   Just got told off by somebody in the romance novel community for using the phrase "reverse harem" bc it's "deeply orientalist and stupid“ 😬

   How we feeling about this, #cDrama gang?

     @ludovica *looks at her profile. Sees that she lives in the US.* Ok that explains everything lol.
     Look, most folks in Asia won't care a whit. We admit that we had harems, we watch anime and know that term. Don't let it get you down. Most #CDrama folks are level headed and not as reactive. Enjoy your reverse harems! lol

     @ludovica well if one wants to be offended by something one will find it 😜 We have a saying in Malaysia - "Rileks je la, bro!" (Bro, just relax)
     That's what I will tell people who get upset about these things 😉
