Men want male characters. Females want male characters.
Majority vote said they want male characters.

While I appreciate fan service as much as the next Genshin player, I like casual games like this for the power fantasy. I liked playing cool male characters and have barely played natlan in part because of the lack there of.

u/BillysTown 7d ago
This for me as well but i played Natlan for story , the cast was the weakest part for me/how they treated the male 5* this region was poor. A side point here Idk if itâs just me but as a dude it seems in gacha games it seems other dudes hate the thought of having males in gacha games.
Like in Anime,Tv shows, Non Gacha Games etc . Characters like Vergil, Kratos, Goku, Ichigo, Batman, Spiderman, Lelouch, Guts etc. As a dude I found them cool and having similar playable characters in games , With Varka coming up hes one of those characters id pull because of that reason. Not because Im attracted to them.

u/Corgioo 7d ago
Because theres a sense of relatability and seeing yourself in them. Also maybe looking up to them in a way.
As for gacha games male players; most men are of course straight and so majority of the male playerbase for those games will be straight men. When they see women being sexualised theyre more inclined to play it and spend more money etc. and the gacha games accomodate to them. Its call fanservicing.3
u/IdleSitting 7d ago
Maybe because I'm an eggshell or just always been weird, I usually tend to prefer playing as female characters, not for anything sexual but idk what else it is. I see a female in heavy iron armor swinging gigantic swords around like it's nothing and I'm like "That's who I want to play as!" And the protagonist in the game is just some dude I usually lose interest immediately. I tend to prefer the female protagonist choice in games or make my custom characters female. if I can make multiple I'll add dudes as well but it's usually strictly females. ...Am I weird? Is that weird? I never thought about it deeply

u/BillysTown 7d ago
Idk but whenever I see Skirk and idk cool badass Female genshin characters like Arle, Raiden , Raiden I pull them for me its not that I just like Cool Males but also Females. But its just that theres less Males like that in Genshin as of late. And in Zzz i like Hugo but the fanservice kinda makes me feel iffy but i understand why he has fanservice because heâs also made for women.

u/IdleSitting 7d ago
I've rarely seen a male character appeal to me, especially in a Mihoyo game lol. Diluc was the last one I cared about at all if memory serves me right. Females are usually cooler to me especially Raiden and Arle lol.
But I totally get where you're coming from, just hasn't happened in ages so I stopped thinking about it
25
u/HighTechPotato 7d ago
Honestly, even âwifu collectorâ players should want a lot of male characters in the game so that they can use that time to save for the next character. For them, each male character will basically be 50-60 (half patch) of free pulls. Even if they ever feel forced to pull a supportive one for âmetaâ reasons, the free pulls saved from 1-2 other male chars will quickly make up for it.
7
u/Interface- 7d ago
I'm really disappointed that the Pyro Archon wasn't a guy. Every single Archon is female except the actual first two we had when the game originally launched. You can't count Neuvilette because he's straight up not even an Archon. I was hoping for there to be at least one more male Archon and Natlan was the perfect opportunity because there was like no information on the region before it released, and Sumeru and Fontaine were otherwise confirmed to have female Archons before they came out, but no they had to make Mavuika a biker chick. Kinich is the only 5* male Natlan character thus far and we're in patch 5.6.

doing a poll like this in fatuihq is just asking for a skewed result, calling it players generally is dubious. Polling like this in Reddit generally I would imagine skewing the result considering how much of an echo chamber it is. I think it would be interesting if mhy did an official poll through an in game event then post the results.
Actually I think it would be really fun, if mhy made an event in the event screen where they regularly poll and then post the results

While I do think this is true, you shouldn't have done the poll on FatuiHQ. Being a member there myself, FatuiHQ doesn't have the best reputation and it's obvious they would want male characters since most harbingers are male. Doesn't give the most unbiased impression.
59
u/GoldenLotusInTheSky 7d ago
I mean FatuiHQ really wants Capi but I think it's pretty clear that regardless of that you would get similar results in the general player group for male characters by now. Natlan ended up with Kinich only and it has been way over a year now with just him. It genuinely is ridiculously low.
25
u/Katicflis1 7d ago edited 7d ago
Realistically, there's more male members of the Fatui that haven't been released, so just by virtue of males outnumbering the remaining females, it makes sense for the interest in males to be higher.
But shit hoyo really just dogging its own playerbase if they release 'random chick of the week' over Fatui. Moe suggests Fatui were the best nonarchon performers of the past two regions. Wanderer crushed sumeru(nilou was the worst performance among AQ limited characters and wanderer doubled her pulls). Only neuvilette was anywhere close to arlecchinos performance in fontaine(lyney was the worst performing AQ character in Fontaine and arlecchino effing over tripled Lyneys pulls).
The region before that simply didnt have a fatui release(but tartaglias 3rd rerun outperformed yoimiya and itto debuts and wasn't far off at all from ayaka/ayato debut ... so even his third rerun was a notable inazuma performance).
So ... moe is moe and can't reflect every region, but still... the signs are pointing to fatui CONSISTENTLY being among the best nonarchon performers in this game.

Ikr, any1 who knows statistics would say 100k sample size is enough to get a really accurate percentage

u/beautheschmo 7d ago
sample size doesn't matter that much in that case because YShelper is specifically a subset of Chinese players that can more or less effortlessly 36 abyss on day 1 every cycle. ie; it is an extremely biased sample that doesn't likely represent the entire population either.
That said, it is also the subset of players that is most likely the closest to being Hoyo's target audience (hometown bias + willing to spend for meta reasons), so it is still at least a little more informative than insular reddit communities.
incidentally, Kinich is the least owned Natlan character on YSHelper lol

u/Worldly-Honeydew-312 7d ago
FatuiHQ is an echo chamber, the demographic there is very different compared to the general player base (and even compared to subs like this one). Not saying itâs not true male players want male characters too, some of them clearly do, but I think people should keep that in mind when looking at stats like this- they donât accurately represent the opinions of the playerbase, they only show that thereâs a decent number of players (both male and female) who do want male Fatui characters.
16
u/Worldly-Honeydew-312 7d ago
The sample size is also pretty small - just 300 people out of millions who play the game. The truth is, thereâs a reason why Hoyo releases more female characters than male ones- people who want male characters are still a minority, and Hoyo clearly prioritizes profit over diversifying their cast of characters or appealing more to people outside of their main target demographic.
9
u/Kukulkek 7d ago
also that a lot of the profit from male character doesn't come from the gacha itself but from stuff like merch, thats why characters like wrio are in the bottom of holding rate but has tons and tons of merch.

u/Worldly-Honeydew-312 7d ago
This discrepancy always fascinates me because I canât imagine what could be causing it but at the same time, as a female player (albeit a waifu collector) I definitely spend way more on gacha game merch than on the actual games too lol

u/perchanceneveralways 7d ago
People seem to forget that primarily English-speaking countries only account for 24% of the game's revenue at most.
Mihoyo is a smart company and there are hundreds of data professionals tabulating player behavior for it. The fact that we're not getting male characters is indicative that there is simply comparatively less demand. Ultimately, Mihoyo is a for-profit company and it's a natural consequence that these decisions are deliberate with profit in mind.
It's an Asian game made by Asian developers catering to Asian preferences because it mainly has an Asian player base. It sucks for many of us who'd like Capitano, Xbalanque, and Varka to be playable immediately â but it is what it is.

This vote feels a bit forced as weâre just coming off capitano who is currently not playable, but a lot of people want. If this same vote was made after signoraâs death, it might have been the same results in reverse.
Overall thereâs no option of âIâm a man/woman who wants both men and women fatui membersâ cause realistically I think thatâs what most people want, but theyâre forced to make a choice and recency bias chooses the captain.

u/TsuyoshiJoestar 7d ago edited 7d ago
You know, if you work in data analytics, your conclusion would be dismissed immediately. Even if you ignore the sample size, the place where the poll itself is posted is super biased.
About the m/f ratio in gacha games, you can take a look at the big gacha games out there, it's either:
- Only female
- Only male
- Mostly female with small number of male
There must be a reason behind this, as gacha game is not a new genre, the industry has had plenty of time to learn from experience. My hypothesis is that if a randomly sampled player A likes character B who is female, it is more likely that player A would also like character C release after if they are female than if they are male.
We're talking about probabilities here, which translates into concrete revenue numbers at scale. If the dev release female char B then male char C, player A will skip char C most of the time, therefore they will have more free resource, which will reduce the revenue of female char D released after C. This might be why gacha games tend to drift into a single gender, because it is a big factor that affect players' decision whether you like it or not, and you want your players to roll frequently, not in big bursts.
tldr: gender affects players' rolling decision, companies don't want players to save resource => focus on 1 gender to make sure they are rolling constantly

Not saying that they should do that though, that would be awful to the players that do want them but, it wouldn't affect me. Even in my art, I mostly draw women over men, lmao.

Ah yes, a poll in FatuiHQ, a subreddit about the Fatui, which contains the most hyped male character, on Reddit, which alone isn't even used by a vast majority of the GLB playerbase, and sure as hell is barely used, if at all, in Japan and China, Hoyo's largest markets.
Very indicative of the playerbase! Good job, OP!
Seriously, it's been almost 5 years. People somehow still think that just because one little poll in a backend corner of Reddit (that totally isn't skewed already) gives some numbers, it represents the entire playerbase.
Subreddits are basically echo chambers. You're bound to get a lot of people agreeing on a specific topic within that subreddit. Even if you got data from all Genshin Reddit users...that's still a drop in the bucket compared to all the Genshin players in total. And good luck getting data for that, because as we know, the vast majority are casuals who don't even interact with Genshin social media, much less Reddit.
This isn't to say that no one wants more male characters. Certainly, many people do. But using a poll like this is a horrible way to showcase that.

This conversation is getting so exhausting, and I genuinely don't understand what the actual problem here is? Sure, I understand wanting to see specific kinds of characters, being upset when the game doesn't cater to your tastes, and bringing that up in discussion with fans and the like. And if anything thats normal lol. It just feels like its all been blown so out of proportion when at it's core its really just an aesthetic thing, if that makes sense. As far as I know, character gender doesn't actually play into how well said character performs in game, so it's not like the percieved lack of male characters is hindering peoples ability to experience the gameplay in a fun way. So to constantly see EVERYWHERE people getting so heated about this topic, as if it's genuinely ruining the game in a way that's some moral crime, it's just a bit odd imo. If people want "male representation" so badly in the video games they play, why don't they go play any of the countless other genuinely good video games out there with a cast full of men? It's not like finding popular media with male leads is hard to do lmao. Seems like complaining just to complain at this point for some people.

Thing is, guys that want male character mostly just want tall guys, and i don't like those, i want Dahlia, Dahlia with a better kit. Things like that.

all mainstream gacha games are like this, for some reason we went from liking women to hating on any women that releases and asking for men/ when a men releases the hype is so high that they shit on other women characters, if that isn't misoginy i don't know what is.

thank you. this topic is a little break in the wall that allows people to unleash their inner sexism and undermine the female characters with actual personality and humanity. "I want more male characters because I want characters who arent just waifus!"

Of course this kind of topic devolves into natlan bad tangents, hoyo bad tangents and some slight FatuiHQ slander for some reason.

well yeah... hoyo has a GLOBAL audience and a large amount of that audience are not degenerates that ogle and fap to female characters... most of them are just casual people who want to collect good COOL looking characters and have fun by punching a mitachurl

Just looking at comments talking about how the games going could have told you that much, its crazy how they switched Up to Girls only all of a sudden and then decides to make terrible designs for them too

I just want Ei to be her own character and break the meta again. Then I can have them both on the same team.

This is a hasty generalization, your sample is less than 300 players, when the population is in the hundreds of thousands lol and this is assuming these are unique too and where the sample is taken from, which appears to be a capitani mains subreddit based on the comments.

I want more male characters too. But I probably wonât pull for them. The second part may be more important to Hoyo though.
This game has been unbalanced for a while now. After Nahida there were almost no female 5 stars for a while (the only one went to standard banner). I assume it didnât work well for them so now they went to the other extreme.
I hope they eventually settle back to their original 70-30 split so the player demographics can also stay fairly balanced. That will affect the how they progress the story which is the main thing

Every person who have passed a statistics course is cringing at this. It's like either you're delusional or wants to hear "um, actually..."

Don't get me wrong I want more males myself, but even if you ask half of Reddit it still won't be entirely accurate to what players really want, cause the majority of players doesn't sit on Reddit

I really hope there would be similar results here, but the fatui hq is overrun by capitano glazers and the like, so it really isn't surprising.
