Fan outcry stems from what many feel is a failure to accurately represent the cultures each character pulls from, including the fact that Mavukia, Kinich, and Ororon — who seem to be inspired by real-life deities like the Maori’s Mahuika — are all white. It continues a trend in Genshin Impact that has seen players begging for proper representation.
Now some of the actors behind Genshin Impact’s faces have begun to chime in. Albedo actor, Khoi Dao, published a statement on X/Twitter calling for change in Genshin Impact.
Its important because natlan is completely based on culture of people of color. Nicaragua i think, and south america. So ofcourse its bad when all the characters are white.
Also why are you annoyed with black women in leading positions in a movie with a dude that has some god hammer and can fly and other weird stuff? You got so triggered by it that you walked out of the cinema? 😑
Nah, I got triggered by the lack of any meaningful conversation, the bad writing, the lame jokes…
The black walkyrie in Norse mythology just feels like a black founding fathers of the US.
Now if they would have some narrative as to how she got there, like she’s wakandan and she just somehow ended up there, that would be a whole(some) other story.
Marvel’s Thor is not Norse mythology, the guy fought aliens alongside a guy in a robot suit.
If you were talking about the first few movies I’d get it, but by the time of Love and Thunder they aren’t even in Asgard anymore.
Black founding father was done in Hamilton to great critical acclaim
What you are saying is just racism. Because you just can’t see past the color of their skin
How exactly is “not seeing past the color of their skin” racism? Please, this is a genuine question.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
Your are saying Black actors cannot be cast in roles because their skintone is not “correct” for the role.
So… this means that a black person can be cast for the role of Hitler? And a white person can be cast for Nelson Mandela?
Yep
I think it depends on context and execution and culture. Key and peele did a black Hitler I think, and nobody cared
Someone should write them a strongly worded letter for infringing on white representation and ruining the man’s good reputation.
