fuck off genshin fans.


okay, lets start off with this is going to be bias as well as ill try to be respectful about most things. this is a long rant, so ill have multiple links to send you back to the main page throughout this all.

1. Racism
This is an issue I've noticed with Honkai Star Rail fans as well, so I will be talking about those issues as well since it seems to be said the same people who do everything else I'm about to list. Let's start with the fact I've watched you guys BEG for cultural representation yet once we get it you guys seem to mock it every chance you get. Like when Yun Jin came out, everyone made fun of her singing. The same very singing that is supposed to represent a lesser-known aspect of Chinese culture, sung by an ACTUAL Chinese opera singer. “But it is funny and sounds weird” but it's NOT and you sound extremely racist. Now this isn't the only time you guys have seemed to make fun of Chinese representation, another example is in HSR with the character Blade. His theme song is a very important cultural Chinese instrument called a suona that was established by the Yuan Dynasty. “But it sounds like a mosquito” Yes, the suona is known for its extremely loud sound and distinctively Northern flavour. I've also realized that you guys don't seem to realize that Genshin Impact is owned by Hoyoverse which is a Chinese company we won't get lots of dark-skinned characters. Though that doesn't justify race-bending characters you want and calling it “representation” it is NOT. What you are doing is racism. They both start with R but they are both very different things. It is especially not okay that you guys will caption it “fixing whatever this is.” What you seem to not understand is the fact you are erasing culture. Now I do understand a lot of you like to excuse it by saying they are blasian, and that's your “headcannon” but please also try to acknowledge the fact many blasian people have spoken out about this and have stated the fact they are very uncomfortable with this. So please stop changing the race of characters who are supposed to be Asian or white-coded. It is extremely disrespectful, and if you do want to “fix” characters then what you could do instead is make characters like Kaeya, xinyan, Candace, etc (characters who are supposed to be dark) darker. Just as it's not okay for a white person to do blackface it's not okay to make a light-skinned person darker. I am not excluding darker Asians, as I would consider myself one. I and simply saying the double standard within this fandom is incredibly offensive.
