#but if inazuma military nation is on the table so is snezhnaya evil soviets in red (did u guys seriously miss that)

I think genshin impact players should acknowledge the significance of a Chinese game making the Japan-inspired nation Inazuma into a military state which prosecutes its own citizens for treason when they start having too much power to fight back and has had its landscape decimated by an ongoing and seemingly pointless war,

but I also think that having acknowledged that, genshin impact players should think on it and not have opinions about it because the west has far too long a history of having opinions when it should keep quiet

#genshin impact #genshin #not a meme this time #inazuma #genshin inazuma #like there is definitely something to be said about the China stand-in being prosperous and the Japan stand-in being a military state #but unless you are a historian (and I mean with a degree not 10 minutes of google) #or an anthropologist (same conditions) #or asian I really don’t think you need to have an opinion #as much as inazuma’s militant nature is a jab at japan #snezhnaya being the evil nation is equally much Russia bad propaganda #and Mondstadt being the city of freedom is very much elbowing America like eh? eh? Yeehaw eagle noises freedom? #like yt westerners love to point out propaganda when it’s like not connected to them #but if inazuma military nation is on the table so is snezhnaya evil soviets in red (did u guys seriously miss that) #and Mondstadt so much freedom the state is practically sponsoring shoddy business practices and letting the poor suffer #and liyue great prosperous nation which was only attacked by the likes of a giant sea monster and not any fatui #like every piece of media you consume is going to have political undertones in it #and whether or not you agree really doesn’t matter you just have to recognize them and be prepared to find them
