feeling a lil uncharitable in this house tonight so simply going "a person who writes a silly story about their blorbo celebrating a holiday is not actively trying to perform a microaggression," to myself through gritted teeth. "someone trying to justify why they would write a silly story about blorbo is also not trying to be a fucking racist" I say to myself again.

But also what is with people trying to justify their Christmas AUs for Chinese characters. Do people think we have no real holidays of our own? Why do they think that. Can someone explain to me why, I'm waiting.

#never forgetting that one fic I read where someone read fucking funerary poetry at the mid autumn dinner table #and it was supposed to be ~deep~ and ~cultural~#would you read a poem about death at american thanksgiving #do you think mid autumn is just mooncakes and chinese new years is just like oh idk #some kind of parade and red money packets or whatever #you want our ~gay~ stories with pretty men but that's all you want huh #and before someone starts explaining that their chinese american friend is christian and celebrates christmas #I am well aware some chinese people celebrate christmas #plenty of us however find it no more special than any other day and most of us don't celebrate it to the exclusion of like other holidays
