they wrote the kurkans as these animalistic brutes and it makes me uncomfortable. dark skin, huge bodies, AND they go into a heat like state? plus it’s always the pale skinned, sweet, tiny girl, with the giant, dark skin, irrational guy pairing. im clearly not the target audience, and i find it very disrespectful, but to each their own. however, i’m not reading this corny cliche trash.

    There's reasons behind why the Kurkans look the way they do. It's not to be disrespectful or anything- they're a race closest to that of beasts, so ofc their bodies would be huge. And imo, the dark skin fits better if they live in the desert, don't see many white people in the desert, do you?

    I mean I get if it's not your taste but I don't understand how you consider it disrespectful,, the kurkans are more genuine, civilized and honorable and the white royals are the ones dealing with slavery and calling them barbaric just because they're different. if anything, imo it resembles the truth and history.

    That’s fair, if they live in the desert. I dropped it as soon as I found out they went into heat, so I wasn’t aware of that. However, I still find it distasteful LOL. Like I said, i’m tired of the same trope of the giant, dark skin, animalistic ML, and the tiny, pale, kind FL. It’s constant and repulsive. Again, to each their own.

    I find it disrespectful because I feel like they’re written in a way that feeds into many negative stereotypes already present about brown people. And SO many of these stories have them.

    It’s disrespectful for the orientalist culture that is south Asian inspires and still making them beast like. If they really just wanted to give them tanned skin and make them close to beasts, they didn’t have to add the culture they did

    You’re completely right. Stereotypical tanned fictional man that is clearly South Asian with a mix of western arab influences that goes into heat and is considered barbaric. His wife is a dainty paled woman. It’s the most cliche shit a Korean author could come up with. You’re COMPLETELY right
