Crackpot theories about genshin's plot being rewritten is nothing new, but in the minds of many giggers, the fact that Fontaine's Archon quest was rewritten to shill Neuvilette over Furina was clear as day. Many instances of "foreshadowing" being "contradicted" were used as ammunition to strengthen their arguments, which also made them sound like schizophrenic rants, peak /gig/.
 
We may never know if the plot was really changed, but for /gig/, Furina will be forever a victm of rewrites.

|style="background:#FFFFFF;" align="center"|Mihoyo has a history of niggardly behavior stretching back almost since launch.

She has not been available for almost 2 years (most characters get rerun at least once a year) and it's not clear if miHoYo remembers she exists.

Depending on who you ask, this was either Mihoyo trying a novel approach to gacha anniversaries where you don't tell anybody what to expect until they conclude you have nothing in store and then surprise them with pretty middling prizes, or Mihoyo had seriously planned to hand out nothing and sell the anniversary collection but then gave it away for free to settle people down.

CEO of GEO

Geo is sort of a fifth-wheel element and at launch, it wasn't great. Hopes for an all-Geo synergy team rode heavily on the back-to-back releases of Zhongli and Albedo. However, Zhongli on launch was one of the worst units in the game. True believers told people to buy the dip, and ultimately it actually kind of paid off; Zhongli was buffed after his banner into a ridiculously tanky shielder who at the time trivialised most of the game overnight. He's still finding his way into flex-slots after the release of Dendro and he's a staple of mono-Geo teams - a worthy end for the once God-Emperor of the great nation of China Liyue.

MORAX!

Azhdaha is a boss in the game with a bitter eternal rivalry with Zhongli.
After getting beaten in story, he decided to challenge the CEO for the dubious title of /gig/'s starting keeper.
In his own words: "It's time, Morax... We settle this now!"
Gig benny.png >b Bennett is a low-investment meta-defining unit with a powerful attack buff. Also, perhaps more importantly, he is male. As a result, it has become commonplace in /gig/ to voice distaste for his presence in webms of clear times or big damage numbers. Over time this evolved into just replying to his presence in a team with ">b".
Gig yae.png EEEQEEE Yae Miko was one of the more popular characters of the Inazuma chapter of the story. Disappointingly, her playable version has a clunky playstyle of placing 3 turrets with E, destroying those turrets to power up her Q, and then placing the turrets again because hitting Q refreshes their cooldown.
Gig furina.png Rewritten Plot With the release of 4.2's Archon Quest and Furina's apparent downgrade from archon to normal person, /gig/'s finest minds went into work to rationalize this unacceptable development.

Crackpot theories about genshin's plot being rewritten is nothing new, but in the minds of many giggers, the fact that Fontaine's Archon quest was rewritten to shill Neuvilette over Furina was clear as day. Many instances of "foreshadowing" being "contradicted" were used as ammunition to strengthen their arguments, which also made them sound like schizophrenic rants, peak /gig/.

We may never know if the plot was really changed, but for /gig/, Furina will be forever a victm of rewrites.

Gig kokomi.png Hi /gig/! Hi, /gig/!
Gig ayaka2.png Now post her in game model Ayaka is considered by /gig/ to have one of the least flattering 3d models in genshin.

This doesn't stop her fans from posting off-model fanart on /gig/, though.

Gig yucka.png >yucka Ayaka is considered by most of /gig/ as the ugliest girl in the game.
In a event to shill her new skin (which didn't actually make her any prettier), an NPC had this awkward expression after seeing her new look.
His face conveyed everyone's emotions perfectly.
Gig loom.png Coom in Loom The female player character, Lumine, gets a lot of mileage in Genshin porn. It's certainly one of the most economical choices of waifu you could make.
Gig eula.png Euler Eula is a character who was seemingly pulled out of miHoYo's ass for all she had to do with the plot. One of the enduring shitposts about her is that she is autistic, because of a fake early leak where someone plugged her theme of sea spray/spindrift into a Latin translator and determined her constellation would be "Aspergo".

She has not been available for almost 2 years (most characters get rerun at least once a year) and it's not clear if miHoYo remembers she exists.

UPDATE: We did it, Eulerbros!

Gig ganyu2.png Roll For Who You Like One of the enduring legacies of /gig/'s awful track record of guessing prospectively which characters will be strong (such as >cryo Amber) is a rather simple ritualpost: Just roll for who you like.
Gig arle.png Do nothing, win After being hyped up as a villain for literal years, Arlechinno's inaction during Fontaine's story made a lot of people frustrated.

She literally dindu nuffin and the Fatui were the good guys all along. Get over it, gwelio.

Gig nilou.png I'M BLOOOOOOOOOOOMING When you hit enemies with Dendro and Hydro energy (read: plants and water) it causes something called Bloom which spawns a little bomb that pops after a couple seconds for a chunk of damage. Nilou is a Hydro character with the passive ability to make Blooms explode immediately for a shitzillion damage. Consequently, she is both extremely strong in the meta and bordering on braindead to play.
