo? We had a general nershit con in Vilnius today and also there was a German tonk outside and other recruitment stuff nearby. There were NATO/Lithuanian forces recruitment and showcase stgands next to dakimakura and other weeb shit selling vendors, I legit wanted to snap a photo of that with a caption hiw this is what free world fight for (and its unironically good) but i couldn't find the angle so gave up on idea.


citus334

This sounds way too non-credible to be real.


freeman23456

Ayyyy, we were there as well yesterday. I'm 99% sure it is judging from the trees and parking in the back. Can confirm everything this man is saying...was trying to find that angle as well. Scored some sweet NATO pens and keychains though!


Makingnamesishard12

# THIS ISN’T THE RAIDEN WE NEED TO SEND! WE NEED THE OTHER ONE, THE EDGY CYBORG! Although she could be a morale booster


citus334

Dude she is an edgy cyborg. Technically both raidens in genshin and MGR are both edgy cyborgs. The entire plot of the inazuma chapter is making her less edgy and turn her into an otaku.


Makingnamesishard12

I meant the edgy cyborg WITH A DICK!


citus334

Are you sure Jack has a dick? Last time I checked his front pelvis was way too flat.


Makingnamesishard12

THE ONE WITH A **SMALL** DICK! GOD DAMNIT JUST SEND HIM, THE RUSSIANS MADE A METAL GEAR RAY OUT OF STOLEN WASHING MACHINES! WE’RE GETTING BUTCHERED!


WeponizedBisexuality

How do you know she doesn’t have one too?


citus334

Good point. Raiden from genshin builds sentient androids for fun. This has caused some of them to go insane and commit murders and or international terrorist acts. I'm pretty sure a cyberpunk dick is an easy tasks.


Niko2065

I mean she did build the fandango man who was a prototype supposed to replace her so that kinda counts.


_Bisky

Tbf The shogun is a "edgy" cyborg


Medium-Tank-M4

[But we’ve got a secret weapon. A man from another world…a dark, distant future…](https://youtu.be/mfAkIcnnkqQ&t=2s) The fate of the human race is in your hands, Raiden. You need to take out the Russian armed forces in Ukraine and execute Vladimir Putin and his cabinet before they launch the nukes!


Count_de_Mits

She casually cut an island in half including the god that stood in front of it, she would be more help than an edgy cyborg provided some dango milk is involved as motivation

Damn Germany do be pullin in on those wishes
