People mad but tartali won't go away because archon x harginger is fire, different cultural exchange is fire, so is oldest + youngest, there's perspectives that are opposite but can complement each other which is why the ship is so good. All the things people use to praise other ships like complementary color palettes or a web event tartali also has, its just Genshin fandom has a goldfish memory.
Goldfish memory seems to be the case and then we also have many new ppl joining the game, who will not even know about these past web events and these other time limited events. But yup, we will keep creating and spreading love for our ship, if they like it or not, because WE love ttli and why should we care that other ppl don't? There are so many reasons why I adore this ship and it stands out for me and why it is loved by many others too. Reason why we have so many arts, comics, fics, events and more even after 3 years.
And yes, you would be naive to deny that the earlier ship influenced the newer ships, because hoyo isn't blind and knows what sells well, hence you are seeing some similarities between them. How did this became some kind of competition between the ships though, when you can just enjoy multiple ships and eat more food? And if you don't like a ship, then don't interact with their stuff, learn to mute/block. Nobody is forcing you to ship them, ship what makes YOU happy and respect each other.😔
