I’m a bit confused by the article. It starts off by trying to analyze whether or not yoon-suin is ‘bad’ because of ‘orientalism’ and then let’s it off the hook because it seems to be instead inspired by western fantasy tropes which then also makes it ‘bad’ for another reason.
I would be really interested in an explanation of how to do this properly - creating something new that isn’t western fantasy without being inspired by somewhere else or doing it respectively - is it even possible?
I’m also interested in dismissing works because they include some evil that is real in the world. In this case its a caste system. Must all societies depicted in rpgs work be wholly good - devoid of all the real evils that people and societies do?
A very interesting topic that I unfortunately don’t have any good opinions on…
