Just would like to add a note and emphasize that I UNDERSTAND THE WAYS IN WHICH I AM CULPABLE AND HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE PROBLEMS I TALK ABOUT IN THIS VIDEO! I acknowledge these things, and I am still working through how I want to proceed with covering topics in the future. I am also starting to understand more how the thumbnails I make contribute unnecessarily to issues, and will be adjusting accordingly. I am still learning a lot about content creation. I only started picking up momentum in February, and there are a lot of things that maybe seem obvious to others that don't feel as obvious to me. IN MY MIND, the thumbnail is sensational but the content within isn't so bad, so I felt that others understood my POV. HOWEVER, I'm recognizing more and more how the thumbnails do attract a particular audience regardless of what I actually say in the video. Does this probably sound obvious and stupid to not understand? Probably, but I was ignorant to the impact of this in a lot of ways. I'll work on it. I want to have a positive impact on the community, and if tweaking thumbnails could help do that, that's an EASY fix. But yeah. I'm not asking for sympathy or pity, just talking about my thoughts and acknowledging where I want to change. Thanks to those that understand that.

One thing i would like to point out is that, half of the discourse on these games is pushed by the CC's themselves. They are like, "why is there so much drama" while refusing to look the titles of their own videos. Im not saying that its you, or that you do it more than others, just making a point i think has some merit.

Like seriously, CCs add fuel to the fire all the time to farm views only to then do a complete 180 and act all virtuous once the farming is done all while waiting for the next drama to appear so they can do it over and over and over again it's absolutely hilarious. At least we now start to understand why such blatant tribalism exist. Because directly or indirectly, CCs encourage it.

CCs being shocked about the state of the community wondering why the drama is abysmal, forgetting how they are the cause or main distributors of said drama is insane to me.

Content creators farming drama: "this is the genshin killer, wuwa worse than genshin, zzz better than wuwa, zzz not as good as genshin" Also content creators when the community is toxic: surprised Pikachu face.

When almost every thumbnail or title are provocative and attacking one game or another, what CCs are expecting to attract and what they expect to see on their comment section ? Especialy when its close to a community already known as toxic. The gacha community was always like that, less openly public before genshin but still. Everyone knew what was going to happen with Wuwa and ZZZ release. And i can already tell you what will happens when NTE comes out. People will attack the game especialy focusing to point out the studio and TOF release, there will be optimization problem for 25+% of the players even if its not true, people will comment about "design", "easy combat", "coomer game", "stiff animation", "futur powercreep" etc.. Until they find a specific point that can't be argued and they will repeat it over and over again, even if the game end up being the best gacha ever. And CCs will milk the hell out of this confrontation again. In fact, every game have theyr trigger sentence. You want to tease a ZZZ fan : "Tvs, easy game, lolis" You want to tease a Wuwa fan : "Optimization, EN Va, translation (tbh its just trigger ex genshin players, PGR players make fun of it for years anyway)" You want to tease a Genshin fan : "3, mint" For HSR i'm not so sure because i don't look too much about it but probably anything related to meta and "powercreep" And who pushed this button every possible time ? CCs

I mean, part of the reason we're in this situation is because content creators fan the flames, especially when it comes down to Hoyo games. Look at all the coverage by content creators before ZZZ came out and during its release. Negative people are always the loudest, and that only gets amplified when content creators hype them up.

you do have far more involvement on this than you may be willing to accept, i have never heard of you until your videos started popping up everywhere just because i happen to look at wuwa on youtube. your stuff was either, laughing at genshin, reacting to wuwa content and hyping it up and incentivizing the tribalism. it isn't a matter of just the thumbnails.

A good cc is one that doesn’t stir drama and actually provides value to the players gaming experience.

I don't think you get "defense" without "attack", and so when the attack is so high, you're gonna get people feeling like they have to up their defense. And when the attack's statements are so wild and stupid, the defense's statements also get wild and stupid to contend with them. It's so crazy to see.

I do love how people can solve all their problems by liking multiple games but just choose not to, like I’m juggling both ZZZ and WuWa and both games are super fun 💀

In chasing the KZfaq algorithm, content creators make increasingly dramatized thumbnails, titles, and videos: "NUCULEAR DRAMA" this, "I CAN'T BELIEVE X DID/SAID" that. Now, the videos inside and under these titles may be more nuanced or balanced, but you're going to draw in people with that. Not just yourself, honestly every CC that I follow that covers Hoyo / Kuro titles does the same thing, because to most creators, this is a specific business decision to get as many viewers and ad revenue as possible. If your focus on your channel is that, it's a great strategy, but if your goal is community-building... well, you've seen the results. It's targeting a specific demographic (the kinds of people who complain about there being too much drama in a community but click on every drama video without realizing that that's why KZfaq is showing them all the drama videos.) And, well, it's working, or as I end up saying in my own job to customers, "Functioning as designed."

Ill be honest outside of the cc's SAYING that there's conflict in the gacha community i almost never see any, the only real one currently was the natlan stuff, outside of that most people arent complaining that much, the CCs just amplify something that isnt really there outside their circle. Also the likes the dislike ratio on alot of videos arent even that bad its like 8-10% dislikes at best which is barely anything

I love how CC's have a come to jesus moment regarding a problem in a community that they have had a heavy hand in fanning only after they have felt the negative repercussions. It's great that you acknowledge it in your video, but in the grand scheme it doesn't mean a damn thing unless you actually act on it, and even still it won't revert the damage already done. As long as you're doing this job, people will forever be your Judge, Jury, and executioners so I hope the community continue to hold you to it. I don't hate you, but " I didn't know " Is never acceptable, and often times (Not with you probably) It's not " I didn't know " but " I didn't care to know OR just didn't care ". I say this to everyone including my family and it's always applicable.

i used to spend time everyday looking at 10-12 cc's newest posts for years. I recently noticed I stopped at around same time the atsu/brax crap started. Almost all CC's , even the ones who PRIDED themselves on not getting into drama, started running nothing but drama posts. I like Hex, but had she never made a single post about her drama I never wouldve even known she had drama. So you all keep bringing drama to our attention. Happy to see her edited comment that she sees how she has been part of the problem. Just make content you enjoy, dont worry about other cc's. We started wastching you for YOU not the drama.

People, including content creators, just don't like to hear that the game they liked is publicly disliked etc. CCs also have to realize that they cant farm content and drama and not expect to attract certain audiences. This is an important aspect CCs often forget. Added to that, Imagine going to a bar and being surprised to see alcoholics and drunk people. Gacha is the same. These games and games of chance in general are created to prey on specific types of people. Usually weak minded people who lack self control. Not to mention gacha games have a lot of FOMO, so the psychological impact is interesting to say the least. So Imagine forming a community with all these people. What we are noticing right now, is multiple large gacha communities, when before Hoyo was the only large one. keep in mind however, that these people only make up a very small number of the player base. At the end of the day, play what makes you happy, the opinions of others does not matter at all. EDIT: I feel the same with HSR right now as well. Also id like to see your reaction to Neverness to Everness, new game by Hotta.

"This changes everything!", "This is the best thing ever!", "This game is shit!", "They totally dropped the ball on this, There is no recovery!", "Anyone that likes this is a child!", "This is Mickey Mouse bullshit!", the list goe son and on. content creators and people on social media are like sith, they only talk in absolutes. It sells better, it clicks better, but doing things that way also forms the audiences, makes them adopt such absolutistic stances and act on them between each other. And once audiences and communities reach er certain size it multiplies itself. The Gacha space mad eitself this way, through multiple avenues. And it's not the frist space that did this. Back in the days it was WoW vs any other MMO, it is XBox vs. Playstation, it is PC Master Race vs. Console Kids, it's everything. The current internet population has lost he ability to look at nuances and to act and speak without condemning something or praising something into high heavens To recover from that not only requires content creators to move out of the habit to sensationalize everything, to not focus on the clickability of drama, it also requires the audiences to want to change, to not be a Sith anymore.

*“The community”* I dread those words every time I hear them This is why I keep to myself

Honestly, a few of you guys give the tribalism a microphone. You make videos trying to attack one group or another. I don’t play hoyo games, but let’s not pretend that for the first month of wuwa, you weren’t shitting all over hoyo most streams. That one stream between you and teccy is what created all of this primarily. Every single video or stream for the past 3 weeks has been discussing this, it’s time to give it a rest.

The ccs created the community and makes the community look wierder. I was in a ww discord and everyone was normal someone played zzz in the vc and everyone was hyped when he was pulling. It's only the ccs that make the community look wierd they create unescesnary drama that makes the other communitys fight.

Its simple if you are tribal just to earn/profit from it is toxic. If someone genuinely only likes geshin and thinks the rest is trash, that's his human right, so it's not a problem at all, just reality Can't force some innocent genshin lover not to express his opinion because of bad apples. (Insert for genshin wuwa etc doesn't matter)

I remember some crazy drama that happened a couple years back and it was just dragging me down. One day I decided to take a break and HOLY!! Taking a break on the internet was just so peaceful and relaxing, it made a huge difference that now I barely interact with communities and just do my own thing for the fun of it.

Content creators shocked that the toxicity has gotten bad when they farmed that drama like a dead horse that had already been beaten twice. Epitome of r/leopardsatemyface material. Genuine question to HexJuice: Am I suppose to feel bad or sympathy for you? I'm not claiming that you are a bad person, or evil, or that you were one of the main instigators of this whole toxicity, but you partook your fair share in it.

The reality is these content creators are engaging with the negativity way more then the positivity, and now they're acting like they had nothing to do with the rise in hate they've orchestrated for a clear profiting agenda.

U are not a gacha gamer u are a drama channel , in my eyes anyways.

You gotta have thick skin to be a content creator. This is the internet where you can post a video of you fixing your pipe and the self proclaimed pro plumpers with 70 years experience will gang up on you and call you a disgusting waste of air. We can't change that so just adapt.

why was this on my fyp

the real HSR release experience. this exact thing happen when HSR release. so many people want it to fail, just because. fun time.

I feel like, with how much drama and clickbait the Gatcha community has had this past few months everyone is either bunkered down into a single game and became toxic or they're just fed up and lashing out at all the CC

I finally pulled Ellen in ZZZ and she makes it an absolute blast to play. It took me quite a bit to really get into the game but as ive gotten further something finally clicked and the game is actually pretty damn enjoyable. And actually learning combos and rotations makes it much more satisfying than just button mashing your way thorugh.

1.2 of Wuthering waves is going to spawn another "Genshin could never", "ZZZ could never" horde with the free limited 5*

It comes from people not realising you can enjoy more than one thing. It does mainly seem to be from a certain community in KZfaq comments though. On other platforms I’ve seen a lot of love for zzz compared to its release.

Gacha communities are not exclusively Hoyo and Kuro game only so your experiences are only for gacha communities of gacha game you played or follows.

to this day ... idk why the fck theres a comparison between wuwa and ZZZ, they are 2 different games with 2 different budget. The real comparision that NO A SINGLE CC has done its between ZZZ, aether gazer, PGR, HI3 and hell maybe even snowbreak. Those are the games that fight the playerbase that cant play wuwa on phones and pc. The fact ZZZ has a gacha system like a high budget openworld gacha standard atm, its the main reason to ZZZ have all the hate it has, i dont come with the excuse "OH ITS A GACHA GAME" i am tired of that shit

A very down to earth video rare to see these days.

Huh, weird, most of the mildly positive comments I see have pretty tame replies. It's usually those with sort of controversial takes that have chaotic comment sections.

There are CC's getting flak for silly reasons, and then there's Iyo.

It’s crazy because wuwa and zzz have very similar combat honestly.

It’s crazy to me the amount of hate a lot of wuwa players direct towards ZZZ. It feels like they were just fishing for a opportunity to shit on a hoyo game and since they know neither PGR or Wuwa can compete with Genshit/HSR they picked on the “new kid”.

People gotta understand that not all games are for everyone and every game has their own target audience , a game for everyone is a game for no one. Though I think part of this drama was somewhat amplified considering how their advertisement for ZZZ was that it was combat focused with lotst of freebies right away to get but not really being the case and being a game less combat focused than the others in same genre, cause it ended up attracting alot of people that had different expectations ,if it was advertised as a casual combat game it might have been less chaotic, but still none of this behavior is justified.

I like both games, but the gacha model is going to make me quit eventually. It's the most psychologically exploitative business model aside from actual scams and that by itself takes so much fun out of it for me, because I know the suits are sitting in the back laughing arrogantly at every single person who throw hundreds or thousands of dollars at a mechanic that should not be tied to any monetization.

Cc's these days just yap alot ..just play a game or dont !

Idk how it was before, but aside from some deranged people everything kinda went downhill after Genshin came out, a lot of kids and honestly just quite literally unstable people from twitter, started playing gachas and "having a voice" in this community

Youve overtime become one of the few creators who i enjoy watching tbh. That being said you are correct in that people take gacha too seriously which is why its important to branch out and have different genres scratch that itch ya may have. Me personally when i feel burned out from gacha a good ol FPS game can help rejivinate me lol

As a wise man once said: "It's just a game, why do you have to be mad?"

Gotta do what's best for you, but trust, the community is really not as bad as it seems in your circle of creators. Nuclear drama leads to nuclear waste, but outside of the blast area it's been a really good experience. I've subbed to many ccs and discords that are just focusing on advanced gameplay guides, showcases, and even lore content and everyone is pretty chill and usually playing both WuWa and ZZZ to all of the big 4. I get drama is good for business, so it might be difficult or unfeasible to make the switch, but just know there are places to go and it's really not the whole community. Not even close. GL either way.

I honestly love the way Hex just speaks her mind in a mature, respectful and logical way. A big part of the internet revolves around making conflict where there is none and picking sides for no reason, so it's always nice to see Hex act like a normal and civilised person who can still make great and entertaining content without needing to shit on anything or without needing to start unneccesary drama :)

HexJuice: I dont support these companies, they only care about your money. Also HexJuice: Spends money in their games, to give the company money. Seems about right.

this is the consequence of genshin being the way it is for four years and making people go mad when finally wuwa from different developer comes out just got a new gacha competitor which is zenless. so people from both side really try so hard to find the flaws of the opposite. its either keep the good work hoyoverse or fuck you i hate you hoyoverse type shit. me on my personal side like zenless zone zero and wuthering waves both, but i cant stand any glazing bullshit about both games for example saying that in wuwa we dont have many flairs in the combat while in zenless its like endless of possibility. i also have complaints for both games, i also encounter the stupid bugs in wuwa, i also have the performance issue in zenless early on, both are flawed, but saying things that doesnt actually happened/applied/occured in either of those games, or any games in general, is dumb.

I don't get it. I don't like ZZZ, so I don't watch ZZZ videos. Why can't people do the same

This is why you don't mix Personal matters with content creation lol it'll turn to Drama content creators THE GAMEplay is thrown-out

Veteran Gacha Player here, started on Azur Lane back at least a few years ago and moved to GFL. Nowadays, it's been Fire Emblem Heroes, ZZZ and Wuthering Waves. The thing is that I think the best way to consume these types of games is to just play whatever the hell you want. You can't really force yourself into push into the game that you don't really enjoy. Two, you can critique a game as much as you'd like, even if you like it, but don't let anyone else drag what you want and enjoy in the mud. Do what you want to do and play what you want to play, especially if the game's single player. Always play your favorites in these types of games, and don't really let anyone even CC's dictate what experience you want to have. Just have fun!

honestly i'm more scared if wuthering wave stop investing their time on making new 4 star characters, and we can only do the end game content with limited 5 star characters, even though the current 4 stars are doing fine so far

It's not about the games anymore. Gacha games became drama farms for CCs.

Sometimes people just don't understand that videogame is just a videogame and nothing more.

The tribalism in gacha is wild and extremely bad since the rest of the gaming community is against gacha too and instead of banding together.......they attack each other and just reinforce the mindset of gacha games being bad. It also just makes you want to not participate in community conversations which then leaves the communities only filled with these tribes and it just becomes a cycle. And the end result will be the games not improving as much as they could if people could voice valid/constructive criticism without being abused.

It's the gacha community. It's normal for CCs to make clickbait or sensationalized videos in all genres, but the community in gacha is what is different.

It's unreal how true this is. I say anything positive about Zzz. Im a hoyo shill. I enjoy wuthering waves and point out its positives. Im a kuro shill. I point out known issues with genshin (a game i loved) Im just a genshin hater and should just not play it. As a person who likes all these games, the online community has proven its the worst part of the gacha experience. The collective maturity and understanding level of the this community is extremely low. 😂

keep in mind that the people who usually understand your more nuanced "takes" usually don't interact as much, just listen and like your videos. We understand you and hope you know we are there too! Sad to hear y'all content creators get ripped apart (and the community ripping itself apart) lately but I hope you stray true to your values and beliefs regardless :)

Am I the weird one for just watching the content/creator I like for the background noise while getting stuff done, then finally noticing the "current" events/drama 3 weeks to a month afterwards?

Just out of curiosity. Are the community really toxic. And being toxic to you? Or are they just voicing their opinion on their game. I think if their toxic to you because you play certain game that’s bad. But if they’re just voicing negativity on games base on their opinion I don’t think is directly targeting you.

I've had this problem since a good while before WuWa even launched. As someone that actually likes Genshin quite bit, I've had to deal with rabid HSR fans trying to get me to drop the game for HSR (despite me playing both at the time) even though HSR was basically a completely different game outside of have a similar banner structure. And it's extra stupid because Hoyo doesn't lose anything if I drop Genshin for HSR or vice versa. At the end of the day, I'm still playing a hoyo game so it's a win-win.

imo most of the wuwa players shit talking on zzz happened due to how zzz hyped themselves as a combat game.. and then lotta hoyo fans started shit talking on wuwa channels like "wuwa is scared of zzz.. they adjusting their schedule cuz of zzz" and "zzz will kill wuwa" without even playing both games.. hell zzz wasn't even out that time.. or "wuwa is copy of genshin".. all this shit piled up.. and when zzz actually gone live.. some wuwa players who were fed up with this constant trash talk using zzz or genshin as an example got chance to retaliate.. and yeah first 7-8 hrs of zzz was a horrible experience.. no doubt in that..and some even called out as wuwa shills who just said "zzz was boring" based on their 7-8 hrs experience.. it turned out to be a real mess

The moment I liked the tvs, I realized that I had to just be in my personal box. I understand the pros and cons and I like it enough that I think it outweighs the cons. Aka, I'm just gonna watch content creators that cover it and ignore the community.

As a long time gacha players, nothing really changed. It just got mainsteam. It was always toxic af.

I really appreciate your content, as well as the perspective that you offer. It's definitely understandable to say that this is an interesting time. People have different perspectives, different likes. You offering yours is appreciated. Thank you Hex!

Homegirl described the internet. LMAO

It's kind of wild coming into this community as someone whose literally only played like two gachas, one being genshin for the first two days it came out and ZZZ for the last few days. Haven't kept up with any gachas or hoyo games prior to trying ZZZ out. It's like entering a department store where most of the departments are burning trashfires while ZZZ's has people trying to pour gasoline on it while others are mopping them up and shooing those people away. Crazy 😂

Just saying after watching this video and i havent seen alot of your content yet(discovered you while looking up wuwa vids), gotta say i have a lot of respect for you. Especially how humble you are and the integrity you show by standing on your principles. Not many cc will turn down a sponsership by a big corp out of principle alone(cus they care more about $$$) Definitely had to subscribe :).

Everybody playing ZZZ seems pretty positive and enjoying the videogame, can Wuwa player's say the same ?

This is the price to pay for making everything into drama, this is Tectone’s legacy, y’all made this community the way it is today. It was not like this when we had more people to filter you guy’s toxicity, the scales have turned, we now have more drama baiting channels then neutral/positive channels, you reap what you sow.

Post-Genshin is the worst generation of gacha players. ZZZ was a bit misleading in its marketing but its fun overall. Games shouldnt be compared to each other, play what you like. It's going to be an endless competition "dont say your billion dollar company is better than mine!"

If anybody say your done with hoyo and you still comment on their videos, Watch videos, hating on them, you are indeed the problem.

As someone that doesn't want to be part of any gacha community, I can enjoy these games ways better that majority of people I feel like. I guess it's harder as a content creator because the atmosphere is amplified since you're at the front of it. But I will say, you guys, the creators that amplifies that community's voice, does attract these people. It's honestly funny seeing this is mainly a problem for the western audience, cause for the most part, the rest of the world doesn't give a fuck what others think lol

As a lot of people here said it’s all the CCs, drama farming, misleading clickbait, giving reviews on games that rival ign when we all can see how much that CC actually played said game, not knowing when to just not speak on something, and blaming viewers. What do anyone expect? I’ve ran plenty of communities because of my job and I seen some thrive and some collapse, and the ones that collapse is usually because the one/few with the reach, doesn’t respect the fact that whatever they say and do hold power over the rest of the community. It sucks but it’s part of responsibility of a CC. You can ignore it and leave a trail of fire but don’t pretend like you don’t know why it’s like that or act surprised.

This makes me miss the toxicity in League of Legends

I love you, I'm happy to see that you were able to understand that you are also part of this problem and are willing to improve

8:24 Summoning the dragon god, Jue to do one of the most powerful attacks in the game... Against a rock. We love you Hex! lol

The date of this upload quite ironic, i just had about had a straight up breakdown after the heated infighting just would not stop for the last few weeks. Speaking from.. honestly i'd call myself a Kurogames veteran at this point, but in any case... the "c0cksucking" or the "hate-b0ner" as has been thrown around regularly isn't just a one sided thing. Different CCs and even other Veterans are throwing gasoline to the fire against their other communities or even just their own via doomposting. And i'm here to really say.. after WW started to blow up a bit, the influx of people joining in kind of muddled the communities to the point that nobody really knows what to say without the rest of the residents labeling them a sellout, badmouthing the devs for honest-to-god bad decisions became a sacrilegious thing, talking about user experience became filtered and constant unending comparisons to other gachas that arent even in the same genre kept popping up, only fueled by CC uploads doing the same. It was already on the down slope.. and then ZZZ launched and the same thing happened to them but a bigger gasket was blown. Now you can't go around in a public or even just somewhat barely a public community space without some sort of inflammatory discussion, constant badmouthing, people not taking basic polite manners or grammar into consideration when voicing their irritations and all in all just a shitfest to be around. I had to mute around 7 whole servers last week because i was so tired of this absolute menace the gacha community space had become... I could not really care about the comparisons between kuro or hoyo, i have had my share of history with both developers for several years at this point, and i would rather just keep them as separate entities. But turns out, you cannot have a median stance between the two, you *have* to pick a side and you *have* stick by them , it seems. We truly are living in peak society right now.

Bec its boring the less I hear about ZZZ the less I will want to take a nap

You do you girl dont let anyone bring you down, never give up and have fun with you doing and calm down on drama side that all

Genuine question. Is it turmoil in gacha games or is it turmoil in high fidelity 3d gacha games? So like are games like blue archive, FGO, azur lane, frontline, granblue, etc are those experiencing the same thing or is it games like HSR, GI, ZZZ, Wuwa, TOF, Project Mugen, 7Deadly Sins, Azur Promilia, etc?

Imo just play what you like, it doesnt matter what others are saying abou the game as long as your havin fun thats all that matters tbh

So people who play games on a low difficulty are called brain dead??? I’m sorry this conflict will never end if words like this are still around

Haters: SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS TECTONE MADE YOU QUIT GACHA?!

One of the biggest problems for the gacha community is content creators. The cc that claims they "leave" genshin and then continue to make videos complaining about hoyo games, In the many worthless trash clowns in comments shitng on hoyo fans. I see many withering waves fanboys in the comments section is that people just doing bill guys aren't characters shitting on hoyo games, And the bunch of withering ways fan boys.That talk about their community is mature. No, it's not.

Mature and grown ups just don't care about what a mid schoolers or whatever a random person from the internet says about a gachagame, if you make videos or talk about it you give them what they want, or making this kind of video/talk about this on stream is profitable (i dont really know)

The gacha drama should've already ended after one month of wuwa release. Well let's just say when zzz was announced zzz community started to attack not just wuwa but also genshin and HSR saying the narrative that it is the game of the entire fking universe and how will it blow wuwa combat out of the water. But when the other community attacked back and noway to defend their own narrative they proceed to victim blaming. Well let's just say they can't handle people's opinion on their game and proceeds to be toxic resulting for other community to be toxic as well. That and the idiot IYO that started that war on twitter then also proceeds to victim blaming in youtube 💀

This isnt just a "gacha" trend that generates toxic environments among the gacha communities but its the entertainment cycle in general. This same issue also exists in pro wrestling communities, Pro sports, Music preference, Movies/Cinema, Comic book debates heck dare i even say politics. Social media was doomed for us the day it was born. Ive dealt with this issue since the ealry 2000's.

I’m over the pettiness of gacha players is super old I just want to go back to the PlayStation vs Xbox days and the chill discourse in gamefaqs I’m sorry that hex has been sucked into drama when she was just being herself and had her own morals and values , being criticized for such is dehumanizing love her content, I’m glad to see her channel from and hope it will continue to explode for her genuine content

People fr be going on about Genshin Impact, HSR, WuWa... which one is the best? None! We all know it! We just don't include the actual GOAT... Cookie run kingdom!

I generally assume that one of the most vocal age groups on the internet (especially when it comes to games and gaming) is around 13 - 23, a time when we tend to react to things in a binary manner: everything is "yes" or "no", "us" or "them", and there's no room for nuance. As we get older, we (hopefully) begin to appreciate nuance and value variety - but we also have much less time and energy to respond to every item that tries to demand our attention. Rest assured there are a lot of older people watching your content, and they are quite happy whether you're playing WW or ZZZ or Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

it is sad bc i enjoy wuwa as a game but the community is so toxic.. i can't watch a video of wuwa without the comments being full of hate for genshin or zzz, both games i enjoy too. i really do not understand this mindset of having to choose a game, praising the game into heavens and hating on every other gacha game that exists.

What would you aspect it gacha community😂

I think it's possible that some of the community are kids bc how can fully grown adults not understand the concept of liking multiple games and rotating

Yeah, Nuanced takes alot of the time tend to do worse in terms of like/dislikes as if you dont definitively take a side then boths sides send in the dislikes sadly.

Literally the "Who killed Hannibal" meme

Thanks for the video! I figure I’ll ante up my perspective as well, and I love the new format. After hearing about folks’ experiences (read: traumas) as content creators and being in the space itself as an audience member, I’ve started to realize that this place is anything but a ‘just a game’ space. My bet is probably there’s a lot of lonely folks (probably from the pandemic) and folks who are terminally online, so that all contributes. Not to mention the price-point for some characters starts in the $100s, and gets into the $1000s. Add in that a game that only exists to the extent the fans support it (live service - with the ever present fear of declining quality or EoS) and you got one hell of a powder keg of human emotions.
