I'm extremely disappointed in Natlan.
Genshin was always my comfort game, and I had some criticism for Fontaine, as there were some aspects I felt immersion breaking, but in general I loved that region. Natlan... exploration wise and looks wise it's nice. Atmosphere wise it retained that Genshin light-heartedness. But the exploration is a bit clunky, and I feel like there's so little content. Like a huge area only has one or two chests, there are barely any world quests.
Story wise... It's not bad, I don't want to say that, but I feel like lot of the established world-building and lore was ignored. They made Mavuika human, and the pyro archon human in general which goes against the whole humanity vs divinity theme. Sure I think the manga said that vision holders can ascend, but it was never mentioned ever in game, and it's clearly not the case with Mavuika. Not to mention, first came Raiden who knew nothing about Celestia and Khaenri'ah, then came Nahida who also didn't know anything, then Furina who was also clueless. In the beginning of the game it was established that Venti and Zhongli are the only original archons, and that Nahida is the youngest. And then Mavuika comes along who's human.
Character wise.... Where are the men? Like I know that the Western fandoms doesn't get this, but male characters in gacha games are the female fanservice. Like the whole female dominance isn't because it's a girlpower game, it's because it's a waifu collector game. If you look a bit deeper you'll find men refusing to play with male characters (also getting mad that they exist), and they always sell worse. Which I'm not saying it's a bad thing, like pull for who you want. I pull for plenty of women. But male characters are the sign that the game tries to cater towards women.
The designs. Like colourism aside... It's more about immersion break. Mualani is fine. Kinich outfit wise is fine, his pixel aesthetic not so much. It's hella immersion breaking, but because it's only an effect, it doesn't disturb as much me. Kachina's little driller? Completely fine other than being clunky. Her outfit? She came out of those 1980's athletic programs. Xilonen? Someone from the 2020. She looks so out of place as soon as you leave Natlan. Her rollerblades are also pretty immersion breaking, but not as much as her DJ set, which is outright futuristic. Ororon I think it's fine, sure he has jeans, but he doesn't look like someone you can meet on the streets. Citlali other than her hifi headpeaces is also cute. Chasca is laughable, both how out of place she looks, and her stupid flying revolver. Like that's a gimmick. A gimmick that is okay in HSR, in Genshin it's just stupid. Finally, Mavuika and her motorcycle. We're still waiting for horses in Mondstadt while Mavuika is speeding on her motorcycle. I don't give a fuck if it's the dragon technology, why is Mondstadt stuck in the middle ages and Natlan is in 2020? Also dragons/vishaps are supposed to be a secret that a whole god was executed for knowing. But suddenly a whole nations know about it and it's fine?
Finally, a bit of leaks, so skip this if you don't want to see it. Also not really doomposting, we still have a lot of left until the new patch, but...
But yes sure make another main DPS next to 6 5 stars and 5 4 star pyro DPS. We definitely don't need someone who is at least a sidegrade to Xiangling, so A we can finally have someone who doesn't need 300 ER, B isn't glued to Bennett taking up two spaces on a team instantly, C is an actually interesting character and D you can put them into different teams in the Spiral Abyss.
More art for @jonmartinweek !

an unfriendly reminder ☺️
The words they're afraid of.
(Read on our blog.)
The recently appointed Department of Defense head Pete Hegseth (formerly Fox News pundit, perpetually soused creepy uncle, and current group chat leaker of classified intel) banned images of the Enola Gay from the Pentagon’s website for the offense of “DEI” language. In keeping with the far right’s stated war on anything vaguely resembling diversity, equity and inclusion, even historical photos are up for cancellation. When a literal weapon of mass destruction is censored for being a bit fruity under the Trump administration’s war against inconvenient truths, what exactly is left untouched?
This is clown show stuff, but the stakes are far from funny. While some might be hesitant to compare the current administration to the very worst history has to offer, we can at least all agree that they are dyed-in-the-wool grammar Nazis. Policing language has been the objective of the MAGA culture war long before Project 2025’s debut—the wave of book bans orchestrated by astroturf movements like Moms for Liberty, and Florida’s 2022 Don’t Say Gay bill have already had a profound effect in the arena of free speech and freedom of expression (despite the far right’s long tradition of doublespeak performative free-speech martyrdom to the contrary). Don’t Say Gay ostensibly targeted K-3 education, but LGBT+ content at all levels of education (and beyond) was either quietly censored or entirely preempted in practice. The results were not just a war on so-called ideology, or words alone—but on reality and essential freedoms.
Now, words as innocuous and important as racism, climate change, hate speech, prejudice, mental health, and inequality are targeted as subversive. Entire concepts are being vanished from government institutions, scrubbed not only from descriptions but from metadata, search indexes, and archival frameworks.
If you don’t name a thing, does it exist?
These words are as numerous as they are generic: women, race, Black, immigrants, multicultural, gender, injustice. But what is painfully unserious is also particularly dangerous in its real-world consequences. The process of controlling words is a well-worn authoritarian tendency. Fifty-two universities are now under investigation as part of the President's effort to curb “woke” research and thought crimes. Institutions are being coerced to comply with a nebulous set of ideological demands, or face budgetary annihilation. That means cutting funding for entire departments, slashing financial aid, defunding scientific grants, and pressuring faculty to self-censor.
The possibilities for censorship extend far and wide—interfering, by extension, in everything from reproductive healthcare programs, to libraries and museums. The Trump administration’s proposed budget slashing all federal funding for libraries, including the Institute of Museum and Library Services, will effectively gut an infrastructure that supports over 100,000 libraries and museums across the country—community centers, educational lifelines, internet access points, and archives of marginalized histories (starting with the Smithsonian Institution).
When you erase access, you erase participation. And when you erase participation, you erase people, and the means by which future generations might even learn they existed. A culture that cannot remember is a culture that cannot resist.
The erasure is, yet again, unsurprisingly targeted at minorities and LGBT+ people. The National Parks Service quietly revised the Stonewall Monument’s website to remove references to transgender people—a fundamental part of the original protests. Not an oversight, not a mistake, but a deliberate excision—one point in a wider plan of erasure depicted in stark detail in Project 2025, a blueprint to dismantle civil rights, defund LGBT+-related healthcare, and rewrite history from the ground up.
Dehumanization by deletion—welcome to the reactionary resurgence of doubleplusungood governance. In Trumpland, words are weapons—but not in the way they intend. Their fear of language betrays its power; that’s why they’re trying so hard to police it.
Words hurt them.
Hurt them back.
