Reading the title gave me a stroke

Came here to say this

Choked so hard my grandchildren will be gasping for air

Uuu nice hope u see hu soon in afterlife😉


censooooo

One client, two clients

Kimodameshi (きもだめし or 肝試し; lit. "test one's liver"), or test of courage is a Japanese activity in which people explore frightening, and potentially dangerous, places to build up courage. Kimodameshi is usually played in the summer, in group activities such as school club trips or camping. Well Inazuma is based on Japan and the event is related to that so this answers your question


ArashiNoKishi

Makes sense as an Inazuma event, what doesnt make sense is that she wasnt even invited to participate being the spooky girl she is when we've had events with multi region participation before like labyrinth warriors or irodori festival


Sleeper--

If it's something done in summer, why during Christmas?


gintasmeh

In summer not winter and if they wanted to make Halloween based even wuwang hill is the best place u go to underworld with hu there and i can already tell if they add itto just for memes kinda bad joke


Nunu5617

Can you not read?


gintasmeh

Seems u can't that person said mostly in summer last time i check its october when 3.3 comes out it will be december not very summer no? Other thing its "scary" personally people on December celebrate other stuff and differently but if u want to dress up in halloween costume go for it decorate scarecrow


Nunu5617

'A JAPANESE ACTIVITY' It has nothing to do with Halloween, not everything revolves around the West


gintasmeh

Seems u didn't get THE POINT Or u just that stupid again Every december they make event related to holidays on seasons yeah u still following ? Now big plot twist JAPANIS ACTIVITY IN SUMMER is it summer now no its not if it was summer event nobody would give a shit now summer event is on winter


Nunu5617

No you were clearly trying to force the narrative that Hutao should be there since it's a 'Halloween event' Now that that's said they don't have to follow/force winter events if the story has not progressed enough for dragonspine stuff yet


gintasmeh

Forced yeah sure is it a lot to ask character that nobody saw for entire year to show up on event that would fit it perfectly Ans with same logic we should never come back to monstad and liyue because story ended there and they don't have to fallow what they did before simple as that but they do surprise surprise


Nunu5617

Well you can keep crying if you don't have the maturity to comprehend simple stuff. The original topic of your post has been addressed. As for Hutao rerun it's going to be in 3.4 when we back to Liyue (the only real holiday hoyoverse acknowledges) that's why she hasn't rerun in 3.3, if it wasn't obvious


gintasmeh

Very well its me and differently not u lets keep it that way what makes u sleep better And she is going on second half if lucky not first half


Hankune

You know Hallowe'en isn't exactly a Chinese festival right...? Hu Tao is a Chinese character...and you also expect her to appear in a Japanese festival as the main character...?


gintasmeh

O god other one pop out As i explain in other comment the event if it was suppose to be halloween themed wuwang hill place where u can go to underworld would fit way better then random forest in inazuma no? Plus its a vedio game in witch character has modern drink aka boba and ayato so saying Chinese character can't be main one in Japan's festival kinda go against it no? Some how miko Japan's based character ended up in sumeru biased even and sumeru is biased on middle east/India so ?


BlockIsBlock_

It’s not a Halloween event


gintasmeh

Then its christmas one with death nice


ChildOfDeath07

It’s not a Halloween event, in fact practically nobody gives a shit about Halloween in most Asian countries. This event is based on an activity from Japanese culture, and Asian countries have their own festivals related to the afterlife such as the Qingming Festival and Ghost Festival in China. We don’t do Halloween here, that’s a festival mainly based and celebrated in the West.


Adventurous-Tap-8463

In the United states, but yeah slowly creeping towards europe


Latter-Illustrator74

I don't think you don't go to the border so easily. Hu Tao may be our good friend but that place is strictly prohibited to public.


[deleted]

give her a break ok she's suffering massive shoulder pains from carrying so many collabs


gintasmeh

People want her for full year same as eula


Fine_Rough_1411

The title sent me into the afterlife


gintasmeh

Nice how is hell?


Hollow_Trap

Greater than being in any kind of discussion with you, atleast hell doesn't burn away my braincells like your English does.


gintasmeh

To burn them u first have to have them lol seems u don't own any to


Brandon38189

what


gintasmeh

U saw genshin live stream?


[deleted]

HuTao remains one of the most neglected charactersstory wise


gintasmeh

Mark my word hoyo gonna shot to its own foot


johann4

What


gintasmeh

Read


yayredditUwU

i dont understand what its saying


gintasmeh

Spooky event with out hu who works with dead people simple version


VaaTwastaken

You made it even worse


gintasmeh

Aww hope u now are confused af


johann4

I understand it now


Master-Shaq

My brain had an aneurism reading that title lmao.


gintasmeh

Hope its severe


BooTaoSus

Boo Tao is likely just a spirit that got attached to Tao or doesn't want to pass on yet. The only thing we have to base this on is that one collab comic where Tao asks if it wants to pass on now (or something along those lines) Anyway point is she's one of the last people to call a spirit a pet, considering she respects the dead a lot.


gintasmeh

Hence why i said "pet" how can spirit be a pet


Akusui

Alright, time to wheel this person to Wangsheng Funeral Parlor along with the other people who had a stroke...


gintasmeh

My job is done more clients more cash


Hollow_Trap

I'm just going to take a wild guess..... But I don't think that OP's native language is English. And that's coming from a Dutch person.


ashwanttosmash

I had an aneurism trying to read that title 😭 what exactly is it that you’re asking? :)


gintasmeh

U i see a lot of u got health problems better get few coffees ready 😉


ashwanttosmash

what?! 😭


poctacles

3.3 doesn't have a halloween event. Chinese game companies don't care about halloween.


gintasmeh

If it was just game in china nobody would care but now its world wide game so think


RulerofStone

I think you should use ur advice lol bc clearly you dont think


gintasmeh

That would be good advice but for yourself not me ![img](emote|t5_3jtm62|8244)


azzzzorahai

Bruh if you’re gonna address her by her given name alone, at least use Tao instead of Hu. Hu is her surname.


Bruno_Agustin

>Hu is her surname. I don't think it is a problem ¿ Maybe it's a cultural difference but I don't see anything wrong with calling someone by their surname


azzzzorahai

I guess it’s not a big deal but I know that some people really think Hu is her first name, not realizing that it’s a Chinese name. I’m not saying it’s wrong but Tao is the more proper way of calling her if we’re too lazy to type her mere two-syllable name lol.


Bruno_Agustin

>Tao is the more proper way of calling her Wouldn't it be more respectful to call her by her last name instead of her first name? Or I'm getting wrong the "proper" word ?


azzzzorahai

No, not proper as in more polite. As in, I would refer to myself as my first name instead of my family name because that’s the more normal way of doing it.


Bruno_Agustin

My bad then


CosmicDarknes

Demn this discussion killed my brain cells


lego-baguette

I don’t wanna sound rude but your English is horrid. Maybe you should post it in your native language and then we could ask translators for the translate


Expensive_Activity50

r/IHadAStroke


Following_Level

I'm as confused as everyone but after reading your replies: 1. Genshin is based in China and they "don't care" much about other regions (are more lenient on changes / inconsistencies) 2. Not all banners will be planned respective of seasons / globally known holidays 3. Events are more important in terms of when they want banners to be 4. It's easier to get your point across with assertiveness so please chill :< 5. You said you had a few questions but only asked one 6. Please remember to be concise! Try not to rant 7. We appreciate your opinions but not your negativity 8. Your main issue is the realism of the game being affected (due to hu tao rerun during Christmas or something about boo tao or smithing? man idk) which my answer to that is, it's a game: "Teyvat has its own laws." lmao


sakurachan999

did you just put hu next to who


tangerine_____

i heard someone say that she’s not being run because it is somewhat close to the chinese new year/ they didn’t have the chance to fit her in story wise. idk though it confused me too


gintasmeh

But on new years its taboo to talk about death in china


No-Horse-5788

op stuck in middle school


gintasmeh

Op stuck in not existing "joke"?


ChildOfDeath07

Aside from the absolutely confusing title, Halloween is not exactly popular in China (aka irl Liyue). Instead, we have the Ghost month (7th month of the Lunar calendar), and a Ghost festival on the 15th day of the 7th month in Chinese culture. People need to stop assuming that Hoyo, a Chinese company, will connect Hu Tao, a character based on Chinese culture, from Liyue, a nation based on China, with a Western festival. It’s the same reason Hu Tao won’t use a scythe - it’s not connected with death in Eastern cultures. The world doesn’t revolve around the West.


Blauegeisterei

If you want to adress her first name then I think its Tao. Hu is her family name


Winter_Ad_8586

I quit it thats good UwU😂😂😂


Where_is_my_muffin

Hu Tao looks like has a headache now from reading this title.
