- They claim to boycott the game
- Keep playing Hoyo games
- Boycott doesn't work
- They keep complaining

Biggest clowns on the internet

[Nexidal]

"My employer is racist and you should boycott them." - VA
"You're fired." - Employer
"Why? What'd I do?" - Unemployed VA

As a Chinese person quite familiar to the Chinese community and Chinese culture, allow me to reenact how Hoyoverse reacted to the boycott:
Employee: Boss! Boss! The Western fanbase is boycotting us!
Boss: What?
Employee: They are saying we are appropriating their culture and say they won't play our games anymore!
Boss: So?
Employee: Sir?
Boss: Are they still playing our games?
Employee: uhhhh yes?
Boss: Are they still paying money to pull for characters?
Employee: **checks** yes sir
Boss: So whats the problem?
Employee: ....They don't like us sir
Boss: Get back to work

the end

I´m asian, or better say chinese, so this might be a cultural thing, but to me, lots of english workers profiting from mihoyo, mostly VAs and some CCs, looks so arrogant and ungrateful.
Mihoyo single handly changed the entire gacha game sector, with insane money flows insane payment towards third-party, giving out lots of exposure and profit for others, even leakers earning (I prefer call it stealing) 5 figures monthly.
How can they be so pretentious while taking money and make fame with mihoyo? If you want to be a saint, better act like one.

By still playing the games, their argument of boycotting the games becomes null and void

1 . They don’t know what the word boycott means. 2. English VA’s think their opinion means more than it does. It’s annoying

[tinyknott]

"I'm a good person" - has done nothing but insult people based on politics or immutable characteristics.

[LUISA_CONLEY]

It's funny how she acted that way and also voiced one of the most innocent character in the game. You really won't know anything about a person that easily.

Valeria "I use my platform for kindness, by spreading hate". Readers "How does that make sense?".

[ncp]

As a Japanese I gotta say this kind of unprofessional behavior is the reason why English VA always leaves a bad impression. And I know it’s few bad apples of all drag their reputation. Poor voice actors who are sincere and professional.

Incredibly funny
Genshin 5.0 livestream featured a part where they showcased the music for the new region, not only in a native language, but it was also sung and performed by mostly dark-skinned people.
Yet these people just care but in-game character's skins

"Those who parade their virtues often do the most evil. We are not like them" - Arlecchino

[drawingsoul]

that VA blacklisted herself not just from hoyoverse projects but also any other projects from all studios since no studio would want to work with a VA who is so unprofessional

5:25 Lady, just because you're easier than a lightswitch, it doesn't mean that you're pretty.

“Courtney didn’t deserve this”
Politics aside, if one of your employees was talking crap about you, you’d probably show them the door too.

[kamo]

"I used my platform for kindness"
the tweets before: the most unkind stuff you could say

[Doppier]

Elon Musk bad, Hoyoverse bad, she tweets on X after a day's work at Hoyoverse. You can't make this sht up.

[khadelsnerdo]

Imagining boycotting your job then crying you got fired for said boycotting

[Michylawhty]

The hilarious thing is, Natlan's Special Program was released and literally half of the characters we see have significantly darker skin. Not to mention the LEAD SINGER who does the vocals in the music for this region is black, and the orchestra had a lot of black people overall. But no, these people care about fictional melanin more.

Imagine claiming "cultural appropriation" about a _fictional nation_ in a _fictional world._ 🤦
