using the word exotic to describe countries/people is not ok. (used in order to fetishize other cultures, aka racist).
Instead of that, it would be better to use "foreign" or "other countries."
'exotic animals', they wasn't talking about the people buddy, they were talking about the leopard. if your first thought is that an 'exotic animal' is a person then youre literally racist
ahhh my mistake, they said 'exotic countries', yes thats a little different. still wouldnt call it fetishisation necessarily ╮(￣▽￣)╭
the way they used it wasn't inherently racist, but the word itself has gained that connotation due to its usage towards foreign countries. It can also be a sign of subconscious prejudice. Because of that, it's better to just not use it.
I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to.. I didn't even think this woud be interpreted as racism
I just thought that in most manhwa the story is set in a country like "the villain's pet" and in manhwa, countries with animals like felines or with higher temperatures are called exotic so I thought it woud be okay to say it
I'll be more careful from now on and thank you for letting me know
It's ok, don't worry! I know that some people just don't know, that's why I put alternatives that you can use instead!
some manhwas have a lot of problems with racism/prejudice so be careful!
Got it!
I want that leopard
Royals of exotics countries in manhwa are always accompanied by predators (snakes, felines, hawks) NOT FAIR
