We'll dive into the toxic world of Genshin Impact and the toxicity of its community. We'll look into a dad's $20,000 bill from his daughter's in-game purchases. Then into the chaos caused by game promotions with KFC and Pizza Hut, leading to dangerous situation. The game also faced backlash for treating streamers unfairly. More worryingly, voice actors face harassment from the community, leading to genuine threats. We'll uncover some concerning actions by 'Genshin Impact's' parent company towards its players, as well as the disturbing lengths to which some players go. Welcome to the toxic world of Genshin Impact and its community.

Legit right before this video I got a Genshin ad 💀

No, I don't think i will
I’m wondering how this comment is a day old when the vid was uploaded 2hrs ago
As a Genshin player, I can tell you people in advance that this video will probably only scratch the surface of the bullshittery that is the Genshin fandom.
Absolutely. Ive been playing the game since 2020 and I just *know* a single video or series wont be enough to cover the amount of idiocy that comes from Genshin's playerbase
Ngl, I kinda knew this was gonna happen at some point ( Ima Genshin player )@@abiteofchalk
I'm the part of a good genshin player, nice to meet you :)
Seconded. I do play the game, ever since 2021 I have been. But to this day, I do not want to be associated with that side of the community...
Exactly everywhere it's like this people hear the name and they start shittin like wtf, they don't even know anything about the game and are becoming toxic more than they frame the community to be itself
imagine the cops having to shut down multiple restaurants wondering wtf a genshin impact is
Imagine trying to figure out how to explain to your inmates that you were sentenced to 10 years in prison because of an rpg game

i can't believe someone killed cats over some pixels and just a character in a videogame. i have no hope left for the world

this world is doomed
Lets get off of internet and start seeing the world as it is for real this time. You may find that beyond all the degenerated things in the digital world there are still things that worth to live for
@@phongtranquoc7557tell that to Russia, Hamas and US shootings who keeps killing people for whatever reason they're doing it for.
I think the problem is not "fandoms" or genshin, but the state of the matter of the culture as a whole.
Yeah this dramas is pretty common in gacha and anime community not only exclusive in genshin
True. Gaming culture as a whole has completely been derailed in the past decade smh....
ahh
No... the problem is that the game is so immensely popular (tens of MILLIONS of players), that it gets all facets of human beings in the community. And as we all know, there are amazing people and terrible people in this world.
It has NOTHING to do with the game itself. You could take ANYTHING in the world, and if tens of millions of people are part of the community.... there is going to be nastiness in that community.
What I find sad, are videos like this, that like to focus only on the negative. I find it sad when people only focus on the negative.
The negativity in the genshin community is only made up of less than 1% of the players..... yet people want to say the ENTIRE community is terrible.
THOSE are the real sad people.
Tf r u yapping about it quite literally is the fanbase that r toxic asf stop trynna sound smart
The larger and more dedicated the fandom is, the more questionable the dark side becomes.
I couldnt have said it better
lets be honest here, the company themself are at fault too, its because how these gacha devs turn a human bad. Don't blame it is because of "the community is big so it has bad sides". Look at league of legends, world of warcraft,... and many other bigger community than genshin's, they're not remotely close to this level of crazy.
@@minusalterThe toxicity within those games tho,,, like I've never heard a single person say "yes play lol it's great" no, they say "play it if you hate yourself and love being shouted at". All communities have their bad apples, maybe in different ways.
@@minusalteruse anything but league of legends as the example.
Yeah even Minecraft had this kind of side because how huge they are.
As a genshin player I always avoid the fandom bc getting mad over pixels is crazyy 💀💀
They need to go out and touch some grass fr, like are they deranged ☠️
Fr the fandom is wild 💀
Me too lolll
Same, there are the people who just want to enjoy the game, and then there is this side of it…
True. I play alone, don't let anyone except real life friends into my world and stay far, far away from the fandom, especially from the shipping side of the community. It gets so toxic (ofc like every shipping community in every fandom). I just enjoy fan arts, lore threads and theories in peace but never interact and Reddit, Twitter etc. lmao
I still love playing Genshin, literally my stress reliever when dealing with school and toxic classmates, like just my temporary escape. I am just kinda "separated" from the fandom... having fun of my own. This is just literally like every fandom exist, as long it become popular... people with no life will just go into it.
I feel the same way
This is actually so true, this is the exact reason why i distance myself from the community
Bro you need to find people. You can't rely on this as an escape from reality. Get your shit together
@@nutysaf Yo I got many orgs both in school and church plus doing arts and cosplay. I am the one approach these to find purpose in life and to escape. I am not that kind of lock-in person that life is revolving in a game. And it's been a week from now since I quit Genshin
For you it's Genshin but for me it's any offline single player game.
Not just Genshin but pretty much anywhere in life,my quote stands strong:
"The more people there are in an area,the more often you'll run into abhorrent people."
that's why I usually love niche games. Not as many people, and those that do know about it are usually the genuine ones.
As a genshin player, I tend to avoid the fandom as much as I can. It's insane what kinda shit goes down 💀
When an important figure died in China and a livestream was postponed, so many people were so upset and said they deserve compensation💀 like be fkin forreal, get a grip on reality. And that alone doesn't even cover how out of touch most people in this fandom are
same
now i just login, do dailies, explore a little and be done
I play genshin and love it. I've played for 2 years and I am 13 years old. Did it change me;yes But did it change it in a bad way;no. I have gotten a better relationship with my sister and learned what I value in people. By looking into what characters i like the most and the ones i don't like and then thinking about why i think that way, i have gotten more familiar to my own standards. This has actually helped me irl too! The game is really fun and i do reccomend it. And also, videogames never made me dumb. (i just wanna make that clear for the people who think it does) I don't have to study either way. I have math with the ones older than me.
Byee, gotta get Navia now, i lost to qiqi lmao
@@sirius767lol kid I’ve literally been inspired by characters in games and media alike, and can find your cringe relatable to your own in a way, but except when I was you age I was slamming banjo kazooie, or playing MW2 on a glass television when I wasn’t playing FF7. I digress though while you have been changed for the better by this game, and it’s characters. Not everyone derives these experiences from the game, and are anime addicted cringe lords that can’t feel the reality tangibly in they’re fingers, like those kids who would take cards to steal they’re parents credit cards too buy skins. Etc, but anime pedo freaks are like the bottom of the barrel in anime society, and it took me quite a while to take the problem somewhat seriously. I also needed more time for my brain to mature too the point where I could see both sides of the arguments, and while I agree, no one’s being hurt in these pictures cause they aren’t even real in the first place, but who they actually hurt are already damaged people with low social skills or other disorders that have chances to be normal but fall into terrible yucky fandoms that overly, and overtly accept the strangest individuals. While that’s a hard metaphorical pill too swallow, it’s problem is very real. So I say to you young one that 13 is a fine age to start throwing your hat into the ring, will definitely help you become a smart man testing your belief against even the most ridiculous of arguments. Joke or no, the old saying more pressure and constant reforging only make a stronger temper.
@@davepumphernickel9568 That's still not the games fault though. Every comunity have bad pepole and because the genshin fanbase is so big it would be impossible not to find the bad ones. The bad parts is also the loudests. The ones critisising the game havn't played it for some time either. I thaught it was wierd at first, but after trying it out i really like it. It makes me happy.
As someone who regularly visits fans communities online (but rarely engages in actual conversation with them), I wouldn't say it's most of the fans, on the contrary, most of them would absolutely disapprove of the actions of bad apples and wouldn't want the whole community to be associated with them. They're only bad apples, after all, but the negative *impact* (pun not intended) they can have on the game's community as a whole will never be seen for what it actually is.
Every fandom was never in peace
real... as long there are "toxic" people would like it, anime fandoms are good examples already
So far the fandom i found peaceful is terraria

"Players used to being flattered in a game world so they can't tolerate a brat." Definitely feels true.
I remember seeing so much people hating on Furina as well, and only stopped or atleast just calmed down a little bit around 4.2 when we learned about her real story and why she acted the way she did...
I love Genshin, but I can't even say that because of the bad reputation it has because of the bad part of the community..
genshin's hatedom is weird too tbh-
:')
tbf, they kinda right. hoyo absolved and forgave a character such as the wanderer who honestly deserved the same fate as Signora. Not justifying their acts, mind you. But I see where they come from
@@djsergioner
Except that the Wanderer was not forgiven. Wanderer is still accountable for the bad deeds, but Nahida showed him the truth and allowed Wanderer to choose his own path (thus why he gets his own Anemo vision, "freedom" to move forward after facing his burdens from the past).
more like Gen Z is so degenerate that they literally get apeshit from fictional characters...
Ahh, but I like the bratty characters...
Fandom can be wonderful and beautiful if you can find the right people. Unfortunately with big fandoms, it is very easy for terrible communities to grow.
There is no beautiful fandom if they stay silent. The whole community is known for their Disgusted, Cringe and Hentai addiction.
I met a guy in college when i saw him playing Genshin, i just wanna have a chat with him and do you know what he came up with first?
" Friend i fking love Shenha t!ts and A$$ "
Bro can't fking tell what is reality anymore 💀💀 and i'm done with this community and the game itself
and yeah unfortunately those terrible communities do more harm and affect the good side of the community, one community that I know of is unfortunately Undertale
yeah thats true but I think the number of the right ppl is increasing. I am pretty new to genshin and sometimes when ppl want to join my world they just do and ask if I need help in anything. I hope those ppl wont change
@@Jaxv3r it's sad really. I've seen some of the content and it's good but filth and those who only focus on such filth has caused such damage.
Unfortunately a lot of the hate towards the community (twitter) tends to get normal players caught in the crossfire hope this video might clear somethings like that up
i hope so, cuz in my experience if you're in the normal parts of the community it gets comfortable
@BarvystykI'm on EU server and eu server seems chill. We don't even talk 90% of the time in co op

As a Genshin player who avoids the toxic fandom and only enjoys the game, it's sad how our community is toxic as hell. Btw, I'm not surprised if big communities like Genshin is filled with mean people, Social Media exposes the reality of humanity. There will be always stupid people who'll ruin the reputation of the communities.
@@-flower nah its basically the roblox community but more anime like💀
I relate and agree so much with this comment.
Yeah… I just kinda head to the meme side of the community and stay away from everything else. And by that I mean I steal memes from HoYoLAB. I don’t coop with many people, only with my irl friends

He didn't talk about the Lyney incident in Korea or the Chinese New Year rewards in 2024 😭✋️
I like the game because of the lore and the story, but the community is CRAZY
Lyney because he looks gay ?
maybe cuz he made the video in 2024…??
What happened?
@euweough1344 There's a character called Lyney, and the corean community started hating him because they thought he was a girl, so in his promocional video in corean, he got like 100k dislikes (I think so) and hate comments. Also, in the chinese New Year, they only gave us 3 wishes, which is, tbh, completely trash. Also, the video didn't mention a VA named Elliot Ghindi (tighnari's voice) that blackmailed and abused minors. He got replaced by another one, but I don't know what happened to him. Probably in prison or smth.
@@Karma_09420tbh bro, at first i looked at lyney and i was like, "thats a handsome looking girl"
even after hearing his voice, im still convinced. But then i looked at his lore..... lol
I went to a con and saw a q and a with one of the voice actors for genshin.Some of the people asked him deeply personal questions that clearly made him uncomfortable, and you could tell he was not having it. I feel awful for this guy, he seemed to be in a hard place with whether or not to engage with his fans.

The bubble diaper situation actually made me laugh for a bit on how silly it was
I didn't even know they were calling it "bubble diaper"! It got a big laugh out of me and then I told my friend. He had never heard of the term either.
Ngl i dont even notice it if you dont just pick on every little things. Youre underwater, youre mostly looking ahead, not at the character's ass
The underwater was so beautiful that I don't even realize about the censorship 😭 until i saw some yt content that talk about it..

As a Genshin player, I am extremely angry with the fandom. I hate it. Just play the game and don’t make it weird
Game fandoms have bad parts
But hoyo does cause a few issues relating to the problem in the end
But in recent times it’s been improving
I am a fellow genshin player, i played for about 3 years (if im correct), and i must say, the community always strucks my nerves for some reason, the peak amount of degeneracy the fandom shows, for sensitive people like me just gets me angry for no reason, and that is why i nearly avoid ANY genshin content on yt, or just watch some guides on incognito, so my yt recommendeds (or however you spell it? i always have trouble spelling it) dont have any slight of the content really.
Agreed .. I love how well a lot of people get along on the hoyo app but at the same time on the same app you can find a lot of hate sometimes over simple opinions.. it’s a great game with a terrible reputation so much so I try make sure not many people know I play the game at all coz I don’t want to be associated with the community
I agree too.
Based.
If you like something, you don’t have to participate in its fandom. You don’t need other people to validate your feelings about said thing you like. Every fandom has toxic fans. Don’t let the toxic fans have adjacency over your feelings. You are literally just wasting time and energy worrying about what other people say or do.
Exactly
Unfortunately your mindset isn't how everyone acts and if you already joined and engaged with the community once, that can kill people's enjoyment for a game
For me the worst part of the genshin community are the shippers with their made up headcanons on characters sexuality´s.
@@MrDakold That alone has ruined my experience on their official app called Hoyolab.
Nothing but degenerate memes and shipping head canons.

Lets be honest this community is just too big. The more people you have the more chances that you will get some unhinged weirdos. And it is the problem with all big communities.
Precisely. Genshin has like how many million players again? When there are that many people playing the game, there will be unhinged bi-ches in the crowd sh-tting on everyone.
sorry bud, but genshin impact handles a very weird community, it is different from any other game, because in genshin all this stuff is concentrated.
@@MonteLL1 most of the genshin players are casuals who don't even play other games.
@@MonteLL1 I disagree, its very common to have weirdos like this in any big fandom specially if theyre mostly teens/preteens/young adults, there are many infamous examples of fandoms such as this, MHA, Danganronpa, Harry Potter (not as much now days), Homestuck, and many more, these examples are just some that personally come to my mind
Edit: also adding in FNAF, MLP, AOT and certain MCYT fandoms that are known to be pretty weird or toxic
@@MonteLL1 Clearly you've never seen League community or Fortnite lmfao. It's just a problem with big communities in general, it's not exclusive to any games.
If you ever feel down, just remember people camped out in front of fast food chains for some digital wings

The Kaveh "glitch" was done by turning object into a bloom seed which Kaveh can make instantly explode meaning that Nilou could also do it but Kaveh was more accessible and probably because it's ironic cause in lore he is an architect.
Also the "victim" was actually the hacker trying to spread fear.
@@Straw64 "ironic isn't it"
Nilou could not do it... She has to have dendro cores made, while Kaveh just deletes whatever his skill is set to delete.

As a long time genshin player, I'll just say that Communities will always have bad apples. Being as big as it is, it just means we'll have more total toxic fucks who will ruin it for everyone. The game is fun to play as long as you can manage the gacha mechanics healthily. I feel horrible for people who received harrassment from people just for voicing a character or participating in the Feasting Event.
This has been a thing since the beginning of time. Trying to paint Genshin as the only toxic fanbase ever is just a blatant lie. I remember the lead actor of Teen Wolf getting death threats sent to him. The male actors of Once Upon a Time getting death threats sent to their children. The whole incident of the fanartist who was given a cupcake with glass in it. Or the Legend of Korra harassment campaigns against anyone who dared to not like the "correct ship". The internet is full of toxic people who do stuff because they can and they can get away with it. Genshin was not the first and will not be the last and stating so is disingenuous at best.
A great example of this is the mha fan base, there's the sane ones who respect opinions, and then there's the bad apples who are sending death threats to the writers for not making their fantasy ships canon 😅
I've been playing since launch almost every day. I've barely interacted with the community but when I did I was never really toxic and I'm still very much enjoying the game to this day.
lets be honest here, the company themself are at fault too, its because how these gacha devs turns a human bad. Don't blame it is because of "the community is big so it has bad sides". Look at league of legends, world of warcraft,... and many other bigger community than genshin's, they're not remotely close to this level of crazy.
@@minusalter the company has nothing to do with peoples behavior and I think they shouldn't be held responsible in any way for how people that play their game act. No one makes them act that way. They choose to act that way.
as someone who has played GI since 2021 I can infact say that this fandom is one of the most conflictive and horrible communities and there are things that NEED to be fixed, although I do agree that it doesn’t HIGHLIGHT EVERY player so thank you and amazing in depth video, personally I think the fault doesnt GO to ONE person but a GROUP of people.
Its a real pity you didnt mention the horrific situation with the korean genshin fans being really homophobic towards Lyney, Venti and im also pretty sure Wanderer as well
This is very common when it comes to games that are very popular, more people means more toxicity to the pool. You will never please everyone because everyone is unpredictable and have their own interest
If you want to get into Genshin, avoid these so-called 'communities' and enjoy the game/content by yourself as well as fanmade content, keep that secret to yourself
fr, this is not the first very popular fandom i saw that was this toxic, but genshin is not the game i was expecting to be one...
Not just game, but any media got so popular it will have a lot toxic fan.just look at kpop
nah, genshin have been like that ever since the beginning of the game, it was popular at the start, then it slowed down quite a lot and a lot of ppl left, and it only got worse. wow has more players than genshin, and even wow community is better. league community is bigger, and even genshin community is worse, and that says a lot cuz league community is among the worst, yet genshin seems to trumph league community in toxicity and deranged ppl
The problem isn’t the game itself it’s just that the fandom has gotten so big the chance of not having weird people is 0%
i am there tho
@@Nigelainthereand? What does that change about their statement lol

As a genshin player who also likes some of the VAs, harrasing them just for doing their harmless job is WILD wth
This happens to many fandoms. Social Medio don't make people stupid, it just exposes the stupidity of the people. The amount of people who lost touch with reality is just that unreal. I know the world has many problems but this is just disastrous. Imagine a world where people act like kids but have the full power to change the world. That would not be ideal.
And kids are cruel.
With people being online all the time nowadays they don't know how to really live. If it's raining and a person isn't upset about not being able to go out that is a serious problem and lord help us the day these toxic "fans" get to have more say with Genshin or anything
@crimsonzone8984 "kids are cruel, Jack, and I'm very in touch with my inner child!"
I guess you are on dvorak keyboard layout. btw you have a point
Social media gives stupid idots a stage to share their opinions. 20 or 25 years ago, they'd have to voice their opinions somewhere in the real life or in some small forum at best, but they'd be shut off pretty quick. Nowadays they can just puke it onto twitter or fb or whereever and likeminded idiots will jump on it making it appear a large(r) group, while actually they're still just a very vocal small single digit percentage of the playerbase as a whole.
Every community has a toxic side, sometimes it gets to the point where I sometimes hide the fact that I play Genshin Impact. When a community is larger, the dark side becomes louder. I'm glad that I didn't download Twitter/X, if anything.
facts i only talk genshin with the squad no one else XD
We need the chosen one to bring balance to the force
Genshin Impact is the new Fortnite of Internet slander
You still have 50% cancer
Absolutely, because I distinctly remember the drama about the 'art' of Nahida made when she came out, it gave such an AWFUL name to all Genshin players.
As with every community, there are always bad people around, the bigger the community, the more bad apples there are. Genshin Impact is such a successful game and has such a big global community (China + global) that these stories are almost inevitable. I'm sure there will be more to come as the game remains popular.
this is coming from a genshin impact fan, and i completely agree with this video. i keep my distance from the fandom soley because of the insane shit they've done. genshin is such a good game with such an amazing story, and its so sad to see such an amazing game be tied with a terrible fandom.
2 simple steps to avoid toxicity in Genshin:
1. Set your CO-Op options to Auto-Decline ,and NEVER join other sessions.
2. Stay as far away as possible from Hoyolab discussion boards, using it only for daily rewards.
Yup! I avoid getting involved in any kind of community
I play genshin and im not sure if it just because im a new player but everyone who’s joined my world has been so so nice to me
@@ln_six221 hmm true im new too but there are some ppl who will actually ask ur real name and private info. and some other stuff, i was low ar and this player came and started flirting etc which made me feel uncomfortable.eventually bcuz of that 1 person i stopped playing in co - op.
Are you sure they're bad??
Nah Coop is pretty chill. The same as Hoyo website.
The fandom can go from wholesome and helpful to toxic and just....disturbing 💀
Also don't forget the Lyney controversy. The way toxic Korean male fans treated him because he has a revealing outfit is ridiculous
Male Koreans want Pretty Women. They hated the Fact Genshin had a rather long Streak of Men and Twinks. They are the same People that got the Korean Ratings board abolished because they gave their revealing gacha game a too adult of a rating.
@@silverhawkscape2677 Tbf to the latter news, the rating board was abolished cause they spent government funds and resources to mine crypto currency during work hours.
Otherwise, spot on. Korea is a country where the very word 'Feminist' is used as a slur. And worse, they're sensitive about it. When people called out toxic Korean incels in the Genshin subreddit of all place, they responded almost immediately to rage against people on a site most Koreans never even heard of.
@@silverhawkscape2677 tbh South Korea been having equality/gender issues for couple of years, lots of men vilify feminine things, and opposite. Its gonna explode at some point
@@hoho7029 After the Radical Feminist of the West. Feminism in Korea is not going to succeed at all.
Really sounds like they were jealous of the man lol.
I feel like much of the video is played up to be worse than it actually is/was, sure stealing cardboard cutouts is a crime but it is more funny than it is serious (like people stealing the fnaf cutouts at theaters). The bubble diaper isn't nearly as bad as the time mihoyo was forced to change some character designs but is more the fault of china regulation, the kaveh bug wasn't really anyone's fault (cheaters affect every game, it was just weird it hit genshin like it did with the overflow damage zhongli), and leaking isn't specific to genshin the only toxic part about it is not only the betrayal but actually how leakers do it for clout and not for love of the game. Although it's not like genshin isn't toxic since the rest were great examples and pretty much covered all of the context although if it's about toxicity for genshin and general (and not fan specific) then the wrongdoings of other VAs should be mentioned as well
that's definitely true, he omitted crucial details in the video such as the real reason for a few KFCs being shut down was due to covid protocol on large gatherings, and how making it seem like stealing a literal piece of cardboard was worse than it was, and tried pushing issues that affected media as a whole on genshin itself. the thing with Dori's VA happens to live action shows and actors/actresses too, and other forms of western media. he also never mentioned the while thing with tighnari's old EN VA as well. SteamedBunX made a good video breaking it down, and there's a reason this guy puts a disclaimer in front of the video saying to do our own research
this 💀
bro didn't mention Zhongli debute incident when genshin community was unhappy that Zhongli was a sup and not dps, so they had to buff him to help genshin community happy.
Were you even there for that? You don't seem to know what you're talking about. He was genuinely awful. He wasn't even a good support. He'd get knocked over during his E charge. Geo was also very underpowered until they patched it along with his E.
@@jazzisbadatnames still g-community couldn't cope with it and decided to cry on the hoyolab or w/e its called and threaten the devs and vas for reason like that. tell me how thats normal.
To me, I think the fandom has so many "bad apples" because of the game's appeal to people who felt really lonely and isolated over COVID. Personally, I found the game to be an amazing escape during the pandemic, and I think that a lot of others did as well. That being said, it is so sad to see how so many people are losing common sense and social skills/respect because of their unhealthy addiction to the game even as things have opened back up. A lot of us found it as a great form of escapism (and still do), but those that have made it their entire lives and consume it to an unhealthy extent are the ones that we are seeing acting out and behaving inappropriately. There should be a clear distinction between having differing opinions on a game and one's real life/online actions. I hope the fandom can do better moving forward, but for now, I have chosen to distance myself from other fans besides my close friends.
Yeah I can kinda understand, i once said " i don't like raiden shogun" in a post which was asking "tell us your least favourite character".
After that it was notification after notification and all of them boils down to.....
We don't need you.
You are toxic.
Just don't play the game etc .
Since then i have distended myself from the genshin community.
this basically sums it up
I’ve been playing since covid and as you said, it was a great escape and still is. I consume a lot of genshin content because I like the inside jokes and the sense of community we all have. When horrible things like this happen I’m just utterly disgusted by it. those cats nor va’s didn’t deserve how they were treated at all. It’s just so disappointing seeing a solid game being destroyed by its community. I totally agree that these players have an unhealthy obsession with the game oml. Also, they hate wanderer for being a supposed war criminal but what about the traveller or Klee? (Spoilers just incase)The traveller goes against the raiden shogun and the sumeru scholars and there’s no hate to them? Probably because they chose lumine and they love girls. And klee- she drops bombs like no tomorrow so why no hate? Because she’s a girl as well as a child. They hated wanderer because of his attitude as well, saying they felt offended with how rudely he acted towards the traveller. What they did to those cats though was utterly disgusting.
Hoyoverse itself is so blind to so many things involving the game and I really hate how they don’t listen to recommendations from the community and just sit there like stunned mullet. They rlly need to address these topics and set some rules or just do SOMETHING to put the players in their place. They also don’t pay the English va’s on time. Corina boettger (paimon) and Brandon winckler (kazuhas friend and npc’s)
@@tusharrathore6330 tbh that post already looks like rage bait, you can't expect to find anything good inside
I feel this so much, I also started playing Genshin during the pandemic, the game gave me comfort and not exactly a place to escape to, but more like to just have fun with. I made many memories with it but now i'm glad I overcame my addiction
This is just sad. I feel like all of these crazy acts would completely dissuade people from playing the game, which is such a shame considering the actual game has nothing to do with any of this. I'm just hoping the community can improve, but mostly that the company learns from their mistakes.
I totally agree with this. I myself really enjoy the game and have been playing it for about over 2 years now. I’m just sad when I see all of these crazy acts and see that it discourages people from playing the game. Because like you said it has nothing to do with the actual game.
I agree. I used to only play the game for fun. I’ve seen some parts of the community that are toxic (Twitter but no surprise there lol), but other parts are more friendly and wholesome!
Precisely, I've played the games for a little over a year now and I've really enjoyed it and I've made some good friends through co-op, but because of the toxic people in the fandom, there are lots of stereotypes that go around and really aren't true.
ever noticed that out of all the events mentioned in the video, only the Kaveh hack one had something to do with in-game coop?
you know, where ACTUAL PLAYERS interact?
Really makes you think about where this controversy is coming from.
I'm not saying those events are faked, just that as long as you enjoy the game itself, little if any of "these crazy acts" will affect your experiece, after all retards doing retarded stuff has nothing to do with you, and you shouldn't be concerned just because they happen to play the same game. Just have fun!
I've been playing Genshin for a little over 2 years, but in all of my time playing the game I have only co-opped with strangers once or twice. It's mainly because I know how bad the Genshin community can get and because of all the stories I've heard. Even in real life, I've been given weird looks from the people I know, who don't play Genshin, by just mentioning that I play the game. It sucks and I don't think all players should get a bad rep because of the ones that made the bad decisions.
Man same here, I have been playing for 2 years too and I do the same thing you do, I actually feel ashamed when I admit to some people that I play Genshin because the fandom is very infamous for their toxic behavior. I tried convincing one of my friends that I don't go to the community and he didn't believe me.🥲🥲 He thinks I am the same as the rest of them and it kinda separated us after that. We don't talk much anymore.
Apologies for the rant! Hope you have a great day or night. :D

Good that you didn't dig into the Genshin shipping situation on Twitter. That's another crazy toxic rabbit hole.

This genuinely makes me sad. To think such an amazing game is tied to such a bad reputation because of a few (actually more than a few) fans is upsetting to me.

its a shitty ripoff of BOTW with anime girls with no clothes OR personalities. Stop kidding youself.
I have to hide the fact that I play genshin because of this Fandom 😭
And unfortunately because of that you instantly lose some reputation. Only because you play Genshin. Sad, but true
When i told my friend I play genshin because of the lore, gameplay and exploration, they was very surprised due to its reputation

It's one of those cases where the game itself is good, but the community surrounding it is questionably terrible.
It really sucks that our community has so many toxic people in it bc some people in the community are just trying to enjoy the game
Genshin doesn't have anywhere near the average toxicity of a fandom as large as it is.
they just wanted to start stupid ass drama and exaggerate how bad it is so that people see people that enjoy certain things (like genshin and roblox) as fat non humans. like i get theres toxicity duh but in reality half these shit in the video isnt even real , genshin has one the best fandoms and they dont want to admit it

The genshin community is so toxic I had to uninstall the hoyoverse app
There's both good side and bad side to the community. I met with the good side, and to be honest, I did not expect the situation of the other side of the fandom to be this bad.
Same. I do encounter some rats. But I kicked them. I have like 45 sane friends😂 they are all friendly.
4:50 I remember the Wings of Feasting event, myself and many other streamers turned down the offer due to some of the stipulations of the event (contract stuff) being absolutely insane. Hoyoverse has been learning over the years how to improve community events and I think they've done a better job as of late, but that first one was pretty rough. I really hope they just fund collabs more (more merch, less people doing crazy things at events to get said merch) and bring them worldwide in the future.

Yeah there was also the issue with the sonic fandom 😂
i'm a sane player ever since 2020, and SR too since day one, and frankly I could not care less to get mad for anything about the games. But overtime i grew incredibly hostile and resentful toward the entire community and fandom
And stay clear from anyone with a klee profile pic, this is my advice to you as a 3 year genshin veteran
Same as a sane player who joined this games from the very beggining, I agree. Fans of nahida on a site hurting REAL LIFE CATS because hoyo released an art of scaramouche as a cat is absurd!
As a genshin player, I play alone. Whenever I co-op, I had very few toxic interactions. In-game itself, I have a fun time 98% of the time. But social media interactions are so crowd-motivated. It’s best to just look at the building guides, and stay away from the mobs
3:51 I kid you not I got a ad of Genshin Impact
I am a Genshin player of 1 year now. I am currently AR56. I never interact with the community at all because the people that entered my world were mean/demanding or just straight up taking your stuff without permission (some stuff regenerates in 3+ days & that is a long wait, worthy to ask first before taking). I’ve always avoided the community because some of them are crazy to where you wonder if they ever touch grass or wonder if their parents ever liked/loved them. Its sad.
Damn, that sucks last time I play with random people on genshin was two years ago, people were pretty nice back then, they all ask first
90% of ppl will be the same as on release, kind, normal, etc
the other 10% only join your world to steal limited materials as when getting a new character they arent usable until they are leveled, and there arent an infinite amount of said materials

I’ve played since the game came out and in my experience 99% of the community is very wholesome and it’s just a fun chill game. The fact that the 1% gives the community such a bad reputation is horrible.
when a community is this huge the 1% is big as well, Genshin has about 60m players so 1% of that is 600k, and a number that huge is bound to be loud and noticed, sad to see that some people can go to these extreme measures of what should be a leisure time activity

i love wanderer, his character is well written and his attitude is a welcome change from the usual unending amiability of other characters. it’s absolutely heartbreaking to hear about those poor cats, and i hope the individuals behind everything that happened face/d punishment.
I hate him, but his personality is so well-written!
And the cat thing is so god damned fucked up
I love him
He dealt 21k/CA
Jokes aside as much as i hate cats but still
Killing cats because of a virtual april-fools prank?
Disgust.
Yeah, I agree. He's the most unique character cause the rest are always polite and/or balls of sunshine. He's legit the only character that's outright rude and has a playful banter with the Traveler outside of Paimon. Genshin needs more characters like that. The only other one I can think of is Miko, I guess.
The lengths people went over wanderer has always made me think the worst of the community. I thought the real reason people were hating on topaz’s kit pre-launch was because all but one of her abilities was featuring numby rather then all about her and that they thought that they were being “denied” more seconds of topaz in her anims
agreed.
but the community is very wholesome too... like supporting new creators on yt or the sherk incident also to be frank all popular games are like this
half way to the video, it stopped because of an ad from Honkai: Star Rail, a game made by the same developers of Genshin Impact.
Im just a low spender on Genshin Impact, how down bad can a person be to feel offended by a fictional character
this is an anime game where talking about, anime in general is insanely popular everywhere and some are more obsessed than others
I once saw two people fighting over the spot on a slot machine in Vegas. Almost as if building a community around addiction, manipulation and frustrating feedback loops is not the best way to build a healthy community.
Were they verbally or/and physically fighting?
Uhhh?
What does acting like children have anything to do with building community?
@@DomonkasshuSDIt's not acting like children, it's one of the basic human functions.
Can't say its only because of taking advantage of addiction, primarily because this stuff is what happens when any game gets too popular. If you look back at some events for some of the most popular games, you'll find that the stuff mentioned here are more common than one would think. I mean, just look at Pokemon Go. Its not the game itself. Its more along the lines of, the game has gotten so popular that people are uncontrollable and when you have bigger crowds, there's a bigger chance that a couple of those players are going to be absolute psychopaths.
In this case, the slot machine has a chance to print a cutout of their favorite waifu.
And two people fighting aren't even contest for that slot, they just use separated slot then have a conflicted view on each other's best girl.
It's incredibly hilarious how I got an ad for this game just before I watched
this NEEDS to be updated considering everything from december to jan/feb 😭

The toxic world of genshin impact❌
The toxic fandom of genshin impact ✅
True. The game itself, beside gacha mechanics, is great. The fandom? Damn I have never seen a fandom that puts all the blame on you without having any intention of further conversations.
@@onigirifool it's clear that the fandom is downright awful filled with many deplorable people who will harass you if you disagree with them.
@@onigirifoolI don't actually think the gacha is the worst part of the game. The real worst part IMO is grinding hours and hours in the same few domains to actually make your characters usable. They should make it like the gacha game Guardian Tales where you only have to beat the Domain once and can then claim its rewards while only using resin but not time.
@@diego_iiii Absolutely! At this point I don't even want to look at anything but gameplay guides anymore. People sh!tting on characters they dislike with no respect to those who like them is just terrible, and I'm tired of seeing negative responses every time I want to exchange opinions on the characters or the story writing.
@@YoshiAteTooManyYoshiCookies Like Honkai Star Rail? Damn... that would be convenient. I remember loathing the grinding part a lot when I first started Genshin, but I still got used to it somehow eventually.
Artifact system feels a lot like a gacha on its own within a gacha game, and to this day I believe no player can admit they like farming for it. But I do think an auto farm should be an option at least. Booting up the game daily just to perform the same inputs against the same enemies is starting to get repetitive indeed, and feels like a waste of time not to have any progress for like a month straight.
19:26 bro cant read numbers 💀☠️
about the censored words:
as a former GI player from russia, there was one update, where letters "Б" and some more were censored(that was before mihoyo became hoyoverse). and also it always censors the half of Dragonspine, which looks like "Драконий хр****", thinking that players are swearing. ngl, the game was genuinely fun for some time.
Why is it censored
@@yukraw6044
"драконий хребет" is censored because of "ебет" being a swear word. if you were asking about the letters... well, nobody knows why they tried that in the first place.
It's always the fandoms that ruin the media
ur pretty smart !
Sometimes its the Hatedoms.
Eh hoyo isn’t a pretty princes either. They practically extort genshin players compared to their honkai games
Not really
its not always the fandom that ruins it, it just depends on the game. I can name some fandoms that helped make the game better like red ball series' speedrun community (pushes the limits of that game to the fullest with a friendly competition), cuphead (modders making some rlly hard mods of cuphead for people to try) and omori (making some banger tear-shred animatics). Or maybe the fandom is like that because of the nature of the game like MLBB (a comically competitive game) or TCoAaL (that fandom is not as friendly just solely the 'protagonists' arent either).Given the genshin fandom is miles bigger than all the fandoms i mentioned combined but even then, theres still the good side of the fandom and whatver bad is in the genshin fandom may or may not be balanced by the good things (yes you can tell i barely snooped around the genshin fandom.)
From what I remember, Shirakami was arrested for profiting on a overseas service and not because he made nsfw vids. plenty of nsfw artists are still making them today.
Genshin Impact ad really did pop up while watching this video
once my country got the genshin impact illegal ad raid, and GI was banned in my country for only 2 weeks, like it pops up every 2 minutes and that kinda forced me to use adblocker.

The cat incident was terrifying. As a Chinese who has access to local social medias, i'll try to keep it brief.

This ab@se was leaked and people found out that he has done this to many other cats, the law has not done anything about it from what I know.
meaning he was doing it BEFORE genshin and was just using it as yet another excuse?
if youunderstand how corrupt the ccp is (they STEAL organs from political ememies) and the chinese poeaple are theatened in the poll that ask "do you 100% agree with the government" orsome sort of poll. thatw why CCP has a "100% approval rating" becuase those that diddent approve were at VERY LEAST thearted and reducated. others disapred more pernmantly.

The playerbase and the devs are wild, i just played the game for fun
I was playing Genshin as I heard all of this and was quite shocked, honestly.
I mean, I was aware many people hated it because of the community ruining the game (said by friends and classmates for example). But... never expected for some things to be that bad actually.
I never had any bad experiences in the game before, as I only met nice people in the game and met friends over there within a few years. But didn't know that some people would go as far just for cutouts and wings to flood a place...
It's really just the minority of the playerbase, the majority of players are actually pretty nice. Though this guy didn't cover everything it sure does expose how easily triggered the community can be. And that's why I just join their official gaming discords for updates on the game, emotes, and thats it
Even though its the minority of the player base u have to accept that Genshin fans nuking reviews in the play store and on google maps was hella funny and entertaining
I’m pretty shocked too. I didn’t know Hoyoverse created such ruckus on that game too. Because the player I met on the game are very nice and respectful. I also didn’t know that players could be that toxic... although I do admit I did met toxic players but not towards the game but the people playing.
I am kinda disappointed in this news. This is a first for me... Part of the Genshin community is just.. woah..

To be honest the best of the Genshin community way over shadoes the toxic. So many beautiful inside and out content creators both gameplay and lore.

Yup, I'd say that the general community is actually pretty nice and wholesome. Especially on YT and irl. And I think that's impressive considering its size. I know several smaller communities that I would describe as more toxic.

@@notsuper69 seems fair it's called do you dude👌
Genshin impact community has always been smthing else, not all but they cant control themself. One of the worst thing I find is for someone going to jail because of a random person hacked NSFW content into the zoom thingy.
The fact that people can't get over a fictional character is crazy
1:41 at this exact moment I got an ad for genshin impact.
As a genshin player, our fandom has done for Digusting things and the video just scratched the surface, this also shows how a few bad apples can destroy our reputation.
I try to stay away from “that” part of the community so much.. but sometimes it’s hard. I’ve already met a toxic player, who was nice at first, but they revealed their colours rather quickly later. It was quite sad to see. And so many more have been popping up lately.
It’s so sad. This is such a beautiful and relaxing game. It’s not hard to play (and I say that not as a pro gamer with a NASA pc, but as a fairly bad player with skill issues and a laggy laptops), it’s not competitive, so there’s really no reason for people to be so toxic about what others choose to play. Yet all too often, choosing a “trash” character will get you bullied in co-op.
And then there’s the forever fight about whose waifu is better. Whose ship is better. And how every two character of the same gender who does as much as have 2 sentences with each other are canonically a couple, and if you don’t agree then you’re a homophobic hater. It’s so tiring. I don’t understand why so many people in this community can’t understand that opinions are opinions, they’re not canon, and not any less valid than the opinions of another. Quite frankly I think a lot of people are just using “canon” to make their ships sound more valid, without understanding what it actually means for something to be canon in a story.
It’s not all bad, though. Most people are still normal and nice, even if you disagree with each other. Personally, I even made a friend too. We play together, mess around, talk about stupid stuff, laugh about characters being stuck in dumb positions or enemies flying away. It’s entertaining, you can just switch your brain off for a little and enjoy the small stuff as you adventure with a friend across beautiful landscapes. It’s everything I hoped I would find in a game like this. And it’s not because we’re so similar - we’re extremely different people, different ages, different countries, different opinions and views, but since we’re both normal, it isn’t a problem. We even disagree with ships. All of her ships are ones I personally disagree with, and the only one I have she doesn’t like. But that isn’t an issue - why should it be…?
At least that’s what a normal interaction between players should be like. There are far too many who take fiction way too seriously, to the point that they place the “feelings” and “rights” of fictional characters over that of actual living people. It’s… really something else.
You basically just summed up how I feel about this as well in a much more concise way than I ever could
its honestly hard to continue playing this game after learning the things its community does, there really are alot of cool ppl out there but... genshin's reputation was already ruined and unless you play the game for yourself you will always think of this as a game for weebs that love gambling and are toxic as hell. And anyone that is not a genshin impact player will just continue to hate this game and its players after learning about that crap.
And I am definetely not blaming anyone for thinking like that, I'd definetely think the same if I never tried out the game
