i can't with this anymore. People who defend hoyoverse are straight up 58 year old gooner men whos minds are smaller than my left toe.
The fan service in Genshin is getting way 2 out of HAND. It's not just tiny fan service, where woman's clothes have little slits in them showing their skin. It's like RIGHT IN YOUR FACE FAN-SERVICE.
Take Varesa for example. Shes meant to be a wrestler who likes to eat, right? And she also lives in the hottest nation, Natlan. So tell me.. WHY IS SHE WEARING LEG WARMERS??
Her outfit is straight CHEEKS. The mini skirt, the way they outlined her boobs, its not even subtle. They are just straight putting her chest OUT THERE.
Also, they made her face so baby like? And her trailer was just even worse. It's obvious shes just made for fetish. They made her entire personality about eating and eating, and when she was in the trailer, did anybody notice the unnecessary movements she was making towards the camera? How they literally animated her wiggling her behind in the first shot?
Don't get me wrong, I find her adorable and she had potential. But Hoyoverse is weird and creepy and ruins every female design (EXCEPT Fontaine. That was peak.)
Also I forgot to mention, but apparently she is plus sized as well? In what world is she plus sized, thats literally just an hourglass body. Making your hips and thighs 2 inches wider does NOT make you plus sized, it just pmo.
Her fighting style is based on Lucha Libre, which is a professional fighting style in Mexico. But the way she moves/fights is nothing compared to Lucha Libre.
The way she stops when she runs, shoving her whole cheeks in our face is blatantly obvious fanservice. How she falls, punches, and everything is just really weird.
The next e;g is Mavuika.
Now Mavuika is actually based off of Mahuika, the Maori godness of fire. But if we compare Mavuika and Mahuika, we can see a MASSIVE difference.
First of all, Mavuika is PALE WHITE. She has no melanin or Maori in her what-so-EVER. Mahuika is brown, which clearly shows a sign of racism in Genshin Impact (There were many signs before that.)
Next we need to talk about is her clothing. I'm assuming they tried to go for a more "Motorcyclist" vibe, but there nothing about the culture she is based off of, which is Maori.
And can we please talk about her random ass motorcycle?
Why in the hell is there a MOTORCYLE?? Isn't Genshin set up to be in some sort of midevil time? There is nothing in the lore where anybody has this kind of technology anywhere.
Fontaine has robotics, but they do not have advanced technology like phones and especially motorcycles. They still use carriages and horses to drive around.
Sumeru, Inazuma, Mondstad and Liyue also do not have any advanced technology like that. So again, WHY DOES MAVUIKA HAVE A MOTORCYLE?
They also made her such a mary sue (Mary Sue is a term used for when a character has no flaws and is simply perfect.) Mavuika has no personality at all, she is simply boring.
anyways I'm tired, and I'm going to bed.

To be honest the whole fan service thing is really bugging me in Genshin too and the updates (to me at least) feel at the moment just kinda soulless... And when you look at the other hoyo games like HSR which is getting way more love by for example (unrelated to topic but it's just there to make a point) giving players constantly free pulls unlike genshin. It feels to me like they're just using genshin as a money milking machine because it's so widely available and already popular and then pour the money into other projects and give those projects more love

I haven't played Genshin Impact in a long time. However, I occasionally find out which characters have arrived or are coming. When I saw the trailer for Varesa, I got a really bad feeling. The scene where Varesa eats a taco and focuses on her stomach was, in my opinion, EXTREMELY UNNECESSARY. What were the creators thinking?! When I first saw Mavuika, I thought she was the leader of a singer band or a gang. I was partly right about the singer band, but what? She's an Archon? I would have thought Hoyoverse would come up with a real warrior character type since Nathland is the Nation of war. Unfortunately, they didn't, and what's with the zipper on her outfit? Why does it go around the bottom?! WHY THERE OF ALL PLACES?! WHY!? It's really bad... :(
