I am HOLLERING, you’re telling me an entire fandom is going around harshing on people for “incest” when they DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND 兄弟
SCREAMING
y’all this is the equivalent of calling a ship incest because either of them calls the other “bro” I am DYING

two characters: you’re my bro, bro. like, bro, how could I ever treat my bro with anything less than the utmost respect, bro??
if the characters are white: “wow look at their bromance, so bro”
if the characters are chinese: “this must be some mystical asian incest dynamic”

motherfuckers can understand “fraternity” in LES MIS but not 兄弟 💀
anyway this is why I have never waded into a single anglophone c-fandom, the way westerners completely misunderstand and bastardize my culture is only hilarious because if I didn’t laugh, it would just be painful. ignorant-ass mofos who can’t learn a language
this is why I don’t explain anything in #InTheWatchfulCity ☺️ because an explanation will not help the chronically ignorant, and someone who wants to know can google or ask someone; I’d rather give someone a verisimilar immersion experience without asides

let me just also be absolutely clear & say this on main:
even if it were actually incest
that is 100% fine for you to ship
because it is FICTION they are FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, what you ship or have them do does not involve a real human to harm
UNLESS YOU HARASS PEOPLE FOR IT

supernatural’s wincest ship is so ubiquitous & accepted that there is CANONICAL IN-SHOW lampshading of it but ok ppl, go harass people based on your complete inability to understand the term 兄弟 and chinese kin dynamics, this is literally the same colonial shit as in the 1800s

these motherfuckers who think they’re soooooo progressive and ethical while being antis seem to have zero fucking awareness that they’re using the same colonial & imperial tactics also employed to destroy cultures
CHINESE IS ONE OF THEE MOST ALETHIOMETER-ASS LANGUAGES AROUND
this is just an excerpt of the dictionary entry for 香
which I select to show you cannot convert chinese 1:1 to english because you MUST understand the context—western anglophones chronically strip away context

bold of you to assume ppl think we and our languages are understandable at all! thank you 300+ years of Inscrutable Oriental discourse! this is the latest manifestation of westerners thinking they know our culture better than us and moralizing us based on THEIR misinterpretations

“fiction affects reality,” declares person using violent suppression tactics on art and terrorism tactics to eradicate dissent and intellectual exploration, thereby ensuring that reality cannot be accurately represented in fiction
by this logic, I am having an incestuous relationship with my iPhone, which I named Broca upon activation

I just—
it’s amazing how star wars and game of thrones have actual incest and people just go “oh yeah that was a thing that happened,” but get two chinese guys saying “you’re my bro and I’m you’re dude, man” and suddenly everyone is up in arms about fictional incest 💀

in the year of our lord 2022, the USA releases a film called BROS while its selfsame denizens argue that “sworn brother” is incest actually
