    Also watched Raya and the Last Dragon and I think we need to come up with a name for this genre that is basically Avatar: the Last Airbender reduxes. It’s like half of all YA fantasy published in the last few years anyway

    "This thing is thematically like this thing"

    is totally, 100% equals to

    "This thing is thematically like this thing because it takes place in Asian themed world"

      By extension, Twitter contorts it into:

      "I see Asian people in one piece of media and in another piece of media, which means that those things are equal. As a cultural critic that focuses on media criticism, I see similarities only based on race and on nothing else. Raya and Avatar are the same because they contain Asian people."

      Which is absurd
