why am i seeing jc anti and jgy anti in my feed.
so far the most ridiculous take is jin ling being abused by jc. this is some white ppl shit.
as an asian, a-ling has vv lenient and affectionate parental figures. wdym his jiujiu let him cry? wdym his xiao shushu gave him a dog when he was upset?
having someone you are comfy crying in front w, especially a family member, means that yall are close and you don't feel judged.
#jin ling#jiang cheng#jin guangyao#I didn’t want to say it#but as a non white yeah it feels very white

Since I'm being jumped by JC antis for pointing out their double standards, let’s dissect the debts owed by Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian, shall we?
Wei Wuxian's Debt to the Jiang Clan:
Wei Wuxian’s debt to the Jiang Clan is immense by ancient Chinese standards. He was saved, taken in, raised, and trained by them, essentially given a new life and a future as a cultivator. In traditional chinese culture, this kind of debt would require a lifetime of loyalty and service to repay. However, Wei Wuxian chose to protect the Wen Remnants, a decision driven by his personal moral beliefs and sense of justice, effectively putting his principles over his obligations to the Jiang Clan. This choice made it impossible for him to repay his debt in the way ancient values would have dictated, as he directly went against Jiang Cheng's leadership and the interests of the Jiang Clan.
Jiang Cheng's Debt to the Wen Siblings:
Jiang Cheng’s debt to Wen Qing and Wen Ning is also significant—they saved his life and ensured his parents' bodies were returned with dignity. The expected repayment from him would traditionally involve some form of reciprocal protection or aid, such as offering them sanctuary, advocating for their safety, or using his influence to speak on their behalf. However, as the new leader of the Jiang Clan struggling to rebuild after the Sunshot Campaign, his first duty was to his own clan's survival. Repaying this personal debt to the Wen siblings would have required protecting the Wen Remnants, which would have risked his clan's stability and political standing. In the end, his obligations as a sect leader took priority.
The Double Standard:
So here’s the issue, antis love to criticize Jiang Cheng for not sacrificing everything to repay the Wen siblings, judging him by the standard of traditional cultural values. But when it comes to Wei Wuxian, they switch to a modern standard claiming "children aren’t expected to repay their caretakers," to dismiss his debt to the Jiang Clan. If we’re judging both characters by the same standard of "repaying debts," the fact is, both made choices based on their circumstances. Jiang Cheng prioritized his clan's survival, and Wei Wuxian chose his moral beliefs. To condemn one while excusing the other is just hypocritical.

someone needs to make an exhaustive count of how often Jiang Cheng rolls his eyes because man is sassy as hell
what makes this better is that the actor didn't even realize he rolled his eyes that often because it was just a "reflex"

Hot Takes that prove you've completely failed to engage with the worldbuilding and themes of the original work on basically all levels:
"jc didn't support wwx + the wen remnants because he only cared about his reputation. wwx cares about morals; jc only cares about his image"
"the jiang sect's position was actually super strong after the sunshot campaign"

This gem was in the tags. I’m just… what? I want to believe you hallucinated this, but it honestly feels like something they would say!
jiang cheng enjoyers what is your favourite ""canon jiang cheng"" fact/opinion that you've seen on here?

I’m going to start blocking people for bad JGY takes too because if they can say things like JGY raped the prostitutes, I’m sure they have even more annoying JC takes.

Fandom Problem #6339:
The trend that fanartists have to list every way they're a minority or vocal parts of the fandom will attack them for being white/cis/straight/etc. Especially when artists offer commissions or link their KoFi: I've lost count of the number of times I've seen posts starting "I'm a queer/non-white/disabled/neurodivergent artist in ___ fandom". And my first thought when I see those posts is "Okay, but why do you feel you have to list all of that?"
I'm an artist. I'm ace and aro, a woman, biracial, autistic, mentally ill, and suffer from chronic pain. But I don't feel comfortable letting strangers know so much about me and none of it has anything to do with my art. I don't want people to look at my art because I'm those things, I want to know my work became popular because people like it.
I don't put anything in my bio except my first name, age and main fandoms, and I get nosy anons asking about my race, sexuality and gender. None of that has anything to do with my movie and anime fanart. None of it's anyone else's business.

Ok, but listen.
Jiang Cheng, in nothing but his inner robes, gunning it barefoot down the walkaways of Lotus Pier, because his beloved nephew (age four) decided to escape his bed and climb into an unsecured boat that is now being pushed by wind into the lake, much to Jin Ling's wailing dismay.
JC didn't even think to use Sandu, just launched himself full-tilt from the end of the pier with sheer physical brass of knowing he can eat that twenty metres...
A few minutes later, he was rowing the boat back with one arm, the other full of a wailing nephew, adrenaline finally settling down.

I just want to say I find it odd that OP is complaining about a male character in a SHOUNEN being more popular than a female one. Because it's a shounen, the viewers are supposed to concentrate on the male characters, because it's a genre targeted at young men and teenager boys and thus concentrates by design on the male characters.
It's the same type of complaint that I have seen so many times about shounen and even BL having more male characters than female ones. When that is kinda the point of these genres.
Posting as a response to a previous problem.

CAN'T BELIEVE A MAGAZINE HAD TO ISSUE A FORMAL APOLOGY FOR PUTTING JIANG CHENG AND WEI WUXIAN TOGETHER AND SPARKING SCANDALOUS RUMOURS. IT'S NOT EVEN THE FIRST TIME. THERE ARE NOW MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THIS. JIANG CHENG BIRTHDAY BASH ALWAYS DELIVERS.
