What Does Victory Look Like In The Whole #BoycottHoyoverse Movement? I Support The Movement For More

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.

Already seeing posts that Malleus is disgusting (in a not-affectionate manner) for what he's doing to the Shroud brothers.

As you should! That's the entire point of the story; that manipulating people, feeding your ideals upon the unwilling, and forcing them to obey you is an actual evil thing and something that should be condemned, not romanticized! He's literally from an evil bloodline with an actual bitch of a mother. Again, that's the point of his character in particular. That he is an evil creature who happened to be exposed to kindness, liked said kindness, tries to live his life in said kindness, but occasionally reverts to his foul nature because he's not a perfect person. Because he doesn't yet completely understand how to navigate in this unfamiliar kindness.

If that message irritates you so much, then honestly this game isn't for you. And if I had a hand in influencing this story, I don't want twst to change anything about how his character arc goes. We need more characters who change from repulsive to struggling but slightly better, and not just fill the entire fictional universe with care bears type of men who go from kind to godly kind. He's a failure of a man, but he's trying to be better.

And I'd be damned if the final villain in a villain game is not an actual villain.
