Voice actor Elliot Gindi will no longer voice Tighnari in Genshin Impact, the developers announced. Several allegations of abuse, sexual harassment and grooming have been made against Gindi online.
Therefore, according to Official Genshin Impact Twitter Account. In response to these allegations, Gindi apologizes on TwitLonger He acknowledged that the screenshots posted online were real, but categorically denied any suggestion of inappropriate interactions with minors.
“What’s not true: I willfully do anything to any minor, I don’t respect someone’s pronoun change. I’m not “waiting” for someone to be 15 to 18. I flatly say no to them.
The post continued: “RE other questionable practices: sometimes I’ll wear my boxer briefs, but never with any sexual intent or focus. I sincerely apologize. Furthermore, I have not been involved with anyone in the manner described above, other than those three people I have been involved with.”
“I understand what I did was wrong and inappropriate and do my best to confess it to those I come in contact with. I reacted inappropriately to a situation I felt needed and hurt a lot in the process People. I understand that my actions have consequences, and I am committed to taking my responsibility as I strive to get better and do better.”

I’m not going to tweet this because I think I said what I said. But after I found out he was using my fucking name to lure people in. I have to say something.
I barely knew Elliot Gindi. We really just play games together.The first time I spoke to him was on live

As for the future, the community will receive updates on new voice actors for the Tighnari character and when past lines will be redone from a future post on the official English-language Genshin Impact Twitter account. Still, it’s nice to see a company act so quickly in a situation like this.
