Western social media users are calling for a boycott of Genshin Impact, a free-to-play RPG by miHoYo Co., Ltd, which is based in Shanghai, China. Earlier in April, “Boycott Genshin Impact” trended on Twitter, with calls for the boycott centering mostly around allegations of racism. These allegations stem from three specific characters in the game in addition to a video which appears to show a digital artist using a video of Native Americans as a reference for some of the game’s monsters.
