#stop applying black and white thinking / north american history to literally Everything i'm Begging yall

[raayllum]

i cannot believe i'm still seeing the same "tdp encourages colonialist mindsets" bullshit after a season where Ezran (one of the core good guys) is explicitly like "Ripping apart families by exiling humans and reaffirming borders is wrong," that the initial exiling of humanity was ALWAYS wrong (it literally Broke the continent in two and has to be slowly repaired over the course of every season, the symbolism could not be more overt) and no one in text has EVER indicated otherwise except Karim (a villain!! who's wrong about everything!!), that made it clear that humans not having magic was a Conscious Choice that Unjust Beings made that has been in the process of being rightfully dismantled since season 2.

AND the fact that TDP does talk about colonialism, just through a centring of non-North American/white based history. like i WONDER what could be going on in the world RIGHT NOW about critiquing a viewpoint (that the villains hold at their worst!!) of "well this was our ancestral homeland and we got Banished from it so taking it 'back' by Any Means Necessary (cue magic system where you treat the people still living there as literal parts) is Okay actually bc we're Oppressed (and can't organ harvest without consent whenever we want)" like.
