i mean, yeah, they only thing they care about wrt international players is how much money and engagement they'll shell out for the product

and from what ive seen, the rallying cries for boycotting the game from the en side talk about everything except actually stopping playing the game, so lmao

muffled twitter tantrumming alone isn't gonna put much of a blip on hoyo's radar lbr

they never fucking learn

dollar signs always, always, always speak louder than hashtags, and nobody but especially not asian game devs give a flying fuck what some Twitter mob thinks when they don't pay any money or even play the game to begin with

they did just hire a sexual predator for one of their most recent english voice actors too so that's extra not giving a shit.

who'd they hire?

Chris niosi, the guy who was the original VA for male byleth but got super fired after that came out and wholly replaced by nintendo

Isn't this the third one now

they canned and recast at least one (tighnari in genshin)

anon stop bringing actual info in here, you're ruining the hateboner gdi

im sorry ill try to stick to deetless complaining from now on 😔🫡

i think it's less that they never learn and more that they don't want to

if they were mad, they'd just stop playing the game. it's that simple. it's not like there aren't five hundred other free-to-play games or waifu slot machines

isn't the point of the hashtag to discourage people from giving them dollar signs

i know it's not going to work but i think they do know that

on the other hand, isn't rate of logins/number of installations also a pretty important success metric in the game app market? the most effective combo would probably be not giving them money *and* just uninstalling the game for awhile

but most players probably won't go that far lbr

no, the point of the hashtag is to pretend you're doing something while you keep playing the game as usual

nobody with two brain cells to rub together can be ignorant of the game's colorism issue (or the fact that most characters are indistinguishable except for their hair), so there's not really any need to "spread the word" unless all their friends are dumb

all they have to do is uninstall/stop playing/stop engaging with the fandom, and engage with other fandoms instead. low-effort peer pressure is much less consequential than dragging friends into another fandom you find fun

ngl it's really funny to see white americans making a huge deal out of this because all of the actual south american players i know have no problems with these characters. in fact they're excited to see a region that represents them.

i'm sure you know millions of them, jessica

i’m latina and i lol at you colonialist gringos who claim to not be racist, but judge everyone on color skin.

you gringos are horribly racist and yet pretend that you are not.

i hope there's something you're better at in life than trolling, i really do

it’s giving dean browning

there are tons online. "come to brazil" is a meme for a reason.

are you dumb or what… nobody’s saying south americans don’t exist on the internet they’re saying they doubt anon has a bunch of south american friends who are ecstatic about hoyo’s “representation”

are you new to the internet or something because if you interact in large fandoms at all then i guarantee you'll meet people from all across the globe there

believe it or not, there is an entire world outside of the us

da

this anon is so funny. all the latinos I know are unhappy with the natlan reveal

It's almost like they're not a monolith and white ppl aren't the only group who can have complex and nuanced opinions among themselves or something

are these south americans in the room with us right now

clearly they don't exist

no actual poc would be this ungrateful for white allies sticking up for them on issues they wouldn't even know about without us
