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.

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
