I used the wording "asian artists" cause I've seen this same thing on manga, manhwa and Thai webcomics, and there's nothing wrong with playing in a fantasy setting but I wonder, if a middle school weeabo where writing a "manga" set in historical japan but the only research they do is watching anime and they decide to add a rant about how
(ugh, I accidentally hit post) about how obis where stiff and uncomfortable and it was horrible how people where forced to wear something that restricted their movements, would you give that kid the same leniency you're giving this author? Or would you call the kid out on their missinformed opinion?
but to answer your question, no, i would not leave a comment about how misinformed they were bc what am I reading? FICTION BABY. I’d say something if the genre was Nonfiction but again i probably wouldn’t because i like to support artists and writers, not put them down based on their own creative writing in a fictional world they created
I closed the chapter and dropped this the second they started to talk shit about corsets. It's not even like the clothes where anywhere near historically accurate so they brought up corsets just to lie about them. I get that asian artists are likely extremely unaware about anything about western historical fashion outside of what they have seen on tv and movies but if you're going to bring it up the least you can do is like go on Google and check if what you wrote is true.
