Talia al Ghul used to be one of if not the best pacifistic and kind portrayals of an Arab woman in modern western media (in my experience, at least) and all it took was one comic run to take that away from us Arab women btw.
why do I think this? because Talia is KIND. Talia is COMPASSIONATE. Talia is truly the heart of the LOA, even if she doesn’t want to be. Not just the LOA, she is RA’S heart. He loves her dearly—the title would only make sense for her.
if u ever compare brutalia, a ship that has been subjected to racism and hatred for no reason, to b*tj*kes, a ship that is genuinely toxic and horrid, just remember that you are perpetuating racism against Arabs.
@spinninggaround
it’s gross and dehumanizing and the fact that people do not see that even in a year as far along as 2024 truly infuriates me. they will say “we care about Arabs” and then dehumanize our portrayals in media and make us constantly look bad, and then say it is not racist.
this is why I am so attached to Talia (in her OG personality, m*rrison Talia die in a fire) bc she is very much a positive depiction of an arab woman who is good and has a beautiful heart.
i don’t rly think representation in media achieves much but its funny how there are so few arabs in western media beyond terrorist/villain roles. for kids, there arent arab american girl dolls, barbies, cartoons. and no, a racially ambiguous character with a hijab doesn’t count
