[@RTheStoryteller7]

What's even stupider is that, after the Game Awards fiasco, Sonic Frontiers got another chance to win another award on The Steam Awards with their musics getting nominated. They made another push just like TGA, but less agressive this time. And the result is.... they lost to Final Fantasy VII: Remake, a game that was released in 2020 that just got ported on Steam that year. Which in my opinion, it's far more insulting than Genshin because at least Genshin still have monthly updates and going strong during that year. It's safe to say, Sonic Fandom will have a huge *grudge* against Genshin fandom for a while now, but as a fan of both sides? i can't help but laugh

[@Syiepherze]

I'm a member of both fandoms, and it really sucked to see both communities warring over something so trivial. Like, most Sonic fans really liked Frontiers, because it really felt like a step in the right direction for the future of Sonic games. It's not a perfect game, but it still does a lot of things right, so we enjoyed it. Like aside from the insane soundtrack, the storyline was cool (it was co-written by a long-time writer for the Sonic comics), the character writing felt solid, and the open-world-style gameplay felt fresh (and when combined with the ability to play as different characters in the new DLC, it was like a spiritual successor to the Sonic Adventure games) So understandably Sonic fans like myself were very passionate about the game and are hopeful for the franchise's future. But the Sonic Sweep thing did go too far. I just hope there isn't any bad blood between us fandoms anymore lol

[@DrCrimson_]

Yea, people on both sides started taking it too seriously and too far.

[@ishinomorileon]

Actually, what Sonicsweep did was something worse and I'd think to this day they had left a huge deal of bad blood, at least on China side. The racial slurr thing? It was done on a very very bad timing. During that time, they had a, allegedly, respectable leader recently passed away. And the country was mourning solemnly. With the insults throwing at their internet at the time, this triggered a massive nationalistic, patriotic movement from them. To them, the retaliation is a patriotic duty because they felt that they were attacked by the White imperialists (well, that and highschool kids don't have anything to do during the impromptu dayoffs given nationwide at the time). Now, never underestimate their capability for grudges and hate when you offend their ego, especially when it comes to their nationalitic pride. They can be worse than 4chan when triggered.

[@alilith3476]

Same. I voted for Sonic Frontiers over Genshin just because I wanted Sonic to get a win, it’s been a while and I’m in both fandoms. It seriously sucked. Plus when it was happening, I knew that Sonic was gonna lose because they wouldn’t be quiet. I knew the Genshin fandom didn’t care, barely any knew about it until the toxic Sonic fans started saying stuff. It’s so sad.

[@WarsunGames]

I am not a fan of either. So i am impartial. Genshin Impact should not have even been on the list. It was not a Game for 2022. Also Even if people voted for Genshin. It would not have won. It was in no way as fan as Sonic Frontiers. It just proves sometimes you do need a judge.

probably because, like you said, "just chilling" you guys were content at just letting it play out since there was nothing to prove or point out. gamers just being gamers (apart from just throwing shit at each other) but the moment the toxic side of the Sonic Fandom struck, you know you just had to prove a point the point being that you shouldn't throw a rock at a giant and not expect the giant to throw an enormous rock at you in retaliation lol

Charlie called him out, and told everyone that he commit cuckoldry with a lot of women than his girlfriend. Also, he got karma, watching his girlfriend getting railed by other dudes.

[@Ren.3.10.11]

Unlike Sonic, Genshin didn't even mention about the voting event on their fb or twıtter, until the final result was announced, so the BRIBERY was HOAX. If they actually tried to make players vote, Genshin would have won since round 1. But no, most Genshin voters only knew about it after Sonic fans made the ruckus. The rewards were roughly the same amount of every after major updates, and you would get it whether Genshin won or lost (since it was already nominated), regardless you voted or not. Most Genshin voters simply wanted Sonic to lose.

[@airstyles1989]

That's the part many people, including Bran got wrong. If Genshin fan, with 60 million strong, even considered the possibility of getting primo from player's choice a possiblity, Genshin would've dominated the poll not from day 3, it would've been day one, potentially even minute 1.

[@SorarikoMotone]

exactly - most of the people literally didnt care about votes, and pretty much ignored the whole thing till sonic fans started boiling sh*t in the cauldron.

bribery was more about the 800 mere primors which was because the game was nominated not won meaning the genshin fandom didnt even have to continue voting to actually GET those primos

[@davethecat6494]

[@HectorCotto97]

As someone who was playing both Sonic Frontiers and Genshin Impact when this happened, I was both surprised and incredibly confused when I found out that out of nowhere there was some kind of beef going on between the fandoms. Personally I don't really care about any of those award shows nonsense so this honestly didn't even come close to bothering me. What DID bother me is the unreasonable hate towards Genshin, the blind haters is what annoys me so when those people don't get what they want it brings me a bit of satisfaction. I honestly love both games I really do, I just wish people didn't try to ruin them with stupid petty sh!t that has nothing to do with the games themselves. In my opinion one of the worst mistakes you can make is to judge a game or a show entirely based on the bad side of their fandom and not the game/show themselves for what they are. An example of this is Undertale, it's a genuinely a good game but if you ask around you'll more then likely hear more about the fandom then the game itself.

[@yaB0i_Hawkx]

Yeah, i mean if i poisened a bag of apples does that mean all bag of apples or apples in general is poisonous? No, you still know that the apple is eatable and taste good.

That woke up the Chinese Community, which violated a hidden rule in any voting-based game. And you do NOT wake up the Chinese Community. And another rule regarding China. Make a racist slur against China, and you will feel the wrath of the Patriots

[@يحيىوائلثجيل]

The sonic Fandom did the worst thing possible They poke the Beehive that's it's the Genshin Impact Community

[@Mayank_MJ]

Bee hive? It's the goddam megahive of murder hornets

[@angelichobi__18]

I had a vague idea of what was happening last year for the tga’s but I was too focused on finishing high school (which I graduated last year) to even care about it. It’s hilarious how the sonic fandom genuinely thought they had a chance when their community is 10x less than Genshin 💀

[@doctorwho3708]

As soneone was part of the community and watching it closely, Genshin really didnt do anything but vote and make memes. 'Salt for the Salt god' And that guy you thought was joking, it was halg joking and half serious. Like the Sonic community was the majority of the problem while the Genshin Communith didn't even fo it for the primos. We just wanted go humble Toxic Sonic 'fans'. We made up with the chill part of the Sonic fans and joke aboit it afterwards. And right now, I saw someone trying to start with Spider-man. So many people try to stop that right thsn and there by BOTH communtiy.

[@Lordmaster316]

whats wrong about what Bran said about "bribery" Genshin don't offer Primogems for winning award its just that when Genshin won an award for the 1st time they gave a reward so after that players kept thinking/wanting they will give rewards again if they won another reward so they vote Genshin for the reward

[@FadedStorms]

It is annoying when people say Genshin is anime loving pedifiles only and it is so annoying, I play casual

[@likeAflamingo-i2e]

Agreed. Like the story and lore is so interesting and yes i find characters such as Childe extremely attractive also fun because of riptide!

[@b.r.52]

I'm repeating my words on Mujin's post: "The Rule34 art from this clash was monstrous as well."

[@kingdomchains]

I got a lot of laughs from the war ngl like some sonic fans were being funny, the genshin fans were also being a lil funny

[@5h0ckblock]

For clarity, Squid is the name of a miniboss in Sonic Frontiers. Its kinda funny because when you first find it the camera zooms in and the word squid just pops up.

[@bobjones4469]

No way, if they didn't give a reward for winning, Genshin players would riot. Also, the devs didn't say, "Vote for us, if we win we'll give you primos," they said AFTER winnning, "Cool, we won, here's an appreciation reward." People didn't know they would get rewarded, although some may have expected it, and boy would they had been pissed if they didn't get rewarded.

[@alicebunnymera]

damn thats a lot of ableism against autistic people. So much of that video was just really uncomfortable to watch because of it.

[@ozzcoremidmx8287]

I think if Hoyoverse didn't give any primogems for the nomination (they gave primos for the nomination, not for winning tho) it would have been a bigger slap in the face to the Sonic Community.

[@ijustexist3866]

Genshin fans: *arguing with each other about who knows what* Toxic Sonic fans: *gets too cocky* Genshin fans: So you have chosen…death The people who has no idea what’s going on:…f%(k this sh!t I’m out!

[@pix763]

19:25 Mujin: Guys we finally jave a new band member joining us in Discord. Bran: *neurons activated*

[@gentlecard_tom]

okay from this point of view, Sonic Fans started the war. Genshin fans were just fighting back

[@matesquilos2915]

The worst part is this award is so quickly There is not even attention for this award on TGA Its like "and Genshin Impact won, congratilations! Next topic."

[@danielferrieri7434]

Genshin Impact Rule34: Chad Sonic Rule34: Virgin

[@lucci_1406]

04:23, nah, it was definitely Sonic mania bro

[@davinlee3412]

It's the Sonic Fandom that started it. I don't care of Genshin win or lose, but they're so toxic that everyone united and managed to give them the Elemental Burst with +9999999 Damage back on them.

[@spyrothetimelord]

I think that's the thing though, the community nor genshin themselves was bribing, players just highlighted "hey if we actually win we will definitely get thank you primos" because that's pretty consistent with how they operate. I wouldn't consider that bribery. Wondering if anyone will make a video about the back and forth with the Spider-Man fandom

[@spyrothetimelord]

You know what's funny is I wasn't really participating and only vaguely remember the "war". I only thought it was them beefing a little and jokingly, not like this. I recall CCs saying hey wait yo let's vote for genshin so we can get freemo gems! I literally told myself "I don't have to vote, the fandom is strong enough that I won't have to do anything" LOL. I also vaguely remember seeing people talking about how the votes were hidden, etc. 😂

[@bagel5056]

Yeah, is it really bribing when basically no one gave a shit about the award show until the Sonic fans got racist? Lol Literally no one voted until that happened so the freemos aren’t really a bribery ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@moxie6293]

People is so insane to see their favorates losing these days..

[@Azura_009]

As a sonic fan I never thought there was a war between genshin impact and sonic frontier's 😮

[@j4nk3n]

People forget that a community as large as genshin is bound to have its fair share of psychopaths, out of millions of people the odds say you can probably find every kind of weirdo in there somewhere!

[@wiseathena97]

Damn I was considering subbing to Mujin until I heard the weird shots against autism. Reminds me of a 15 year old trying to sound edgy by taking shots at people for having a disability. Gross

[@Razorrrrrrrrrrrr]

We as the Genshin community seem to basically have the combined power of the entire swifty and Army fanbases, a force powerful enough to topple the government and billion dollar companys within 24 hours x

[@XMitrilXPL]

Considering that Genshin Impact is constantly updated with new content, I think it should have been in the player's award And these content updates aren't small. They are getting big maps and stories. So I think that games like that should be included and it would be unfair to not do so.

[@jadeyumol4811]

The character development of bran, from hating the band members to loving them, im so we- i mean moved , yes yes, moved

[@AHandleWithCare]

5 days late, but the bribery accusation is what put me into the war lmao. I remember linking to people that Genshin has lost awards in the past and gave out primos anyways. Winning doesn't matter.

[@ShogunWay]

Do Sonic fans even know where SONIC CAME FROM😂😂

[@kickbackph8020]

Didn't really expect to see FeFe being part of sonicsweep tbh

[@ceegae1670]

People of both fandom threatening eachother left and right was the funniest thing I’ve witnessed this year 😂😂😂

[@squee-g1658]

Unleashed was goated. Hot take: the warehog was fun Also I’m still surprised/disappointed there were no fanart of traveler,paimon,sonic and chip having lunch and hanging out or something

[@-libertyprimev1-902]

6:12 - I still love how through all the usual toxic Game Award bs, you just had the Xenoblade Community congratulating themselves on one of their games actually being released at the right time to be included for nomination... Didn't care if we won, just happy to be there in the first place and watched all the other insanity munching Popcorn on the sidelines.

[@Peeeeeeeeepooooooooo]

This reminds me of the mulan movie scene: NOW ALL OF CHINA KNOWS YOUR HERE

[@goldenpain18]

as far as i remember hoyoverse never said : " we will give 800 primos to all traveler if we win the awards " and btw the guy on the video (GorTheMovieGod) do a reaction video on it lol

[@jacelt7353]

10:36 aether: rally the troops childe Childe: yes sir!

[@Koiiifish]

I feel like people often forget that these are just games.

[@AmethystLeslie]

A thing that video failed to mention was that Scarmouche was coming soon, so that was another motivator to earn Primos. Least, that's how I saw it. Also, probably the funniest thing was the outcome to this. The letter that gave us the 800 Primos was about being nominated for the award. Not for WINNING it, only NOMINATED.

[@zikenn1846]

That game awards was the funniest thing I've seen in 2022. I wonder what will happen this year with Star Rail😂

[@wayelee2000]

i dont even play genshin but sonic fans are actually so immature wtf

[@Zeronichi]

can't wait for this year for Sonic Superstars vs Honkai: Star Rail

[@kunii.k_]

funny how I'm in both the genshin fandom AND the sonic fandom- ngl I don't even remember this whole thing with sonic vs genshin happening 😭😭

[@ajseal81]

I remember playing genshin and getting so much rewards for winning the vote and the PlayStation. I was like cool, free primogems. I had no idea some things like this was happening.

[@nevembra9850]

I love this video from Mujin cause it's so fun and chaotic and I remember this but I didn't know just bad it got 😂 4:55 you are correct it was Sonic and the video for those wondering is Nux Takus game show

[@JunoEcho]

Love how i get an ad for Honkai Star Rail with Bran as soon as i click the video (fun fact i was just playing it before taking a break to watch yt😂)

[@adhyawhan]

Most players actually didn't care about the award but the Sonic community asked for it.

[@yuki97kira]

Idk it was happening as well, it was just like the congratulating meme from the office(?). That was me when i got primos

[@somelove9872]

The one time when Genshin community was innocent until they were provoked
