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-

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!!

Hey!! I know I’ve been pretty absent and quiet for a few days, I’ve been super busy- so I do apologize, but I quickly wanna talk about the genshin and McDonald’s collab.

Boycotting genshin isn’t just about the colorism, the racism, the inaccuracies between cultures, the sexism, the fetishization, the pedophilia, the unrewarding gameplay, or any of that shit anymore- it’s now also about the fact that genshin is working with a company that’s funding an actual genocide. Like. Killing mass amounts of people kinda genocide if you weren’t already fucking aware. It’s disgusting, because they know what they’re doing- and it’s appalling to me that they would do that KNOWING full well. “Well they’re a Chinese company!! They couldn’t have known!!” YOU’RE STUPID. Like actually, because no they know. People in China know, people in Japan know, people in Korea know- all of these countries that you like to literally infantilize?? Why????? Like these are whole ass countries, these people fucking know- and most people are outraged and stand with Palestine from what I’ve heard, so don’t be dumb, because they know, they’re educated.

I swear to god hyv is just giving themselves a one way ticket to their company going into the dumps, fuck hyv, fuck mihoyo.

With natlan out I wanna remind everyone to not spend, don’t top up, don’t get the battle pass, don’t refresh welkin, don’t even play if that’s what you’re deciding.

What does victory look like in the whole #BoycottHoyoverse movement? I support the movement for more diversity in their games, yet I can't see an endgame that satisfies most people. Truthfully, I still have my doubts that a whole lot will change in the VERY short time window before 5.0 drops in Late August/Early September.

Let me put it this way, what is the most that you want from them and what is the least that you would accept?

I am white, BAHAH- so I am not going to speak over poc’s voices in terms of what THEY want, because it is their culture, not mine- I am simply here to appreciate it, (and hopefully amplify their voices) which is what I personally want to do in all games I play. I want genshin, and Hoyoverse as a whole to literally listen to people’s voices, fix their character designs, give them the skin color, hair texture, cultural references, and proper representation that they deserve. The people who have been getting their culture and stories just outright stolen by hoyoverse are the ones who set the bar for what is and isn’t acceptable in my opinion.

The majority of people (from what I’ve seen) just want the proper representation, and all of the proper representation as well, not just half assed shit. I don’t think they’ll accept any less than what is genuinely just owed to them in my opinion, which is good- fuck that billion dollar company.

Honestly even if genshin delays Natlan by like a month if need be, just to fix the characters and npcs? I’d be happy. Other people would be happy. Even if it’s a small amount of time- they still have time to fix natlan, and sumeru too. Don’t forget about sumeru.

hi sorry, can I ask what the latest anon message was about? i'm still new to this whole boycott, I only really know that basic gist of it :<

Don’t be sorry- it’s totally okay!! I’m gonna be assuming you’re talking about this one:

So basically a lot of people have been like “omg wow thank you hyv!!” Because hyv is going to be giving better rewards, fixing the 50/50 system by adding in essentially what is a safety net (that’s also there to encourage you to pull), fixing the weapon banner to a regular 50/50 system, and then all of that. With the boycott it’s encouraging people to NOT SPEND ANYYYYY MONEY, a lot of people are divided on whether or not to still play or not, but the main thing I guess I’ll say is don’t talk positively about hyv, don’t talk about playing any of their games, just repost fanart/ fan creations that showcase the characters with better rep. So like a fan al haitham with an ethnic nose, or Candace with dreadlocks and darker skin, and aventurine actually being tan- stuff like that essentially. Keep supporting fan creations!! Don’t talk about playing hyv games/ positively about them.

Some people are being performative with the boycott still, kinda like they were in sumeru- just talking “oh my god no bad hyv!” But then spending money, or praising hyv for other things, when they’re still pretty fucked up in a lot of ways.

Mihoyo making a lolicon game in China, bad rep, racist remarks in game, not listening to fans, hiring genuinely bad people as VA’s and then not replacing them, and many more that I likely can’t remember now- and ALL OF THOSE REASONS are why we’re boycotting all hyv games. Zzz, honkai Star rail, honkai impact 3rd, tears of Themis, and genshin impact.

I didn’t totally understand what to elaborate on, so I apologize if this wasn’t helpful :’3

The white racist players of Genshin fandom because how are they going to sit there and think a name like Al Haitham is a white name?

What about Kaveh? Ororon isn't a white name he AN AFRICAN DIETY for crying out loud.

Then they have the nerve to bitch at us for wanting better representation when our culture is being used only to be heavily whitewashed

Right, right- like no… Nilou isn’t white, kaveh isn’t white, Layla isn’t white, Al haitham isn’t white, and lemme remind some people- that DOTTORE ISNT WHITE EITHER. I thought for a long time that he was from Fontaine, cause I was deep into a bit of theories saying “no he’s from Fontaine!!” But now I’ve been educated, and those theories were just… either high key racist, or just… misinformed. He says he’s from sumeru, he’s the only fatui so far that we know of FOR SURE is from sumeru, where the fuck is his melanin?

I feel like I had a while talk about Ororon, but that whole situation is just… so disrespectful. Like you’re gonna take inspo from an African deity, make nothing about his inspirations known, make him pale as fuck, and then misspell his name?? Girl, his name should be Olorun, but idk which spelling to use, cause it’s like a Candace situation. Her name is Candace, but should be kandake- I believe? But people actively are like “hey don’t call her that, we don’t want kandake to get confused with a fucking video game character” so it’s like… ughhhhhh, disrespectful on hyv’s behalf.

It sucks cause the majority of the community isn’t racist, or even bad- but the racist people are soooo fucking loud. Like shut up, you’re making all of us look bad, and you’re being a bitch on top of it.
