@KaliThatGod I'm not saying this lightly but there's nuance to every media. these authors do not have the machinery to set precedents on any society. it's a bit problematic but that's it, debauchery of nobles or exoticism of heavy jewelry is hardly an imperialist issue rn, look around
@riotblooms Why is he wearing a forehead dot ^ their main goddess is clearly inspired by hindu deities? Why reference a *modern* mosque as a PALACE? This is insulting, multiple Arab and brown asian ppl find this offensive & weird. Read literally anything else.
@KaliThatGod it's a sad situation, I wish I could stop every non brown person from viewing this content, but I consume distorted media from east asia too so it's all a bit vague
@KaliThatGod I remember when bl dramas were just harrassment or incest, and they all deserve to get thrown tomatoes at but if they'd just gotten cancelled we'd be nowhere rn
@KaliThatGod it's Edward Said's worst nightmare but I hope we'll get better stories in the future, this gerne is heavily censored with little outreach and if any attempt to work with this aesthetic is stifled it'll just limit what we COULD have
@KaliThatGod I think Asian women like this content more than white people, it affirms harmful stereotypes but I don't think it comes from a place a malice. lots a valid critique but writers like amish tripathi/Khaled Hosseini that distort fact and fiction are much worse than this fantasy yaoi
@j_070820 it's Edward Said's worst nightmare but harems and parricide and political marriages were all realities of the islamicate world, what if I want to see yaoi in this setting but the region's aren't producing any😭🙏
@SpringFeelsLike@jwneyp@peterbinseung I think a lot of muslim communities have a very warped understanding of nudity, I do too because even shirtless pictures of grown men make me uncomfortable. not saying it's right or wrong but op should know our sensebilitiles are not universal
