And just when I think it's impossible to absolutely detest Juniper any more, she goes ahead and proves me wrong.

I'm reading Yellow face by R. F. Kuang and I am positively rage baited. I was told I'd hate the main character and of course I went, 'it can't be that bad'. YESSS IT IS THAT BAD. I FEAR THIS WASN'T STRESSED ENOUGH INTO MY BRAIN. Because Yeah I'm still gonna read it, I don't have to like the mc to read a book but GOSHHHHH THE RACISMMM. AND I'M NOT EVEN ASIAN WHAT ON EARTH. I WANNA PUMMEL BOTH DANIELLA AND JUNIPER INTO MARSSS

I just started yellow face, and there's this scene where Athena Liu's book is being edited to more or less make it more mild and palatable. And I have so many thoughts about RF Kuang, a woman who's first book was an incredibly gory painfully realistic fantasy retelling of war in china between colonizers which had it's most brutal chapter (golyn niis) taken from the rape of Nanjing, writing a woman who wrote a gory retelling of a war where a scene of soldiers hanging themselves and then their fellow soldiers being told to kill themselves elsewhere so they're not eyesores being taken from history, and having her work be altered to remove the brutal historical accuracy and put white people in a less "evil" role even though they were fucking evil.

i forced my twin @angayry-lad to try and guess the name of every bfdi contestant and they called yellow face sam this is canon now. i am john jacknjellify and yellow faces real name is sam
