Dish Reacts to Genshin 5.0 Livestream | Genshin Impact

[@dishdaily]

okay, last edit on this pinned message: a lot of non-regular twitch viewers join twitch streams on livestream days and that can sometimes lead to a chaotic environment, and it definitely did in this controversial livestream day where I also had a mix of opinions. So while many of the topics were worth discussing, the tone / manner of speech of many chatters is not the type that I am proud of. Ultimately I would rather not broadcast that hyper-negative attitude on one of my channels, that's why it has been covered! I'm also aware that a lot of you will not agree with my perspective on a lot of points, and I am fine with that! i've responded to a few important ones but probably won't be past this point. Feel free to discuss in comments but KEEP IT RESPECTFUL. TY.

[@Cinderteleon]

In the livestream i was like “guys let’s try to summon dish” and stay up all night to see this livestream cause i was so excited ❤❤❤❤❤I love how incredible you are Dish

The Kiswahili singing will never not make me emotional, as an African living in a country where that's all they speak I really was shaken they did that. Best patch fr.

[@vexxobex7333]

Bro the music was unironically the best part of the stream, everything about it, the chorus, the instruments even the lyrics, they sound so heroic like they really would sing for an accient hero. They always do such a good job with their music, you can always feel the passion hoyo has for their games in their music. I could glaze this musical performance even more if i wanted to cause it really sends shivers down my spine. Big clap for everyone performing in it and to hoyo for making these masterpieces come true. Hope we will hear more of these performances while natlan.

[@madara5458]

Kenya or tanzania? I think that those two countries are the only ones with widespread kiswahili speaking. It's alot more ground in tanzania coz they literally learn math, science and other languages using swahili while Kenya has a blend of both kiswahili and english

It wasn't even boring. The conversations were either informative or entertaining, never dull. Unless of course they are a bunch of lesser tiktok addicts who make flies seem like the most attentive thing alive.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

I thought it was a good livestream. It was interesting to me, tbh. I watched it before coming to see how others reacted to it and I thought it was pretty interesting and the music at the end popped OFF. The fact they had people singing in Swahili (?). It was majestic and I had shivers down my spine! Plus, I think chat are all probably self diagnosed with ADHD, but the reality is that they are just... not that smart and probably too impatient. It's like no one has any patience anymore and watch too many short things like tiktok and KZbin shorts. They can't comprehend anything that's more than 10 minutes long, I swear. Then they ask stupid questions that were already answered in the livestream, but due to having selective hearing and goldfish level attention spans, they missed it. Chatters can be really stupid, I swear. That's why I never catch streams. I just watch videos when they come to KZbin or I'd probably start snapping at those people. (I know I shouldn't get so mad, but the fact they act so entitled and impatient just rubs me the wrong way.)

Agree! Def was not boring. As usual on livestream days, chat expands far beyond the regular community (aka lots of people who don't normally watch twitch join in just for the event) so the vibes were definitely off. It's on me though, for not limiting chat earlier when I noticed things getting a bit...😵‍💫

[@aleistere]

People are quick to jump into their own conclusions because of their own personal biases so much so, that they are blinded to the truth that's right in front of their noses. People glossed over the fact that you can extract points on any leveled artifact because they saw it in the BP. I swear this community "hates" it when people spend money on this game.

Yeah, and especially since long-time players might have quite a few "good enough" artifacts that actually have a really bad substat set rolls, it's relatively easy to obtain.

i always loved dish's genshin content and her channel was the first one that i checked for a reaction. but holy shit that stream was annoying as hell. the chat acts like we point a gun to their head to play this game. everything felt so forced and everyone was soooo negative despite many good news. this is a FREE game and you don't have to play it if you don't like it. and the company does not owe you shit. yes we're all pissed at the lack of dark skin characters but this is a chinese company and u know their culture and how obsessed they are with being white. i get it but they represent everything else so well. that symphony was incredible but people who complain the most about inclusivity were the most disrespectful ones while REAL people were on screen performing cultural content. if u don't enjoy the game just don't play and don't watch the livestream. it seems like dish's community is now just looking for something to hate on.

[@WonderStarz]

People being lowkey racist during the orchestra was so sad to experience, not just Dish's chat but every cc, the disrespect calling them wakanda and stuff, people showing their real colors isn't that ironc?, also, I don't believe a singular person actually cares about representation when they act like buffoons irl, only want to instigate hate, and revolt just for the sake of it, yes the game could include more dark skinned playable characters, but who cares is just a game and making something so irrelevant as a skin color in a fictional character makes me think people are so stranded from reality and the real world problems, we should separate fiction from real world, believe me makes things more enjoyable

[@risha-mehanse4082]

These people don't realize that they think being is racist to others - there are alot of people that can be but not everyone- then it's okay that these people can be racist to hoyo and others? Like when I heard the bingo card I just skipped the rewards part cause I couldn't watch this stream cause I really love dish but those people in the chat ruined it for me. I'm not saying players can't ask for things they would love to see. I'm African, I'm not like those in tribes so I can't relate to the people in Nathan. BUT South Africa where am I from have different cultures. We have white;brown,black,Italian,Muslim even Asian cultures here and everyone has their own things! And its BEAUTIFUL!! That's why we are called the Rainbow nation. Yeah we are FAR from fucking perfect but those people in the chat are gross. If you find hoyo boring,if you want other things that other games like WUWA or ZZZ or HSR has then go there if genshin does not make you happy anymore But being actually rude,disrespectful and actually Racist then you're wrong

[@newbie4789]

I do think that they're doing everything else pretty well in terms of representations. They really just had a Kiswahili song as their main theme... It's amazing. And people with some understanding of China's geopolitics and cultural interests will easily recognise the difficulties for Hoyo to simply release dark skinned characters. At the end of the day, the business needs to survive and the biggest market needs to be satisfied. You simply take the Skin colour part out of the equation and you won't find much more issues with Natlan representation

[@risha-mehanse4082]

@@newbie4789 some people can't see it that way, yes it's a really not a good thing not to be able to release much darker skin playable characters. Cause pretty standards in China and other places are different and hoyo is really trying to bring other details of different cultures in other ways but they're making like genshin is so awful. Yes people can be upset but not up to appoint where they're being actually mean.

[@Morkins324]

Some additional clarification about the Capturing Radiance. They have clarified that if you get the Rate Up character via Capturing Radiance it resets you to 0 regarding the guarantee. The statement about "not interfering with the guarantee" was simply a poorly worded way of indicating that the guarantee system still exists and isn't being replaced with this new system. This new system is basically just an automatic reroll that occurs when you lose a 50/50. The net effect of it is just that the rate for 5 Star Characters when you don't have a guarantee is 55/45 instead of 50/50. Mechanically, the way that it functions is that you roll a 50/50, lose the 50/50, THEN AND ONLY THEN the system rolls a 1/10 to see if Capturing Radiance will trigger. If you win the 50/50, then Capturing Radiance won't even trigger to do the 1/10 reroll. When you lose the 50/50, the system will trigger a 1/10 reroll which will trigger a special "Capturing Radiance" animation when you win the 1/10. Capturing Radiance will convert your lost 50/50 into a win, giving you the Rate Up 5 Star character. If you lose the 1/10, Capturing Radiance will not trigger and you will be considered as having "lost" the 50/50, giving you a guarantee on your next 5 Star Character. Getting the 5 Star Character, whether by winning the 50/50, triggering Capturing Radiance, or having a guarantee, will reset any guarantee that you might have. In practice, simply think of it as a 5% increase in the likelihood of getting a Rate Up 5 Star. The entire special animation and "Capturing Radiance" system is basically just convoluted branding and psychological manipulation. It is them specifically showing IN GAME when the extra 5% rate is what made you get the character. The banner is effectively 50% Win, 45% Lose, 5% Win with Fancy Animation. Beyond that, how it is mechanically functioning in the backend is not actually relevant to players. It is not practically any different than if they had simply said "The Rate Up banner is now a 55/45 instead of a 50/50."

[@bestieawesomeness]

is the chances of it triggering truly that low? I was expecting at least 25% now I'm just sad T-T BUT the weapon banner is not a total scam now so ill take it!

[@zynaezria4353]

[@ClownDollThatHasContemptForYou]

The way Capturing radiance works from what I understood so far is that , in a 50/50, if you lose the 50/50, there is a second calculation that occurs that's 10/90 in terms of chances, this means that each 50/50 from now on becomes a 55/45, if you win it you just get the limited 5*, if you lose it, and you win the capturing radiance calculation,you get the limited 5* ,if you lose both, you get a standard 5*. Because of how this works, some people have been wondering if losing the 50/50 but getting the capturing radiance event (as in winning the 10/90) means that you still get a guarantee because technically you lose your 50/50,it sounds believable because the chance of that happening is very low,but it's probably not? we'll see. Edit: it's been clarified that getting the capturing radiance event will reset your pity.

[@jonathanrobinson198]

I feel like people don’t consider the possibility that Hoyo employees don’t have anything against more color, but that doesn’t change the fact they live in a country that does and are surrounded by a community that has called their government to try and ruin the company for far less controversial issues. Like I wouldn’t be surprised if maybe there’s a few bad eggs in the company, but this is also the same company that dances lightly with lgbt stuff in their games while maintaining plausible deniability. I just think it’s 10 times harder to do that with skin tone for obvious reasons. They aren’t a western company with the exact same consequences and freedom to make certain things as they please. I would love more people that look like me but I get that it’s probably not as simple or as safe to do so.

[@persephonehades7547]

Considering live action Mulan was shot right by a "re-education camp" where they take non-CN citizens and strip them of their religious and/or indigenous cultures, it's kinda like asking for representation in a company from...1920s-1940s Germany? 1800s-early to mid 1900s USA? Add in Hoyo being considered legally by the CN gov as a "cultural export," Da Wei or one of the devs having to be part of the gov because of how big their company got, etc, and yeah. They might be technologically the same as other countries, but they are very much behind by at least a hundred to two hundred years in term of civil law and education there.

[@Hy-BridAbroad]

THANK YOU. My only assumption could be that she viewed that very first NPC as a white person, which is interesting because his skin color looked way closer to Polynesian/American indigenous than the vast majority of the odd blackwashing fan arts that I've seen on social media. For whatever reason, people seem to have the impression that Natlan is based solely on Africa when it is clearly not as evidenced by the names of many characters.

[@staryxmoonlit]

@@Hy-BridAbroad The main problem I have with the characters, or rather one character in particular, is that when you make a character based off of a nigerian deity (olorun, or ororon as they named him in genshin) that people still worship to this day white, it’s kinda crossing the line. I can understand that cultures don’t necessarily have a specific skin tone a lot of the time, disrespecting a god people worship (not me personally) to this day is kinda crazy, but not much we can do about it I suppose, still think it sucks tho. but yes white skin =/= equal white by ethnicity

[@crayolinnn]

​@@Hy-BridAbroadI also assumed that at first but nope. She actually missed the beginning of the trailer entirely up until Kinich's showcase. Plus she would've marked it on the bingo card instantly after. *_Instead, however_* , she marked it off in the middle of the stream with a bunch of other prompts at once. I'd assume, and my main theory, is that when the people of the three tribes were shown, they were more white than she wanted. And she just equated it to one of them having dreads/locs or something. Which isn't true. I looked at both tribe video and there's none.

@@staryxmoonlit I mean, there are anime out there that absolutely wreck the integrity of famous, real figures in other culture. Remember Ya Boy Kongming? I mean...they turned one of the greatest war strategists of all history into a guy who lewds after a cute singer at a bar and thirst for her with drool on his lips. i get it, it's not skin tone, but it's the same thing. it's a total bastardization of something that actually exists. Media and fiction will always play around with "names" and figures. Especially deities. Gods of all cultures have been genderbent and race changed millions of times, people play around with that stuff all the time. Personally, I don't know why it's a big deal that a video game took the name of a real deity and made it look however they wanted. This happens all the time.

i'm so excited for natlan! i was feeling very meh at first, but after this stream i can feel my hyperfixation coming back lol. those baby saurians look so cuuute, music is PEAK, and looks like we might be getting quite a bit of abyss lore as for the more controversial stuff, i have lots of thoughts so sorry for the long ramble and this is just /my/ opinion obviously everyone will feel differently i'm Mexican and when i heard Natlan had Aztec and Mayan inspo i was so excited. but also a lil concerned on how they would mesh the two together plus whatever other culture they were grabbing. after the trailer and concert, i cant wait for patch to drop, i can already tell ill have such a blast exploring my biggest concern was that they would go the stereotype route of apply sepia filter, less developed /everything/, lazy, and dangerous representation we so often get in movies. i'm so tired of telling people im visiting my parents in Mexico and them asking if im not scared to live there, or 'jokingly' telling me not to drink the water seeing the more modern twist and color splashes all over made me so happy. the feathers and bright colors remind me of the very bright colorful older neighborhoods in central Mexico (ive also seen them in coastal Chile so probs not just a Mexican thing but i hate speaking for other latino countries when idk for sure). as far as characters go, i like most of them, but mostly waiting until we see their backstories and personalities. i think im mostly looking forward to the pink haired girl and kinich (and capitano lmao) tbh, i never thought we would get characters with darker tan (moreno+) skin tones. cant be disappointed if you dont hope and all that... maybe because of the pretty bad colorism issue in Mexico and other latino countries. i'm used to not seeing lots of diverse skintones in my own local media, so didn't expect it from a foreign country either. 'growing up, any 90s-00s telenovelas and local programming would have actors with pale skin, maaaaybe light tan, dark hair and hazel/green/blue eyes. all mostly Mexican or maybe latino actors/actresses, but still ones with obviously more Spanish than indigenous traits. from what I've heard, south east Asia is just as bad if not worse with their beauty standards/colorism so i just couldn't see it, especially in a 'pretty anime game'. obviously, i would still love it if they did end up adding more obviously POC playable characters because i really do think representation is important and we can all benefit from seeing more diverse casts in media. but i most admit i also dont have lots of energy by keeping myself angry over it. hoyoverse would need to do something affecting the real world for me to put energy towards a boycott (like funding warcrimes or 'hiring' foreign workers and not paying them fairly) i can see why some people do care, but i just personally dont have leftover energy after getting home from work to care too deeply over the game i use to destress with. for the people that do care tho, all the more power to you and i truly seriously hope that hoyoverse takes more steps towards a better, more diverse game

[@ozone8839]

I think the whole skin colour thing is an interesting situation. While I would absolutely love more representation and variety in Genshin in this way, I don’t know if I feel like the outrage directed at Hoyoverse over this is justified. I remember the conversation about skin colour being mentioned all the way back in Liyue and Inazuma. Sumeru was where it really became prominent and then naturally Natlan seems to be getting the most heat over this given its inspiration, no pun intended 😉 In my mind Teyvat is a fictional world that can draw as much, or as little inspiration from real world cultures as it likes. Music is incredible and does the most in this sense. World design is a close second. Skin colour is nonexistent in this sense. Hoyoverse have remained consistent in keeping all their characters varying shades of white / lightly tan in their skin tone, and I think as long as they remain consistent with their fictional world / character design in this aspect, I don’t see a problem or secondary negative motive from Hoyoverse to choose this design path.

[@staryxmoonlit]

The main problem I have with the characters, or rather one character in particular, is that when you make a character based off of a nigerian deity (olorun, or ororon as they named him in genshin) that people still worship to this day white, it’s kinda crossing the line. I can understand that cultures don’t necessarily have a specific skin tone a lot of the time, disrespecting a god people worship (not me personally) to this day is kinda crazy, but not much we can do about it I suppose, still think it sucks tho

[@ozone8839]

@@staryxmoonlit I can understand that, it’s definitely a puzzling decision by Hoyoverse to make everyone white. My best guess is the Chinese consumer base is driving this decision. I’m pretty sure the names are just that though. They might take inspiration from the culture, but I don’t think Olorun / Ororun in Genshin is actually a god or Claiming to be a Nigerian deity. Seems like they’re just a Natlan native with a vision. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think Olorun has a gender, race, or any physical characteristics in the Yoruba religion either. My question I guess is, would you rather their names be generic white person names? I feel like that would be even more insulting given they’re all based in Natlan? I feel like this is such a tricky situation because it sounds like people are saying, you either represent all of a culture in a fantasy world or non of it. Which sounds ridiculous to me and actually more damaging to representation. I wouldn’t want fantasy authors down the line to feel like they have to omit all cultural representation in any form because they worried about the backlash because they missed something out somewhere in their fictional fantasy representation of something. I want to see fictional worlds of steampunk old England with only black and POC characters. That would be really cool and I don’t think people should get angry at that. The only time I feel the anger is justified is if the cultural inspiration is being made fun of / mocked.

Imma be real, the one nickpick throughout this whole video is how Dish is borderline Qanon in regards to finding something from the devs' lines in regards to the past month's controversies. The disclaimer at the bottom right at the beginning, absolutely, yeah, but everything else, like the trailer around 1:14:20, and apparently the devs "vague-posting" about their "hidden feelings" in the livestream? Nah... The 3rd anniversary back in the 3.1 livestream, now that, with what the devs talked about and the upcoming firestorm, now that was a real "yeah, we're gonna be cooked" I will say, a reminder that Mihoyo is not a public company, the ones with the biggest say in the company is still the founders, the big 3, Cai Haoyu, Liu Wei (Da Wei) and Luo Yuhao. (Cai Haoyu merely gave his position as head of the board of directors to Da Wei late 2023) So if the dubious theory that I keep seeing online about there being some shadow-cabal department in Mihoyo that's "banning Mihoyo character designers from creating dark-skinned character designs" is true, the 3 founders have the most say, with Da Wei being "the most". So do with that as you will. Meanwhile, I do not doubt that the designs we got were the ones the designers had in mind.

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

I like the designs as they are. I understand that people want darker skinned characters and I can see where they're coming from, like I get it... But tbh, the designs are honestly fine objectively, like theya re pretty solid designs and look fun too! If people don't like it, they can just make an OC or something. Lmao!

BBC - "Qanon: What is it and where did it comes from?" QAnon emerged on 4chan in 2017, when an anonymous poster known as “Q,” believed by Qanon followers to be a team of U.S. government and military insiders, began posting cryptic messages online about Trump’s alleged efforts to takedown the Deep State online."

My uncle used to tell me, Don, let me tell you about something, never drink kombucha. CAUSE CROOKED HILLARY likes kombucha. She likes it so much. Kombucha tastes bad, I don't like it. Am I right folks?" Then the Qanon people would go like "Ah yes, kombucha here actually means illegal immigrants, so Hillary Clinton wants to bring in millions of illegals into our country!" and then they'll find some even more insane connection to the "coffee" mention that I couldn't possibly think of in this hypothetical of mine.
