According to some of them, the heroines are too sexualized in the game; others are not satisfied with the lack of colored characters; someone drew attention to the fact that Hilichurls — the goblin-like common enemies in the game look like Native American Indians.
I cant fucking believe #boycottgenshin made it to the trending just because many self-entitled amer*can demands more black characters in a CHINESE game
