I feel like I should say since there's been a recent uptick in a lot of communities I'm in/see stuff from a lot of white people pretending to be Asian, but you are not welcome here if you are in anyway stealing from Asian cultures for clout or the aesthetics of it

This includes if you're white and you give your self inserts Asian names, I truly do not care if your f/o is from an anime, you should not be using an Asian name under any circumstances. I hate that whenever I see someone using an Asian name online, I feel like I have to start searching their account to see if they're actually Asian or just a white person who likes the aesthetic of it bcs far too many white people will use Asian names here just bcs it sounds cool, with no regard for the actual cultural meaning behind it. Meanwhile actual Asian people will be mocked for their names, or treated like their names are too hard to learn to pronounce, or discriminated against based on their names

Asian cultures are not a fun little costume for people to dress up with. They aren't just a nice aesthetic, they aren't just a thing you can borrow from bcs you think it sounds cool

Another interesting fact is that even though Cyrax's disrespect is frequent in the expansion, I highly doubt that she would tease Sektor about taking her place and feel so much contempt for Bi-Han's display of affection for Sektor if she knew that Bi-Han and Sektor were a married couple..

And in the intro between Cyrax and Sektor, Cyrax really sounds like someone who only found out about the romantic relationship between Bi-Han and Sektor after the attack on the wedding, because she really says with conviction in an intro that Sektor's love for Bi-Han blinded her, when since Bi-Han took over as grandmaster they have been on this quest to rule Earthrealm, with Bi-Han constantly referring to everything as "our", "we". And Sektor herself suggesting a better alternative to continue with their plans after Bi-Han thinks about stealing the dragon army:

"I had broken the Lin Kuei free of Liu Kang's enslavement. We were now masters of our destiny and could take our place among Earthrealm's greatest nations. But taking and holding territory would require a vast army. I needed more fighters to make our presence felt. Then I recalled Shang Tsung's dragon warriors. An army of them would be unstoppable. But trafficking in such strong magic would surely draw Liu Kang's attention. Sektor advised that we avoid detection by building our army using science, not sorcery. We've invested much time in this endeavor, and we are beginning to see results. Once again proving the depths of Sektor's genius. When we are done, all of Earthrealm will honor our desires and heed our demands. If not, they will face the Lin Kuei's wrath."

__SUB-ZERO CANONICAL ENDING

Cyrax: Love for Bi-Han has made you blind. Sektor: It is you who can't see the Lin Kuei's future.

Either Cyrax is extremely deluded about Sektor's character to the point of believing that she is doing everything out of love for Bi-Han without any conscience or she really didn't know that the two were lovers for a long time and planned everything together from the beginning.

Besides, according to Sektor's bio, Bi-Han only had dreams when he fell in love with Sektor, he had no plans at all. They became intimate, Bi-Han shared his dreams with her, she joined his efforts (which could range from influencing more Lin Kuei to think like them to actually developing a plan to rule Earthrealm) and made her his lieutenant (second in command of the Lin Kuei). However, how would he make her second in command of the Lin Kuei with his father still alive? And how could Sektor not have been disgusted by Bi-Han for letting his father die (like all the other characters) when she seeks to honor her family and is a filial daughter to Longwei?

To put it simply, they were already lovers when Bi-Han's father was still alive. And the way Bi-Han talks about his father's death without any remorse, continually despises his father for his loyalty to Liu Kang, and points out that his father also used to scold him for his ambition like Kuai Liang did to him throughout the story mode, it is quite clear that Bi-Han's father reprimanded his desires for the clan and did not approve of his choices. Whether those choices included marrying Sektor is not made clear. She was even Tomas' master, so it's hard to say she wasn't respected in the clan. It's also not clear whether being a master armorer is a high-caste position in the clan (because Sektor's position is only high and she has that much influence because Bi-Han made her lieutenant – second in command of the Lin Kuei – not because she's been master armorer since her father retired), but if Bi-Han's father already had marriage plans for him or if he saw that Sektor supported Bi-Han in what he disagreed with, it's easy to imagine that his father wouldn't approve of a marriage union between the two. Besides, Sektor was the first to know that Bi-Han let his own father die, and despite having no problem with her father, she doesn't repudiate the fact that Bi-Han had influenced his own father's death. Which leads us to believe that she didn't like the old man either.

Another interesting thing is that the only ones who knew about Sektor and Bi-Han's relationship before she left on the mission to rescue him from the titan Havik and they had that cute moment followed by an almost public dtr were Liu Kang (the god who could?can see what they are doing through the hourglass with the help of Geras), Shao and Reiko (the only allies that Bi-Han really trusted, developed a friendship with and spent a good amount of time with the group of Lin Kuei that he had taken to support Shao's rebellion in OutWorld while he was still Sub-Zero).

 Do not doubt Sektor's hatred of Havik's chaos, or her longing for Sub-Zero's safe return.

Sektor: I expect Bi-Han to make a full recovery. Liu Kang: Given the complexity of Havik's magic, I can make no promises.

Liu Kang: I have only ever wanted what's best -- Sektor: I am sure you believe that, too.

Liu Kang: There will be no conspiring with Quan Chi. Sektor: You're a god, aren't you? Stop me.

Liu Kang: How did you breach the Temple of the Elements?! Sektor: I will not share that secret.

Liu Kang: You should have trusted me, Sektor. Sektor: Why?! You left Bi-Han to rot.

Sektor: I couldn't leave you locked away in the Temple. Noob Saibot: You were right to be impatient.

Liu Kang: Sektor should have trusted me to heal you. Noob Saibot: You should not have made her wait.

Quan Chi: You were supposed to retrieve the amulet. Sektor: Saving Bi-Han was all that matttered.

Noob Saibot: How would you eliminate the Shirai Ryu? Quan Chi: Fetch the amulet as I asked and I will tell you.

Sektor: The Temple is secured now. The amulet can't -- Quan Chi: That is your problem, Sektor. Not mine.

Sektor: Our deal is off. I no longer -- Quan Chi: I thought Lin Kuei honored their word.

Quan Chi: Sektor refuses to abide our agreement. Noob Saibot: I won't force her hand, sorcerer.

Noob Saibot: You tried enlisting Sektor against me?! Quan Chi: Not against you. To help you see reason.

Noob Saibot: Leave. Before this gets ugly. Quan Chi: I am here to haggle. But if we must fight, so be it.

Kitana: Liu Kang allowed you to replace Bi-Han? Sektor: He hopes for reconciliation that will never come.

Cyrax: With Sektor as the Lin Kuei's grandmaster -- Smoke: I know. They could be even *more* dangerous.

I mean, even Smoke and Cyrax know that Sektor is more intelligent than Bi-Han and therefore capable of making the Lin Kuei even more capable of achieving the goal of ruling Earthrealm and yet Liu Kang sent Sektor back to the Lin Kuei and allowed her to exercise the power that Bi-Han had given her as lieutenant. All because he truly believed that she would spend years sitting on the ice throne waiting for his goodwill to give news about Bi-Han and that she would never have access to the place where Bi-Han was locked up…

Liu Kang: How did you breach the Temple of the Elements?! Sektor: I will not share that secret.

Geras: Defying Liu Kang's wishes -- Sektor: Is a choice I don't regret.

Geras: If you love Bi-Han, return him to Liu Kang. Sektor: It's because I do that I cannot.

Noob Saibot: If Liu Kang seeks to punish Sektor -- Geras: It would be his right to do so.

And although it is not clear how long the Lin Kuei supported Shao's rebellion in Outworld, according to the intros it was enough time for Sektor to know the level of Reiko's submission to Shao:

Sektor: No man deserves the deference you give Shao. Reiko: Clearly you do not know him as I do.

Enough time for Reiko to develop an admiration for Sektor's skills:

Reiko: You should be a weapon in the General's arsenal. Sektor: The Lin Kuei won't partner wih him again.

Enough time for Shao and Reiko to realize that Bi-Han and Sektor are lovers, although not even they know if they have an equal relationship:

Reiko: Do you share Bi-Han's power? Or just his bed? Sektor: Careful, Reiko. Disrespect can be fatal.

General Shao: Sub-Zero sends his woman after me? Sektor: He sends his most skilled warrior.

Enough time for Sektor to repudiate Shao for not keeping his word:

Sektor: Of all the duplicitous snakes -- General Shao: My loyalty is to Outworld, not the Lin Kuei.

Sektor: You made a deal with us, General. General Shao: One which no longer serves my purpose.

Sektor: Bi-Han risked everything to free you. General Shao: Not every gamble pays, Sektor.

And out of male chauvinism or just plain stupidity, Shao believes that Sektor is Bi-Han's property and her no means nothing:

General Shao: I need Sektor's services. Noob Saibot: You should have thought of that before freezing me out.

Reiko: What will it take for you to equip our army? Sektor: There isn't enough gold in the realms.

Sektor: I won't build weapons for you. General Shao: Then you will die by mine!

Bi-Han and Sektor are definitely a couple, but I agree that they are not legally married yet and by the way they managed to deceive Cyrax I can't help but wonder how long Bi-Han has been a grandmaster and how long ago exactly his father died
