After waiting almost two years, Genshin Impact fan community goes private after their favorite character is confirmed dead

Genshin Impact's big Fatui Harbinger reveal was built around the funeral of Signora, one of the story's first main villains, and her dedicated Reddit community has now gone private following a flood of memes dunking on the officially deceased character. 

*Genshin Impact story spoilers ahead* 

There are two important bits of backstory here. Firstly, Signora has been around since Genshin Impact's initial story arc began nearly two years ago. She snatched Venti's Gnosis in the opening section of the game and has been a regular villain ever since. Signora was also a major player in the events of Inazuma, Genshin's newest major region, but ultimately met her end at the hands of the electro archon Raiden.

Another Fatui Harbinger, Tartaglia (or Childe), is playable after all, so the idea wasn't too far-fetched. Of course, this community was built before Raiden turned Signora into ash – or less than ash, even, leaving literally no trace of the Harbinger behind.

Optimistic Signora mains have been the butt of countless jokes ever since Raiden fried the character to nothingness, but this funeral really opened the floodgates. The Signora Mains subreddit has been set to private, perhaps to stem the tide of memes but also potentially
