This was about to Jaxx’s civil war romance where a former slave tells the white MC “I am your slave, master” which eventually switched the conversation to BWAT’s tan MLs from “Taming the Tiger” and “Blossoms of the White Knight”.

Orientalist depictions of the Middle East are fairly common around all pieces of media from books, tv shows, anime, manga etc so I didn’t think pointing out it would be that bad.

But omfg some of these arguments for why it’s not orientalist are just not great.

Like why tf is criticizing a manhwa for exoticising the Middle East and taking issue with its clearly orientalist influences seen as “wanting to get rid of darker MLs” are the only two options “flanderized exotic dark ML” or “no darker skinned ML”???

To put it simply orientalist depictions of the Middle East frequently mix up Arab/Persian and Indian culture while sexualizing harems and demonizing the men into violent brutes.

“Blossoms of the white knight” doesn’t do this with their men but they still make the ML decently violent because of the whole “fight for succession” thing (also it does make him blonde and blue eyed for lore reasons ofc)but they also make him a typical ML who is head over heels for his lover. It does however fall into making everyone from his kingdom dark skinned when we come in all shades similar to Indians and Latinos, it also puts almost everyone in revealing outfits because “desert”.

I have not read “taming the tiger” so I will not speak on it.

Also acting like the fantasy “oriental Middle East” culture (with magic desert and gold blood ofc) is purely fantasy like some “Dark elf” shit feels like a whole other can of worms.

It's deeply concerning that I came across such blatantly misogynistic people while reading a manhwa on AsuraScans. They were so comfortable talking about violence against women as if it were no big deal. It honestly ruined my night, reminding me that you never truly know what's going on in someone's mind. I just hope the women around people like them have the luck, strength, and courage to leave before that mindset turns into real violence. Crazy how anonymous accounts makes one think they can just spit violence like that. If someone reads this and call me overreacting, you're probably sharing the same mindset of them. Please to my ladies out there stay vigilant. Mind you, I really created an account here on Reddit just to post this.

I liked it more than I expected. How about you guys

The story feels more like a tradegy than romance. (Purple ain't ml.) And I don't know why alot of fls say this. Like girl why you acting like the previous chapter you bite him to stop touching you. And he only stopped because of your flame powers begun burning him.[ Seven Wonders: Tyrant's Tears. ]

"why hate on fanservice" it's not that I hate fanservice it is the time and place in the story that correlate with it. You can't put me in a fight scene and place cheeks on my screen and espect me to take the battle seriously 😒 I never see a man's full out cheeks mid battle on my screen.

Is the new Infiniti Nikki that good? I used to have an image collection of every single Nikki image I could find online because her clothes were gorgeous but needed space and cleared them. And when I played the old game the Internet drain was ridiculous and stopped.The open world is what I'm curious

I was genuinely looking forward to silver palace but the male mc trailer is pissing me off. My only canon one will be the female mc. (Note: the women in the male mc trailer are more sexualized than in the female mc trailer ) The images are from the fmc trailer

Can I express how I hate how much I rarely ever see post talking about her actual character? It's always about her body and sexualization I rarely see online debates about her [ Yourichi from Bleach ]

I'm crying what stories are you all reading to see such a height difference. I only see a few stories like this but they ain't that ridiculous 😭 I'm not even angry but it's frying me like how does the wedding night even happen?

The premise of this story doesn't seem bad I'm willing to give it a chance However it seem to follow the harraser Yuri love interest trope but I'm hoping mc (black hair) changes red hair or something. Love interest is the twin sister of the emperor posing as him. Art is gorgeous

I honestly don't fuck with the "good slave owner" kind of stories. If a fictional protagonist is saving a slave why do most of them not abolish the slave mark? Or the author does the bullshit of making the former slave keep their mark. And the hatred for concubines in novels I Don't get it

This could be a Yuri game I can look forward too omg they remind me of path to no where.

"I love my pseudo incest fanfic and a stalker mermaid boy but I draw the line at a buff werewolf man" rip Valko. After gathering information it seems a lot of misinformation is being spread by the CN side of things to justify their hatred for him. Silent whispers use bro to filter the racist out

Okay so can I get a general situation from the Valko situation all I know is from the EN side of things. The Chinese side of things I've seen some racists stuff, some stuff about colonial Japan being placed into the game and I'm hoping comments can educate me and others what's going on.

They call you a Mary sue (her name is legit that) but your hatred was justified and presented us one of the best fight scenes in the entire show.

Listening to Josei audio books has to be one of the best decision of my life. I thought it was cheating to read bud now it's so convenient how I can do alot of stuff and just listen

RIP Valko. You shall be missed. They should keep him on global. Also the hate for him is unwarranted I understand boycotting the company to reduce gem prices and updating the main story that's fair but bruh Valko?! And there will be no further developments? Wtf.

Maybe it's tim I lockin to marriage toxin this woman is gorgeous

I ADORE the various intricate designs of Limbus Company's female side characters

In regards to JAXX and BWAT’s “Blossoms of the White Knight”: BL fans not wanting to accept that their BL might be orientalist

I Opened a Manhwa—Instead, I Found Casual Misogyny

Yoooooo
