🧵🪡 thread on Penacony’s historical “accuracy” and commentary on hypocrisy in the face of fake-activism and selfishness.

no matter how hard you can try to explain nobody understands how hurtful it is for a FANTASY game to make sure you and “people like you” feel meaningless. Like a world of gods, ghosts and geniuses and not a single one like me. A planet from black music and NO key player is black.

Can we NOT turn the whip into a “media literacy” issue or a bible reference.
Slave masters literally used the bible to justify their own actions. would it kill some of you to be serious that is a FUCKING whip.

great. A character with a whip. From an organization that enslaved a planet. We got whipper representation before black people in the jazz age. Im sure nobody’ll care in the face of the hot woman’s full thighs showing in her animation. I’m tired of all this.

First and foremost, his home is named “Aeragan-Epharshel” and as I suspected that is a localization of its CN characters which ACTUALLY translate to Algonquin and Apache.

Honkai: Star Rail, while being a pretty and unique RPG, is undeniably against the proper representation of Black people in global media. This is NOT something to be supported, and the billions of dollars they make do not go anywhere besides their company. #HonkaiStarRacists
![ATTENTION HONKAI STAR RAIL PLAYERS‼️
STOP SPENDING [your money] on Honkai.
It has become clear that despite seeking a “global” outreach, Honkai’s development team intends to erase the stories of People of Color. Black People were the curators of Jazz and have failed to [show up as main characters] in Penacony. There’s no existing laws or rules that forbid Hoyoverse or Cognosphere from having black characters in their games.

The desert gets cold at night, so come sit by the campfire. Don't worry about me, I'm used to it.
Fancy trying out some of Aaru Village's specialties for dinner later?
Aside from the Aaru Mixed Rice I made, the villagers have all prepared their own delicious dishes too.

without spoiling, I'll say that this entire quest only demonstrated ONE thing. this company will see real history between oppressors and the oppressed, and choose to romanticize and add what they think is nuance to the oppressors' side. this will continue.
aside from the normal reminders i post, in light of getting more story content, we’re PROBABLY gonna get more whitewashing fantasies and subliminal defenses of slavery…
remember who the REAL fools are here.

i agree. And before anybody even STARTS, y’all use “media literacy” as a fucking annoying buzzword.
None of you fucks have true media literacy, otherwise you’d seek to understand those of us with awareness that find discomfort in a person not opposed to slavery—

side note! I’m really mad that there’s no black presence and that people usually refuse to confront it.
penacony(the planet. Specifically the planet. ignoring the main plot for a second. ) is a black story. Jazz is BLACK music. Without black ppl, there would be no Jazz Age.
As a lot of us have previously discerned and REPEATEDLY communicate to other players, HYV willfully steals cultural narratives and stories of Black, Indigenous, and people of color and twists them for shits and giggles. True representation lets people feel proud of their origins

…..I’d rather not explain this.😬
the ore from his home was excavated, armed people disrespected the beliefs of natives, kicked them out of THEIR land, and used their greater military might to defeat any “primitive” attempts of rebellion.
yes. This is flat-out colonization.
ALT Giant excavators appeared on the horizon of the plains, completely disregarding protests from the locals. Then, black ore began to stream forth from the earth below. The heavily armed guards blasphemed against the local's beliefs, cast them out of their homes, and insulted their honor with meager compensation. As always, he and his partners turned to guerrilla warfare to fight off the advance of the people in black. However, in the face of absolute military might, the cowboys' schemes, marksmanship, and swift mounts all seemed so primitive and laughable. As the members of his family died one after another, he realized that unless he found the person who started all of this, he would never be able to bring things to an end.

- Boothill does not celebrate the existence of his tribe, he's a literal shell of a victim of colonization. He has no symbols, nor outfit references to real life Native Americans.

Following that, his home was carpet bombed and his race subject to essentially ethnic cleansing.
Those that remained of his people were forced onto reservations, and historical records were rewritten to say his people succumbed to an unknown disaster.
ALT A terrifying thought rushed into his mind. He frantically ran out. Around him, the employees were still joking and laughing. He held his breath and stifled his rage and tears... His family still needed him. He could not just stop here. Cannon fire rained down from the heavens. By the time he stumbled back to the farm that had now been reduced to ashes, the elderly Graey and Nick, as well as all the friends he'd grown up with, had already lost their lives to the sea of flames. He held on to a faint glimmer of hope that he would be able to find that tiny figure... She had only learned to walk a while ago and would gently slap at the little wooden guitar he had made for her and giggle. But no. There was nothing. The land was scorched black... he didn't even have time to erect a gravestone for the ones he'd lost.
ALT "The Interastral Peace Corporation... The Marketing Development Department..." This sight and these names rang through his mind like a nightmare that went on to be etched into his core. Even if he were to die and be born again, he would never forget this. According to the planetary records of Aeragan- Epharshel, the locals who roamed and farmed the land for generations were wiped out by an unknown disaster. The survivors, mostly frail elderly and youth, now only shelter in smaller and smaller reservations. To this day, that black ore is still used in massive quantities as a rare metal to create devastating weaponry, and is shipped out to more and more planets on fleets of IPC transport ships.

The guy at the top of the colonizing corporation says his homeland is strategically beneficial, and that the indigenous cowboys rebelling are “savage, and uncivilized cowboys”. He ends his message stating they can civilize this native land with military force.
ALT He saw the figure of a man who seemed to be saying something to his subordinates. "Aeragan-Epharshel contains crucial strategic resources. He who claims it first will take great advantage in departmental competition. As these savage and uncivilized cowboys are unwilling to cooperate with the Marketing Development Department, we have no choice but to assume administration of this world on their behalf. We are running out of time. You are permitted to use military force and bring civilization to this world."

On a more serious note sometimes I wonder if this game is truly just made for incels. Arlan has no imagery relating to breaking free, chains, or slavery, yet has skills with these names. He also sucks. Lets not act like HYV doesnt predict audience reactions-

Boothill's nothing more than a white puppet acting out a distorted history of a Native American to those freaks at the top of the company, please do not praise them for good writing if all they can write about is white people, white people, and oppression.

remember guys 📉💸
dont spend your money on these idiots. Or your energy promoting them. Pick up another game like one that isnt made by people hellbent on perpetuating stereotypes.

insults. He never shows up in promotional art, events, plotlines.. etc.
he’s a token character that doubles as a target. They would never “protect” arlan or “praise” arlan as useful. He is made specifically to suck and to be a punchline.

there are characters that give me a headache upon thinking about what went into their creation, and yes, the sexualized slave master is indeed one of them. I’ve already had to talk down enough people from acting like slavery is something that can be debated like 😐 if u want the

why not consider the true origins of Penacony while you're at it?
If you are tired of shopping and strolling in Penacony, why not venture into the renowned Clock Studios Theme Park and immerse yourself in the captivating world of the film industry?
Another remarkable destination is the Dewlight Pavilion, an exclusive venue reserved for significant Family affairs. While access may be restricted for the general public, if you ever have the opportunity to enter, the grand architectural style of the manor is truly a sight to behold.

Now as much as this stressed me out to conclude, Boothill as a character is negative representation. here's why:

to start, as we’ve seen previously, the name #Penacony comes from the words Penal(prison,punishment) and colony(new establishment for individuals to live). So the planet’s name is “Prison Colony”.

explained by honkai writer, Shaoji.
Returning to this video, Honkai Writer ‘Shaoji’ explains Penacony is just a mashup of “penal”(punishment) and “colony”, while also explaining that the origins of this planet known for dreamlike joy came from the endless toils of prisoners. The real life inspiration suspiciously

but seriously FUCKING HELL SOME PEOPLE GO INTO GAMES JUST TRYING TO ENJOY THEM AND YOU PEOPLE SAY WE CANT EVEN BE IN FICTIONAL WORLDS WITH DRAGONS LIKE
It's so funny how peoples suspension of disbelief seems to always stop at black people. Not dragons, not aliens, not magic, nope. Just black people.

And somehow this has led into the fact that the dreamjolt event has a disobedient monkey getting whipped standing up for their friends. nitter.app/honkaistarrail/status/…
this is only going to get worse because as previously stated NO content creators have ever raised this issue.

Slavery is relevant here because it was African-Americans who had dealt with the lasting trauma of fighting for release from slavery who went on to bring Jazz, Pop,hip-hop, and various other forms of music to the world. These people faced adversity and opposition from every-

Robin’s posters/promotions are also literally all over the golden hour. She’s a glaring problem(jazz was brought on by black musicians, not only is she white she’s designed “angelic”) but at the same time doesn’t do anything explicitly troubling like sparkle and thus

Aventurine is also awful for several reasons. First off he’s a white guy with unique eyes which really shouldnt be taken as a standard character design for another race. his eyes are the only thing differing from other humans—

for people to say 'hey, something's up'. anyway on February 6, Penacony and version 2.0 released. This was with Sparkle, and Black Swan, two white presenting characters.

adding on as somebody who normally would be trying to keep up with lore i’ve noticed a pattern of running into the brown NPCs(that we literally only assume black on benefit of the doubt) that they’re usually depressed if they have dialogue, or servants that arent doing a good job
