ur comment on that post abt dunmeshi mischaracterization is so real. the white ppl have got to go i have seen the most egregious takes on certain characters particularly the ones who are clearly not white and its like hmmm i wonder why these white ppl r so quick to demonize the characters that arent white 🤔

TRULY. It's so scary out here. Can anyone hear me

#Also not The Same but the way chilchuck is treated in fandom..... Like he's probably meant to be white but also.#Like. That man experiences racism. God damn. Halflings are literally treated like dogs (consider the parallel between dogs pulling mandrake #And halflings on boats to warn the sailors of sirens. Plus the whole succubus bait stuff) anyway while it's not the same as the way the #Fandom treats Toshiro and Kabru I think the way so many ppl either... Don't really acknowledge the fact that chilchucks behavior is shaped #By marginalization (ex. When he's kinda mean to marcille when she asks why he doesn't like magic. Like. The abductions. Another ex. How he'#Not super open abt his age. Yeah that's a little odd but also: hes a fucking adult he shouldn't have to share personal details to be treate #Like one!!!) and the fact that when ppl do talk Abt halfling marginalization it's almost always the infantilism like.#That sucks super hard but they are being used as fucking succubus bait we aren't discussing that even a little?#Anyway I have some thoughts Abt how some ways the half lings are stereotyped actually reminds me of like. Arab and general West Asian #Stereotypes but that's for a diff post. Anyway Toshiro and Kabru are base level can you be fucking normal and chilchuck is can you like #Actually acknowledge shit that. Idk even how to say it like the story literally beats u over the head with it and ppl just don't talk Abt i #Sorry for chilchuck brain but he's genuinely a character I empathize with a lot bc of marginalization reasons even tho he sucks a lil
