Natlan boycotters are upset because the 5.0 live stream didn’t address their concerns about the lack of diversity among Natlan’s characters. They expected changes, but Hoyoverse didn’t make any. During the orchestra session showcasing Natlan’s theme, they noted that the orchestra had more diversity than the game’s characters, arguing that the characters should reflect this diversity if it’s the main inspiration for Natlan.

Wait until they know theres white latin american people
Oh shut up I'm a dark skinned person and even I'm not offended
They should really read 3F of hyv's terms of agreement…
Boycott: it's should not be like this
Mihoyo: who are you?, Why should we care?
They don't care about actual representation, you could have the most racist and down right horrendous representation but as long as the characters had melanin they would herald it as amazing representation
Who cares about some idiots from Twitter
So another „we like your culture (even your instruments) but we HATE the people who created and live with this culture“
Twitter user is just bunch of babies crying over the think they don't like but the masterpiece that they don't see, i saw one of the youtuber even saying something like that. I'm glad i delete it
Cry louder
They should just stop playing honestly😮💨
Can I rant a little here? Just a little bit, this just seems so dumb to me, and this has been going on for so long…
Like, I didn't even know, but thanks to this video today I learnt that they're using traditional instruments from my country!
Heck, I'm not particularly patriotic, but I see those instruments there I kinda wanna side elbow someone and say: "See that? That's from my country!"
The thing is though, I'm asian-looking. In my family alone there are latinos, caucasian and asians. And sure, not everyone here has that mix in their families, but it's absolutely normal to see diverse people in here. It seems (to me) incredibly (and ironically) racist to just say that Hoyo is being racist, because there aren't characters with a specific skin-tone for a FANTASY COUNTRY (because yes, contrary to what some people believe, Natlan isn't real! They can have whatever skin color they want and it would be ok!)
Like, come on. Even then, at the end of the day Hoyo can make whatever they want with their game; it's theirs. Are you telling me that if, I don't know, create a game or write a book or something, and I want to make reference to a specific culture in naming some characters in their honor, I have to ALSO include accurate historical events and specific details about their culture or then I get cancelled? I understand not buying or whatnot but actually boycotting, because someone doesn't make a reference in exactly the way you want, on a work that's not even yours?
Just let me enjoy Genshin without drama, please…
Skin color isn't even culture in the first place. If it was, then white and pale people that are south Africa can f off, right? Since white people can't exist in south Africa? It's really getting annoying. Their idiocy is making my head hurt and I usually don't get annoyed
1- (Skin color and culture)
Like I said originally, skin color is not in fact culture. What makes up a culture is history, clothing, food, music, land, etc etc. If skin color was culture, then white south Africans wouldn't be apart of that culture. But they are because that is their culture and that is where they were born and grew up at. You guys should really get it into your thick heads. I personally would love more diversity in skin color myself but I'm not going to riot about it because it's fiction and not based on real life. And that brings me to my second point
2-(Fiction and reality)
The entire world of teyvat is fiction. It's not real life and never will be. They just take inspiration from different cultures and adds it into the game. Never once had they stated they will make the world of teyvat into the real world. The reason fiction was created, was to separate yourself from reality. To have fun. To make silly things up or even create your own world. Please separate fiction from reality.
3-(Racism)
You guys are using racism in the wrong sense. Hoyo is not in fact racist. They are Chinese. In China, many Chinese people are used to seeing white and pale skin colors. Hoyo is also used to this. Therefore, making every character white because that is a beauty standard within China. Not to mention that they prefer white and pale skin colors. They are not racist in the slightest
4-(Every culture in teyvat)
There are many cultures that they didn't represent correctly. Not even their own, yet you guys complain about Natlan and Sumeru because what? Fountain, based off of France… culture not represented correctly. The city of Freedom (forgit how to spell because I'm to tired), based on Germany (literally)… culture not represented correct. Not even liyue, the city based on their culture, is not even represented correctly. Yet, you guys complain about Sumeru and Natlan… Talk about being biased…
5-(Difference between CN and EN)
They make more money off of the CN community more then the EN community. So they'll make things in their standard rather then EN standard. And before anyone says that cn is also complaining… check again because they aren't. In fact, on the Chinese Twitter (aka bilibili), they are mocking the EN community completely because you guys are crying over skin color. Which is hilarious because skin color doesn't really matter in the first place. Anyways, that is why hoyo won't make any changes. Because of the CN community
6-(The boycott)
If you thought being mocked by the CN community was hilarious, you guys are also being mocked by hoyo. Surprise surprise!! The more you know. Boycotting. To stop supporting something by having nothing to do with it. But the En community loves genshin. And cannot stop playing their precious little game. So instead of being mature and smart by not playing genshin at all… they instead go f2p… which won't work at all because like I said in one of my points, the CN community pays hoyo more, so EN going f2p won't do anything… literally. Also, the people boycotting is only 0.1% of the genshin community population, so boycotting won't do anything
(At least CN can boycott properly…)
Anyways, if anyone else has points they would like to add, go ahead. I am to tired to type all of my points. Thanks for reading all the way through I guess🥱
Its a fucking GAME!
