People are like "Ew that's a child you sickos!" but like, bruh - Look at that thing. There is nothing human about those proportions. This isn't a human child. It's some kind of hideous changeling, a humanoid abomination from beyond the stars sent to infiltrate our world, subvert our governments, and presumably steal all our brains to be put in jars for further study. The fact that it doesn't reflexively trigger the uncanny valley response is horrific in and of itself. It's already overcome our instinctual defense against infiltration. It's already in our homes and the halls of government. It's already won.

(I know the lizard people from space control our government thing is a white supremacist dog whistle for Jewish people. I actually spent a lot of time thinking about whether or not to post this because the whole genre of "Alien infiltrators" stories is so tied up in white supremacy, anti-communism, anti-immigration, racism, and so forth. But, eh. Dumb jokes about Genshin probably aren't harmful? But feel free to call me out if you think I should take it down or that there's aspects I'm missing.)

    I don't trust paimon at all

    Why do the Tanuki call her "spymon"?

    Why does she dodge every question about her identity or origin?

    Why does her outfit have the aesthetics of Celestia?

    Why did Dottore's "knock out anyone who isn't a god" device cause her to fall to the ground, when normally she is depicted as sleeping while floating?

    Mark my words, Paimon is a Guoba-fied Sustainer of Heavenly Principles :pepe-silvia:
