I watched somewhere that Raya's whole "Dragon Nerd" thing was kinda demeaning(?) towards the sanctity of Dragons in SEA culture and while I do agree with that to some degree... I personally think they also went too tame with Raya's whole "Dragon nerd" thing

Raya was only nerd enough to plot dump, but if someone was truly a "Dragon nerd" then they should have really went harder with it. Made her absolutely fanatical about it. To the point where she freaks out other characters about it. We were robbed of adorkable nerd fighter Raya and I'm a little sad about it

(Also, this post was inspired by Xiran's video where a group of SEA people assembled to talk about Raya... And also the character of Elrand from "Campfire Cooking in another world with my absurd skill". Just see what I mean here:

THIS is what I'm looking for in a "nerd" character.

Granted, this is unholy levels of obsession from a single character, but I LIVE for this kind of character. It gives them life and animation!)

#I identify with Elrand a lot actually he's my spirit animal #Looking at him is like looking into a mirror actually I've done every single one of these lmfao #Anyways not everyone interacts with their interests in the same way so honestly it's not that big of a deal #Perhaps it's just silly me for hoping that I'd see a nerdy SEA girlie on the big screen #campfire cooking in another world with my absurd skill #tondemo skill de isekai hourou meshi #tondemo skill spoilers #Idk the tags for that anime lol #raya and the last dragon #mun rambles
