We've hit a HUGE milestone yesterday of 10,000 signatures, and now AGAIN with 20,000 today which means we're ready to take the petition to influencers and content creators.
I can only post 1 update a day via change.org so I'll try to fit as much as I can into this one message!
Our achievements
The momentum of this movement is growing stronger each day. We've successfully doubled our numbers every 24hrs.
The boycott has grown huge on twitter now with over 3k followers of the page, and many people adopting the tag #BoycottHYV in their posts and X names. You can help too by going FTP and leaving 1 star reviews on the app store. (They can be edited when Hoyoverse comply!) We have a guide for what to include if you're unsure.
The new Honkai Star Rail trailer
Sugilite is confirmed to be a POC character with a darker skintone. This is an amazing development! Not only did we have an amazing POC Voice Actor casted who is aware of our situation, but also another POC character!
Do remember, we still have many problems with Hoyo; Natlan, Sumeru, and Penacony and more.
This just means that what we are doing is working! This is the proof of the fact that we are being heard! Small wins are worth celebrating, it motivates us to move forward and to stand strong! But that does not mean we can stop here. This is just the bare minimum; we can't accept and be complacent with Hoyo because of one character in one of their games.
Sugilite isn't the only POC in this group, Aventurine is also, but he was severely whitewashed; listen to Rroma voices first and foremost, as they know best regarding his character. Keep sharing their educational threads on twitter!
Our voices are being heard!
Content creators big and small are starting to take notice, including some of Hoyoverse's own Voice Actors. Many are swiftly taking side with the movement.
