eid_ka_chanddhobikikutti requested that I crosspost this, so here we are. Hello!Hey, Inception Fandom. Let's talk about Yusuf for a minute.
To be blunt: fandom is taking the only brown character, one of only two characters of color (Saito gets better treatment but not by a lot), and turning him into a caricature. Warping and dismissing his character when its not ignoring him entirely.
Which, just. No. No. We can do better than this.
It’s an easy fix - we get about the same amount of information for him as we do for Arthur and fandom has shown that is plenty. Let’s sit down and go through it.
