The Toxic World of Genshin Impact

_____________________________________________

We'll dive into the toxic world of Genshin Impact and the toxicity of its community. We'll look into a dad's $20,000 bill from his daughter's in-game purchases. Then into the chaos caused by game promotions with KFC and Pizza Hut, leading to dangerous situation. The game also faced backlash for treating streamers unfairly. More worryingly, voice actors face harassment from the community, leading to genuine threats. We'll uncover some concerning actions by 'Genshin Impact's' parent company towards its players, as well as the disturbing lengths to which some players go. Welcome to the toxic world of Genshin Impact and its community.

I think the problem is not "fandoms" or genshin, but the state of the matter of the culture as a whole.

[tree]

imagine the cops having to shut down multiple restaurants wondering wtf a genshin impact is

[fencerderio]

As a Genshin player, I can tell you people in advance that this video will probably only scratch the surface of the bullshittery that is the Genshin fandom.

[Karma_]

He didn't talk about the Lyney incident in Korea or the Chinese New Year rewards in 2024 😭✋️
I like the game because of the lore and the story, but the community is CRAZY

[tmless]

Unfortunately a lot of the hate towards the community (twitter) tends to get normal players caught in the crossfire hope this video might clear somethings like that up

[mubrek]

Not just Genshin but pretty much anywhere in life, my quote stands strong:
"The more people there are in an area, the more often you'll run into abhorrent people."

[AstraLuna-oi]

If you like something, you don’t have to participate in its fandom. You don’t need other people to validate your feelings about said thing you like. Every fandom has toxic fans. Don’t let the toxic fans have adjacency over your feelings. You are literally just wasting time and energy worrying about what other people say or do.

[WhoTaoWasHere]

As a genshin player who also likes some of the VAs, harrasing them just for doing their harmless job is WILD wth

[soullesscadmium]

Fandom can be wonderful and beautiful if you can find the right people. Unfortunately with big fandoms, it is very easy for terrible communities to grow.

[SummerR-gili]

I went to a con and saw a q and a with one of the voice actors for genshin.Some of the people asked him deeply personal questions that clearly made him uncomfortable, and you could tell he was not having it. I feel awful for this guy, he seemed to be in a hard place with whether or not to engage with his fans.

edit: it was zach aguliar
Edit #2: tf am I getting so many likes

[roselita]

As a genshin player, I tend to avoid the fandom as much as I can. It's insane what kinda shit goes down 💀
When an important figure died in China and a livestream was postponed, so many people were so upset and said they deserve compensation💀 like be fkin forreal, get a grip on reality. And that alone doesn't even cover how out of touch most people in this fandom are

[rajanicn]

Playing games is fun, But things go wrong once you are not able to differentiate between a game and reality.

[digojez]

The larger and more dedicated the fandom is, the more questionable the dark side becomes.

[darkwarrior]

People going to KFC and stealing the cardboard Genshin characters and selling them online is actually pretty funny.

[hawyadoin]

If you ever feel down, just remember people camped out in front of fast food chains for some digital wings

[STLLR]

this NEEDS to be updated considering everything from december to jan/feb 😭

[Braxophone]

4:50 I remember the Wings of Feasting event, myself and many other streamers turned down the offer due to some of the stipulations of the event (contract stuff) being absolutely insane. Hoyoverse has been learning over the years how to improve community events and I think they've done a better job as of late, but that first one was pretty rough. I really hope they just fund collabs more (more merch, less people doing crazy things at events to get said merch) and bring them worldwide in the future.

The Kaveh "glitch" was done by turning object into a bloom seed which Kaveh can make instantly explode meaning that Nilou could also do it but Kaveh was more accessible and probably because it's ironic cause in lore he is an architect.

[andreamanuel]

As a Genshin player, I am extremely angry with the fandom. I hate it. Just play the game and don’t make it weird

[chillybunz]

Online gaming and online culture in general so insanely more toxic now compared to 10-15 years ago. The movie "Idiocracy" comes to mind tbh, because whole generations can't seem to get past a mental age of like 15
