(okay but I feel the need to clarify one thing 🥹😭) I didn't even meant his rescue operation, I was thinking more about the fact that he created Mehrak just recently and in the meantime, he had various encountres with eremites so yeah, it was more like an argument directed at some, (not you specifically) fans claiming he's so weak and delicate, THUS feminine. Like, he can be feminine and strong, he can be feminine and weak, just the fact he is like this or this leaves enough room to interpretation for both sides and people really shouldn't fight over ficitional character in the game when basically all the men look like anime bishonens. That's it 🥺😥 But honestly you did touch on the important subject, which is coding in cn and gacha games and even if I personally don't recall chinese players claiming Kaveh fits the danmei trope I believe there's nothing wrong with theorizing and interpreting canon material alongisde with one's headcanons as long as we all stay in our own lane and don't start fights with each other, honestly this is really exhausting and ruins the enjoyement of being in the fandom

yeah, i don’t want to drag this anymore. i do also believe that the whole timeline is not 100% clear & we can only assume things here. we also do not know how the “encounters” with eremites looked like/were handled & it is as well hard to base it on such small source material. i prefer to stick to the idea that kaveh was so well-spoken that he knew how to handle this business through words only; perhaps his vision was some type of threat for them but he never used it. we never see him fighting without mehrak & of course, if it’s going to be shown in the canon, it’ll be nice to write something more to one’s list of his analysis. for now, it is a blank space for me & still is strongly emphasising his other strengths.

about the danmei, coding, etc—like i said, it doesn’t have to be seen by everyone. i heard people often talk about how many hyv ships have such “danmei trope” like blade/dan heng or even zhongli/tartaglia. i don’t think it’s a far of a reach to claim that it wouldn’t be similar with haikaveh. adding that, this type of coding was very popular in the past in other cultures too.

so! if everyone just ignored opinions they do not follow, everything would be better.
