For me, the focus is more on the character’s story and relationships rather than their skin tone.

I don’t think people bring up the skin tone so that it can prevail on the story , they said that because the characters dont rappresent well the region they are based on

@juanelric it's like you just see what you want to see. All of a sudden characters like Dehya, Kaeya, Xinyan, Jeht, etc just no longer exist huh?
@Ironhide isn't saying the characters aren't dark enough to suit one's tastes somewhat of a racist take in of itself?

@thechampionmike95 characters who are still VERY light skinned compared to, for example, Lois Griffin.
They're not the exception to the rule, they're part of the problem

@juanelric no I think the problem is very much you. To say "x character should be darker" is a very racist mindset. You're judging a character not by their culture but by how dark their skin is. By that mindset it's wrong to be a light skin person of character.
Also didn't you say you stopped playing? Why go around complaining about a game you don't even play? To ruin it for the actual fans?
Also it's very telling how now skin color and representation matter. I don't recall you ever complaining when all the Asian characters looked white. Or to you representation only matters when your skin is darker?

None of the Asian characters in look white, almost all of the characters regardless of ethnicity look like light skinned East Asians (Anime Edition™)

@thechampionmike95 I'm complaining about characters based on Latin American and Sub-Saharan natives not looking like their real life counterparts.
And I don't see how me no longer playing (for unrelated reasons even) means I'm no longer allowed an opinion.
Yeah, there's a lot of variety between real people, but that's the thing: the variety in Genshin Impact is minimal.
And as much as I hate his voice actor for being an actual racist, J.J. from Granblue Fantasy is proof you can have anime style characters with actual dark skin.
I find it way more telling that you're willing to brush Mihoyo's racism aside and instead think I have to consider every little thing before I am even allowed to complain about one thing.

I think it's more than our right to complain when we're being used as their content and they never bothered to portray an essential part of our countries.

And someone was afraid that mentioning lolicon would put people in arms.
The only sad part is I won't be able to enjoy those characters without either being called a racist by one side or the other side thinking I'm a based chud or whatever kids those days call it. And all I care about is to play my predatory gacha game in peace and have fun with it.
