#honkai rappa

[outivv]

Quick little one-off thing- but I’m honestly so like… confused with honkai Star rail and making penacony the planet of “how many cultures can we steal”

Lowkey rant below

Like penacony itself is based around the jazz age which was made by African Americans, and their culture- but there’s not a SINGLE black playable character. Like girl. Really?

Like you got Boothill who’s supposed to be native and Hispanic and looks like a white guy from Nevada named John. While being a cowboy, which has a whole history and stuff- but basically dude should not be white, especially because on top of that his planet, and his story is based around the Native American genocide, and paints the pic to be very similar to Britain/ America.

Aventurine is supposed to be Roma/Romani but he looks like every twink I see at the mall in my town, like he has NOTHING to represent his culture.

And now Rappa- who while I think she might be a gag character meant to poke fun at weebs, she makes me nervous too- because like. Dude. Hyv is gonna pull some shit like “she’s a gangster!!” And give her like weird stereotypes while making her a Japanese girl. Like those white people who are like “I live in the ghetto” but are literally rich and own 4 boats, a lake house, and have a fat fucking family, and a mansion. Like. I’m really nervous that they’re gonna make her use aave and just… misuse it so bad… like they had an instance of that in zzz- I believe, but maybe they used it right. I can’t remember, but it was in one of Zhu yuan’s like hang out things- and some girl said something but I can’t remember what exactly it was and if they used it right or not. Either way, I’m really worried that Rappa will just be a big fuck up because her design is cool, even though she’s another instance of a design I think would look better if she was black, or just dark skinned.

[aventurineswife]

Boothill: Love is weakness and an evolutionary mistake.

Rappa: You are literally making a Valentine’s day card for [Name].

Boothill, pointing his hot glue gun towards Rappa: You’re on thin fudging ice.

You know what more ironic about Rappa. Her eng va is voiced by a black woman

https://x.com/flylikeabyrd22/status/1828283417135661197?t=NozMuBu8UKwET1R3v0LkhQ&s=19

And this is not me saying I'm sad but more like.....seriously hyv you aren't helping your case. Having POC va but the game it self can't even create proper POC representation in both culture and skin

Omg yeahhhh I saw stuff talking about that. Like you’re gonna hire a black woman to voice her and not just… make rappa black? Girl be so fr.

[b1adie]

rappa is a really good character because they intoduce her and you're like "haha what a weirdo what's wrong with her" and then the game goes "oh! You want to know? Let me show you :)" and you end up just sitting there like
