Genshin Impact is facing more accusations of cultural appropriation and whitewashing, and some of its voice actors are asking publisher HoYoverse to make changes.

Fan outcry stems from what many feel is a failure to accurately represent the cultures each character pulls from, including the fact that Mavukia, Kinich, and Ororon — who seem to be inspired by real-life deities like the Maori’s Mahuika — are all white. It continues a trend in Genshin Impact that has seen players begging for proper representation.

Now some of the actors behind Genshin Impact’s faces have begun to chime in. Albedo actor, Khoi Dao, published a statement on X/Twitter calling for change in Genshin Impact.

      I feel like they didn’t really do his arc yet. It sucked because him and Vincent are more or less just hanging around, but I think it’s too early to say whether or not he’s way off base.

      The game needed a travel mechanism and Cid fits the bill, he needs to fit the environment too so, it’s not like he’s gonna cuss you out.
