yo what

So I guess I don't know why Talons is being singled out, and that feels like something I should know. Hence my bringing it up. No pressure - if you don't have the spoons for this sort of discussion, ignore this post. But I wanted to ask.

Tomb of the Cybermen is racist because it has a Black character that they do nothing with except throw into a flat stereotyped nothing of a character, but if they had treated that character better or not included him the story wouldn’t really change. There’s also that racist…Tibetan brownface monk time lord guy? in planet of the spiders. Which is a problem. But he could be removed and the plot itself would remain, which means that it’s relatively easy to enjoy the stories around the racism, if you can ignore or overlook some parts (which not everyone will want to, understandably). But in talons (by my understanding, having not watched it), there is no part of the plot that isn’t focused on racist ~Chinese mysticism~ ideas

it's really difficult to ignore the racism! because it's insanely racist! i think it's horrible that it's so popular! you're welcome to enjoy watching it, i can't tell anyone what to think. but god, it's so racist, and i'm fed up with being told it's not.

FWIW tho I don't find its having been made in the 70s especially shocking. I think it's pretty par for the course for the UK in the 70s.

might update this later because I don't know if I fully like it
