@UltrasteelYT@GmPenguin@OctorokR@Sprocketguys the fact that they are a hodgepodge of all these different cultures and stereotypes of them, the way you see them as this exotic "fantastical race" is exactly what makes them orientalist, that's what orientalism is, that's the problem
@UltrasteelYT@GmPenguin@OctorokR@Sprocketguys the gerudo take elements from real cultures and orientalist generalizations of those cultures and that's not a subjective opinion. The influence of Egyptian and African cultures along with western stereotypes of the Orient are present and can't be disregarded as subjective
