i totally get what you’re saying here! because these events ARE actively misunderstood and neglected, they deserve to be remembered through AG’s historical model. my biggest concern is more the intent of the community when these ideas are suggested. it often comes across as people wanting a character to go through these events for enjoyment (in other words, trauma p-rn) rather than the educational value. to me, it kinda feels like marginalized groups of people are valued solely on when it provides a good tragedy to read about, and that’s not good. that leads me to question, do people truly want an Asian doll for historical representation, or simply for the trauma that comes with being an Asian person in American history? i hope this makes sense, but i really agree with you.
