Representation shapes how we see ourselves and each other. Video game worlds allow us to explore others' cultures and stories.
Seeing diverse and authentic characters makes these stories and makes them feel more real and meaningful.
#RepresentationMatters
To anyone wondering 'how' we're going to achieve our goal. I invite you to look at the speed the petition is growing.
Our goal for approaching ambassadors and politicians is 100k signatures. It's not just realistic, its HAPPENING.

We've hit 85k, but the journey isn't over yet. Let's keep the momentum going!

Lack of diversity in the media we consume clearly contributes to a prejudiced and hostile environment for POC in those communities. This is the result. Keep boycotting everyone!

"i am nigerian and have a nigerian family and I am insulted and offended by Mihoyo's inability to make their characters accurate to their cultures."

What I’m Doing Next:
I’ll be contacting the 62 cultural ambassadors on our list with the letters we’ve prepared. This includes reaching out to influential voices across various cultures to amplify our cause.
We hit an AMAZING 1k!
The momentum for the petition is really picking up so keep up the good work!

The

This shows our commitment to demanding respectful and accurate representation from HoYoverse. But our fight isn't over yet.
We need to escalate our efforts to ensure our voices are not only heard but acted upon!
Here’s how you can help us take it to the next level:
Influencer Outreach: If you follow any influencers who haven't spoken up yet, now is the time to reach out. Share our advocate kit with them and ask for their support with our message template.
Stay Engaged:
We’ll be sending regular updates to keep you informed of our progress and new strategies. Follow
@HYVBoycott
to stay connected and motivated.
Please bear with us as it may take several days for them to respond. Your patience and continued support are invaluable as we navigate this crucial phase of our campaign.

@Trauma182
The boycott team are compiling these examples as evidence that poor representation fosters and enables racism in their community. Examples like these are horrifying and prove our point. Things HAVE to change.
Many are saying 'Hoyo won't listen' and 'We tried before' but these are entirely flawed arguments.
The past does not determine the future. Our actions do!
I've been asked about our plans. We're aiming as high as possible, but here's something more concrete:
- At 100k we're going to share the petition with Ambassadors for affected indigenous countries in formal letters explaining the full situation.
@ParduotasG
@Kavehsgirlie
Hey! Yes at different stages we're sending them to influencers and content creators -> ambassadors and politicians -> HoYo.
The idea is to send it to them before Natlan's launch at 100k signatures. As we managed to hit 20k in the first week, its a realistic goal ^_^
I'm gonna share some comments from the petition that stand out.
"I’m Māori and I was so happy to hear one of our Atua will be an archon… until I saw her💀 "

@leahteasdale00
Hi! We're sending it to cultural ambassadors first, asking them to take up the issue with HoYoverse directly and speak on our behalf. If even one of them agrees, this will give us a much stronger chance of success.
I unfortunately only learned after posting this about the open-ended question being gone.
It should still be in the regular feedback forms or you can email them, but I realise the survey is limiting. We'll find more ways to reach HoYo!
@mephistopheiles
Please bare with us as contacting everyone takes time, and they will take up to a week to respond. Its only been a few days so there's no reason to lose hope.
@gamingbestboi
My fave part in these is when they think I'm American, when on the petition it clearly says UK 😂There's so many assumptions outa nowhere.
@AJBecklesVO
Hi AJ,
It would mean the world if you could please take a moment of your time to sign the petition requesting Hoyo to improve their representation and stop whitewashing of indigenous-inspired cultures in their games:
Reminding everyone here:
- We're currently working on a press kit to send to game journalists.
- At 100k we're taking the petition to cultural ambassadors of affected communities.
I post longer, daily updates to petition supporters so check your emails 💕
A lot of people ask so I want to remind everyone:
- Our goals are clearly written on the petition in many languages
- At 100k signatures we're approaching ambassadors and politicians with the petition
- We're currently approaching influencers, ccs and journalists
@FullRain88
Hi! The first major goal was 10k to start approaching influencers and content creators etc to help boost further to raise awareness and get Hoyo's attention.
Our next goal is to reach 100k and send the petition to ambassadors, politicians etc. We have the letters ready to go.
We now have 475! 🌎✨
Just 15 more signatures until we reach our next goal~
Stop Cultural Appropriation and Whitewashing in HoYo Games!

Sorry you're receiving these comments! I've reported every racist post I've come across in the last few weeks and not a single one was addressed, even the blatant ones like this.
Open the template → Go to 'File' → Make a copy✅

This shows Hoyo haven't listened YET but it's not too late. Natlan is due to launch late August so we still have plenty of time to make a difference! The petition has grown hugely in just the first few days, and we can keep that momentum going with your help!
Natlan Trailer
8 hours ago the Natlan trailer dropped for Genshin Impact, and its as bad as we feared. Most characters are pale or light tan as expected, with the exception of Iansan who we already saw in earlier marketing. See this tweet for better reference.
@haithamasseater
This is a good question! I'm personally hoping to see the petition grow as big as possible but in terms of achieving our main goal of Hoyo listening, it realistically needs to be a large portion of the playerbase OR enough signatures from influencers & CCs. 1/2

@multipluna
Hello! Yes, at 100k we're writing to cultural ambassadors. The emails are ready to go and we have an extensive list of contacts. The idea is to go to them with a strong number that shows how critical these issues are for the community.
By understanding these terms, we can see why authentic and respectful representation in media is so important.
Let’s work together to create positive change!
@blu3_rigel
Hello! I have a list of contacts I'm regularly adding to as I find more. I have a letter ready to go. I believe its enough for them to care as these are cultural ambassadors for the indigenous people affected by these issues.
