Hello IRL me really quick I just wanted to mention the situation regarding Elliot Gindi, Tighnari’s EN VA for the game Genshin Impact. Now, if you are not caught up with the situation, a quick summary is that Tighnari’s English voice actor Elliot Gindi, has confessed to his less than stellar actions, to put it lightly, and is now under fire. I’m not going to go into too much detail about what he did but a few examples are,

Transphobia, Pedophillia, and showing his parts… to a minor.
That is all I am willing to share on this platform but if you want to look into it a bit more here’s a link to a tweet regarding the situation. I would suggest you read the document attached to it for more information and victim testimonies.

I am making this post to let you know that this does not add to the character himself. Tighnari and Elliot are two completely different people and judging Tighnari based on his voice actor’s actions is wrong. This is the only time that I will ever make a post about the whole situation, I refuse to give someone of his magnitude a platform of any kind. To say I am angry with Elliot is a massive understatement. My heart goes to all of the victims and I encourage you all to stay strong.
