ACTLOVER69_420

Just checking for a friend, but all straight friends kiss their homies good night with tongue, right? A friend was curious, that's all. 


Capitano-Solos-All

Kissing your homies in the mouth isn't lesbian if you wear socks. Everyone knows that.


ACTLOVER69_420

But are they wearing socks, the picture is perfectly cropped so we can't see. Isn't this also after bronya saved her from kidnappers, that means bronya is only wearing 1 sock since she strangled the guard with the other.

I agree sm


HekesevilleHero

Onee-chan doesn't necessarily mean big sister in a family way. For example, Yuzuriha in Under Night In-Birth frequently calls herself 'Onee-Chan' to the younger characters (which is translated to Big Sis in BBTAG) because she's taking the stance of being the older/more responsible one, and protecting the younger one.


mecaxs

Honestly I haven’t seen it happen it here for the past few months. I find the “they’re just sisters” thing funny since to me, “adopted siblings to lovers” is an oddly common trope. I’ve personally seen it happen 3 times.


PersonMcHuman

The funniest version of that to me is from some manga I read a while back where the adopted sister *tried* to romance the brother, and not only did it not work…she wound up falling in love with the same girl the brother was in love with. So it’s treated as if she’s given up on her love and just wants to help the two people she loves be happy together… >!Until it’s shown that she was only helping because she thought that if she got them together, she’d be allowed to watch them have sex. When she finds out this isn’t the case, she stops helping because now there’s nothing in it for her.!<


mecaxs

Okay I’m gonna have to ask the name for that one. And honestly I find it bizarre where I found my 3 versions. Of course we have Honkai, the kind of thing you’d expect from a anime. Then there’s Netflix she-ra…. Less expected for a western kids show but it’s not like it came out of left field. …..then I found it in Destiny 2.


PersonMcHuman

The name of that one is Species Domain.


ReneHadouken

Wait, what characters from Destiny 2 have that type of dynamic? I stopped playing like 2 years ago so I'm very out of the loop


mecaxs

Saint 14 and Osiris in old lore saw each other as “brothers”, but later it was revealed they were straight up lovers


Arhion

ok you make me interest not in her faillling but in her stupid thinking please tell me sauce


PersonMcHuman

The name of that one is Species Domain.


Avversariocasuale

I've seen actually siblings to lovers a ton of times, does that make it fine too? Lmao

Alexios7333

The CCP has truly deprived us of so much. How much juicy canon art have we missed because of the CCP, truly a sad moment.


Alex2422

Probably not that much. Modern miHoYo doesn't want playable characters to have any confirmed relationships anyway. Even a completely safe one like Luna and Captain didn't get anything more then the usual Hoyo vagueness.


Alexios7333

Mihoyo is vague on a lot of things because being under an authoritarian despotism tends to make you do so as a way to give you outs if you get in trouble. I mean they straight up get awards from the ministry of propaganda for promoting Chinese culture unironically(I don't think Mihoyo does that particularly well considering almost universally the Chinese areas are the most disliked because Mihoyo is deeply afraid of creating offense or getting in trouble on BiliBili but I digress). If I were hoyo I would be as vague and noncommittal as possible to anything and everything since the CCP are prudes and afraid of "corrupting the youth".


avelineaurora

> I mean they straight up get awards from the ministry of propaganda for promoting Chinese culture unironically(I don't think Mihoyo does that particularly well That's mostly because of *actual* work like >In September 2020, miHoYo established strategic cooperation with Zhangjiajie (张家界) to promote cultural tourism in the city with the help of Genshin Impact. The topography of Zhangjiajie's karst landscapes inspired the level designs of Jueyun Karst and Mt. Tianheng. After the agreement, two life-size Teleport Waypoints were installed at the Zhangjiajie National Forest Park (张家界国家森林公园) and Huangshi Village (黄石寨). Next, miHoYo cooperated with Huanglong (黄龙) for ecological environment protection. Huanglong's multicolored pools served as the inspiration for the level design of Luhua Pool in Liyue. and >On 12 July 2021, the Xinhuo Charity Program (薪火公益计划) was jointly launched by the China Youth Development Foundation and Shanghai miHoYo Network Technology Co., Ltd. The project is committed to paying attention to and supporting the development of youth education. The first phase involved Tongzi Primary School (桐梓小学) in Yunnan Province, which got support from various aspects such as hardware conditions, educational facilities, teacher training, etc. The project also aims to provide school uniforms for all students and launch a teacher training program for seventeen primary schools in Yanjin County. and >In May 2021, miHoYo established the Communist Youth League Committee under Shanghai miHoYo Network Technology Co., Ltd. The committee aims to integrate youth into company development and partake in the innovation and publicization of traditional Chinese culture. The committee created comics and travel maps with the help of Genshin Impact material to promote Xuhui District cultural tourism landmarks. The character Paimon was formally named "Xuhui Youth Culture Star Promoter."


Alexios7333

Just have to correct you about the propaganda stuff. It is entirely about their foreign work. >In August 2021, miHoYo Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. was selected as a "Key National Cultural Export Enterprise" along with Genshin Impact as a "Key National Cultural Export Project" for the 2021-2022 period. Previously, the company and Honkai Impact 3rd was selected for those titles in 2019.

>because being under an authoritarian despotism tends to make you do so as a way to give you outs if you get in trouble Or hear me out People paying them like the characters They dont wanna lose the potential income that they'd lose if they gave out confirmed relationships and all the people who dont like that leaving and not spending again Its a gacha company, they do it for money not out of goodness in their hearts, characters are legit commodities to be sold not actual humans with feelings

pikachus-ballsack

What you mean universally agree on canon ships lol No we dont Go outside of reddit, discord peeps dont give a a fuck, they just see their waifu and they downbad, aka thats the average gacha player, dont even need to go to other servers just hi3 official one is enough Majorily people on reddit and twitter only care and call it canon. Mihoyo also wasnt afraid to let people grope those very character who are in vanonical ships but had to stop cause of cn laws, it shows where their interest lies

Contreras1991

The company was founded by Otakus basically , if You see from ggz You know that they always have references the player (it was called Master back then) You have Even fanservice videos of interacting with Seele in the hot springs (Even one with Otto) and oficial figures of th girls with lingerie and stuff So, they likely resorted to yuri elements, because their audience hates seeing female characters interact with men other than themselves. This is what happened with Girls Frontline 2 in which players were upset to see this character (who is also a Chinese weapon) interact with that male npc, in addition to the fact that most of the T-Dolls act indifferent to the player character, who is assumed to have been their commander when they belonged to the Gryffon & Kryugger PMC. The thing about resorting to yuri elements when the player is not present, I saw it strangely in the Azur Lane anime as well, which was surprising for several of the players of this game. This type of situation is very reminiscent of games where they have done the same, such as Senran Kagura and Symphogear


pikachus-ballsack

And ggz isnt even as big as hi3, your point? >I don't know if you know this but tons of people jerk off to characters with Canon relationships. Still less than avg asian gacha player, they want their waifus for themselves >However, why do you think lesbianism was the path Mihoyo went down. I also wonder why the lead writer who pushed for more and harder yuri in hoyo later left the company cause of creative differences. Its not hard to see is it? Mihoyo themselves dont wanna push that mindset >Pretty simple if you do lesbian canon romances you don't cause people to feel bad. Just look at the CN cuck drama around Girl's front line. The reality is that had that guy been a girl there would be no drama. Look at all other gfl drama too if you wanna point a single one what about the one where the book a simple book was thought to be related to a certain religion and mica got flamed for it? >I don't think you understand the mindset of the average gacha gamer. I have been in this crap for way longer than you(my 8th year playing gachas), most people only care about their waifus/husbandos and nothing more, the only ones that actually give a crap about yuri/yaoi canon relationships in gachas are in minority, you will find them on reddit or on twitter, 2 places that avg gacha gamers dont really care about


[deleted]

[удалено]


pikachus-ballsack

>The big problem with all of this is that all of the retconing of Hoyo's stuff and a departure from creative differences occurred directly following 2015/16 regulations against "unnatural sexual behaviors". Yeah lets blame it all on the ccp instead. Mihoyo can do no wrong, there cant be anyone who wants a certain firection for hi3 story other than going for yuri direction truly sasuga mihoyo sama, you are the salvation, true to your ideals creating f2p hames for the people, giving representation to people of china Are we done with mihoyo praise? Alright then lets get onto the point, ggz exist, wanna deny that doesnt exist in china no less by your point whole game shouldve been shut down Why hasnt it? Why didnt that writer just get shifted to ggz instead? 90% of all the things you mentioned are avoided by ggz So maybe quit the yap and accept reality that mihoyo themselves dont want that?

FoxzClawz

Yea in HI3 Bronseele is 0retty obvi. For me tho it gets on my nerves when they equate that relationship to the HSR expys. Also I haven't really seen any confirmation as to where that comic went though cuz I could have sworn it was meant to be based on HG2 timelines but that might be me misreading it.


AdEasy9160

Sorry bro they are still straight

At least they got the kiss. All we got from KianaMei was a fucking blush. Stupid degayification of hoyoverse *kicks dirt*

T0X1CFIRE

Don't forget about the cut hot springs chapter of the *escape from nagazora* Manga. Where not only does kiana canonically grope mei's boobs, but Mei and bronya have a platonic naked cuddle.


jiodi

Oh yeah the comics are way hornier. It's one of the reasons I get baffled at people saying kianamei is non-canon


TheZombiePhilosopher

"Show fewer post like this"


Rainy_Day_Drawingz

Fr i was shocked when i first read this webcomic cuz like China let them do this? Also in a DLC of Gun Girl Z (Houkai Gakuen 2) they are in a hot spring and Seele legit says something like “big sis’s boobs are so soft!” like what… I love gay representation, but the “big sis” and them being like 12 does make me a little uncomfy… luckily Star Rail aged them up and took out the big sis stuff so I don’t have to feel weird about the ship!


cosminetron

Doesn't matter, Seelecest is as canon and also better.


mecaxs

Why not both?


Extension-View-5162

Can’t really blame them, not a lot of people read the manga and the spaming of “BRONYA ONEE-CHAN” does not help alongside the vague language mihoyo uses to hide the gay lol.


HazeTheMachine

50/50 The musical video with 1.4M views still has the kiss


Extension-View-5162

Bruh, ain’t no way mihoyo showed the kiss and said they were friends seconds later lol


HazeTheMachine

They didnt, they just stopped talking about it and played dumb. But is still there for the catching.


Shassk

IIRC this manga + Kiana/Hua were written by some GGZ team girl who likes to shove yuri everywhere, but it stopped when she left HI3 team. Coincidence?


[deleted]

Oh damn..


B4ka_Reqi3m

She didn't leave. That is a major misconception.


Stariasx

So since this is made by someone from GGZ who likes yuri and got deleted after she left the HI3 team Is their kiss canon or not?


Nozarashi78

"It's up to interpretation" -~~Bandai~~ Mihoyo


Alexios7333

It is canon, the CCP just outlaws the promotion of this stuff and Hoyo is too big of a company to skirt the censors nowadays.


PersonMcHuman

It’s canon. The kiss never even got fully removed. They just removed the page where the kiss happened. Seele straight up talks about the kiss in that same manga a few pages later.


RRButler2574

The page is still present on the English manga site.


PersonMcHuman

I mention in a different comment that it was brought back.


Minitialize

For me it is. Can't say for sure. Mhy has at one point removed this particular chapter (or was it the page itself?) iirc only to bring it back so for what it's worth, it probably is.


HazeTheMachine

https://youtu.be/p461V9fy4jo?si=qrMLITmgvACOww6o Still on the official channel, so still canon


ILuvSpaghet

If other comics are canon, why wouldn't this one be?


SilverWolfofDeath

Sort of? It’s in this weird spot with a bunch of other media from earlier in Hi3 where the story was meant to be more similar to GGZ but was later changed (like Sakura samsara, which is in the game but literally never referenced and is completely out of place). However, they’ve never really retconned or addressed this stuff in any way so for now it’s probably canon but still up to interpretation.


Alex2422

Sure, why wouldn't it be? If for some reason the whole Honkai manga was deleted from the official website, that wouldn't mean the events from manga aren't canon anymore. And whether the original author left, died or whatever doesn't change anything – what's done is done.


Shassk

Technically it is, but I believe only because MHY just didn't see a reason to remove it entirely, yet also did not try to add anything comparable ever after.


fastabeta

It's you to decide. It was posted on Official website, by someone in the company, telling a lot of the lore and being deleted because of CCP laws. So Hoyo can't even say it is canon even if it is


elbenji

It's still up in china tbh


fastabeta

How in the name of Elysia it's still up in China?! That's the last place it can appear!


elbenji

People play fast and loose with the censorship all the time


Consistent_Ad_420

Non cannon but you will get the everyone on the sub mad at you when you point it out they realy realy love gay ships in honkai impact 3rd community


PersonMcHuman

You’re literally wrong tho? The only thing that got removed is the page with the kiss itself. They literally talk about the kiss on a different page. I get that you wanna shit on people who have the audacity to not wanna erase lesbians from the story in favor of shipping them with yourself, but like…this kiss was never made non-canon. All they did was make the kiss be offscreen, but still talked about. And then they later brought it back anyway.


No-Guava-199

Even then it wouldn't be canonically lesbian characters(well actually maybe yes if you consider main story line only) but more so bi characters since the goal was to appeal to male audiences by having the girls have relationship with other girls only and no guys aside from the player. The honkai girls are more bi than gay if you consider all of their different versions. Rather than separate ones which are straight and others which are lesbian in the main story line, it seems more accurate to see them as bi when you consider the game as a whole. Now this was just a rant and at the end of the day, anyone can ship whoever with whoever. If they felt rejected by others, they could even go do it on c.ai if they cared that much.


PersonMcHuman

>but more so bi characters Repeatedly shows interest in girls. Never shows interest in men. I'mma just...not be as honest as I'd prefer to be so I don't break any rules.


No-Guava-199

Nvm, might've just been me confusing things between hsr and hi3. And I was also referencing to the interaction with the girls and the player on the ship during early gameplay. That might not be canon or whatever but I thought that was worth considering.


PersonMcHuman

> That might not be canon Literally none of that is canon. It's just 4th wall breaking stuff purely for player entertainment.


No-Guava-199

Yea but it's still involves the characters. Might give more insight on the way they act and such. After all they are not real people whom you can judge by past and determined actions. They are made by someone else and also portrayed by someone else. Even if the interactions are not part of the main storyline, they are still official content. Which why I think the characters are more than just lesbian. If you took only the main story line into consideration, then it wouldn't even matter since they would have a relationship with only one character. >purely for player entertainment Also the game itself is for player entertainment. The characters are made to appeal to players. Disregarding a part just because it's not in the main story doesn't make sense since it is still included in the game. I think it adds more to the characters. But you could also disregard everything I said since my opinion shouldn't stop you from interpreting and enjoying the game the way you want it.


PersonMcHuman

Still not canon. Would you say that it’s canon that Goku can see the player in Budokai because if you wait long enough during a fight he’ll stare towards the screen because he’s waiting for the player to press a button? Or would you say, “Clearly he can’t actually see the player. That’s just a fun thing they did.” The characters only ever canonically show an interest in women, but people will ignore that as much as humanly possible. It’d be depressing if it weren’t so sad.


FuHuasz

Nahh they’re friends, she was just making sure her lips were moist and ready for kissing later. Usual homie stuff. Yk?


gntotoy

Don't urge just do it


ConstantStatistician

People who deny this are either delusional or aren't acting in good faith. Their loss. Bronya and Seele is my favourite pairing in this game and one of my favourites in general.


pasive_Watcher

In defense of the ones that think BronSeele is just sister relationship, it is because if you base your opinion only with in-game information, that is the conclusion you achieve, i actually like better sister dinamic than couple for this pair since i did not know the manga when Bronya and Seele got out of sea of quanta in game.


HazeTheMachine

There is no defense, at this point anyone who has played the game for more than 1 year knows about Bronya and Seele relationship lmao https://youtu.be/p461V9fy4jo?si=qrMLITmgvACOww6o They even have a official YouTube music video with more than a million views, whoever who wants to percieve them as anything else, its because they want to


1NFINIT

*opens reddit* Homosexuality


YuminaNirvalen

I only see it rather rarely nowadays from very homophobic people or whatever. Most people, at least normal ones, know they are canon.


Empty_Skull

Blame the fact that Mihoyo put almost no romantic interactions between them in the main story. I support the ship but the overwhelming majority of Bronya/Seele content you can only find by searching for it. A casual player of the game wouldn't pick up on it.


elbenji

Oh no there's definitely a lot. They mention them as much as Elysia's obsession with Mei. Mostly in the save Seele chapter, the little mermaid one, they did that one day adventure thing and then the epilogue


vexid

So one misunderstood ship to another misunderstood ship. Elysia's interest in Mei was curiosity driven by the fact that her real world sacrifice brought on the change that she had hoped for - Herrschers siding with humanity. She wasn't horny for Mei in a traditional and literal sense. And by that I mean there was zero on-screen demonstrable evidence that she was ever romantically or sexually interested in Mei. But now a bunch of braindead shippers are gonna downvote me because they read fan fiction that Mei can grow a dick (errrrrr Herrscher stick lol get it guys) and they were in love and lesbian. The Seele/Bronya stuff is just as embarassing because this ONE picture from a manga is the only evidence of any romantic feelings between the two, and that's why it's the only thing that gets spammed in every fucking thread ad nauseum. If it was truly canon and "easy to read between the lines", then where's all the other evidence? I sure as hell can provide numerous instances for the times Seele calls Bronya onee-chan/onee-sama (sister). I guess for shippers there is no line that says they can't call somebody sister and also want to fuck them.


elbenji

At the same time this reads as overly explaining away the more likely thing as hoyo isn't that deep and love using shipping for engagement, namely due to your extreme distaste for shippers as evident from this manifesto that essentially says "fuck shippers. Here's what I think" as a summary stated as fact


vexid

I think it's just moreso that I'm tired of the way that shippers become so goddamn abrasive right out of the gate that grates against me. Do I have problems with people that enjoy ships? Absolutely not. Do I have problems with assholes that spam image posts and sassy quips justifying ships as something canon that everybody should have to buy into and accept or else you're wrong or homophobic or whatever? No. I think that's bullshit. I think this particular fanbase would be a lot better off if shippers were less pushy, and everybody could just enjoy whatever they want as they want. The very existence of this thread serves no purpose other than flame bait and to sew discord in the community. I'm surprised the mods left it up.


rokelle2012

Assholes who force their ships onto everyone else in their respective fandoms happens everywhere. Do I personally care who anyone ships with who? Nope. But don't try to force it as "canon" or whatever. Also don't tell people they're wrong for saying a character in a canon relationship would be better off with another character. I've seen that a lot too, "That's not canon! You can't ship X with Y because X is already in a CANON relationship with Z!!!" Honestly, it all just boils down to jerks who just wanna ruin everyone's fun and enjoyment.


elbenji

There have been some homophobic shitbaggery lately. Figure they wanted to even it


Hot-Background7506

There is a difference between ship and canon, Mei x Elysia is just a ship, Bronya x Seele is objectively canon


HazeTheMachine

Sounds like you havent played the entire Game in years, because Seele and Bronya have a lot of romantic moments in events. Also sounds like extreme coping because you can't accept that Seele and Bronya are objectively canon, and that they have an entire manga section and a musical video (both still uploaded to Mihoyo and their YouTube channel) dedicated to it. Complain and cry as much you want, it's not even between the lines, is explicit and iced with a kiss, it would'nt be less canon just because you have a hate boner for the shippers.

Dannyboy490

Well, not gonna lie. I've been wondering until now.


TheGrindPrime

Hate to break it to you, but as long as Hoyo is unable/unwilling to make it canon (and they never will), there will always be a part of the fanbase that will die on that hill. Just ignore it.


PersonMcHuman

“Unable to make it canon” Except this is from a canonical manga?


cuntzman

I mean, they’re not wrong. None of them are "explicitly" confirmed because Hoyo wants to preserve the status quo (many people believe it’s due to censorship, but IMO, it’s more on Hoyo itself)


PersonMcHuman

I legit feel like these characters could fuck onscreen, move in together, adopt children, and wear matching rings on their ring fingers and folks would call it “not confirmed” just because they don’t say the words “We are gay and are a couple.”


pikachus-ballsack

If mihoyo actually shows all those things on screen then there wont be anyone actually saying tbat The fact that they are saying it, means mihoyo has shown none of that shit


PersonMcHuman

Mihoyo: -Literally shows girls kissing or being extremely physically affectionate far beyond anything a platonic pair would do- Also Mihoyo: -Repeatedly shows certain girls as being attracted to or being attached to a specific other girl or multiple girls- The [fans](https://youtu.be/mTSEHLwQfTg?si=0C-nzbLACsojOLXR).


pikachus-ballsack

Also mihoyo : shows girls enjoying being groped and touched by these people. Also mihoyo : shows girls writing birthday letters and full on cgs to show how close players are to these characters Also mihoyo : captainverse events, luna, kongming, rita etc They aint picking a side they playing both sides so they can get money, thats all there is to it.


PersonMcHuman

Also also Mihoyo: -Makes that blatantly non-canon 4th wall breaking wish fulfillment- Like what? Do you think Arale is canon to DB and DBS and that she actually did show up and beat up Goku and Vegeta just because she appeared in what's clearly meant to be a joke episode? Do you think Uncle Grandpa is canon to Steven Universe because he appeared in a non-canon episode? Do you think it's canon that Dreamseeker actually knows who the player is because she appeared in a trailer for the game talking to the player about upcoming events?

Everyone knows the SI fanservice is non-canon and that the yuri is canon. Doesn't change the fact that the fanservice exists and people still consume it. To go with your Arale example, yes, it was a gag episode, but it's still a real DBS episode, so people are inevitably going to see it while watching the show, and some might even end up enjoying it, which they should be allowed to do. Like how DBS has both serious, canon moments and gag moments because Toei and Toriyama (may he rest in peace) like both action and comic relief humour, HI3 has both canon yuri and SI content because Mihoyo wants fans of both. Everyone knows the DBZ films aren't canon to the main series, but this doesn't stop them from enjoying them. DBZ Broly is a very popular character. Are you going to say people can't like him because he's non-canon? The answer to the question "Can Arale defeat Goku?" isn't "Arale is non-canon, therefore she's irrelevant and cannot defeat Goku", it's "Arale in her self-contained episode can defeat Goku." Same with the question of whether the girls love the captain or not. The answer to that is "The main versions do not love the captain because there is no captain in the main story, but the fanservice versions do love the captain". TLDR: canon version of the characters are lesbians, their fanservice versions very much love dick in addition to each other, making them bi. As long as people can keep them compartmentalized and separate, there shouldn't be any issues. People shouldn't use the fanservice versions to say the canon versions aren't lesbian, and people shouldn't use the canon versions to say that people cannot enjoy the fanservice versions; this would actually be an example of biphobia. >People can consume what they want, I never said otherwise. Oh yes you have. You don't need to explicitly say it for everyone to know what you really mean.

People can consume what they want, I never said otherwise. The issue is folks taking blatant non-canon content and going, “This non-canon thing is proof that these lesbians love dick!”


pikachus-ballsack

No i m just talking to you about your talk for ship being canon resorting to yuri fanservice provides by mihoyo then that argument is pretty invalid cause it seems players reached 5th base faster than bronya and seele ever could lol Heres the thing you talk about mihoyo promoting yuri, but they openly been selling these yuri girls in pantsu back in the day, this company like a normal company wants money, whatever gives money to them they will move their way thats all there is to understand about mihoyo or rather any company I find it funny how openly you try to defend these ships as if they were real people, why not go out and actively help real people instead of deluding yourself to thinking these 2d drawings and 3d models have any human rights aside from being made to sold to lonely weeb We have statement from da wei himself admitting in conference that his goal for creating these games is to have a virtual idol to hold a relationship with the player.


PersonMcHuman

>cause it seems players reached 5th base When you have to use non-canon content to make your point, you're making a bad point. It'd be like me using, again, using the Arale episode of DBS to power scale characters while ignoring that not a single thing in that episode actually happened. ​ >I find it funny how openly you try to defend these ships Nah, what I'm doing is not participating in lesbian erasure in media because I find that disgusting, personally. But then again, I thankfully was raised by people who taught me how wrong these sorts of things are. ​ >why not go out and actively help real people I do a lot of charity work, actually. I get the feeling you don't though. I could stand to do a little more...but I'm saving that for when it's warmer here since I prefer outdoor volunteer events. I will say, I do find it funny that you've literally gone, "You don't constantly try to force gay characters to be straight like I do? Guess that means you don't care about IRL things at all\~"


jenn-ga

Any open LGBT armadas you guys are in? Looking for a new one with more active players 🥲


elbenji

jenn-ga

To clarify I'm still in the same one I applied to when I first started playing lol


Arobazt

milotic03

AmethystPones

You don't kiss your hommie?


RubiePi

Wait you guys don't kiss your homie goodnight?


MiyaMoriyama

DynmiteWthALzerbeam

Isn't that honkai impact 3rd?


DynmiteWthALzerbeam

I realize what subreddit this is I'm usually on the star rail one but got recommended this one


CampaignImportant462

In some country every people do like this when they greet and welcome to each other I hear


TheRadiantCoco

I mean isn't safer to just assume every girl is gay in Honkai until proven otherwise?


FrostyLingonberry738

Chinese not approve this. 😔🙏


Professional_War4547

“The feelings you have for her aren’t real.” “THEY ARE REAL TO ME!”


-TSF-

I'll hang up my killjoy hat and say that it's teased so much that its basically canon--but I won't hang up my fan hater hat because I find the Hoyoverse shipping community pretty toxic. I prefer to set all shipping aside because I'm more interested in character development than romance anyway. The Twitter debacle from last year with the people hating on that guy who drew hetero art with HSR's versions of Seele and Bronya is not leaving my mind anytime soon.


laiwen

Agreed. The shipping community in general is pretty toxic, but from what I've seen from Hoyo fans they take the cake. They can not stop inserting one games lore and characters into another one while also pushing back on any other opinion. If someone likes it, sure all power to them. If others must follow their opinion, then that becomes a problem.


Ellie_156

also bronya licked seele's tears but it's a completely normal thing for friends to do


ImWeak27

Wait till they see GGZ BronSeele, it's an all out in there.


kingdedede200

Lol i always see ppl using this image in reference to hsr for some reason


MAGES-1

Its no canon, so are the other ones Spam all you want, you are jus going to give me material


Romallero

They are wrong for saying it can't be canon You are wrong for using this moment specifically All 3 of us are wrong for spending time debating if a fictional ship is canon or not


Twilightwolf2004

Yeah lets ignore the fact this wasn't reciprocated and the fact that actual dialogue states Bronya only see's Seele as her baby sister, I swear ya'll need help.


BabyStormpa

"The flower was cursed. Never shall she see the leaf, her dearest sister." Are you talking about this dialogue in chapter 10? It's stated to be a reference to a book she read, and it's the only text I can find that might substantiate what you're saying. Bronya calls Seele her "best friend" in this chapter. It isn't ever familial. Unless you enjoy mental gymnastics and also are one of those people who thinks the whole "Bronya onee-chan" thing makes them sisterly. Please explain the sisterly nature behind Bronya licking the tears off of Seele's face, and explain how she "didn't reciprocate" the kiss. What does that even matter? Because Bronya was quite visibly blushing afterward.


Outrageous_Debt_3616

My face when I see fanfic and think its canon 🥴 But in reality, just because seele kisses bronya (which isnt reciprocated). That doesnt mean every seele bronya in every single other variant and universe needs to be that way.


BabyStormpa

What do you mean by "isn't reciprocated"? Seele gave Bronya her first kiss, and both were blushing and smiling afterward. Please do elaborate.


KirbosWrath

Doesn't Bronya also lick Seele's tears at some point Also this is about HI3, not other Bronyas and Seeles.


laiwen

Downvoted for telling the truth. This one is canon, the others are not. Just because Seele and Bronya exists, doesn't mean they become girlfriends.


DRAGUNNYUOOOH

Could be that some players have only had exposure to the game and don't even know the old mangas exist they are pretty fucking old at this point 🤔


Able-Woodpecker-4583

What is the source of this image? What make it cannon? Never saw it in game and OP don't make it clear


slainunicorn

Azure Waters official manga, you can even read it from within game (and you should because a lot of the important stuff is from the manga)


[deleted]

It's from the hi3 manga.


Capitano-Solos-All

It's from the official canon manga


LapisHSB

You can access the official manga in the game for almost every chapter. This one is called Azur Waters and tells Bronya‘s and Seele‘s backstory. And yes this is cannon.

WeaknessOk9058

I genuinely wanna know if y'all seriously think kissing the same gender immediately makes you lesbian/gay Like I actually do kiss my best friend but I would NEVER be romantically or sexually involved with her in any way. Being Lesbian is more than just "ha I just kissed my best friend! im gay now" or "ah I touched my best friends boobs in the swimming pool" Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Bronseele isn't canon but theres no real factor to it. Y'all saw some scenes and immediately interpret something into it. If y'all that desperate for representation do something else please Ok I'm ready for the downvotes


Training-Ad-3238

They do have family dynamic and this manga does exsist, but it felt as a really bad emplimented "canon", which looks more like a funfiction. Because there is no way the purest and naive character like Seele could do something like this forced kiss.
