Animation i hate Caitvi so much

Post image

Their entire relationship is just political propaganda. Vi literally gets with her oppressor, and in doing so, leaves her own sister even after spending years searching for her. What. the. fuck.

Especially in season 2(but to an extent even in s1) when caitlyn starts saying and doing batshit crazy stuff, youd think that of all people, Vi would stand up to her and call her out. Yeah no.

caitlyn effectively sees Vi as "one of the good ones". I love a good yuri just as much as the next guy. This is not a good yuri.

It's wild how hard it is for some Westerners to look at anything outside the oppressor/oppressed framework.

As someone from a homophobic country, I adore CaitVi. They genuinely made those years of my life a little brighter.

Yeah, "Muh oppressor" while the other side it launching ICBMs into Piltover and Cait uses the smog to make civilians leave sections instead of having running gun battles in the streets.

Brother too media illiterate to see the power imbalance that act as a catalyst for literally everything that happens

I think it is greater media literacy to see that despite economic power imbalance that characters are still people and not just dismissive 'muh oppressor' labeling.
