The Genshin Impact Voice Actor Meltdown That Keeps Getting Worse

Asmongold opens by confessing he already tried and failed to make a video about this story once because it was "so frickin' unbelievable" that his commentary kept coming out "so messed up." The saga centers on Karina, the voice actress for Paimon in Genshin Impact, who has spent the past month in an escalating series of public meltdowns, accusations, and contradictions that Asmongold describes as "a tapestry of retardation that is so complex and so convoluted that I can't even mentally unravel it."

The Crash Out Video and Its Aftermath

The starting point is a now-infamous TikTok video Karina posted where she went on an extended rant about YouTubers. "YouTubers don't know anything," she said in the video. "They've never been in my industry. They don't know what my industry is about." She accused them of lying for content while claiming she had no incentive to lie — a statement Asmongold finds absurd because, as he puts it, "they have an incentive to lie in order to preserve your job."

The video was remarkable not just for its content but for its delivery. Asmongold notes the irony that this angry, unhinged performance came from the same person who voices Paimon, a tiny fairy-like character in the game. "That's what makes it so much better," he says.
