hoyoverse and colorism
the hoyo games are fun however, they don't listen to criticisms and misrepresent many different cultures. they did this with sumeru, which is based off of the middle east and india and made all their characters pale with the slightly darker ones being dehya, candace, cyno, and a few NPC's. they are doing this yet again with Natlan, which is supposed to be based off of pre-columbian latin america and west africa. they've mispelled the names of many characters such as "ororon" which is supposed to be olorun, the yoruban deity of creation and "mavuika" which is supposed to be mahuika, the maori goddess of fire. they've white-washed all of their characters yet again and many people, including Chinese players, genshin content creators, and various voice actors that have worked in hoyoverse games have spoken out about this issue. this problem also persists in their other games such as honkai star rail. the planet peacony is supposed to be based off the Jazz era in 1920's america, which was influenced by the harlem renaissanced which was a movement of art, music, and literature started and influenced by african americans yet there are no darkskined or brown skinned characters except for the NPCs.
