Rumors are going around on twitter and weibo that starember might have left the tgcf manhua team omg.. they're unfounded right now but can we get a prayer circle going for hoping that it's true!! 🙏🙏🙏I'm so tired of their consistent racism and orientalism being passed around in the manhua space, people have been raising the alarm on it for literal years now

#for reference because im not sure its common knowledge about the manhua anymore #a brief list of concerns:#has drawn nazi incest art #purposefully drew the banyue people (whose main story relevance is that they attempted to suicide bomb the yong an kingdom) as obviously #islamic-inspired. w the “monstrous general” being the character with the darkest skin #drew hualian au art where xl was extremely pale and small and hc was a giant dark skinned half demon monster #important to note for that last one that in the manhua itself hc is extremely pale like xl. its just in thst one art where his skin was dark #constant orientalist fetishization of xl in a stereotypical hyper sexualized bellydancer costume #arguable whitewashing of feng xin who is canonically tan tho this is somewhat up in the air considering that he is tan in comparison to the #other characters but thats just because all of the other characters are white as paper #i have proof for anyone who wants to see for themselves but its truly damning just how much ppl excuse from them #just bc they have a pretty art style #it sucks tbh #tgcf
