The latest controversy surrounding Genshin Impact is causing a stir in the gaming community, with accusations of cultural appropriation and whitewashing flying left and right. As the game continues to expand its universe, some vocal critics are calling out publisher HoYoverse for what they perceive as inaccuracies in representing real-world cultures.
The introduction of the new region, Natlan, has only added fuel to the fire, with fans pointing out discrepancies in how characters inspired by real-life deities are portrayed. The outcry for better representation has been growing louder, and now even some of the voice actors behind the game are joining in the conversation.
Khoi Dao, the voice of Albedo, took to social media to urge fans to make their voices heard and push for changes in Genshin Impact. Zeno Robinson, who voices Sethos, also chimed in, emphasizing the importance of diversity in character representation.
Sucrose actor Valeria Rodríguez and Yoimiya actress Jenny Yokobori have also spoken out against the perceived lack of accurate cultural representation in the game. With complaints mounting, there is a growing demand for HoYoverse to take action and address these concerns before the official release of the Natlan region.
As fans and actors alike continue to raise their voices, the pressure is on for HoYoverse to respond to the calls for better representation in Genshin Impact. Stay tuned as this story develops, and we await HoYoverse’s official response to the growing criticism.
