Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Yeesh. I would send them a rudeness modifier if you haven't already.
Send rudeness notifier, but do not revert their deletions, especially the block about the "lack of representation". It seems to be a non-troversy (or even faux-controversy) whipped up for an unrelated reason: MiHoYo having to push back the release date on an upcoming free content update.

For the uninformed, lately there are people on Twitter stirring up a shitstorm out of thin air with the hashtag #boycottgenshin, citing misrepresentation, racism and bigotry, along with the usual security worries and release date changes. Those people then changed the the hashtag to #DoBetterMihoyo after the previous hashtag hardly picked any momentum and got instead mocked.
Edit: the statement is largely unrelated to the entry about Rosaria, but has more to do with trending accusations of the game apparently underepresenting races and mistreating indigenous people. As this is Twitter, you can already guess that it's a cesspool of pretend-cancel culture.
I think the entries are veering into drama importation at this point.

^ Please don't use "SJW" here. That's a very controversial buzz term.
Examples Are Not Arguable. This YMMV is not about whether a given troper finds the reaction "valid" or not, just that there was a reaction from several people that was documented on a reliable source like a news site, per the Unfortunate Implications page guidelines.
A reason to cut would be "techtimes is not a reliable news site", not "this was not the author's intent" (it's not a trope by the creator, it's an audience reaction of the audience) or "their reaction was not real" (we already require sourcing to show that the reaction is documented).
edit: Removing the "Despite the developers' claims of conforming with censorship guidelines," part to address iPhoenix26's issue would be good though. You could change "the overall lack of non-white heroic characters" to "the overall lack of equally dark skinned heroic characters to balance them out" too given the Liyue characters are indeed meant to be Chinese coded as opposed to the Mondstadt characters German coded appearances.

Why are we using bounding into comics as a source?
Their about reputable as breibart and make up so much stuff?

^ Best to bring up the issue with sources for Unfortunate Implications on Wiki Talk. This query is already resolved and rudeness notifiers have already been sent to iPhoenix26.
We also have the Unfortunate Implications Citation Discussion
thread in the Projects: Long Term/Perpetual section for help with UI source issues.
On UnfortunateImplications.Video Games, troper iPhoenix26 deleted a very controversial Genshin Impact entry while giving what appears to be a very blunt and rude edit reason.
>"I'm just going to guess that you don't actually play this game and only know about it from Twitter controversies because you are incredibly misinformed. First off, Rosaria's breast size was reduced because it was causing issues with her animations, not because of censorship. And about the Hilichurls... yeah, you really don't know what you're talking about. They're not based on any sort of "indigenous tribes"; I have no idea where that comes from. And anyway, is it really that surprising that, with the only regions currently available in the game being based on Western Europe and China, there aren't many playable characters with dark skin? Oh, and the two dark skinned characters that are playable are portrayed as good people, just like the "white" (except about half of them are actually meant to be asian) characters, even if Kaeya is a little shady. There are multiple other regions that will be released, one likely based on South America, and another based on the Middle East. Next time, make sure you get your facts right before making an uninformed edit."
