THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!!! make sure to catch us on Twitch.tv/EisSocial for more goofs and a good time! 😀
smhhh missing my favorite drama: the hu tao vs xiao fan wars.
when xiao and hu tao were first teased and released there was a ton of discourse about who was better and stuff. and then they were released on the same patch and people went insane and were fighting with each other about which character was better. i heard there were lots of xiao fans who would unfriend people who had hu tao
Plss I wanna know about how queer coded genshin is
do you remember when genshin made a new account for ella musk during this anniversary thing, and it had this follower reward where they would invite elon musk to their headquarters. it was a joke but it came at a VERY bad time
I would say hoyoverse did a great job at representing our culture. Sure, there could be more dark skinned characters but it’s not a problem??? (I’m fairly dark skinned so)
27:43 unfortunately, as much as I'd like to believe that's the reason, its a lot more malicious than that. With free to play games and especially gacha games its not so much wanting to have players play your game for multiple hours at once but rather to have them play consistently over the span of weeks and even months. The resin cap ensures that players can't progress and achieve goals in a single day. In reality things that use resin such as domains and bosses only take a couple of minutes to complete and its rather the fact that there is a limit to how many times you can do these actions per day that forces you to come back to the game consistently and thus increases player retention. It's the same reason monetary tactics like battle passes , login bonuses and daily missions are so prevalent in free to play games. At the end of the day these games are competing for your attention and the longer you play these games the more likely you are to justify an in-game purchase which is where all the money comes in for hoyoverse and other companies like them.
The anniversary era was a very strange time- I loved it. BTW THIS VIDEO IS BEAUTIFUL TY 🫶🫶
Don't be shy, drop the queercoding manifesto
Almost no one talks about how the genshin fandom bullied the designer of Tighnari (pakosun) for making him too white. I understand that people want representation, I also want to see more representation, but to pour shit on an innocent artist and not on hoyovers is disgusting
"thoma got his vision from being violently, concerningly gay" made me laugh way more than it shouldve
On the subject of Genshin being a gay game, it has NOTHING on Honkai Impact 3rd.I was barely 5 minutes into the game and it was already giving Sappho's entire collection a run for her money in terms of lesbianism. Hoyoverse? More like Homoverse. Yae and Kallen even kiss in the anime. (Okay, the camera goes up as they get closer to each other, but…come on.)
So, okay, this is very niche and I don't know if anyone remembers, but you know how you mentioned the eula controversy? One of the consequences during that controversy was the undeserved 'cancel' of an artist named veechu_
Who is veechu_ you might ask? The artist who created the 4nemo and DCKZ AU. You heard that right, they were the one who created it. This au wasn't created by the collective brain of the fandom it was thanks to one person. Anyways, my memory of the drama was blurry however since I only heard from 3rd party sources (…despite being there when it happened. They shipped xv if I recall so I kinda muted them). But from what I remember people bashed/bullied them for saying along the lines of "freed from the shackles". This was during the height of the eula controversy so you can expect what happened 🙁 it got to the point that they got death threats and veechu_ had to leave for their safety. Not long after they left, Eula's introduction was released (this was before drip marketing) the word "shackles" was mentioned in her introduction. The whole thing felt like a circus
Edit: pronouns. Just to be safe im using 'them'
well… as a turkish person i guess my feelings are the opposite of other cultures sumeru represented. i feel like the skin colors are pretty much realistic for turkish people (im speaking only for the turkey ofc and i also know dark skinned turkish people exist but the turkey i experience is filled with very fair skinned people and the dark skin characters have is pretty much same with the dark skinned turkish people) but the real problem about MY thoughts is that, i didn't feel represented at all except some food like idk baklava and tulumba. so maybe my thoughts are invalid and i dont get to speak on this since i'm not represented? i really don't know if i was supposed to be represented as a middle eastern or not like?? idk tbh
My favorite one was that time genshin players started shitting on gbf for supposedly copying lumine's look for one of jeeta's class skins. And then every gbf player was like, um no, glorybringer came out before genshin started development lmao. Why do you care????
With the Eula controversy, people like her should be 100% forgiven for her family's past actions. She can't control what her family did. They've been doing that long before she was even born. What my family did in the past does not define who I am as a person. Especially when I'm trying to push my family away when they're continuing to do horrendous acts like that.
Umm wasn't there a controversy concerning Genshin's Inazuma Archon quest.
Where the original concept where Ei was actually a villain and not just a shut in.
But it had to be changed due to the implication of the CCP and China.
Or something like that 😬
11:45 You also forgot to say the site on which you could see the live voting was totally shut down because there were too many votes suddenly for both of them and probably the sonic side suddenly used a shitload of bots so the votes just suddenly went through the orbit. And as a person that was cheerleading for sonic to win, both sides were awful. Like I saw a meme page of Genshin Impact that suddenly started ONLY duking on Sonic in a really bad way (It was also one of the pages I was following, some popular one) and after sometime I just wished this stuff would finally end.
Yes you should definitely talk about the gayness that is genshin impact – sincerely a gay person
Leaving a comment just to say that I'D LOVE to see a video about queercoding in genshin!!!
I LOVE THE PAN FLAG AND VENTI POSTER IN THE BACK <3
WE NEED THE DEEP DIVE !!!
I do want to mention a situation that not many people have heard of, The Hololive situation which really exposed Mihoyo for their horrible stance on politics and xenophobia.
-I personally despise Genshin Impact and the devs. But all personal feelings aside, mihoyo still is a horrible game company on par with blizzard
-some devs threatened to RAPE a girl because she said the word Taiwan and the devs got away with it without repercussions is horrible.
-I personally don’t respect any project that is primarily funded by the CCP.
-Also the loli thing IS bad given how the word loli is short for Lolita which is a book about SPECIFICALLY pedophilia
-Another thing, China is a VERY racist country so the limit of dark skin characters honestly makes sense.
Thank you for taking the time to cover Gindi's situation. I was devastated and so angry when the allegations started coming out. We need to remember that this happened, and make sure it doesn't happen again. All my love and support to every one who was affected by his actions, directly or not. <3
Also, it's insane to me that the VAs get attacked and harassed for what happened IN THE GAME. It's like when actors like Tom Felton and Jack Gleeson were being harassed for the terrible characters they played on screen. Hello, it's a ROLE. If anything, they should be praised for how hate-able they made the characters.
Alejandro is a treasure to this world, I will bite the ankles of anyone starting sh*t about him, or any other VA.
PS : I would LOVE to see a video about the Queer coding in Genshin!!
as a 1.0 player i honestly didn’t even realize that that stuff was the anniversary gift because the prizes where so low (i also had no clue i’ve been playing this damn game so long) i think they have gotten slightly better at listening to the community i dropped the game probably a little after the chasm for a while and started back up a week before fontaine. also fudge everyone who said kokomi would be trash i wished for her because she’s cute and now she’s lowk meta stay mad
Yess pleasw deep dive into the gayness
Regarding the 2FA and hacking incident, I believe it was not initially implemented because the OG countries Hoyoverse caters do not need to do so, essentially it was design oversight.
IDK about Japan, but in China you have to register using your ID, and in Korea, ID registration for games were mandated by law.
Love ur vids❤
I'm a little surprised that the hillichurl controversy isn't here. Though I guess at the same time not many people are fully aware of it! Especially due to it being a very early (Pre inazuma) controversy. Where it was shown through leaks that Hoyo based them off of indigenous people. Which still is something pushed under the rug :c Because it was only a theory back then that hillichurls used to be people. Though now that we know that to be the case its a bit hurtful that its seen that inspiration from my culture is to show monsters that used to be humans turned into a 'primitive' form. It would be nice to have people discuss it more, though as an indigenous person myself during that time we were told it was just a video game, or other games do it as well (orcs and other mobs)… which in of itself is a problem. If you took your time to read this, thank you! I don't mean ill intent at all btw/gen
I just found it funny how around the time Scaramouche's character design was going to drop. There were literally no leaks, no news, not even an ounce of information, like they knew how we'd be, and they wanted it to be a damn surprise.
Shota is the male equivalent to loli and we have yet to get a shota character
the stuff with the CN male fan base hating scaramouche is so funny like do you see the game you’re playing it’s so fruity
Hihi !
First time watcher of the channel. I kinda liked that video.
However, now that I'm almost through with this vid, I feel like it's a good time to tell you you forgot a PRETTY BIG controversy for Genshin on PC specifically.
Ever since its beginning, Genshin has implemented an invasive anti cheat system. Fact is, the anti cheat could turn itself on even when players weren't playing the game.
It has been scrutinized and some voiced their discontent.
BUT, said anti cheat system that can turn itself has also knowingly been used as a virus on windows PCs (and only windows PCs, to the nest of my knowledge).
I'm kind of a techie dude so I had followed the (still ongoing?) incident but I don't blame you for not having found out about it or mentioned it.
If I were to rate it, according to your tier list, I'd say it goes into at least "taking accountability" if not downright "not funny".
Mihoyo was on the verge of releasing a computer virus that could function even out of their game(s?) the likes of which has rarely been seen before.
the sumeru controversy is ass imo. most of what i saw was the skin tone thing and most of sumeru's characters don't have the tanned skin tone.
but even in reality there are ppl who have lighter skin tone when majority of the the population have tanned skin tone. an example would be people of indian or arabic descent. many of them living there have darker skin tone, while a small number of them have a lighter skin tone.
so, i don't really get the controversy when majority of the complaints come from white ppl who don't even know fair skin types exist outside of the stereotype.
honestly, i'm glad hoyo made tan skin charas, but tbh you can't make everyone happy. there's always that critic who complains of every small thing. like if it's so much of a problem for you, then make your own game lol
