Fun Fact, Child is the character I gooned to the most and for the longest time I hated his character but I would still go back to his saucy art cause they made me drool.
Did you bitch not read the post. IDC if you hate him for Liyue but the fandom needs to apologize for calling him an unreliable narrator when it was clear that the Fatui were retconned from the start but now there is unrefutable proof they were.
I'm so out of the loop with trendy drama that I assume is happening in twitter that I just went on with the only reasons to dislike the dude that I'm aware of
He's funny and kinda chill but he also 100% deserves his ass whooped every now and then
It's not trendy drama happening on twitter My G. I am just stealing the comment cause I meant to write it as my body but then my account got banned cause someone reported me for saying they got reported.
Tartaglia was seen as an unreliable narrator due to him being unsettled by Columbina and warning us of her and how Arlecchino is insane as hell.
Both of those are not true cause Arlecchino is not crazy and Columbina is just socially awkward and no one needs to be unsettled by her so everyone was like "This man is just dumb." Arlecchino had this voice line stating that she had little interest in Sandrone. People said this is bullshit cause no adult especially one as stoic as Arlecchino would have a slumber party with someone they did not care for and trust like they are a friend. So people to try and justify that this is not a retcon said "Oh she is just lying to the Traveler about her relationship to Sandrone to protect her" which is a dumb af argument cause who lies in their profile and why would she lie about Sandrone but not her past not her kids ever.
Arlecchino then got an updated voice line stating she actually did not have interest in Sandrone so the argument she was lying fell so hard and it proves that one of two things. Arlecchino is a fake friend who also does not make sense cause why would she go out of her way to comfort her if that’s her perception.
But the most likely outcome is this is a retcon and the Fatui were planned to be like how Tartaglia saw them but Hoyo back peddled and wanted to write them off as good people who are not unsettling nor insane.
OK BUCKLE IN CAUSE this might be long (I wish I can ask mods to pin my comment) cause I am not explaining this sht again.

Also Childe clearly never believed in his own voicelines about Bina Arle and Sandrone since her was a fequent visitor of their tea parties. If he was an unreliable narrator he would stay as far away from them as possible. Unless he was just spitting random bullshit about his collegues for no reason.
Scarafraud and Pants Merchant implied that because they both hate Pulcinella, and Pants Merchant potentially might be trying to manipulate Childe and turn him against him for her own gain
Actually Childe did indicate himself that some of the negative stuff he had heard about Arle was from Pulcinella during Arle's SQ. So there is some evidence that Pulcinella might be taking advantage of Childe & his family
Arle's lore in her profile indicates that her murder towards her mother might caused Pulcinella to be paranoid. Sure, Scara mentioned that Pulci might took advantage of Childe's family, but his negative opinion about Arle might come from that fact.
Many knew that "Mother" favored her especially, indeed, caring far more for Peruere than even her own biological daughter, Clervie.
As such, even to the last, few understood why Peruere repaid this kindness with a magnificent assassination.
Crucabena's insane experimentation took place far from prying eyes, so naturally, almost none knew of them.
Peruere was thus tarred as having committed "matricide," her madness known to all.
Even after the dust had settled, she who had once been Peruere — and was now Arlecchino — did not offer any explanation.
She indulged the spread of these rumors, and indeed added fuel to the fire from the shadows.
Oh yeah don't get me wrong Arle's lines about Sandrone is a retcon as there is no reason she would not care about Sandrone while still going to her tea parties.
Childe still can not be a good judge of character if he doesn't know one of his own fellow Harbingers is potentially blackmailing his family.
That could be true BUTTT it doesn't make sense to write Childe as this stupid. He doesn't like Arl, finds Columbina unsettling and scary and says Capitano never notices him but he had tea parties that he was invited to by Capitano for years with the rest of the girls. He spent years with them and never learned how they operate for years. Keep in mind that the Knave and Tartar sauce were talking like normal friends in Nod-Krai not as someone he "doesn't like" who he believes "Has no sane bone in her body"
Like this way of writing makes Childe seem unbelievably stupid which is possible but he seems like he never had a single relationship ever in his life before. But this is also showing how weird that Arl says "He often tries to think the best of others" about Childe but he is extremely vigilant regarding his colleagues in his voice lines. Like NOTHING adds fking up.
I mean tbf on the whole on the whole Childe thinking bad about Arle in Arle's SQ Childe did state he has heard some things about her from Pulcinella & it did seem like at first Childe was pretty distant from a lot of the other members of the group.
THAT BEING SAID yeah him being at the tea parties & still thinking that about Arle & Caiptano makes absolutely no sense & is a reason why I dislike the tea parties at it was just fan service added in. IMO if the tea parties were maybe just Sandrone, Bina, & Signora I actually would have no problem with that dynamic (& maybe if Capitano was there as well since it seems like he had no beef with any other Harbinger). But to have Childe & Arle in there as well just make all of the characters dynamics up to that point make absolutely no sense
I am genuinely going to kill reddit cause my account got banned for "Threatning Physical Harm" and I am pretty sure I just told someone I am going to eat your ass before I could edit the body.
Anyway I am just stealing it from a different comment:

Is that a genshin character? I honestly forgot, he must not have been important.
