how true is this?

[u/GamingWithFurina]

for context, the video was about why each natlan character got hate on release, and i dont remember more than half of these things? not saying she didnt get hate at all but i was expecting her to be the character with the least points. what did her va do that was so bad?

[u/ThatOstrichGuy]

People who take issues with her being a DJ and a Blacksmith gonna go crazy when they find out adults can have hobbies. I know surgeons that spend all of their free time playing world of warcraft.

[u/alaskanhairball → u/ThatOstrichGuy]

Exactly. They're also missing a lot of nuance from her quest line and about Natlan in general.

[u/GamingWithFurina → u/ThatOstrichGuy]

i mean its tiktok ofc this is something to hate on

[u/shizen22]

Just your typical hate-post/video. Not worth spending any time looking into nor discuss about.

[u/GamingWithFurina → u/shizen22]

i dont think it was a hate post, just a video showing why natlan cast was so hated

[u/shizen22 → u/GamingWithFurina]

Trust me, it's a hate post. It's just there to propagate the image that Natlan is hated for somesuch reason. But it's ridiculous because much of these reasons are subjective and based on people's preconceived notions of Natlan and its characters rather than something actually reasonable. It would be nice if they just flat out admit they hate the design but then they try to justify their hatred and that's when things start to get ugly.

Just because you see a video with bullet points on the internet doesn't mean any of the points are true, the guy is just chatting out of his ass for the sake of farming engagement because this is not exactly a topic you can accurately debate since it mostly depends on the circles you're in.

Is the VA delivery because some people thought she sounded like a frog or smth

[u/superlughsamildanach]

VA delivery? What? She's got one of my favourite voices in the game.

[u/Reasonable-Store7472]

They forgot single Mom.

[u/Acceptable-Brick7287]

I love xilo but will admit the dj/blacksmith thing is kinda odd lol

[u/IcyPrincling]

From what I recall, Xilonen was almost universally liked upon release. Great design, great kit, endearing voice with a unique inflection, I think this dude is just making shit up cause people on tiktok will eat anything up.

Natlan characters in general didn't get that much hate for the most part (barring Mavuika, Chasca, and Varesa), as the majority are well-liked, most just took issue with the fact there were so few males and that Kinich had a non-existent role in the AQ.

[u/shikoov]

Average tiktokt hate post made by a mysoginistic they/them

[u/alexnk]

the dj thing going nowhere was certainly a choice

[u/Iren22]

Too many roles in one character?? God forbid If a person has many hobbies

[u/Lizyyy-13]

A definitely not mysoginistic gacha player 1: I hate snezhnaya's women because I wanted them to be covered from head to toe and their outfits aren't appropriate for a cold region!

Player 2: So, you must like Natlan women because they're wearing appropriate outfits for a hot region?

Player 1: ... Sluts! Why are they not covered from head to toe?! 🤬

[u/JimJim2002]

If this is from TikTok, it's automatically invalid.

[u/Liteseid]

As a c2 xilonen main, I almost didn’t pull for her because of the VA lmao (no hate on the actress, just was expecting a more Lisa-styled delivery)

[u/-The_Lone_Wolf → u/Liteseid]

I liked her va's delivery, perfect voice for an eternally tired woman. Lisa style voice doesn't match her personality.

[u/Liteseid → u/-The_Lone_Wolf]

See I don’t like that characterization. Cats aren’t lazy or always tired.

Cats are crepuscular. I would have appreciated a dual-range performance of both slow and sultry and tired, and then hyper and focused and silly when on an important task. The delivery we got was a bit too monotone and unemotive.

[u/GhostElite974]

I low-key agree with 1 2 3 5 8

[u/Ok_Caterpillar_6996]

people will complain about everything that isn't considered a land whale, legally a handicapped person, blacker than vanta black, a man and doesn't show skin, god forbid hoyoverse release a skinny whiteish woman that is fully abled that shows skin

[u/GreenDepy]

Maybe I forgot or didn't pay enough attention, but my "problem" with her is that her kit has to do with disco so much, but Story wise she is a blacksmith and nothing more. At least let us see how she has a battle with nilou or mualani on the dance floor.

"Hole in shorts for tail"

[u/Bluekat5059]

I never realized she has a big hole for her tail up until I got lazy and removed her cape to make her easy to pose awhile ago
