#MDZS is a wuxia with some light high fantasy sprinkles

[tavina-writes]

briefly going hnnnnnnnng at people misrepresenting genre norms and tropes re: wuxia, but this is tumblr so I am merely going hnnnng and getting on with my day.

But god it does make me tired to behold these misconceptions with my eyeballs sometimes.

#a tragedy named leaf #honestly sometimes I think that missing the context for a bunch of stuff makes the MDZS morality debate weirder #I've seen so much meta about it but #MDZS is a wuxia with some light high fantasy sprinkles #it is genre bending but #things interact with the genre that they're bucking traditions with #and missing that context really does a number on some of the analyses i've seen
