everytime i have to read about how 'bryke totally was sooo good at buddhism and hinduism and eastern philosophy guys' i think about how they named the pet bison of the main character Appa, which is the Tamil or-depending on how you transliterate it-Korean word for father while pronouncing the word incorrectly as 'Aapa' which is an Urdu term for older sister.

like if you can't be bothered to look up how to pronounce the words from the languages you are using
then how progressive really are you
like bryke never was progressive to me
especially if you're south asian it becomes super clear that they had a certain view of asians and had no intention of respect
