I have to be honest, I did enjoy Natlan, from start to finish. I did not care for representation at all (cause I‘m a basic white bitch) and I enjoyed the ships I came up with. Also the chars are really fucking great.
Feel free to disagree with me, I really am open to accept this ~
I think the characters are neat, however I do fear that using a culture (even for aesthetics) without proper representation then it is culturally insensitive and that’s what I don’t want to support, but people are complaining abt the wrong things imo!
I think ironically the final part of natlans main quest actually did SO many things RIGHT, cinematic final fight, real consequences, ACTUAL TAYVAT LORE THAT CONNECTS TO OTHER THINGS EXPLICITLY?!?!? but yall wanna bitch that there’s no Yaoi to Fujo out over??? Crazy
Imma be honest I was so pissed about Natlan I haven’t touched the game at all and haven’t kept up with Genshin news 💀
I’m still pissed. Like sorry dudes why u using parts of my culture and making the characters pale af
Which sucks too cuz when it was first brought up I was hyped af. I was like wow they did such a good job with Fontaine I can’t wait to see what they do for Natlan :3c Rae gets representation real.
And then disappointment 😔
No that’s real asf, and that’s exactly why I was so critical, however I will say story wise I do think they did a decent job, the framework for culturally important things within natlan was there, and they really didn’t stray far, I just wish the characters had like,,,,any hues outside #FFFFFF
