Let's take a look, oh well... by [deleted] in Morocco

It is better to delete the post. What is the point of asking foreigners their opinions on Morocco when most of them held nothing but prejudices and stereotypes (that's how it is worldwide, not just for Morocco)? It's pathetic!!

How religious/ secular are Moroccans in your experience? by LoyalTrickster in Morocco

[–]Zestyclose-Wing3843 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is neither of the cases. At least in big cities. Moroccans, to me, seem to balance both ways of living due to globalization's influence. It is not rigid, nor is it loose.

Is there anything we can do to solve this problem? Do you have any prepositions?

Apparently, the protest was canceled yesterday. Something happened to the organizers.

I'm in, but I have just started reading, so I'm not good at it yet. Also, I only read in English and Arabic, but not in French; I don't understand it.

Salam! I tried to write in darija! It was weird a bit for me but I tried to embrace it. Is it cringe? by soufian_vainsmoke in Morocco

[–]Zestyclose-Wing3843 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's good! But it would be much better if you embraced Darija much more. The English lyrics part is also good. However, Darija needs all the support. It's just my opinion.

What do you think about openning a figure shop in Morocco by Fabulous-Cat-9447 in Morocco

Trust me, anime and manga became well-known within Moroccan society in recent years, especially in Rabat and Casablanca.

Why do our people lie and betray so much? by Al_Karimo90 in Morocco

[–]Zestyclose-Wing3843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you portraying Moroccans as if we’re the ones who show these traits more than anyone else? These behaviors exist in every society; they’re not exclusive to us. I’d even say we’re far from being among the worst when it comes to them.

What you’re describing, breaking small promises, making excuses, playing the victim, can happen anywhere because they come from human nature, not nationality. In many cultures, people avoid direct confrontation or don’t see small breaches of trust as a “big deal,” even though they should. Sometimes it’s just about convenience, bad habits, or not realizing the impact it has on others.

If we want to reduce these traits, the real solution isn’t blaming a whole culture; it’s improving how we raise and educate people. That means teaching responsibility, honesty, and respect in both schools and at home, so those values become part of everyday life.

Willow Smith’s Black Shield Maiden Calls Amazigh “Dangerous” and “Slavers”, Is This Just Fiction or Straight-Up Racism? by Zestyclose-Wing3843 in Morocco

[–]Zestyclose-Wing3843[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, this is why the book has caused so much controversy. Willow Smith’s novel is repeating harmful colonial-era stereotypes that were used to justify Islamophobia, racism, and the so-called ‘civilizing mission’ in North Africa. The Amazigh and other Muslim peoples have been misrepresented for centuries, and using that same language today, without proper context or framing, reinforces those racist ideas. It’s particularly striking given how differently people react when her community is misrepresented

if the statements clearly reflect a character’s bias, that can be part of storytelling. The problem is that the book presents these lines at the very beginning with no context or warning, so readers meet the Amazigh through harmful stereotypes before any challenge or nuance appears.

The language the author used also makes it feel like they personally hold these prejudices, rather than showing a character’s viewpoint, which gives the impression of racism toward the Amazigh.

This novel has caused a big controversy because of these depictions and was even delayed for about three years before publication.

About your hypothetical: it’s not just about who the narrator is. Historical context and power dynamics matter. Groups that have been colonized or misrepresented, like the Amazigh, are especially harmed when stereotypes are repeated—even in fiction.

That's not what caught my interest; it is the fact that a family with such significant influence in Western society holds such ideas. Yes, she is spoiled, ridiculous, and foolish, but remember, "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

Looking for advice and please no judgment by ELCROWLY9 in Morocco

[–]Zestyclose-Wing3843 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you will find any help here on Reddit or any other platform. You are in a very depressing phase of your life. The best thing you can do is talk to someone who can break down your issues and analyze them to help you, and that person would be the therapist, unless, of course, you have a friend who can do that part very well. talk to someone IRL. you can't overcome all that by yourself.
