Critical support to MiHoYo for taking money from 
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.
That was so funny, I think I even saved the quote somewhere
Edit: here's the bit I had saved
I don't even see any politics on my instance! listen dude, i actually support china because i play genshin impact
Many such cases among comp sci students actually.
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. 
Just because China isn't bad doesn't mean that gacha games aren't predatory trash.
Absolutely. Actually kinda based of China cause that experience helped turn me left.
I still love bluepoison tho
oh it's like Rimworld
wtfUnfortunately the dengist dogs at mihoyo refuse to increase their drop rates of 5 star characters like the revisionists that they are
Please press the communism button and give us better drop rates President Xi!

Jak: 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!
At first I didn't believe it, knowing so many other games that skirt that line.
Then I remembered the company was Chinese! 
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
doubling the number of kemonimi males with completely bare tummies
Literally 1984 that the Chinese version of 
wasn't added
the discourse about this on korean/chinese genshin forums goes CRAZY by the way. otaku/ACGN culture not even once
All volumes of On the Governence of China as in-game lore readables.
can we get a Marxist frog emoji
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"
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.
He's probably a progressive liberal of some kind. He made communist jokes previously but not vitriolic ones, kind of ironic ones
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:
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 
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.
the game is gorgeous, I can imagine that some scenes in the newer updates were added into the game just as they appeared in the concept art. the story is also interesting, but based on the monetization scheme I doubt it will ever get properly wrapped up
I hate it but Marxist frogs are chill

Heresy
