I usually never comment, but i feel like i have to, the way people dismiss the brother's argument. The hybrids have a clear allegory for POC (specifically, black experiences). Imagine an asian guy only dating black ppl. Could it be written off as preference? Sure. But race play is a common, controversial kink/fetish. Its very prominent with the "BBC" label in porn/smut. I dunno, the way people in the comments try and write off the implications makes me feel... icky. Maybe I'm just reading into things though. Finding out he's only ever dated hybrids also made me raise my brow. As someone who has dealt with being approached purely for fetish and sexual purposes, i totally resonated with him. And I think it's valid for him to be upset. (Also, him having an older man kink is NOT the same as protagonist only dating hybrids. It's weird people are treating that like its the same thing.)
