I'm so fucking annoyed at the number of english-speaking hoyoverse players who play with the japanese subtitles

I'm only speaking about like, streamers and youtubers because those are the ones i see playing, obviously (and i'm only talking about genshin impact and honkai star rail bc those are the 2 hoyo games i play but i'm willing to bet the trend is the same in other hoyo games, and possibly in other chinese "anime" games)

The number of times i click on a video and the person speaks english but has their game set to japanese dubbing for no reason, like. Can you guys stop being weebs for just one second please.

#if you don't like listening to dubbing in your native language bc it feels awkward or whatever (i feel you)#or you love listening to foreign languages (which is great! i do too!) then why not #and bear with me for a second #listen to the game's original audio #the devs' language #CHINESE.#you're all so happy to play this fun chinese game but you're also very conveniently avoiding the language for some reason #now i don't want to reach too far in my theories but could it be the r word. the ism. mmmmmmmmmmmMMMMMH.#i'm not tagging this one because i don't want to risk it but maybe i'll change my mind later because this is annoying me so fucking much #and you're all talking about your 'waifus' and shit but most of you never learnt how to properly pronounce the chinese names in these games #and i'm blaming half of that on the weird and inconsistent (and sometimes straight up horrendous) choices #of name pronunciation in the english dubbing #(no media before genshin has truly made me hate localization as a concept because MAN do they fucking butcher some of those languages #for NO reason other than to coddle english speaking audiences #'buuuhuuu but we can't have all these french words have accents in them people will not understand they will be confuseeed'#ACCENTS EXIST SPECIFICALLY SO YOU KNOW HOW TO PRONOUNCE THE WORD. YOU CAN'T JUST ERASE THEM.)#anyways i'm going off a tangent here. my point is.#just TRY the chinese dubbing god dammit #'gnagnagna japanese is so elegant while chinese is so rough and ugly' how about you fuck off
