And because of this, ZZZ also got negative reviews and 1-star bombings for being accused of racism.

I have a crazy theory… What if the poster was simply just a poster about music for a record store?

[ayviondenar]

Billy’s also an android with a black color. This allows us to infer that, in the ZZZ universe, black is a common color for androids, which means that android music store owner being black not a deliberate choice made out of malice.

I'm black. People need to chill cause this is getting out of hand that's clearly a peguin

[AkagamiYami]

Apparently, some people on Twitter can't tell the difference between a penguin and a Black person...

The black robot is honestly gorgeous! I hope Hoyoverse doesn’t change her design.

It's actually amazing how some people manage to build an entire controversy out of a poster many players haven't even seen, it's like they're trying to find it XD

[AkagamiYami]

Somehow, everything related to Black skin instantly becomes offensive to people on Twitter. If that poster had white skin, no one would have been upset.

These people really try their hardest to find a reason to hate on something rather than finding a meaning in life.

the black robot is so well done. people have been complaining for darker characters, and when hoyo finally gives them darker characters, they're racist? make up your fucking mind

[Capidoesntexist]

omfg they're so overreacting that's just a penguin with headset and a robot with black metallic skin I'm so done with their mouth 💀💀

[seamonkey]

When I first saw that image, my first thought was a penguin wearing a headset. When I saw the music lady, I saw her as a robot, not a black woman. This really shows what kind of mindset these people screaming racism are.

bro the shop owner’s not even human 😭 i swear these people need to find something that makes them a better person if they’re even capable of doing thay

[ArchonKujo]

It's just Twitter looking for something to get mad about, nothing new

[Capitalisticbird]

Genshin allegations: "if you don't put black enough characters you're racist."

Zzz allegations: "if you put something remotely similar to a black person you're racist."

[angelyblood]

This is why i don't like assumptions from people in twitter...

[IansanofNatlan]

I thought that was a penguin to be honest

[Rei-uqjv]

imagine making a issue about a game where the image is just a music poster

[jaylonsmith]

People who aren't black getting offended for black people are one of the most annoying people in the Hoyo community.

[grumpysheep]

I can see how people would think it's racists, but as a black person and someone who doesn't cry off at every offensive thing in the world, I thought it was a penguin.
