Most English collections ommit in the land of the Soviets and in the Congo. The first is just bad quality wise (and anticommunist) and the second super racist.
Later ones can be quite racist still but the stories get better.
And the racism gets, I guess more you'd say nuanced, like stereotyped first nations in America, but clearly showing white settlers screwing them over.
Or depicting the Chinese people both stereotypically but as people worthy of respect and friendship (pretty much most cultures get this).
also was Tintin always getting kidnapped/tied up and stuff? i think it was one of many things that reinforced the foundations of kink in my developing brain
damn. you have basically triggered the fact that i was really, really mostly just horny reading Tintin. lol.
i was like 14 so it really makes sense now. my brain is weird i was into kink (like bondage etc) long before being attracted to anyone so i sought it out in any media
i used to read Tintin as a kid (they had all the books at my library)
really wish this page was real it would have helped so much
All the books?
yeah pretty sure even the super racist ones
