of course they're going to say that shit. it's typical malleable protagonist pr from companies who don't want to give definitive answers that could make the neckbeards who wanna fuck the npcs angry.

it's the same reason people will ride-or-die insist the girl mc in genshin is just as canon as the male mc, despite her never appearing in any official game or character trailers as the protag, because someone asked the devs and was given a vague non-answer to make everyone happy.

i'm gonna say that, as someone who plays genshin but is not completely up the fandom's ass, the femc being "not canon" is not obvious at all and i wonder if any app mod has rejected one on those grounds

it's definitely not obvious when she gets just as much merch as the male mc

The issue with Genshin specifically is that the twin you don't pick as your MC still exists in canon as a character. Whatever twin isn't the Traveler is the Abyss Prince/Princess. IIRC the canon timeline has a male Traveler and a female Abyss Princess.

Compare that to, say, Honkai Star Rail, where whichever Trailblazer you didn't pick just doesn't exist in the game.

that said in HSR they switch up which protagonists is in the new trailers so both get plenty of airtime.

but the option to play as her is still a part of the game, so i think that’s canon enough for rp purposes. it’s like any other game with branching paths, just because route A is treated as the correct path by official material doesn’t mean you can’t app from route B.
