So, we all agree that they're doing this on purpose, right?

With the leaks showing Anaxa's damage number being that piss colored yellow, his addition would make him the 8th imaginary male character.

What I get from that is that Mihoyo will just dump any coming male character in the Imaginary pit because making a meta or good support male character would force the playerbase of male weirdos to gasp play with a male character instead of their waifu!

It's easier to just dump most males into the same tier, so husbando collectors (people who give them money, but not as much money as the waifu collectors ig) can pick them up from the piss zone.

Considering the fact that Genshin started with a decent ratio of male / female, yet with each new zone would release 1 or 2 males compared to the mostly female cast, it wouldn't surprise me if Star Rail also goes that way. Because they can use the "well, our piss males aren't selling well!" excuse more easily.

Maybe I'm talking out of my ass and next year we visit the planet Cockitus full of naked, oiled up male characters. But if you look at the fact that we have 3 - maybe 4 confirmed male characters for Amphoreus, and two of them happen to be of the same element, right after the last Penacony male character was also Imaginary, I think there's something going on.
