With Nod Krai bringing Genshin back and WuWa making waves, it's time to talk about tribalism.
Is this Genshin? youtube.com/watch?v=GoOJoFgE_44&list=PL9ZYbPkYPaHPKf8VMpUmv3FwURBFoFJem
The gacha space is forever filled with rage and divisive takes, with people picking sides and refusing to engage with one another. If my experience is anything to go by, it’s very easy to get caught in the crossfire, and many people will take a simple misunderstanding and extrapolate from there until they think they know everything about your perspective.
A lot of this is the fault of content creators — or if not “fault”, at least responsibility — but unfortunately the incentives created by the platforms we use and basic human nature make this whole mess almost inevitable.
Fortunately, while the people who revel in all of that are loud, they are a minority. And while it is a little annoying to have to deal with, I do find it fascinating.
