Maybe if you got rid of those yee yee ass bugs and glitches of yours will I consider switching to you. Nah, better yet ask your [censored] corpo to fully fix you [censored] before they even release you to the shelf.
No little girl, no matter how cute or tempting you are I'll only use you when you're mature enough to fill my daily needs. In fact, I still use Nanami for my daily browser and video player.
Couple things here in case anyone's interested. 1) These three + Kokomi are the only characters who haven't had a rerun in some form (regular/Chronicled Wish) in 323+ days (Kokomi's last banner was the second half of 3.8). 2) Shenhe's been gone longer than Star Rail's been online. Shenhebros and sisters, let's hope for a rerun during 5.x!
You have to understand, it's not her fault, she has the word affliction ever possible for a videogame character, a traumatic backstory.
Past trauma does not justify present evil. You can understand wickedness (and make no mistake, what Lt. Calhoun did to Felix was very wicked, very cruel). But one should never commend it or encourage it.
Could someone who's seen the movie recently enough to remember remind us what Calhoun did to Felix that was so "wicked" and clearly deserving of holding a grudge? I don't remember her doing anything that bad, and Felix clearly didn't hold whatever it was against her.
Considering who these comments belong to, I'm ready to just assume whatever he's talking about is bullshit, but I'd be interested in having more context.

It sounds like they're talking about when Felix called her a "dynamite gal," which set off a PTSD flashback of her fiancée (who also often called her a "dynamite gal") being eaten by a Cy-Bug on their wedding day because she didn't do a perimeter check. This flashback is shown immediately after Felix accidently sets her off, so we know why she suddenly tells him to leave as it happens. Felix didn't deserve that, but calling Calhoun's reaction abusive, let alone evil, is a huge stretch.
And for all we know, she may have apologized offscreen.

It's possible I need to see the movie again but, I remember her leaving him out in the middle of nowhere, where he very likely could've have been devoured by those bugs running loose. Or died of starvation and thirst or simply gotten lost forever in the system, never to be seen or heard from again.
I would've understood had she angrily told him, "Don't ever call me that! I know you don't mean anything by it, but I can't stand it! Don’t push me on this!"
And if Felix had stubbornly, relentlessly pressed the issue, well, then his punishment would have been far more justified. Disproportionate, yes but, it would have been more his fault because he refused to heed her warning.
But, she didn't even give him the courtesy of a warning, not even a warning delivered with gritted teeth. Instead, she ejected him from her vehicle with unrighteous fury and deserted him, like a little kid being dumped in the most dangerous part of town, where all the psychopaths and murderers dwell.
And all for what? A freaking compliment delivered with the utmost adoration and love? Ohhh yeah, what a sweetheart. I hope I marry a lady like this one someday.

"And for all we know, she may have apologized offscreen."
And what was so disgusting about her apology it needed to be censored and handled offscreen?
"I'm so sorry for what I did to you back there, Felix. You were just being your sweet, adorable self and I treated you so horribly. I can't believe I was so mean to you, you could've been killed out there, please forgive me."
This is what Pixar was trying to protect their child audience from? What the ever-loving eff!
