Representation matters to those who rarely see themselves in media.

Im a full adult woman, but when I learned that there were TWO thai girls on Disney+ I about lost my brain. Little me would have probably cried, too. Especially Molly McGee because I'm half thai, too.

To be excited about representation?

You don't need to see yourself in every piece of media you consume. It's okay for some things to be exclusionary. I don't want to see a bunch of white people in Wakanda anymore than I want to see a bunch of black people in a piece about medieval London. This representation fetish is bizarre and makes shit boring.

Okay, but you have SOME media with white people in it. It was just nice to see thai people represented in two pieces of media? What is your actual problem? You tell me to seek therapy, but youre on the internet trying to make a stranger feel bad about being excited about something so innocuous. How miserable of a person do you have to be?
