I know you’re supposed to be thankful when you get positive attention on social media
But please don’t follow me because of what I’ve been contributing to the boycott efforts. All I’ve been doing is translating things. Those are not my words.
“Why are you, a Japanese person so pressed about Sumeru and Natlan”
Bc all things considered they did good in inazuma. In fact I saw aspects of my culture that the layperson doesn’t know that I love bc of my field of study as a Japanese art historian being represented in fantasy
Reminder that Dehya’s first banner outsold Raiden’s first banner even though it was 100% confirmed she would become a standard.
Raiden’s first banner was HISTORIC in terms of sales, but barely anyone talked about Dehya outselling her because…?
THIS. some of hoyos most popular characters are poc and sugilite is the most recent example. the "they won't sell well" excuse is pure bullshit. cyno has a bad kit and people whaled for nahida baizhu and furina for him. people c6r5ed dehya to make her usable. kaeya is still very
IT'S ON YAHOO NEWS!!!!
the title says "genshin's voice actors criticizing the game: if you're going to add real cultures, then you should respect them"
MIND YOU YAHOO NEWS IS A BIG MEDIA IN JAPAN

People need to stop reframing the Neuvillette situation as “they only listened because CN users complained” or “they won’t listen to Natlan bc they only listen to CN users” bc CN users have BEEN complaining about Natlan and they aren’t listening.
@DominosPizza43
To be extremely clear he himself hasn’t said anything of either side, he simply liked a bunch of Zionist tweets and refuses to deny that he is one to the point he blocks anyone who asks and bans people from his discord server for asking or mentioning Palestine in any way
Let me be honest. Sharing cherry picked racist comments from the CN community to be like “oh no the CN fandom isn’t on our side :/“ just feels like “the devs don’t care, they’re Chinese” with extra steps
@EliraEclipse
Alhitham’s VA is Palestinian, and has been showing and providing support to the best of his ability given the situation directly involves his loved ones.
Because I'd like to ensure that my sources are up to date, it would be highly appreciated if you could comment below with links to reputable charities, organizations, relief efforts and causes.
Even if I have linked them before, feel free to link them again for validation. 🍉
If you have a problem with Layla’s VA writing fanfic but not Diluc’s VA being a self admitted racist lolicon who uses KLC as a shield or said nothing when Tighnari’s first va is a self proclaimed Zionist and a pedophile with a victim as young as 7 yrs old
Whoo boy im about to embarrass you-
The electro symbol in genshin is a clear reference to the Japanese Cultral symbol and crest known as “Tomoe” though its origin and and exact meaning can differ-
@gabvriyel
I was so invested bc everyone else seemed to be only for it to boil down to “he’s so toxic bc he wouldn’t be friends with me >:(“
“Nuh uh leave me alone >:(“ but they’re both like 30 years old
@eternalbreathin
It’s honestly really not as bad as Sumeru or how people have twisted it to be, because how SWANA people’s bodies have been objectified in pop culture doesn’t compare to anything Japanese people have faced.
Old MH fans say shit like “Gen 1 was more organically diverse! All the diversity in Gen 3 is way too forced” when Gen 1 “diversity” boils down to this shit being portrayed by white VAs
@AlllSeven
@bara_moe_bltch
Actually, to me Endevor not being publicly hated is really realistic. Heroes are basically celebrities in that universe and think about how many IRL celebrities are known abusers but still get jobs, promotion and have a dedicated fan base
I think a lot of people don’t realize that conflating being East Asian with being unable to be respectful to non EA or non European culture is in fact very dehumanizing.
East Asians are people, and just like any other people are capable of giving a shit about others.
@FadingAiden
That’s also not how blood spatter works either. This looks like someone spilled red paint and smeared it using hands covered in plastic bags, you can tell from the imprint left in the paint.
@sxxlol
Like someone else said
They didn’t respond bc CN players complained, they responded bc they could’ve gotten sued.
They don’t care about any country’s player base, they only care about money.
In case people split hairs about Baizhu being Chinese and me being Japanese, here’s one I did with Ayato VS my face. Cropped out my face bc some of yall are unhinged but the point is made.
The lightest shade is where the light reflected off my forehead.
How about we stop treating all Chinese people like a monolith based on cherry picked comments. It’s not good no matter what kind of social aware twist you try to put on it
@eternalbreathin
I’ve replied to some other people too
But I’m genuinely not upset about Yae in particular bc of some obscurer Shinto related references she has. But I’m genuinely too burnt out to do a thread and I don’t want to take attention away from others
@Gondolinhrim
@AntiWarDevil
Hey! Japanese person here.
The two words he says are ユニオンand 有給
The first word is the adopted word “union”. It means exactly what it does in English.
The second word is the Japanese word for “paid leave”
Feel free to copy paste and google it!
Just asking to clarify
But if a man is a creep it’s “not all men”
But if a trans person is a creep, it’s “this is why trans is a plague that puts children in danger”?
Also idk if you know this but it costs money to keep game servers running.
F2P players that don’t buy merch, don’t go to events, etc. COSTS THEM MONEY.
We're so close to our next goal!
Keep fighting Hoyo's colorism. You can be an advocate for change now!🌍✊
Your support means everything.

For ppl having problems with "genshin design are simple".
You see, there is this thing called polygons in models. The less polygons model have the smoother it works. Genshin works around it by painting details without modeling them
Also idk if you know this but it costs money to keep game servers running.
F2P players that don’t buy merch, don’t go to events, etc. COSTS THEM MONEY.
@444kokomi
I'm pretty sure that just like tiktok, Hoyoverse, the international company is located in Singapore and not China and this makes it extra funny to me
@Kavehsgirlie
I kept seeing white people telling Buddhists to stop using it and “just use something else” “it’s not that hard” and I thought I was going crazy.
Do they not hear themselves???
Whoo boy im about to embarrass you-
The electro symbol in genshin is a clear reference to the Japanese Cultral symbol and crest known as “Tomoe” though its origin and and exact meaning can differ-
overall it is considered a symbol of harmony and also a symbol for the three Mitama, or souls of Shinto deities.
Ei is very clearly based upon Amaterasu Ō Mikami, the chief goddess of Shintoism (obviously her sealing herself in her sword to preserve eternity-

Before you say “that’s not what it says in the panel”
The panel spells it in a silly way to show that he’s singing. It’s a manga.
@aequoreusi
I’m so tired of being called an anti for just.
Not liking how this kind of content/behavior is normalized and made accessible to the general public
Genshin fans swear up and down that they aren’t misogynists but the biggest hot topic in this fandom for the past month is about weather a woman with a personality is worthy of having power and whether a man should replace her instead
@oddynuff_amira
Yeah that’s the entire flaw in both your and OP’s argument. The assumption that a full legal consenting adult isn’t actually consenting for arbitrary reasons you made up as an excuse to participate in a discussion about consent in someone else’s sex life. It’s dumb :)
@KatyMontgomerie
Transphobes: why are trans people so depressed? Why do they want to kill themselves? It’s such a mystery!
Transphobes when trans people are happy:
@randomigues
@goboee
The green dude coddles her and treats her like a baby for being disabled even though she’s a grown adult woman.
She prefers being in the company of the white haired dude because he treats her with respect.
Green dude is trting to keep her away from him bc he’s jealous
“Oh of COURSE Iansan is unpopular in China 😒” just feels like “Chinese people are all racist so that’s why HYV doesn’t care” with extra steps but hey what do I know
Similarly to how the Christian cross makes appearances in Mondstadt with an altered meaning (something more similar to a compass rose representing the four winds in that case)
Personally I think it’s likely that in inazuma, it likely represents the Tri-commission although
@vyntersnow
WHY WOULD YOU RESPOND TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS???? See THIS is unprofessional rule no. 1 of being a public figure is not engaging with fan’s sexual comments
I talk about my experience in the church I was raised in a lot.
One thing that was often asked in sermons was this:
If Jesus was getting crucified today, would you be in the crowd mocking him with everyone else?
Obviously the congregation would say “no! Of course not!”
I’m gonna be more blatant
Bc my opinions are rather unpopular I keep them to myself, I will say I want people to stop comparing Raiden and Yae’s outfits to the outfits of the women in Sumeru.
It’s not even CLOSE how dirty Sumeru designs have been done.

I arrive with information from Japanese Google
Location: Atari Cafe&Dining Ikebukuro Parco
Date: 7/2~8/18
Reservation: not required but likely recommended due to popularity
Source (in Japanese):
That is just speculation on my part. But as far as we know Ei’s similarities with Shinto deities begin and end with her similarities to Amaterasu and we have no reference to anything resembling Mitama so that is the theory I go by.
@ijbolistani
Men be like “I hate women. Nothing about women is attractive to me. No woman will ever fulfill me the way a man could” and then ask “why are women not attracted to me” within 5 seconds of each other
This finally explains why Kooleen makes me think of AI art. She makes completely random changes to the designs that make her versions look soulless/thoughtless
@EliraEclipse
Guys!!!!
The thread literally said this is SOME of the genshin VAs that support Palestine, not ALL. They even ask for comments to add more with receipts. Just bc they missed a few doesn’t mean they’re claiming they’re Zionists.
People need to have the same energy for Sean chiplock as they did with Elliot Gindi.
It’s the same fucking crime. It doesn’t suddenly matter less when it was several years ago and he voices a character you actually like this time.
It’s honestly so much worse because people infantalizing Yuki for being disabled even though the show literally shows how infantilizing disabled people is wrong thru Oushi
“She’s too naive to see Istuomi’s creepiness!!!” Go get banished to the shame corner by the girl herself.
@Kavehsgirlie
Not to “um actually” but according to what I learned from all that Asian art history
China adopted a LOT of Indian religion/spirituality through trade etc, at this point Yaksha are very much part of Chinese tradition as well.
This argument never made sense to me bc my Karate teacher was fat.
She was a high ranking black belt, also a high rank in judo AND kendo
And she was still fat.
Being athletic isn’t a body type.
Guys why are we attacking Gotouge now for not making Mitsuri chubby?
Yes she does eat a lot but are we forgetting the fact that she's a goddam warrior who's active every night???
Sports burns calories!!! Stop hating on authors because your headcanons are not canon please!
@Pok3monFr3ak
This entire thread and the comments agreeing are like “but *I* don’t do that. It doesn’t represent *MEEEE*” like I’m sorry did you forget it’s called Autism SPECTRUM disorder or what
@motiblackart
I’ve had friend groups where they would invite me, then put me in situations to coerce me into uninviting myself so then they could claim they invite me all the time I just turn them down, am too busy, flake etc :/
