Yeah!! I raelly wanted to mention Ryu because even outside of Ciconia, so much of his characterization works well because of love- even the aspects of his work I dislike are overshadowed by the love he has for what he's writing.
And honestly yeah! The thing is that stuff was everywhere. I blamed Tumblr but a lot of it was proliferated elsewhere too (Buzzfeed was mainstream so). Tumblr discourse just affected the rest of the internet because of its dominance at the time. With Hispanic people, I don't even know if I Can wrap my head around the representation I've seen because even in black dominated media, you all are so prominent but.. How you are depicted varies so much!!
Thank you for reading!
