lee minho is the most basic looking man in korea and i fucking mean that. casting him as junghyeok can only mean that they didn't give the novel a chance to get to know the characters. whoever did the casting needs to be fired I'm serious
wish i could draw so i could draw my fav characters as actual fucking sirens instead of this omg. like GO READ SOME MYTHOLOGY OMG btw this is not directed at this artist only but generally. the art is cool btw 😸😸
@glossyvnte
koreans' understanding of mbti always makes me so mad. like guys your personality is not based on the E or N of the T or the J. it's much more complicated than this
@maideninnocence
people like the orientalistic clothes because they look "cool" to them than the original clothes even tho they're literally so ass. like look at the clothes in the pic. they're so high fashion. THOSE are the clothes that many designers now are inspired by not the opposite
@_sunraii
THAT'S WHATS ANNOYING cuz IK there are literally other actors who fit the role more and i ssw multiple people who can look close to what yjh looks like but this happens. they're a bunch of incompetent and lazy people
@svsssrf
i just CAN'T imagine him glaring so intensely with that soft face looking of his 😭😭😭😭 like I'm not minimizing his acting skills, it's just obvious to anyone who looks at the novel illustrations and the webtoon art that lee minho should be the last person to choose
okay so i didn't wanna do this but I'll have to mute this cuz my notifs have been going crazy but before i do i want to say that the point here is not only historical accuracy, but also the fact that the artist's work is racist and orientalistic.
orientalism may seem really silly to some people but it's not. it's very serious issue and it's very harmful to the cultures that are being used for orientalistic art or media generally. orientalism only feeds to the white view for mena and swana but it harms us
i absolutely love the design and i LOVE how he looks HOWEVER the outfit is ancient egyptian style and then when we look at his name and his features overall, he looks like he could be desi. putting two cultures together is already smth hyv is doing and is getting criticized for
@rosesandthorn18
yeah ik better than the producers. if the p4oducers and director gave the book their time, they'd know that this whole cast is completely horrible. don't try me alright? cuz you're not winning here
@DOUJI4th
it's not about them being revealing. before women wore the clothes in the photo you see they used just wear a skirt and go out bare chested and it wasn't a taboo. what i mean is that the outfit is stereotypical and orientalistic
@haseulagenda
even as a middle eastern you do not have the right to speak about it. belly dancing as you guys call it is egyptian and it's called raqs balady which literally translates to egyptian dancing. and yes it is not ca. anyone can dance it BUT only if you learn the right techniques
orientalism is what made white people or non swanas genuinely belive that we to this day ride camels as transported. like sure sometimes but it made people refuse to see us as humans and only just some poor things.
@Viyana_reader
@ThePresent_twt
well ofc it's expected that it wouldn't be the same BUT changes like this SHOULD NOT happen AT ALL. it just shows that the director didn't read the novel. it's just sad honestly
@elysiamazigh
just looked into their acc and their qrt to their tweet is them tlaking arabic....idk abt you but that is definitely not egyptian arabic and smth tells me it's darija or idk what you guys call it 😭😭 it seems like a gulf arabic idk
you should put that pen down and never draw again because wtf is this??? did you as an artist even research before drawing because this is so ass. nobody in ancient egypt wore stuff like that. educate yourself
the issue is very serious so no I'm not overreacting and no you can't tell me that this is just anime and it's a fictional charctet. then why she as a fictional character is she wearing clothes that are supposedly inspired by real people?????
it seems people forgetting that hu tao literally cleared the best pyro dps for three whole years before arlecchino's release?? honestly if anything, hu tao's gameplay is still so much better than arlecchino
egypt is not an aesthetic. the ancient egyptians were real people that had lives and families. people that had dreams and passions. they're not some aesthetic. our culture is not an aesthetic. if yournot going to use it correctly, then just forget coming anywhere near it
@kcokaine_
no no I'm not saying anything bad abt you and your art! i loved it! it's so cool. i was speaking generally that people think sirens are like mermaids who live in the sea when they're not.
@taerrawr
EXACTLY like sorry but i can never imagine lee minho glaring intensely luke he does. it's impossible. he'd just look cute or smth AND THAT NOT WHAT WE WANT
@haseulagenda
you're trying to speak over someone who has more right to speak abt the matter. like honestly this is not so nice. you're just being rude
@haseulagenda
1- it's a character from a manhwa. 2- what is your problem here? did i cuss you out? did i insult you? why tf did you become so fucking pressed?
and please don't try to point out that the people in the picture are white. i know that we're not white but we're also not black so i hope no one tries to start this bullshit that the ancient egyptians are black and the modern ones are colonizers. i will instantly block you
@rob_markovich
@parivolans
@lyvrb0y
"based on a social media trend" so not because men actually fucking suck⁉️ cuz as far as ik every problem out there is caused by a man and NOT a woman
@1ruhyne
that's what I'm saying but i also heard that singshong gave them the book and told them to rake care of it so there are no ways to excuse all this shit
@Yaven_
it's racist and ugly dude 😭 like i wouldn't be sad if they made her a villain but they gave her a nice background story and a righteousness (?) personality or smth so it just doesn't make sense smh
@_sunraii
it's not just kpopers. we literally have lee minho stans jumping us cuz we're complaining. like bitch what's it to you if we're complaining? WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT
it's not just a native child, ANY CHILD. if i take my kid to school and he comes back differently, in ANY way, then this is a serious issue. tampering with a child's image, their clothes, their hair in this horroble way is so disgusting
@monocearos
i think they're ranked by influence and power. it seems impossible to imagine dottre fighting for example so it feels impossible to think that he could be stronger than tartaglia. the same with pantalone and sandrone. they don't seem physically stronger than him
@joonycle
yeah cuz why does every video that's like my opinion based on your bias have to insert daddy issues to biasing namjoon. also, SAME. no matter what i do and even if i feel like life is the best thing out there, that feeling isn't permanent and I'm back to point zero. it's tiring
@brutalforyou3
@loneregressor
first of all, it's not a manga as it's not japanese. it's korean. and NOT originally a manhwa too. it's a novel. also, WRONG. do you think that if the la's story was as good as the novel, people wouldn't be interested in reading the manhwa/novel?
yk what nothing abt this is normal. like 1- wtf did they jump so fast intot he relationship 😭😭 2- wtf is wrong with that bitch? "drove out of rafar at 4m to hug me to sleep 🥺" your husband kills chikdren in rafah and comes home to romance you like nothing happened. yikes
i get you were inspired by the outfits of "the matra" BUT even these people are not supposed to be matra. the dessert aka deshret's kingdom is based on Egypt and the rainforests is south Asia. these poeple in the photo you put for context are supposed to be the dessert habitants
@ClownBitchCore
yeah cuz why are men full armored and full dressed while women have their boobs out⁉️⁉️⁉️ like okay do we not get wounded like men or what?
@whooperjin
no but you're so true. the problem is that they take whatever is stereotyped abt the type and they go with it LIKE THIS IS NOT HOW THEY WORK AT ALL 😭😭😭
i agree with the whitewashing on the other characters, but is the whitewash in this cyno art? his skin color is the same as his in-game skin color...i think?
let's not forget that burger king supports isrsel. these people do not actually care about you and your pride. they're doing this to win money and it's obvious
it's not cultral appropriation and not cultural appreciation too because if she really appreciated it she would've danced better idk idc. it's just plain orientalism
its insane that ppl actually think this is cultural appreciation and not something that’s, regardless of the persons intention, inherently racist and oreintalist
@DivineGeneraI
@guaguapiu_
yes thank you for saying this. tho, it still matters. because artists should research before drawing. if you're going to make smth inspired by a real life cukture then a simple research is all we ask for.
i wanna do an egyptian culture thread or smth especially upper egyptian culture (the south) i love saiidi culture so much. and maybe like make smth like traditions that stayed the same since ancient egypt cuz we have a lot...maybe a thread on egyptian history...idk
6- in the old kingdom, egyptians wore a type of skirt called shendyt. usually, men are always shown wearing it in statues and on wall paintings, but women also wore the shendyt. women being bare chested wasn't a taboo because they were seen as equal to men.
why should we blame people for having fun????? how can they be at least for listening to music and having fun while those idols that commit literal CRIMES aren't being blamed??
when you say "this is what you for stanning bgs" you're actually shaming the people(mostly women) for liking bgs and NOT MEN
yet again the blame is going somewhere other than MEN.
MEN are at fault. good lord.
15- the kalasiris was worn either at the waist like a skirt or right under the chest. at some point it was extended above to cover the chest too. above this kalasiris, a capelet was worn. it was a rectangle of linen twisted or folded and usually attached to an ornamented collar.
1- in ancient egypt, clothes were very simple and practical. egyptians back then made all their clothes mostly from linen which is made from the flax plant. they made this textile by spinning the fibers from the stem of the plant. example below.
2- the picture below is an example of the lenin dresses made in ancient egypt. this is the tarkhan dress which is the oldest surviving lenin made dress in history, dating back to the 4th century bc. it was discovered in tarkhan, south of cairo in 1913.
ik we're cool and everything but can people please leave egypt and ancient egypt alone??? I'm sick of seeing it used as aesthetic. I'm sick of seeing orientalist art of us. I'm sick of artists never doing enough research and just going with the stereotyps like please just stop
and so the existence of matra wasn't there. cyno's ancestor if i remember correctly was someone in the temple and all of them wore the same outfit ofc. if i was correct, the one in the middle of the picture could be the head of the temple or smth; hence why his outfit is fancier
9- to show off their status, what differentiated rich women from the common was the patterns that were ofc the jewlery and wigs they wore. lower class women also wore jewlery, but it was ofc different than the those of the upper class.
8- this long dress that rich women wore, called the sheath, is a close-fitting dress that starts at either above the chest, covering it, or right under if it was sleeveless. sometimes, it was also worn with short sleeves.
12- men continued to wear the shendyt in the middle kingdom, but this time their shendyts were pleated. also, among upper class men, the triangular shendyt was popular. above their usual shendyts, they wore an ornamented apron that was held by a belt called the sash.
14- in the new kingdom, upper class women began to wear a type of dress called the kalasiris. it was made out of linen too, but woven in a way that made it transparent. it appeared in the middle kingdom but was more common in the new kingdom between the upper class women.
19- each profession in ancient egypt had different clothes and different styles. viziers for example wore a long shendyt that reaches their ankles that was often embroidered and fastened under the arms with sandals or slippers.
i think i can understand them wanting her to be an evil colonizer. i think if the archon quest was to go this way it would be cool. like they'd definitely make it so that the people of natlan revolt against her and win their freedom.
this person is actually so fucking weird, celebrating and wanting a character to be a colonizer in an indigenous nation is such a weird thing to do
i feel disgusted, if you support this kind of shitty behaviour I'm going to ask you to unfollow me.
7- as you can see in the picture below, this is an egyptian couple and both only wear the shendyt. though, the shendyt was only worn by lower class women. upper-class women wore a long dress that covered their chest.
