> the story clearly intends to dehumanize the Borisin

Does it? I didn't get that sense. I mean, the depiction of Hoolay vs Mutok(?) are pretty different. And in the wardance event we also get to see the pacific Claretwheel Temple faction. I don't think they're *trying* to dehumanize, even if it maybe ends up being that way...

> Writers can't separate writer knowledge from character knowledge.

Yes.

> Jiaoqiu is a horrible doctor

Probably why his class is nihility rather than abundance and he's missing any healing from his kit. >.>

LOL, more seriously, yeah, I was feeling uncomfortable about him since the last patch, when in one of the if-endings of March's training event, he had Moze spike her opponents with laxative to win her the match. Most people liked it and found the scene funny (because Skott is great comedic relief character). And there were jokes about March going dark side. But when you think of it, it was actually Jiaoqiu who acted against medical ethics to do that, but everyone just glossed over him. (He was too much of an NPC at the time -_-)

> it's always domestic policy fuck ups that cause disunity

Could MHY be trying to avoid accusations of depicting domestic disunity in Space!China?

> The story is a classic case of "written by engineers".

Hey, the engineers do not accept this charge, because the devs/coders don't do the writing. Let the blame fall where it should. MHY just hired shitty writers, and also their policy put story consistency at too low of a priority.

> I swear Jing Yuan showed more depth than everyone else in this story

How much of that is the VA's contribution?
