Game news Genshin Impact is said to be boycotted on Twitter
Today the hashtag #boycottGenshin caught on on Twitter by settling in the top 4 trends in France. Under this banner, players are calling for the game to be stopped for reasons that mix racism, sexualization and security.
Genshin Impact, the first Chinese game to be so successful in the West, is once again hit by critics. After miHoyo Limited was accused of censorship last October, it is charged with racism and hypersexualization, among other things. It’s a hashtag, titled #boycottGenshin, collected by the complaints, which has mobilized more than 49,000 tweets and, at the time of this writing, has settled in the top trends in France.
MiHoyo Limited is blamed for five things. The first concerns the lack of display of playable black characters in the game (two out of thirty). OtherwiseThere would be a demonization of the indigenous tribes on the part of the Chinese studio as it would have been inspired by them for the creation of Hilichurls, Game monsters. The second reminds of the sexualization of a female character named Flora, as an NPC (non-playable character) declares to be in love with her if there is only a child and he is an adult. The third mentions the lack of two-factor authentication that would make it easier to hack accounts. At lastThe strategy for publishing content is also being questioned, especially with the postponement of the arrival of the Inuzuma region. A delay indicated that the “Players don’t want to wait any longer to play“.
As a reminder, Genshin Impact is currently in version 1.4 since March 17th. Today is also the arrival of the banner of Tartaglia, consisting of a single new character. It is Rosalia, 4 star cryo character.
