[@ChimeraLotietheBunny]

ahh

[@billyfraiser6298]

No... the problem is that the game is so immensely popular (tens of MILLIONS of players), that it gets all facets of human beings in the community. And as we all know, there are amazing people and terrible people in this world. It has NOTHING to do with the game itself. You could take ANYTHING in the world, and if tens of millions of people are part of the community.... there is going to be nastiness in that community. What I find sad, are videos like this, that like to focus only on the negative. I find it sad when people only focus on the negative. The negativity in the genshin community is only made up of less than 1% of the players..... yet people want to say the ENTIRE community is terrible. THOSE are the real sad people.

What happened?

[@Karma_09420]

@euweough1344 There's a character called Lyney, and the corean community started hating him because they thought he was a girl, so in his promocional video in corean, he got like 100k dislikes (I think so) and hate comments. Also, in the chinese New Year, they only gave us 3 wishes, which is, tbh, completely trash. Also, the video didn't mention a VA named Elliot Ghindi (tighnari's voice) that blackmailed and abused minors. He got replaced by another one, but I don't know what happened to him. Probably in prison or smth.

lets be honest here, the company themself are at fault too, its because how these gacha devs turn a human bad. Don't blame it is because of "the community is big so it has bad sides".

I have gotten a better relationship with my sister and learned what I value in people. By looking into what characters i like the most and the ones i don't like and then thinking about why i think that way, i have gotten more familiar to my own standards. This has actually helped me irl too! The game is really fun and i do reccomend it. And also, videogames never made me dumb.

@@sirius767lol kid I’ve literally been inspired by characters in games and media alike, and can find your cringe relatable to your own in a way, but except when I was you age I was slamming banjo kazooie, or playing MW2 on a glass television when I wasn’t playing FF7. I digress though while you have been changed for the better by this game, and it’s characters. Not everyone derives these experiences from the game, and are anime addicted cringe lords that can’t feel the reality tangibly in they’re fingers, like those kids who would take cards to steal they’re parents credit cards too buy skins. Etc, but anime pedo freaks are like the bottom of the barrel in anime society, and it took me quite a while to take the problem somewhat seriously. I also needed more time for my brain to mature too the point where I could see both sides of the arguments, and while I agree, no one’s being hurt in these pictures cause they aren’t even real in the first place, but who they actually hurt are already damaged people with low social skills or other disorders that have chances to be normal but fall into terrible yucky fandoms that overly, and overtly accept the strangest individuals. While that’s a hard metaphorical pill too swallow, it’s problem is very real. So I say to you young one that 13 is a fine age to start throwing your hat into the ring, will definitely help you become a smart man testing your belief against even the most ridiculous of arguments. Joke or no, the old saying more pressure and constant reforging only make a stronger temper.

As someone who regularly visits fans communities online (but rarely engages in actual conversation with them), I wouldn't say it's most of the fans, on the contrary, most of them would absolutely disapprove of the actions of bad apples and wouldn't want the whole community to be associated with them. They're only bad apples, after all, but the negative *impact* (pun not intended) they can have on the game's community as a whole will never be seen for what it actually is.

This has been a thing since the beginning of time. Trying to paint Genshin as the only toxic fanbase ever is just a blatant lie. I remember the lead actor of Teen Wolf getting death threats sent to him. The male actors of Once Upon a Time getting death threats sent to their children. The whole incident of the fanartist who was given a cupcake with glass in it. Or the Legend of Korra harassment campaigns against anyone who dared to not like the "correct ship". The internet is full of toxic people who do stuff because they can and they can get away with it. Genshin was not the first and will not be the last and stating so is disingenuous at best.

To me, I think the fandom has so many "bad apples" because of the game's appeal to people who felt really lonely and isolated over COVID. Personally, I found the game to be an amazing escape during the pandemic, and I think that a lot of others did as well. That being said, it is so sad to see how so many people are losing common sense and social skills/respect because of their unhealthy addiction to the game even as things have opened back up. A lot of us found it as a great form of escapism (and still do), but those that have made it their entire lives and consume it to an unhealthy extent are the ones that we are seeing acting out and behaving inappropriately. There should be a clear distinction between having differing opinions on a game and one's real life/online actions. I hope the fandom can do better moving forward, but for now, I have chosen to distance myself from other fans besides my close friends.

[@tusharrathore6330]

Yeah I can kinda understand, i once said " i don't like raiden shogun" in a post which was asking "tell us your least favourite character".

[@cocogoat3592]

I’ve been playing since covid and as you said, it was a great escape and still is. I consume a lot of genshin content because I like the inside jokes and the sense of community we all have. When horrible things like this happen I’m just utterly disgusted by it. those cats nor va’s didn’t deserve how they were treated at all. It’s just so disappointing seeing a solid game being destroyed by its community. I totally agree that these players have an unhealthy obsession with the game oml. Also, they hate wanderer for being a supposed war criminal but what about the traveller or Klee? (Spoilers just incase)The traveller goes against the raiden shogun and the sumeru scholars and there’s no hate to them? Probably because they chose lumine and they love girls. And klee- she drops bombs like no tomorrow so why no hate? Because she’s a girl as well as a child. They hated wanderer because of his attitude as well, saying they felt offended with how rudely he acted towards the traveller. What they did to those cats though was utterly disgusting. Hoyoverse itself is so blind to so many things involving the game and I really hate how they don’t listen to recommendations from the community and just sit there like stunned mullet. They rlly need to address these topics and set some rules or just do SOMETHING to put the players in their place. They also don’t pay the English va’s on time.

In my case though, I’m glad I’m in the good part, which I’m sure is the larger, more quiet part of this community. Throughout the years I’ve met others who play the same game, went to local conventions where so many cosplayers of the beloved characters go to, and I had much fun. I never really tune or participate into the online parts of my interests, simply because I have nothing to do with that. I enjoy the game as it is, because it’s simply fun. If you or another person don’t like it, that doesn’t matter because it has nothing to do with me. Everyone dislikes something. I get that the game has gone through much controversy throughout its time, and that’s most likely because of its sudden explosion of popularity, too much to contain for the growing company at that time. Although it’s a bit annoying to see others have some big opinion on something they only heard of, I guess that doesn’t matter since we should remember that we’re on the internet… That brings me to this video, I guess. To let you know I don’t plan to watch it fully, based on the timestamps I can tell what’s it about. I hope the person behind this channel understands that this isn’t the only thing about this game. It’s something much more, although personal. As I’ve said before I don’t care if others hate on the game. I’ll continue playing at my own pace, as I’ve always been because it’s simply just my hobby.

I love Genshin Impact and all since it's been one of my favorite games for years but I'm sure the info in this video will be 100% accurate. This is why I play alone so I don't deal with toxic players who talk trash to you and act like they're better than everyone. Their debates regarding some ships that we love or hate are so meaningless and they are never beneficial at all. I genuinely feel bad for the good Genshin players who are never this way. I can't wait to see you getting a lot of things about the Genshin fanbase off your chest.

My rule of thumb is that if a fandom is toxic, the media itself is likely pretty good and worth trying. As a player myself I can safely say that this game is best enjoyed in a bubble with as little fandom interaction as possible. 😂

I was playing Genshin as I heard all of this and was quite shocked, honestly. I mean, I was aware many people hated it because of the community ruining the game (said by friends and classmates for example). But... never expected for some things to be that bad actually. I never had any bad experiences in the game before, as I only met nice people in the game and met friends over there within a few years. But didn't know that some people would go as far just for cutouts and wings to flood a place...

[@legendaryhuntertutorialsti6713]

Not only that, but the toxic part isn't even the biggest, stop acting all hollier than thou and get off your high horse, seriously. It's the vocal minority that mostly comes from twitter (and KZbin) that makes the community unbearable..... But the community inside of Genshin's is literally so chill and extremely eager to help anyone and everyone, it's crazy....

This has nothing to with the video, really, but people just like to toss in "think of the children" to fuel fires and I'm tired of it.

[@viablue8143]

I try to stay away from “that” part of the community so much.. but sometimes it’s hard. I’ve already met a toxic player, who was nice at first, but they revealed their colours rather quickly later. It was quite sad to see. And so many more have been popping up lately. It’s so sad. This is such a beautiful and relaxing game. It’s not hard to play (and I say that not as a pro gamer with a NASA pc, but as a fairly bad player with skill issues and a laggy laptops), it’s not competitive, so there’s really no reason for people to be so toxic about what others choose to play. Yet all too often, choosing a “trash” character will get you bullied in co-op. And then there’s the forever fight about whose waifu is better. Whose ship is better. And how every two character of the same gender who does as much as have 2 sentences with each other are canonically a couple, and if you don’t agree then you’re a homophobic hater. It’s so tiring. I don’t understand why so many people in this community can’t understand that opinions are opinions, they’re not canon, and not any less valid than the opinions of another. Quite frankly I think a lot of people are just using “canon” to make their ships sound more valid, without understanding what it actually means for something to be canon in a story. It’s not all bad, though. Most people are still normal and nice, even if you disagree with each other. Personally, I even made a friend too. We play together, mess around, talk about stupid stuff, laugh about characters being stuck in dumb positions or enemies flying away. It’s entertaining, you can just switch your brain off for a little and enjoy the small stuff as you adventure with a friend across beautiful landscapes. It’s everything I hoped I would find in a game like this. And it’s not because we’re so similar - we’re extremely different people, different ages, different countries, different opinions and views, but since we’re both normal, it isn’t a problem. We even disagree with ships. All of her ships are ones I personally disagree with, and the only one I have she doesn’t like. But that isn’t an issue - why should it be…? At least that’s what a normal interaction between players should be like. There are far too many who take fiction way too seriously, to the point that they place the “feelings” and “rights” of fictional characters over that of actual living people. It’s… really something else.

[@sevenseasofwhy1595]

You basically just summed up how I feel about this as well in a much more concise way than I ever could

[@xnotable]

its honestly hard to continue playing this game after learning the things its community does, there really are alot of cool ppl out there but... genshin's reputation was already ruined and unless you play the game for yourself you will always think of this as a game for weebs that love gambling and are toxic as hell. And anyone that is not a genshin impact player will just continue to hate this game and its players after learning about that crap. And I am definetely not blaming anyone for thinking like that, I'd definetely think the same if I never tried out the game

Genshin is a game for every age with no sexual scenes and completely fun to play with or without using money.

[@Silver-Arrow]

I feel like much of the video is played up to be worse than it actually is/was, sure stealing cardboard cutouts is a crime but it is more funny than it is serious (like people stealing the fnaf cutouts at theaters). The bubble diaper isn't nearly as bad as the time mihoyo was forced to change some character designs but is more the fault of china regulation, the kaveh bug wasn't really anyone's fault (cheaters affect every game, it was just weird it hit genshin like it did with the overflow damage zhongli), and leaking isn't specific to genshin the only toxic part about it is not only the betrayal but actually how leakers do it for clout and not for love of the game. Although it's not like genshin isn't toxic since the rest were great examples and pretty much covered all of the context although if it's about toxicity for genshin and general (and not fan specific) then the wrongdoings of other VAs should be mentioned as well

[@haydenho154]

that's definitely true, he omitted crucial details in the video such as the real reason for a few KFCs being shut down was due to covid protocol on large gatherings, and how making it seem like stealing a literal piece of cardboard was worse than it was, and tried pushing issues that affected media as a whole on genshin itself. the thing with Dori's VA happens to live action shows and actors/actresses too, and other forms of western media. he also never mentioned the while thing with tighnari's old EN VA as well. SteamedBunX made a good video breaking it down, and there's a reason this guy puts a disclaimer in front of the video saying to do our own research

I played Leauge of Legends and just started genshin impact. I don't think genshin is a toxic game. It' s adicting because there are rewards for daily login s and tasks. But you can just play solo and have a great time. Im my opinion the dawnsides of genshin impact are dailogs and fact you have to run, climb and fly to discower new places . Ather then that i think its a fun game, you can just chill kill oponents, do some tasks, upgrade your character.

Speaking on behalf of the rest of the genshin community that don't do these kinds of things, please don't let these bad apples reflect the kind of people we are, there may be a lot of bad apples but not all of the community is like this. This is not how we like to see our game represented. Best of wishes to the people who were harassed and affected in this video. Thx for reading my rant that I felt compiled to write. Here's 50% more luck on ur next pull. :> edit: while I understand that seeing bad things about the community without seeing any of the good may seem like it is just to make the genshin community look bad, I don't think it was his intentions, I feel like he was just trying to expose these bad apples so that the rest of the community don't do these kinds of things as he does say 'some members' when referring to the genshin community so he is not trying to say that the whole community is bad but yea that's how the vid came off to me.

Free open world rpg with lots of characters and hundreds of hours free content. The story in genshin is one of the best in all of gaming and the amount of lore put into it is insane.

Apart from Genshin Impact, other Hoyoverse games like Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai Star Rail, and Honkai Impact may encounter similar issues. The main concern appears to be Hoyoverse's lack of communication, both within its own team and with the player community. Criticizing their games is important because it gives Hoyoverse the opportunity to listen to feedback and make changes or add features that players truly desire. Unfortunately, our expectations have not been met. I hope Hoyoverse avoids making decisions that could negatively impact both the community and their games, leading to controversies.

[@BrendanSilver-w3r]

Since I haven't seen people doing it, I'll explain how much misinformation is in this video. Starting with chapter 1: It's funny that you make it a serious crime to steal the cutout of the characters, something that is not new, even this happens many times when there are movie premieres, even those cutouts were returned later. The crowd of people waiting outside the KFC...were there any serious incidents like fights or something? not really, people were just waiting for the KFC to open again peacefully, something that happens in other places like the long lines people make to buy an Iphone or at ComiCon or videogame events. And the police had to intervene because...well, the police always have to be present in massive events in case any problem happens, even more when they are events without previous registration, which did not happen in the KFC, in many countries they do it and they even close the streets, besides in China this was much more regulated because...you know...pandemic. And not all the stores were closed, only a few, the vast majority were still open and it was not because of any serious incident but because of the pandemic itself and seriously, stealing a cutout is not a serious crime for you to exaggerate it in such a way. And it's this one that falls even lower when you put the bomb incident as if it was something the Genshin fandom did, and because of their events a bomb threat happened...seriously what the hell was that conclusion? But it's very annoying that you didn't mention the time that because of the trailer of a Genshin character, a lot of people went to donate to orphanages and schools in China, I guess the fandom there was also toxic, right? Chapter 2: I find it impressive that you put Tectone as an example at this point considering that this person is disliked not only by the Genshin fandom but also by the Blue Archive fandom for his toxic community and for how toxic he is, something that also affected Honkai Star Rail. Without forgetting that the harassment towards some KZbinrs was by his own words and by his own followers which he himself called as "egoists" and "gross" if they wanted this sponsorships. And the contracts that Hoyoverse gave is not something that other companies do not do with their sponsorships, I mean, any company that pays you for sponsorships of their product does not want you to give a negative review of their product. And best of all, the moment that Hoyoverse made an event without those restrictions, the bots were very noticeable...something that Tectone criticized...but Tectone also criticized the previous restrictions (that guy likes to create drama if you haven't noticed already and he is not a representative of the game and is not the last word, literally nobody takes this guy's opinion seriously and it is used as a mockery or directly everyone ignores it). By the way good Sponsorship...after complaining about the Sponsorships Chapter 3: While it is true that there were some bad moments with the Genshin VA, you chose the worst example of all. Dori's VA was harassed but on Twitter and it has already been shown many times how the supposed "Genshin fans" are really antis and this was demonstrated when one wanted to create drama complaining how Eula is a "slave owner" thus making it known how those people don't even play the game since the background of this person is totally the opposite. Also, this cultural appropriation and VA is not something that happened in Genshin only, this is just an occurrence in the community (which was not even part of the community) constratando with the various incidents of VA for alleged cultural appropriation, the best known of Apu. This is exclusively on Twitter, something you should already know since you covered the Twitter topic in a video previously, right? I guess generalizing is kind of free these days. And does it not come to mind in the incident with the VA of Tighnari? where the entire community came together to make Hoyoverse immediately fire his VA for groomig and that he was immediately changed by another and that the community supported the victims as a whole? of course, those moments where the community is wholesome are not commented in videos that misinform rather than inform Chapter 4: You know that because Hoyoverse is now quite well known and has some very scrappy competitors, they have to censor quite a lot of their games in order to keep up with the Chinese government's dictates. Hoyoverse receives many fraudulent reporters from competing companies, the most well known being Tencent which to this day is salty because Hoyoverse did not let themselves be sold, thus causing them to have to give more censorship than usual, something that even happened in their new game ZZZ, a game that is still in beta and in their Honkai Star Rail game...when the game had just been released in China at the moment. And the discord thing, it is not something that happens only in the Genshin server, I was in several servers of this type of games and several have this type of restrictions, not something only attributed to Hoyoverse or Genshin. Chapter 5: I was during that incident, it was just panic generated by the hackers themselves who posted the videos of the alleged hack but the victims were themselves, it was just a troll and there were no real victims. Chapter 6: I was also present at the time of the leaks. With the leaks you left something crucial out, this wasn't because some hackers got into the Hoyoverse servers and leaked a bunch of content, it was a disgruntled ex-employee who leaked everything after he was fired for...leaking content. Chapter 7: I was here too! And honestly I find it very nasty of you to give false information on this, Shirakami was not arrested for "Genshin Impact Hentai", he was arrested because in China, the distribution of NSFW content is ILLEGAL, no matter what franchise it is from and this went further because of Tifa's video at the Zoom meeting in Italy. Chapter 8: Not much to say here as I was not present for Genshin's first anniversary. Chapter9: I was also there during this incident and this is where the video literally shows that you just want to misinform and put a malicious face on a community that is like no one else is painting it. The background is a lot but in short, the guy who did that to the cats is not a fan of Genshin or a player of this, later it was discovered that this guy did this kind of things long before in different telegram groups, thus demonstrating that this psycho was not even part of the community and was an anti who just wanted to give a bad face to the community as this video is doing. I am aware that the Genshin community is not the healthiest of all but it is clearly not the community as many people try to put it, especially when they are people who have never played the game, create their opinion based on others who do not even know what they are talking about and omit crucial information that changes the context of much of what is stated. But of course, talking bad things about Genshin brings views from the antis, as seen in Tectone's channel that despite having stopped playing the game, Genshin lives rent free in his mind like the rest of the antis. Seriously, I don't know if you did the script or someone else did it but you left out a lot of information, you took a lot of things out of context and in others you didn't even inform yourself of the situation.

@@evilmiyoho6742 White knight or not, at least I'm not lying through my teeth for internet points. Maybe you should get some facts and create your own opinion instead of dick riding people on the internet

The chapter 3 are on spot, most of the VA drama wheter genshin or not often mostly generate from there and not toward the genshin player. it really a nothing burger when try to ties on genshin community since the english VA always have too many dramas on Twitter you barely take them seriously and I've been in that 2019 incident and witnessed how corrupt the industry can get it was wise choice for me to leave it for good and never look back again.

[@evilmiyoho6742]

​@@BrendanSilver-w3r A whiteknight talking about lying, facts, dick riding, creatin an opinion of his own... xD how funny and ironic.

[@harliv999]

Its so sad. This game is actually good but because of the community I'm ashamed to even mention it in front of anyone.

[@LUCAS420BLZ]

Community being cringe aside most of the hate is valid and it's mainly towards mihoyo

[@harliv999]

​@@LUCAS420BLZ I get why the community would be mad but man the things they do to express it... like death threats and shit is way too far

[@evilmiyoho6742]

The game is not good, it's literally dead.

[@weeaboo9905]

​​@@evilmiyoho6742it's not dead completely....The game just gets slow after completion of every archon quests... Like the last archon quest was of fontaine region,but now it's getting slower again as the last archon quest already completed. But the game will boost up again with the release of new regions and archon quests in future. But yeah the creators just think of it as a way of only making money now.

@@weeaboo9905 true.

"Hopefully this is the darkest the genshin impact community gets" Trust me, things will get darker. Calling it right now Edit: 1 month later and I guess I was right
