It's a free-to-play mobile gacha game. Therefore, it is trash. That point simply cannot be argued. It's not up for debate. If you're here to debate that point, please don't even bother. All mobile games are trash. All free-to-play games are trash. All gacha games are trash. Again: there is no debate about that.

Having gotten that out of the way: why are so many people under the false impression that this SPECIFIC trash game is somehow more than trash?

Does it have particularly sexy anime girls? Particularly sexy anime prettyboys? Cool mechs or something? Does it very sadly contain core elements of gameplay that would be fun in a non-trash setting?

Help me out, here.

Its like Genshin. It has a very specific audience (weebs). It just happens to be a niche that is very active online. Most people who that doesn't appeal too just don't think about it rather than posting about something they dislike.

Its ok to let people like the things they enjoy

Not when those things are destructive and unethical.

You a big fan of slavery, too? It's alright with you if people like kidnapping and forced labor? That's fine?

No. Ethics exist. Gacha games are not acceptable, from a moral and ethical standpoint. If you like that shit, you're not okay.
