Its funny how nobody on hoyo x community mentioned "stop playing the game" cuz playing the game still counts as contributions for the company, the boycott wont even work even if your F2P

[zaboono]

I think they'd have a heart attack if they learned about the fate series

[louielam]

Ngl sumeru already showed that hoyo doesn't really care cuz its gonna sell well anyways

Edit: Looking at all of these 'boycotts' just further proves that both hoyo and the majority of the fanbase really don't care. The 3 pull drama was way larger than this and sales have barely been affected after that. As long as they make money they won't change anything.

To be honest, genshin being boycotted by everyone happens very often because it's not the first time it happens, which makes me think why do people try so hard?, because with hoyo, they will rarely pay attention to it

[bestsqued]

I think I get it now, when genshin said natlan was the nation of war, they meant the community would bring the war part, that’s why natlan looks so peaceful, they read us like a book years prior

[Dapper_Blahaj]

Im like sure this is gonna just blow over

[gokul-jswd]

This is the 100th time genshin is getting boycotted and at this point people should know that whatever boycotting happens genshin will never change

[patrick]

If boycotting it would change genshin, it wouldn’t have happened 100 times now

Only thing German about Mondstadt is it’s name. It’s more general european.

Mihoyo's CEO has survived an assassination attempt do these people think that he's afraid of Twitter?

[Blablabla]

I think it wont change anything since most people are casual and dont know about what is based on what or dont care about it and pull for they want, and also people usually give up on the boycott like they did with sumeru

[sugarcoatit]

Ok but like as someone who is of African American descent (half) I will say some people are definitely really pale for the region they are in. But at the same time I don’t really care. I think they did a good job at representing the look, and the skin tone just didn’t really follow. It’s just kind of stupid to hate on genshin for something they’ve not done so many times. Like ok, people have good reason not to be happy with the characters completion, but like really? In my opinion the characters look great as is, and the region looks like a good time, that’s all that matters to me.

[IfUSeekAndy]

Honestly this boycott is gonna go nowhere lol Hoyo ain’t gonna give two 💩’s

[LUCK_K]

Ngl I'm from south Africa and I'm an artist
I don't mind
I love the characters

[LinkWarhammerK]

In Japanese and China people love the characters and look at the global trailer it has 322k vs 17k and on Twitter Japan all the characters pass the 100K do you think 56k signatures in twitter against 70 million players will make any difference? They have already marketed the characters and their official designs. Also, seeing the atmosphere of Natlan, it is similar to Latin America in the 2000s, where reggaeton and urbanity were popular, graffiti, tight clothing, pixels as mascots, you know that games like KOF 2002 were popular in Mexico. and colombia and argentina, peru Look at the music videos of Daddy Yankee or the Pitbull and Shakira and you will know what aesthetic Natlan's characters are inspired by.

The hypocrisy of those voice actors, guess they don’t know Anime is a thing huh

[princekiro]

Only Chasca and Citlali are mostly white. The rest of them are a light shade of tan. And mind you, the actual shade of white in Genshin are the gosh damn pale skin tone we commonly see throughout the game.

[graceharvieux]

While I absolutely understand and even agree that Genshin could stand to have more diversity, I think a lot of people don't fully understand just how much influence and interest the Chinese gov has in how at least the playable characters are portrayed. Mainly because of how global Genshin is. It's not nearly as simple as saying "just make them more diverse" like it would be in the west where the gov doesn't have such influence in video game development.

[littlechild.]

To be honest, I don't really care about this argument. I'm not gonna stop playing the game because of this.
I'm just disappointed by the lacking variety in the character roster. I want different, cool looking characters as much as normal(in genshin's case: white), cool looking characters.

[troymanansala]

While I love Genshin Impact, I'm still incredibly baffled why some of my fellow players would make such a big deal out of something as little as the skin color of a character.
