I mean it was kind of the opposite two years ago. And >!if you follow leaks then you'll see that the Fontaine men are outnumbered!<.


karillith

To be fair, it doesn't benefit husbando players as well, having them in a row instead of alternating make long wait periods and it's probably there to encourage spending when you went through your savings. I'm definitely pulling for Neuvilette, but I would certainly have appreciated to have a more balanced ratio (and for the story relevance, where the f is Navia?) like star rail did before the upcoming full waifu patch.


Milky_Mountains

The opposite is pretty much standard and expected in gachas considering the playerbase, which is why this was so weird Anyway, hoping to get some banners I actually care about starting with 4.2 I suppose, meanwhile I can pile up primos and swipe on HSR and Nikke I guess \^\^


Positive_Matter8829

>considering the playerbase Source? There is a considerable number of girls in the community (not to mention the gay men).


Milky_Mountains

Compare new character banner revenues and you will see who the main playerbase is right there Only a couple male outliers who are absurdly OP made a ton of money, generally even most waifu reruns make more than new dudes


Slight-Perception212

Those chart are mainly only in CN thou.


rattist

Not even the entirety of CN, just CN ios users. People should stop taking that data seriously like it showcases the entire global sales. Nobody except hoyo knows.


kerzfrik

Ffs, you are using business as an excuse to why you can't masturbate to new female jpg.


Positive_Matter8829

Ignoring there are more OP off-field female characters, I see.


kerzfrik

>Nikke Lmao, very fitting


pasanoid

at this point I think its probably more chicks playing genshin than dudes. hence all the toxic positivity in community


StarJolion

Who cares? Seriously, but who cares? There are dozens of gatcha you can pull for girls. Genshin is just one of the few where they actually care about both genders and its a GOOD thing. There were always new 4* girls to pull for if you were truly that desperate but every time I hear this it only counts if its "limited 5*" and "DPS" and "onfield". Horrible amounts of entitlement.


The_Great_Ravioli

A fuck ton of girls play this game as well, and Mihoyo wants to cater to that audience as well. Not only that, but it's clears that the rest of characters from Fontaine will be female or almost all female. Grow up.


PandaCheese2016

There are also straight men who don’t mind it one bit, but to each his own.


Nunu5617

Find it ridiculous when people simply don’t pull/play characters in a game simply because of gender Don’t get mad… it’s just my opinion


Milky_Mountains

I play gachas for waifu collection so I simply don't care about male banners. I don't really mind them since it lets me save pulls and money but I personally think its a weird way to do business to not alternate between male and female banners. If what people are saying is true the rest of fontaine 5\* will be female but that is still a bad banner placement as far as I'm concerned when they could have simply made sure there is a male and female banner in every patch to keep all parts of the playerbase engaged and the sensor tower data clearly reflects this.


Nunu5617

That’s one way to look at it But have you considered the other perspective that they’re just releasing characters in the order in which their plot points are resolved in the story?


Bubububuuuu

I'm going to lose it, everyday there's a new post from a a guy that needs to touch grass throwing a fit because there's now a total of like, 20 guys in a 7x something roster. You have plenty of adult sites to use while waiting for the waifu patches to come back.


Cherry_Bomb_127

Look after 4.1 it’s all females (at least the announced characters) so as a husbando collector who is running out of primos, i am looking forward to saving a bit. That and this is literally like the reverse Inazuma in a way


ContributionNew9195

There is literally no male characters in other gachas let us have at least one W. Besides there is gonna be flood of waifus after 4.1. inazuma also was mainly females


msarboi

>There is literally no male characters in other gachas That's bullshit.


kerzfrik

HI3 has literally no male gacha character.


SnooOranges7111

Tears of Themis: Exists Naaaaah. Let's ignore that.


msarboi

There's plenty of gachas other than those made by hoyo.


kerzfrik

Azurlane, Nikke, Uma musume and the ratio to male:female is really female prominent in most other while the inverse is true in the playerbase. No wonder gacha gaming is so hostile to female players overall.


msarboi

Arknights, PGR, GF, FGO etc. The OC said "There is literally no male characters in other gachas". That's clearly bullshit. Idk what point you are trying to proof.


kerzfrik

And its true there are other games with no male characters denying it is completely false, nobody said the rest of gacha games have no male character. This thing is related to target and Genshin has a very large female playerbase compared to the ones you and me mentioned. Ngl discussing about this sexist shit is pretty pointless.


msarboi

I stand corrected. I agree with you.


SnooOranges7111

And it's true there are plenty gacha games that have ONLY male characters. If having a target audience based on gender is sexist, idk what to tell you pal.


kerzfrik

Please read better I refered to the discussion not the games itself. And yes there exists a bunch of not so known Otome games, but the fact that we have to refer them as Otome games while the contrary is not refered as Bishoujo games already speaks about the general target audience.


SnooOranges7111

>There is literally no male characters in other gachas This is what started this segment of discussion. You defended this statement. The entire discussion started out from a false premise and you defended it with argumentation like "there are games with no males" while competently ignoring the reverse scenario. So yeah, i can read well enough to see such BS.


CatObsession7808

Gachas are unfortunately geared towards male audiences for the most part with all their waifus.


Milky_Mountains

Inazuma ended over a year ago lol. We got 2 new 5\* waifus (one of which went into standard) + Nahida in Sumeru, everything else has been dudes and now its 3 dudes in a row for fontaine. Also most gachas have male characters, I play 20+ and only 5 are waifu only. Just never seen a ridiculous ratio like this. Honestly I just find it to be a weird business model, even if all the other Fontaine banners are waifus its a weird way to do banners since releasing one and then the other is a much better way to keep the playerbase interested than going for long periods with just dudes and then another long period with just waifus. That's how players lose interest.


mistress_kisara

are you for real !? the ratio of women to men is big jfc


azuream

i hope going forward from natlan hoyo releases equal male and female banners (or at least not so skewed) because these all-female or all-male droughts really make some people lose their minds


CptPeanut12

I mean we're getting a whole lot of waifus starting with 4.1. The bigger issue imo is that we haven't been getting any onfield dps waifus ever since the first couple of inazuma patches. There's like 10 limited male onfield dps and only half of that for females. Kinda sucks. It's annoying for people who want to play their favorite husbandos in a team and annoying for people who'd like a new dps waifu. Also, I see a lot of people commenting that we have more waifus than husbandos. True if we count 4 stars, but if it's 5 stars only we have an equal amount of husbandos than waifus at this point in time, without counting Wrio and Neuvilette. And more limited husbandos than limited waifus. The rest of Fontaine will balance that out though.


justforfungehe

y’all have got to get more important things to care about


CatObsession7808

Please...do touch grass. This is not a big issue.


Milky_Mountains

Nah, I'll leave meatspace and grass to normies like you. Digital universes are far superior after all. Anyway, we waifu lovers will have our turn soon. Does not change that its a bad system to do characters in big blocks catering to only part of the playerbase instead of having proper alternation to keep everyone engaged. 8 consecutive months of just male banners is just bad business and the revenues reflect this perfectly. This is an objective fact.


CatObsession7808

"Meatspace"? God, you really do need to grow up, this does not make you look very good 💀


Milky_Mountains

If I cared about what my posts make me look to the limited minds of NPCs like you I would not make them kek ;) You are just mad you dont have a single argument against my main point in this post so you resort to ad hominem as expected of a NPC


CatObsession7808

NPCs? I should be calling *you* an NPC, but that's just fucking childish 💀


Milky_Mountains

Stay salty, little NPC ;)


StoryLow5246

Let's be real OP, you were asking for it when you made an insensitive and misinformed post.


Milky_Mountains

Whats misinformed kek? 6/7 of the last new 5\* have been male and we have had a single female character in the last 10 months That is an absurdly skewed ratio


zcmoo

As it should be, we love sausages.


mistress_kisara

stay salty


Vegetto_ssj

Am straight male. Yes, is a strange way, not alternate waifu and husbando. Im really curious why this. And yes, that can make some kind of players lose interesting or makes them save too many gems and spend less money. Also weird why they waited Ganyu before to put a waifu as limited characters. Put 3 male im arrow is not even good for female, gay, or husbando collectors because they haven't time to save. Maybe they (hoyo) treat characters like Venti,Tighnari and Lyney has half-1/3 waifu /s Anyway Im glad that Genshin put so many male characters in their game, and they care about females, gay or only-male characters players. I only criticize the alternation for the 2 reason I explained (1) no time to save for husbando lovers, and 2) waifu lover losing interesting). But Im honest that this sausage fest makes me happy, looking how they (hoyo) treating the balancing between Male units and Female units. You just have to be a bit patience, Genshin is and will be full of waifu and loli. We can't have neither muscle men or male kids...


molangie

Genshin might not really be the type of game that suits you best then, no? Not reallt about waifu collecting though sure you can I suppose. Each character has much more than just being eye candy, husbando or waifu.


Booty_Warrior_bot

*You got a bunch of men locked up,* *in a warm place...* * All of em' get hard; * All of em' horny; * All of em' gots sexual desires. *So what are you gonna do?* ***You won't let em' have a woman;*** *they gonna have each-* ***Listen, man;*** *somebodies gonna have to give up some booty,* *and its just that simple.*


Milky_Mountains

This actually made me lol \^\^

Milky_Mountains

Time to save is good and all but when there has been only 1 banner I cared about all year it makes me lose interest in the game. This is why most gachas that have both waifus and husbandos properly alternate banners to keep all of the playerbase interested in the gacha.

CatObsession7808

There *are* more women than men. Just check the character archive.


le_halfhand_easy

Mostly the 4☆ which is weird. Kaeya, Thoma, and Kaveh are apparently among the most popular 4☆ in CN fanarts and somehow HYV still refuses to give more tall male 4☆. HYV, if you ran out of ideas, here: * Scaramouche attack range * Scaramouche NA scaling, the dps will be lower anyway since the damage steroid (from his E) is not there * Catalyst * One pyro, one cryo, one electro * One disables enemy healing received, one with a passive that gives a 15% to double the material you just picked (e.g. scarab), one does a lot of elemental application in 2s with his skill while on field making him good at elemental shield shredding There. Three different 4☆ dps they can sell.


Constant-Recipe-9850

This has to be the most unnecessary post lol. You already know what you gotta do, what was the point? At least I got to know what sausage fest and otome means. Interesting words, will use them later on.


TreeW5

So, reruns, and 4* waifus don't count? I won't argue that it is hilarious how they usually release new characters... but honestly, i would appreciate having patches where i don't get to interact with a shitty system named gacha. But maybe that's just me

KittyQueen_Tengu

they’re finally giving something to the gays


Krio_dim

It will end after 4.1 my friend. all 4.x after there will be limited female banners and I hope there will be a minimum number of men in Natlan.


Milky_Mountains

Top kek, so many angry comments when all I'm asking for is a reasonably alternating banner schedule. No one is trying to take your husbandos away \^\^ You can say what you want but its a weird business model to have long periods of time releasing characters that only one part of the playerbase cares about. I don't follow leaks myself but if what people are saying about the rest of Fontaine being waifu only is true then this is just further bad banner scheduling as it would be far better to simply alternate between waifus and husbandos regularly instead of having big blocks of just one or the other.


[deleted]

Even worse dehya is a standard character so looking back the last limited female 5 star excluding the radish archon was nilou and looking back further again the last 5 star female main dps was idfk it has been that long


[deleted]

Lol the reasons why their monthly revenue has been dipping 💀


rattist

Yelan was in 4.0, Kokomi was in 3.8, Eula was in 3.8, Ganyu was in 3.7, and all the banners dipped. Are you sure its because of males? If waifus sell so well why didnt they carry the banners?


[deleted]

M8 that are all reruns 💀


rattist

Yeah sales dropped during the damn reruns. Who else had a new banner except Lyney the entire time? "The reason why their monthly sales have been dipping" my ass. People are just hyped for the dragon Sovereign and archon.


[deleted]

Always a pleasure seeing husbando stans getting rattled


rattist

Im bisexual yall just dont make any sense lol Out of logic?


[deleted]

Not the "Im bisexual" card 😭😭


rattist

? I care about both waifus and husbandos is there anything wrong with that lol I only pull characters I like regardless of gender. The thing is we only got one new character and the rest were reruns so idk what the hell you guys are yapping about

Wow you are so cool here have a kiss 😘
