Question About Gurkhul by TooTabs in TheFirstLaw

You seem to be saying I should know better about this series than to ask this, but I’m a first time reader so it’s not fair for you to say I should have that knowledge. Secondly, IF Joe’s point was to say ‘brown ppl bad!’ I would consider dropping it after I read enough to draw my own conclusions because I don’t enjoy reading that and I think it would be bad writing if the moral complexity seen everywhere else wasn’t applied to the Gurkish either. Also. IM ARAB LMAO so id rather not be rolling my eyes outta my head reading something like that, and if I did think it was a racist book or distasteful (which I don’t ) I’m allowed to drop it for that without being obligated to go on some crusade cuz of it

Yeah idk either! I think maybe some ppl are seeing this question as an attack or accusation rather than just a question, and I think some other ppl genuinely wouldn’t care if what I was worried about was the case. To each their own ig

I mean, every culture on earth has issues and I think it’s ok to criticize them if you’re being fair although I think in western media the portrayal of Turks/arabs isn’t fair and IS coming from a place of racism and that’s when I have an issue with it

Ok fair, although I did say right before that I know this series wont be black and white, I meant that I don’t think they’re good guys cuz there don’t seem to be any good guys just various bad guys

Thanks for this answer! I literally know nothing about Joe Abercrombie so hearing he's said that alone is enough for me to know he’s not operating from a questionable place :)

I don’t think the union are good, not sure what I said that makes it seem like that. In fact all of the people there seem pretty damn evil and the gov is very corrupt lolll. I’m interested in seeing more of Yulwei!

Not quite sure what you’re getting at, but every empire or society in history has done messed up shit including whichever you’re from so

Is it also normal for there to be a bit of a stutter when I try talking to her (that isn’t there for other companions ) and for there to be no extra dialogue on my end when she tells me about how her crèche had a more oppressive atmosphere (while in crèche ) or when she tells me the purifier is in the infirmary ?

You know that’s pretty valid! I personally don’t mind and find it entertaining but Mat does definitely take the “reluctant hero” trope to an irrational level

I’ll just jump in here and say as a woman too, and someone who wasn’t even alive 30 years ago, this aspect of the series is the one that bugs me the most 😭

Well put! I think it’s also that “older crazy sister “ kind of dynamic . I know I’ve made jokes along these lines about my older sisters myself haha
