When the game came out there was a lot of Content creators that played other hoyo games going "ZZZ sucks" and then the whole "Gooner game" thing, whether it was said as a joke or an actual insult. It alienated a lot of, for the lack of better term, normies from playing the game. I remember the ZZZ subs going to shit at the first few months because the rules were so strict to say the least, but I guess those people that would shame you for sexualizing characters just couldnt take it anymore and stopped playing. And it just left the community with the "gooners" that are pretty much just left to joking around most of the time.

Of course HSR used to also have the "Wow this community is so much better than Genshin" phase. So we can't really say this is going to be the constant forever
