Let's Go!!!

Genshin is the McDonald's of gaming

It's morally bankrupt, cheap and geared towards the lowest common denominator(generic anime fans)

[the-banana-0verlord]

just saw a video that said "just enjoy the game!" to people complaining about the natlan characters. are you really gonna say that to the people who got their cultures appropriated by hoyoverse?

"just stop playing the game -_-"are you really telling to black and latina people that either they stop playing their beloved comfort game or they let a company be colorist without saying anything.

just say you're a racist hoyoverse bootlicker atp.

[bluebell-kitsune]

I love the amount of people salty that the boycott didn’t work as if still playing the game that you claim to be mad at, therefore still supporting it, was going to do anything at all.

I’m convinced the “f2p”-ers have no idea what a boycott actually is.

When you boycott something, you quit it cold turkey. You stop interacting with it all together. You don’t keep playing and boosting their active player count. You’re still showing support through playing it. I have no idea how you don’t understand this.

It’s like screaming “STARBUCKS IS BAD AND AWFUL AND IT NEEDS TO BE BOYCOTTED!!!” while holding a Starbucks latte in your hand and then taking a lil sip.

It was doomed to fail from the start.

hii guys sorry, but im not really keen on reblogging or talking about hoyoverse positively rn due to their acts of whitewashing characters based on actual real poc and mispelling names of real deities

i do have a few hoyo stuff i wanna post but please know its because of my own interest in the games and not in support of a company that fails to do proper rep and also has collabed with zionist brands 🫶

i encourage the small following i have to boycott, which means no buying merch and going f2p, im already f2p and intend to stay that way 🩵

anyways back to my vacation-

[outivv]

Another fresh reminder is that boycotting Hoyoverse/ mihoyo ≠ quitting any of the games!!

Play the games, unless you are literally so uncomfortable with it that you can’t even bear to play which I can completely understand, but to further cost Hoyoverse money- it’s smart to play the game while not spending any money. Server costs will go up for Hoyoverse by more people playing the game for longer, while the income they roll in will go down due to not as much money being spent, which will land them in shit as a business and slowly cost them more and more and more money!! So, if you’re boycotting that doesn’t mean you have to quit, just stop spending any money or supporting hoyoverse!!

Almost 95k signatures!

Please don't forget this, for the last few days it has been stagnant on 104K signatures. That's still an entire 46K signatures needed

HOW DO I COMPLAIN TO HOYOVERSE?

It's easy, and there are MULTIPLE things you can do! I recommend doing each item on this list.

1. SIGN & SHARE THE PETITION

The petition will be delivered to the appropriate cultural reps, in order to complain to the CCP about the negative impression this is leaving on Chinese companies. Genshin Impact is highly favoured by the government for the positive press it gives the country, and putting pressure on the 'big daddy' is FAR more likely to make Hoyoverse buckle.

As of right now, the petition has nearly 38k signatures.

2. EMAIL HOYOVERSE

Email them directly at genshin_cs@hoyoverse.com to state how this has affected your desire to continue playing their games.

3. USE THE IN-GAME SURVEY OR FEEDBACK

Genshin Impact has frequent update surveys, and there is a permanent option to give feedback at any time. You can find it in the Paimon Menu.

4. REVIEW BOMB

Rate Hoyoverse's games, particularly Genshin, with one star on the app store. This has already proven in the past to have an effect, when this caused the team to review the anniversary rewards.

Here is a guide on how to do this!

5. POST IN OFFICIAL HOYOVERSE ACCOUNTS' COMMENTS

Do not be silent! Speak up about your displeasure. It's important that these comments outweigh the rest! Show that we are the MAJORITY.

6. SPEAK UP

Use the tags!

#BoycottHYV #WhyAreTheyWhiteHoyo #GenshinImpact #FixNatlan

Be relentless.

FURTHER DETAILS UNDER THE CUT!

WHAT SHOULD I NOT DO?

The following actions should NOT be taken:

DO NOT spend money on Hoyoverse games.

DO NOT sent threats, to voice actors OR customer service staff.

DO NOT engage with trolls or racists. Block and report.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

It's easy to dismiss this in the face of 'more important' issues in the world at the moment, but Genshin Impact (And by extension, Hoyoverse) is a very influential game and company. It is extremely popular, and directly influences MANY other games and players through this popularity.

This isn't an issue of 'just stop playing'- This is not anger for a game's decisions, it's anger for a precedent. It's a demand that not only should Hoyoverse care about representation, but other, smaller, companies too. If Hoyoverse can get away with it, so can others- But if Hoyoverse is held accountable for their exploitation of culture, then it sets the precedent that other companies have no chance of doing the same.

Like it or not, Hoyoverse has a lot of influence, and the CCP itself values the company for giving China a positive image in other countries. This is bigger than just being mad at character design.

EDIT: It was also pointed out to me that if POC were to simply stop engaging with hostile content, they would have nothing left. 'Just stop playing' isn't fair, plain and simple. POC deserve to play the things that they enjoy WITHOUT being ostracized.

DOES HOYOVERSE LISTEN?

They listen if there's no money lining their pockets, they listen if their reputation is damaged, and they listen if the CCP gets involved. We have direct evidence of this.

Review bombing alone caused Hoyoverse to reconsider the first anniversary rewards.

The CCP forced Hoyoverse to reskin various characters to comply with their laws, which HYV did. (This isn't necessarily a good thing, however, it is still evidence that CCP has influence over them.)

This is by far the largest outcry the company has seen so far, and MANY of HYV's voice actors have spoken out in support for the movement as well. This is not just playerbase complaints, but staff, too.

I recommend following AvenOfStrats on X/Twitter for further updates on the petition's progress, and on other ways to contribute. They also share plenty of resources on why this is important, and guides on how to complain.

☆ 　natlan emote edits!

f2u, reblog appreciated!

saw the emotes come out and just had to add melanin to em!! they're so cute

[danonishere]

I'm just want to say, I deleted Genshin impact (my phone space is finally breathing after 3 years). I also deleted the other Hoyoverse apps I had on my devices and removed their music from my Spotify lists.

I just wanted to cut all ties I had with the company and their products, and it was hard seeing how I had 3 years to build such an attachment to their games, stories and characters.

But I would rather support a company that listens to their players.

I'm not going to stop boycotting, I want to see this through, to see if they will actually listen to us this time.

This is not a sighn for everyone to delete their games if they don't want to. It was the right decision for me.

I also want to go back to my normal brain rot, Fandom, fangirl content I post. Just know that I'm still boycotting Hoyo and waiting for a response.

[falling-star-cygnus]

throwback to when Klee offered to adopt Bennett -> girlie’s collecting big brothers like they’re pokémon cards

Albedo, somewhere somehow as he looks up: ...something just happened- Kaeya: 🤨 ???

[macaron-tea-party]

Heck yes! Especially if they had a cultural consultant involved they could’ve done so much more with Mavuika a more interesting character design.

my natlan edits in celebration of their drip marketing‼️

please tell me if anything is culturally inaccurate !!!

i gave mavuika a moko kauae referenced from māori women. i also changed her skin color to be more accurate to māori people in general. she also has an eyebrow piercing and some red eye makeup because i thought it'd be Cool. i didn't change her outfit because it kinda slays tbh. OH and she has long fangs now. you're welcome.

i made kachina a lot darker because like. come on. apparently, she's named after a spirit from the pueblo and hopi people, so like. yeah. anyways i also gave her freckles and a few moles because i just KNOW my girl is out in the sun 24/7. i covered up her crop top (hoyo stop giving little kids crop tops challenge: IMPOSSIBLE) and gave her little fangs. oh and heterochromia. because cool.

i gave kinich some face paint to go with his tattoos(?) referencing images of mayan people, plus a septum piercing because many of the references i saw had some form of septum piercing. he also got darker skin because hoyo is Evil. i changed his nose a little bit and added a mole on his right cheek

i actually think that mualani's design is adorable. like she's the cutest hoyo character ever. so, all i really did was make her a bit tanner, give her yellow eyeshadow, and some lips.
