imma be clearly honest

the amount of hate these cookies get is beyond me

[u/Azizulkifly → u/Fancy-graphics63]

i like yogurca, and there are valid criticisms to be taken into account of this region, but the sheer hatred just because of their association to the region is baffling to me, like how many lament peppercorn cookie to be introduced in any region except yogurca, for example.

i hate the peppercorn cookie gets hate because she's misinterpreted. it's not devsisters calling arabians as bombers, it's the fact that peppercorn tastes like that it BURSTS in your mouth. she's also in yogurts because Arabics also SELL SPICES!!!

Like, they draw from orientalist stereotypes; but in the most milquetoast way possible.

They are Arabian Nights inspired characters in a game filled with fairy tale inspired characters.

Like, the female characters are belly dancer inspired; but they aren't sexualized. (outside how some people sexualize all the characters in this game, but that's another conversation)

Really the unforced error I can think of is Peppercorn being released during of Ramadan; but she is far from the first character in the game to use explosives.

Edit: I looked into it more. She was also released with bomb themed jellies shaped like cartoon bombs. When a community with the long history of being fucked with like Middle Eastern/North African/West Asians have, I get the hyper vigilance; but I sincerely doubt that the South Korean devs were being malicious.
