DONT STOP TALKING ABOUT PALESTINE! DONT STOP TAKING ABOUT GAZA!

DONT LET THEM MAKE YOU FORGET!!

CN translation(a bit wonky)

After short periods of research I have determined that Shaoji and the development and art teams have no intention of portraying black people and instead preferring to censor them at every turn. Throughout their promotional livestream and interviews, they have repeatedly mentioned the American Jazz Age, and failed to even MENTION the curators of the Jazz Age, African-Americans. Hoyoverse themselves have said they’re going global as of 2022 so there’s no excuses. This is just flat out racism. Stop supporting it and stop spending on them. If you disagree with racism, then help chop down their profit and engagement.

spoilers for the bar event. a disobedient monkey got whipped. deadass. im not sure i have words right now. anybody calls this good writing i am hitting them over the head with to kill a mockingbird

please pass on this info within the next 10 days BEFORE Star Rail 2.1 because when the version starts everyone will talk over this with their OWN character issues and own impressions from the game.

I’ve explained this about 10 times before getting censored on 3 subreddits and ignored about 5 times. I’m used to it.

Honkai: Star Rail’s new region, Penacony, has served to erase black people, black history, and black influence from the Jazz Age.

I’m rather used to this getting swept under the rug with their other games, Honkai Impact 3rd, and Genshin Impact, but given the amount of money they had been shilling for this game I expected a fresh start. Sooo as a black dude myself I guess it’s been easier to pick up on microagressions plus I’m autistic so my brain runs through things for details well(I’m also a gay dude desperate for representation so yeah I pick up on EVERYTHING).

The Jazz Age itself was a unique period in American History with the rise of prohibition of alcohol and black families celebrating their newfound freedom post slavery and slowly attempting to integrate into a White dominated American society. During this period, African-Americans from New Orleans cultivated the musical style we now know as Jazz.

Black jazz musicians were the main reason the Jazz Age reached worldwide popularity and Jazz broke out all over America. To sum this up, Black people making the most of their struggles in this time period are responsible for the Jazz Age.

Now it goes without saying that HYV, no matter how much they try to humanize themselves and make the people at the top look innocent, have more or less never been even remotely kind about positive representation of black and brown people in their games.

we sadly know there are no black characters in Penacony. there was NO attempt to pay tribute to African-Americans and their soul in the birth of Jazz. They just stole it to portray magical fantasy white angels devils and robots.

So, they’re spending all this money on advertising with LA events, buying the Vegas Sphere at one point, giving players gratuitous free pulls, making their anniversary into a party, to obfuscate their appropriation and theft of black history.

i’m tired and I know a lot of fans dont have a reason to get invested in the problems of their big fixation or what their favorite game company is doing wrong, you can help if you continue asking them at every new corner, every new promotion, every new character,

Why? Why not depict any black characters in this Jazz fantasy? Why not let us have this one thing? Why release this faux Jazz area to speak over black history month? Why won’t you add Black characters? Why?

The IOF opened fire on starving civilians trying to collect food aid murdering dozens and injuring an estimated hundreds or more they then crushed some of the injured by running over them with tanks. This was their “reason.”

Compliation of HYV's disparagments towards Black and Brown people in Honkai Star Rail

Let me be clear I'm no big hater of this game, but as a Black dude who has continously tried to enjoy and immerse myself in it, I've grown rather tired of its success and reach with the shamelessness and unnecessary bigotry of the developers.

As such I’ve compiled a list of one of their main faults which is their unnecessary racism towards brown and black people.

1st. Carole Peppers. As explained in the following presentation, yes she was scrapped from Star Rail despite being in its original concept trailer with Welt. She’s a walking cariacture.

2nd. Arlan. The only melanated character in the fantasy space game with talking robots and dragons(????!?). As we know he’s unsurprisingly the worst character in the game and is the only one who doesnt use skill points.

3rd. Penacony. Based off the Jazz Age. You’ll never guess who invented and popularized Jazz.

Ill update this as I compile more of their shameless writing. Not a single content creator seems to care so I thought itd be beneficial to have in depth issues on slides.

Ill see if I can make enough of these and circulate this info in a way that FORCES either content creators or the game team themselves to address this. The goal I have is to air out this stupid pattern of racism before they try to hypnotize everybody with their anniversary rewards 🫤
