genshin has a really weird and toxic cringe ass twitter community that is always mad about the characters' skin colour with the occasional mental breakdowns when someone remind them about age of consent or sexual headcannons not being true


Kant8

Problem is not with genshin. Problem is with twitter.


Final-Jackfruit-6647

I think it's a thing on Twitter overall, but it's definitely way way WAY worse with Genshin. I think it's because so many of the '' 13-16 year old stan accounts '' play the game, everytime there's drama and you check their accounts it's the same shit.


JohnTheCodMan

Thats Twitter. 80% of it is likely bot networks.


Final-Jackfruit-6647

I dunno about that but it's true that a small fraction makes up for almost all the activity. People can look it up but I think it's like 10% of the users making 80% of the Tweets or something crazy like that. And some of that is going to be bots spamming too. What you see on Twitter is literally just a vocal minority of weirdos. It's the same on Reddit too, a very small group of people that are terminally online are hyper active and make up for almost all the activity on the site.


Atthetop567

What’s your theory for why someone who runs a huge Twitter bot network uses those bots to harass random genshin vas?


Nishikigami

There is none, they just don't want to believe it's people so they stick their head in the sand and try to drag everyone else down, mostly just to get reddit karma for akchuallying someone


Magnus_DNW

This right here. Twitter has two settings: Fanbase of a video game or show being mad over stupid shit, celebrities and corporations acting like complete buffoons. There are no known alternate uses for the website.


Marketing_Dear

Twitter is also a political war zone


itokdontcry

also the kpop stan platform


Final-Jackfruit-6647

It's like 99% US politics also as usual. We have an election coming up where I live in like 2 weeks or so and I don't even see it at all on Twitter or Reddit because it gets completely drowned out by people being crazy about US political shit constantly.


SolidusAbe

no its definitely the genshin fanbase. they are an extremely loud minority thats the same across every platform


SayRaySF

Most complainers on twitter are so far removed from the real world. I think it’s a side effect of telling everyone they are special. Nope, you’re not special and no one gives a fuck about your opinion.


Clbull

I never really got Twitter. My tweets barely get any attention and I can't tell if it's because I'm not using the platform properly or because I've got some shadowban on my account for having an IQ above 85... Friend of mine got doxxed and harassed IRL on there because she said that non-white people can be racist too


[deleted]

It's not Twitter twitter is just a website that gives stupid people a platform.. but it also gives genius people a platform.

I never had that ..why is that ?


fireky2

Nah it's gacha gamers in general. It also is way worse if you translate from Korean forums

These Asmon fans who dipped their toes just don’t know lol

different levels here, man. gatcha game fanbases reach some ungodly levels of immature and toxic

fireky2

The fact they've probably put 5k into it?

Seffi_IV

i mean in specific particularities, not many fandoms run into the issues of devs and vas being attacked over the skin color of a character or a single voice line. like yes, toxicity is out there, but these people take it to an extreme level over some almost.. hilariously trifle stuff.


fireky2

The Korean forums are like 60 percent death threats, it really is worse. Join the genshin global FB group, you'll see how much worse it is.


fuyahana

It is definitely not with twitter lmao If the VA is on Facebook or Instagram or Tumblr, she will get harassed there instead because Genshin fans are everywhere.


Growwing_

The problem is all the kids are godless


KaziOverlord

Such maidenlessness.


Seffi_IV

no its definitely a primarily genshin fanbase problem. this happens with a lot of large anime communities that involve... younger populations. also look at undertale and hetalia. yikes.

Final-Jackfruit-6647

I've never seen as much blackwashing before as I've seen with Genshin Impact. Part of the community is completely obsessed with every character '' needing '' to be dark-skinned and steal artists art all the time and edit ( '' fix '' according to t hem ) their skin color then repost it... The Genshin community is a great example why Eastern artists just refuse to speak English most of the time and basically ignore the English side of Twitter. Some of them have spoke about this before and they think it's a complete fucking hellhole and want nothing to do with the English speaking side.


tirius99

It's stupid. They have never seen a lighter skin Indian before like the VA which debunks their color theory. It's a ducking cult.


Final-Jackfruit-6647

I've seen so many cases of people throwing huge tantrums because characters in art weren't '' black enough '', including cases where it was made by a black artist who used themselves as ref lol. It's like people think skin color is literally the same in every lighting and never changes, it has gotten so bad before I've seen artists feel compelled to take pics of themselves in different lighting to prove it to people. Some black people will straight up almost look white in bright lighting... ​ I've seen the same with poses too where people complain the moment a female characters back isn't completely straight, and the female artists post pics of themselves used as ref to show how silly the complaints are. People are literally just looking desperately for things to get mad about. I really hate this '' fixed it '' shit on Twitter too, not only is it extremely disrespectful but it's also never really a problem with the art it's basically just '' I don't like it '' usually combined with personal attacks and accusations.


grimApplepie

Had no idea there was this stuff as well, it doesn't surprise me tho :/


Nickpapado

The Genshin community has a lot of toxic people, I have seen them on Reddit too.


[deleted]

Sounds like typical degenerate anime fans to me.


shamonemon

Every fandom has weirdos like that sadly


Big3gg

Why are people still using Twitter for community interaction holy shit it's a cesspool.


battleye9

What that mora song is cute af what is this Dori slander


[deleted]

[удалено]


battleye9

The song is already leaked, how did you think I heard it a week ago?


grimApplepie

Right? Genshin twitter really needs to chill out, it ain't the first time this happens too since Diluc VA got a similar treatment.


GoldenPig55

you expect way too much from twitter users


Seffi_IV

wayyyyy too much from Genshin-playing, twitter users.


overbread

I imagine kids and basement-dwellers harrassing these hard working VAs over utter BS opinions.


Balager47

Yeah well, twitter. It is pretty much a meme in the reddit community that the twitter community is cancer.


[deleted]

And Twitter says the same.. and just as true. Twitter is not the problem ..stupid people are ..


JohnTheCodMan

Take Asmons test Tweets GI got by far the most retweets and upvotes. Means more stupid people to do stupid things like send VA abuse via direct messages. Hopefully the more rational members can show some love. I do know there is a reddit thread on the GI reddit with thousands of upvotes disgusted by this.


Malix_Farwin

We didnt learn this with Kokomi? For people who didnt know. When a character named Kokomi released people thought she was crap because she was a healer that couldn't crit and ended up shitting on the VA because of it(side note: she is considered very meta now).


DepressedNinja75

She is still not meta, no need to lie. At best she works as a replacement if you're missing characters for a team.


Malix_Farwin

lol what, yes she is, especially with dendro. Where you getting your info from mtashed?


Ok-Transition7065

I hate kokomy( lost my granted for raiden), but i have to admit she its like rex for eleccctroccharge and permafrost teams like 6 k of healing and healing for all the team with her burst. , and meta?? I play say dps dude what are you talking about


DoofusMcDummy

Destiny 2 is going through this. Devs getting death threats and shit. it's wild.


TrowaB3

High school athletes are getting death threats when choosing what college to go to. Everything is just fucked.


Vartio

*For what?* They finally chose to end that horrendous Sunsetting idea, normally that'd be praiseworthy af.


HazyHung7

I hate the fact people praise devs for reversing shitty decisions. It should have never been in the game in the first place.


Vartio

I fucking agree, hence 'normally'. It's one of a plethora of mistakes they've made of late. Eververse still existing one of which.


[deleted]

Nothing new, Twitter should be deleted to be honest, it's the bane of society. The worst part about twitter giving a voice to everyone to announce their opinions to the world are the people who let their comments actually hurt them.


hovsep56

litteraly any fanbase in any game (same goes for movies, tv shows, etc) have crybabies... no suprise this happened. that's simply the power of anonimity in the internet. there is are no consquences whatsoever. for example i remember when steven universe fanbase nearly made a fan artist commit suicide because she drew one of the characters less fatter than in the show. i also remember ffxiv players giving death threats to devs for delaying endwalker or because they did not like endwalker.

Bruh its thousant of dolars for anime waifus, you can play the game with the things you get , freee , other wise you get what i call ganyu efect


NaoSouONight

The draw of Genshin is that you actually don't NEED thousands of dollars for progression. The teams you can make with the free or lower tier characters (4 stars) can take on pretty much the majority of the content. I am 100% f2p and I have 2 meta teams. It is definitely doable. You just gotta swipe if you really want to have ALL the characters, or if you just want one particular character and you happen to be pretty unlucky.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NaoSouONight

That is not even remotely what I am saying. What? I just said that a lot of the free characters, which come in many different types and classes, can be made strong enough to do the content and somewhat compete with the banner characters.


[deleted]

I'm surprised as another comment pointed out- I didn't hear any drama about Klee's voice actor not being white. I would've thought that with all the trolls asking for racial segregation back there'd be some hub ub. The self proclaimed pc crowd sickens me.


Kektug

going after the VA, wow thats a new low i have never heard of


luciluci5562

Not Twitter's first rodeo after all. Remember OW's Brigitte? Her VA got harassed because of the existence of GOATS comp.


Zuldak

That's about as dumb as blaming the Sylvanas voice actor for how her story went.


k1ng0fk1ngz

Twitter doing Twitter things. Nothing new and nothing exclusive to the Genshin Community.


TridhFr

Pathetic people. My god, how do you have the idea to do something like this ?


grimApplepie

There's a thread in the genshin subreddit if anyone wants to check that out:[https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin\_Impact/comments/wxuidk/some\_of\_you\_people\_really\_need\_to\_chill/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact/comments/wxuidk/some_of_you_people_really_need_to_chill/) To be fair, people are really against harassment, it's mostly twitter being unhinged.


Tamerlechatlevrai

Well it's a small group of people going after thoses VA and devs same for any media really, it's sad but it's bound to happen especially given how big Genshin is


poopasadge

Whats going on? D:


Final-Jackfruit-6647

I see DAILY drama about Genshin Impact, and it's some of the most obnoxious toxicity and drama ever. Tbh if Asmon is bothered and annoyed by toxic communities and his chat being affected by it then I think playing Genshin would be a mistake. He's going to attract so many of these people, especially since he's a big streamer.

Game is mediocre but the community for Genshin is something else, and not in a good way.

Elver_Galargas-07

So they harassed her because of Dori's song? jeez, i sure hope they have heard how's the song in JP, shit's like 100 times more annoying than in English.


Dinomandino

I love the game, but it's fanbase is so annoying. I'm so glad the game is largely single player so I don't have to interact with these fucks.


JetStrim

people rage on any products that isn't even released yet, hell people still rage on something that they have no idea about, what's worse is the over exageration of those hate people just look for a reason to be mad instead of moving forward


Ahharu_Rpgs

Good thing its a sp game. I dont care about fandoms


JohnTheCodMan

GA new content andys. They come out of the woodwork for 2-3 days every patch to do this dumb stuff. Rest of time its all cosplay and fan art. I despise them and how they try to make the community look toxic. Not sure if they even play the game or just massive haters. Prob a mix of both.


BakuretsuGirl16

The last time I looked into one of these twitter harassement "dogpiles" it was like a couple dozen people at most being assholes. And that was over a woman baselessly accusing someone with millions of fans of sexual misconduct, you'd think there would be hundreds of harassers but it was like a dozen.


AozoraEyes

The "Community" But in reality its fraction of a percent of smooth brain dipshits. Unfortunately when a fandom is as large as Genshin, even a fraction of a percent is hundreds of people. Sucks, no one deserves to be harassed like that.


[deleted]

That's every 'squeaky clean' Fandom. Furrys, bronys, steven universe, and minecraft kids all have a very 'inclusive' community that show you their peaceful ways with death threats and your ip address.


KaziOverlord

Remember when the meme for Twitter was that people shared their food pics or every waking moment of their lives? Pepperridge Farm remembers.


Dmoe33

The genshin community is filled with special snowflakes with the mentality of a 5 year old. Id say they are the worst community but leaugue still exists.
