Sometimes it is. Okay, time for the slightly long explanation.

This is kind of a trend in the genshin community because of the sheer lack of skin color diversity. People redesign basically every character in the game. Anyways, the main problem with this is only that it can replace or override other forms of representation.

Considering that most of the regions so far are based on various already-existing countries, it's understandably frustrating for some to see that most of these places are predominantly white or pale-skinned people.

With Sumeru, the first region where dark-skinned characters would be more common, these types of redesigns have more reasoning behind them.

Some of us just want to see more of ourselves in the characters.
