It’s really weird to read stories with like an Arab inspired theme because the world that it’s inspired of is always either very barbaric or very sexual (like themes of slavery are always sexual compared to western themed)

Like I know it’s not supposed to be taken seriously but it’s literally everywhere in the shoujo genre and now it’s slowly making its way in the BL genre—

Not exactly complaining, but the representation is always really weird and considering how Arab and Arab culture is always subject of prejudices like a lack of morals or barbaric (while fetishizing the outfits and sexualizing them), it’s really difficult to enjoy these stories—

Like you always hav the rich prince and then everyone else is just either really wicked, ugly, or handsome but depraved.

I’m surprised they aren’t wearing sexualized Arabic outfit, that’s a props at least, cause we all know how it’s literally everywhere even if it’s not an actual Arab themed world hahaha

Maybe one day Arab culture will be represented a little better and not just with monarchy, money, oil, immorality, and sexy outfits... ^^”
The architecture really is the only really nice thing tbh
