@FibroFogFig The mongol empire aren't explicitly depicted as being the good guys, the cuteness is pointed out because of how it contrasts to the irl counterparts, the mongol empire from the 13th century isn't comparable to people like hitler because of the historical time difference and stuff
Historical fiction like Jadugaar are so funny in the way it makes the nationalists on all sides bring back ancient beef no one would ever dream of in the modern day and racism unheard of since the 13th century like wow the whole house mad
These little shits annihilated cities upon cities destroyed libraries and hospitals slaughtered millions of humans. My only criticism amongst very few of #Jaadugar A Witch's Life in Mongol is that this art style ends up downplaying the evil these barbarians brought with them.
