It's not really hurting anyone, and I don't think a boycott is necessary. It's just childish at this point, but I do agree that there should be more dark characters.
They should just throw in 1-2 black 4 stars and call it a day, any 5 stars and then they will most likely be losing money because nobody would pull for them. As an American I certainly wouldn't and I know how much the Chinese players hate dark skin characters from their comments.
Imo dark skin does not work well in the "anime style" like something to do with the games lighting makes them look bad even on Fortnite the dark skinned shell shaded girl turned out like burnt pinkish orange instead of black lol
Can I just say Kazahana that I appreciate you saying that there should be more darker characters in the region. Some people don't see that the boycott is born from injustice, they're not doing this for fun, they're fans who gave a lot of time and money into the game only to be told quite boldly we don't want your type in this game…
They did the same with Sumeru (but got away with it cause of the middle east inspirations). It cannot fly with Natlan, this region should be 90% dark skinned. It baffles me that the darkest character in the game after the Natlan teaser is still from a region based on China!!? (Liyue: Xinyan)
[Edit] Btw not the playing the game goes without saying… I uninstalled seven days ago…
trick me once shame on you trick me twice shame on me
I have no Sympathy for him 90% of the hate are deserved Instead of fix the problems, he wait until natlan, 4 years later to go on stage and farm group of idiots
Don't forget Sumeru. It's also a bunch of SEAsian, middle eastern, and north african countries too. As an SEAsian myself, I honestly find these boycotts and people being angry over skin tone to be ridiculous. Yeah, my country was not properly represented, but so what? It's just a game and a fictional world setting at that. If I want to see my culture represented properly, I would just look for it in my country. Not from a game that was made by a different country. If you don't like what they are doing, quit the game. Especially if it makes you this upset over skin tone. Go find a game that has characters with the skin tone you like. Not whine about it constantly while still supporting their game.
the video doesn’t talk about the boycott(Da Wei video)- He only mentions about changing the artifacts systems and how the community complains about lot mostly from the 1st anniversary and so far, but if they are listening to us they would have finally give us an update on WHY there no POC or if they gonna make some in the future updates.
6:38. Genshin is gacha game, not just a game . That game is promoting gambling for millions of kids and adults , while using many psychological tricks to make sure you’re addicted .
The reason he was about to cry is because a Romance Simulator made more money than his Golden Egg (Genshin) .
There is difference between culture vs race, fiction vs reality, and inspirition vs representation.
You want want actual representation? start with AYAKA, AYATO, NINGGUANG, SAYU, GANYU, SHENHE, GOROU, KIRARA, YANFEI, KOKOMI, ITTO, KAZUHA, YOIMIYA ZHONGLI and RAIDEN. oh silly me they are not dark enough, nevermind please forget these asians characters despite having light hairs and their gods dont look like their inspiration.
bruh, After the Da Wei speech, This is absolutely inhuman. How can people hate and harshly criticize Genshin and going so far as sue them knowing that their human too. The Boycott is stupid. Changes can take time. Sympathy is genuine, not farming.
Im done with this boycott. its a fictional game yall. Saying his team ignored feedback is so stupid. In the 5.0 livestream they actively LISTENED to the feedback. They also have planned all of the game by Inazuma if not liyue. Adding a new character would make them have so much trouble. Imagine ur a developer making a game and suddenly BOOM the community is making a boycott for a new character. Now u have to spend another 50 hours AT LEAST working on animations and attacks. Then add another whole month looking for a voice actor and creating splash art. Then the character has to be included in something so another 60 hours gone ATLEAST making a story quest. Then atleast another 20 hours gone bug testing. THATS AWFULLY LONG FOR A SINGLE CHARACTER. Now the community wants atleast 2 im assuming. ALSO dont say that they can change the skin color of future characters. THATS EVEN MORE OF A HASSLE. Assuming that character is in the archon quest, another 30 hours changing cutscenes and dialogue and such. Then they have to ask the person who made the splash art to change the work. As some colors that may have worked with white dont work aswell with black. So change that too. Its a hell of a hassle to do that stuff. I support that we need more black characters but just let them do what they want. Its their game. If you dont like it then LEAVE i dont care. I play the game for the story and exploration and im pretty sure many others do. Aslong as they make good updates and events, I dont care about this stuff.
This game is just that. A game. If you dont like it then just dont play it.
This is my opinion on this matter and I know many may not agree.
The funniest shit I got from all these is Sucrose VA unhinged behavior on X. Boycott means don't spend money in the game but keep playing it like what??? 😂 And Genshin started listening after 4 years with Da Wei's crocodile tears
When Im in a spreading misinformation with no research put into at all and my opponent is genshin "competitor" cc(they don't know Dawei also directing hsr before genshin 5.0 ,so basically they are attacking the same person who is generous to honkai star rail)
This boycott makes me laugh. This is just slacktivism – blah blah blah from keyboard warriors. How many of these so called boycotters actually do anything AT ALL for people of colour in real life? Because if they are doing something, why is there still systemic racism going on against POC? But real-life activism takes a lot of work, too much work, and so it's far easier to yap about boycotts against a fictional game with fictional characters.
What's some of the Craziest Genshin Boycott Strategies you've seen?!
I even stopped playing for.. 2 years I guess xD
Withering Waves is dying.

Also Wuwa “Took” A lot of money from him . ALOT.
