Genshin Impact fans have left numerous threatening comments aimed at this artist on Twitter.

Despite already having a somewhat tarnished reputation, the Genshin Impact community once again ignites social media. The reason being their exaggerated response towards an artist on Twitter due to their artwork.

Specifically, artist CUPPY, after posting an illustration depicting character Ayaka sitting on her brother Ayato's lap, received countless criticisms on Twitter. Many of these comments contained threats towards the artist.

Some comments left by netizens:

'Please don't be harsh on my artwork' - this person must have appalling thoughts about artistry.'

'Is there a way to pull someone out of a phone screen, because...'

'We need to annihilate this Genshin community.'

'I guess you're still just a kid, but the way you draw them is really...'

'I promise you, if you step outside once in your life and open your eyes, no sibling acts like that.'

'It's just a drawing. A fictional world. The characters don't exist.'

'What I mean is, the drawing is a bit suggestive, the blind just don't see it. Unless you do the same at home with your family, then it's normal.'

Although the fanart doesn't imply any 'shipping' between these characters or sexual connotations, it still receives numerous criticisms from Twitter users because the characters appear too intimate. Many deem this fanart as 'disgusting' and suggestive of incest, despite the artist's explanations.

However, there are also many supporters of artist CUPPY who argue that this is just a completely normal illustration, criticizing those 'overly sensitive' fans as 'snowflakes' behaving too excessively, especially when they resort to threatening language towards the artist. According to some online sources, the artist may be from Vietnam.

This isn't the first time content creators like artists have been attacked by fervent Genshin Impact fans. The simple reason is that what they create often offends many people, being deemed inappropriate.

Liking or disliking a piece of work is one thing, but many extremists go so far as to uncover personal information such as phone numbers and addresses of artists to harass them. Many have had to lock their social media accounts after such attacks.
