people don't seem to get that if you just say "yeah I don't like shuro he's not my type. i think he made some bad choices, he's just not my fave" that's actually fine and i dont think anyone would call you racist for that.

but if you say "I don't like shuro because he lied and deceived laios and was too cowardly to be direct and he thinks everyone has to follow his culture and doesn't make an effort to understand anyone else and he expected falin to just drop everything and run away with him-" like yeah you know what? that feels distinctly more racist

on my hands and knees begging keepblr to put more thought into tam's clothing than just. things you would see a kpop idol wear. like every moodboard i see of him has the shirts with the first button undone and the multiple silver rings on each hand and i just. c'mon.

i would get it if i saw it applied more to other characters who canonically wear a lot of rings (sophie/fitz with the cognate rings + panic switches), probably accessorize a lot based on their character (biana), or might like something to fidget with (dex). but to see it with just tam, who is one of the few characters who hasn't been mentioned to wear rings in canon, makes it feel like those ideas came from...somewhere else.

Just realized that my dad could've been a real green flag with his golden retriever energy had he not been raised to be toxic by a bunch of pathetic humans in the name of 'parents'

i feel like amaurotine society's conformity is something that often gets overlooked in the english-speaking fanbase. not just in the way people bend canon for the sake of their azems, but i mean that it seems, at least for an american audience, that the ancient way of life is so odd and unlike what we're used to that it seems almost alien. unfortunately i'm also east asian so i can assure you that amaurot is real and is located in seoul, south korea. hell on earth.

Anime-onlys being mad at character(s) because they've got limited info about said character(s) and the character(s) did something wrong to another character or simply not being in the same wavelength with the characters they like more onscreen :

Manga readers who have read the manga many times for years before the anime release, have had discussions and lots of analysis, have had more contents about the characters and now can read nuances behind the characters actions :

I'm gonna kill you 😠

I've been reading the third Crazy Rich Asians book, and if they ever make it into a movie or show, I think Chloe Bennet should play Scheherazade - a character who has both brains and beauty and who comments on past experiences as being both white and Chinese

Genuinely such a fucking trip to hear my father parroting white genocide bullshit. Oughhh the white people are disappearing from these places oh noooOooO I “wonder why”... Disrespectfully what do you think you achieved by marrying a Japanese woman from Japan and having three entire half Japanese, Not White children with extremely obviously Not White names that you agreed to give them? Do you think that perhaps, maybe, this is what is happening to make white people ~mysteriously disappear~ ? Genuinely what the hell are you on. Look any of your three children in the face and tell us any of us looks convincingly white. No one can even tell I’m mixed race at all do you think anyone would be counting me as part of the white population when conducting the census to find where the white people have disappeared to. Do you need the white people to carve a mysterious message on a tree detailing where they’ve gone that you can also ignore so you can keep puzzling over this mystery

I love how even now everyone's Tim designs remain so varied. I've seen some general trends, but they're nowhere near as homogenized as some other characters. It's really interesting to see!! What does this guy look like in YOUR mind palace?

The British colonized and starved my people for centuries. I might not find everything on Meghan’s show relatable or accessible, but it’s not hurting anyone.

It’s her own money. Not stolen wealth.

It’s 2024 and I’m still (not so) politely asking for a crazy rich asians sequel

Twitter is full of stupid people but the idols definitely shouldn't have recommended that to fans. Reading messed up manga and watching violent anime isn't inherently wrong, but recommending it to fans IS wrong
