yk it is a certain type of anger when the only chinese character w a non-mandarin name is being mocked for his name. i can only imagine the anger canto players have right know, knowing that a large portion of them are in the U.S.

#gi #sinophobia cw #i know i mostly hyphenate his name for clarity but god part of me wants to take that away and force people to recognize his name as it is!!!#and it makes me so sad and angry that we have to see this happen all the time!#the thing is! even w racist players making fun of chngyun’s name it wasn’t like he was the only chinese character!!#he lives in a region full of cgaracters with chinese names!!!!!#and we can at least find some solace in that!#but you can’t do that w mingming bc he’s the only one w a non-mandarin name #and again: respectability politics doesn’t and will never work #but i also know that if he were using any other dialect that was lesser known #we’d be dealing w even more mf’s making jokes abt how they didn’t even know that dialect existed #(even now though i still see people not understanding or respecting canto)#f criti
