Critical support to MiHoYo for taking money from gamer-gulag and introducing them to the immortal science.

Shoutout to that guy on lem.ee who said he was pro-CPC because he played Genshin Impact.

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That was so funny, I think I even saved the quote somewhere

Edit: here's the bit I had saved

if Chinese game devs are legit trying to propagandize Marxist theory I may, Allah forgive me, have to play a grindy Chinese gacha game in support

This just made me realize my lib brain had sectioned off Chinese games because "china bad." Brb, whole ass new world to explore.

Edit: I used to play Arknights until it took all my money, I remember that now too. kermit-pain

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just because China isn't bad doesn't mean that gacha games aren't predatory trash.

[–] charlie@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Absolutely. Actually kinda based of China cause that experience helped turn me left.

I still love bluepoison tho

Unfortunately the dengist dogs at mihoyo refuse to increase their drop rates of 5 star characters like the revisionists that they are

[–] trudge@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Please press the communism button and give us better drop rates President Xi!

Image textJak: Only a very small part of the wealth a sharecropper creates will belong to him. If this is understood and regarded as normal by all, then what is there about this situation that is hard to comprehend?

See! If there are some who will reap the benefits despite doing no labor, then there must be some who shall have to do more to compensate.

The ebil see see pee is putting propaganda into my anime game!

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

At first I didn't believe it, knowing so many other games that skirt that line.

Then I remembered the company was Chinese! xi-shining

it's written in the 5 year plan that Mihoyo must remove all female character's cleavage while doubling the number of kemonimi males with completely bare tummies

Literally 1984 that the Chinese version of boykisser wasn't added

[–] dinklesplein@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

the discourse about this on korean/chinese genshin forums goes CRAZY by the way. otaku/ACGN culture not even once

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

All volumes of On the Governence of China as in-game lore readables.

Is maxor leftist? From his last video I thought he was, uh, not. He describes chucking a boulder at someone as a "plst*n**n high-five"

[–] invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

He's about as leftist as Mandalore and Valefisk.

A lot of his videos have pretty deep cut references to socialism. Not sure if he's got other brain worms though.

[–] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago

He's probably a progressive liberal of some kind. He made communist jokes previously but not vitriolic ones, kind of ironic ones

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

Last time he came up someone said they thought he was a vaushite. I haven't seen any conclusive proof either way but I think we can all agree he's more than a little :sus:

[–] BynarsAreOk@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah if you watch the MGS raiden video, you know the whole US Senator guy. Lets just say that is bare minimum leftist critique you'd find around before the current blue MAGA era. Doesn't mean he is a leftist, but that is the only video I watched(and its funny and good too) so I don't think he is particularly right wing/gamer/Trump guy either. I could be completely wrong though.

I know people love this type of stuff but I kind of detest this style of pastel-y 3D anime look bern-disgust

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't like any anime stuff generally, but thought this game's landscapes in the first region, Mondstadt, were gorgeous. I think a lot of the character design is questionable though. Stopped playing when the internal cringe factor got too high for me to keep going back to the dopamine tap.

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

I hate it but Marxist frogs are chill
