White girl goes let’s just ask them (colonial Brit House of Lords) nicely to not attack China, Griffin immediately: “nice comes from the Latin word for stupid, we do not want to be nice” AHAH (Latin: ignorant/not knowing to Old French: weak/clumsy/silly to English).

I stand by this: I’m kind, but I’ve never been called nice and I don’t rly like the word😅🤪 It means no backbone.

I’ve seen so many reviews complaining abt the footnotes in this book and how it’s a sign of poor writing and now I finally have proof that Kuang did it intentionally ahhhh- she added a footnote abt how footnotes are inherently racist/suppress language bc they were used way more in translations into English to the point that you loose the intended rhythm and meaning of the original work. READ CRITICALLY bruh

Omg the white savior girl finally realized she’s a white savior and then still managed to make it abt herself LMAO

Thank god, I wanted to kill him too🙄
