Don’t worry about it, it’s not a ban on “pretty boys”, that is false info due to mistranslation (not surprising)

Read this for context (I got this from another post about this topic):

“My understanding from colleagues of mine (linguistic anthropologists who both speak Mandarin and who have research situated in China), is that this interpretation you presented is actually based on misleading decontextualization of one term “Niangpao”. While directly meaning something like “sissy men”, it is contextually used in reference to specifically the k-pop aesthetic. To be more exact, the state is targeting a number of plastic surgery procedures intended to imitate European facial structures that have become a major fad across large swathes of Asia and have led to endemic body dysmorphia in the region. What is being banned is not a certain means of self-presentation, but the popularization of this plastic surgery/K-pop idol culture.”

Also:

It's a mistranslation that ultimately stems from English being more gendered than Mandarin

TL;DR: this ban isn't on "effeminate men", it's a ban on gross displays of excess, hedonism, and celebrity (which has become increasingly common due to Western and South Korean influences) that are simultaneously detached from ideals like hard work and diligence

None of the men in genshin show or promote this kind of “effeminate“ behavior, so I doubt genshin will be affected at all but ig we have to wait and see.
