Do you ask this question to every christian or jewish queer person too or is just something you ask to muslim queer people ?

What the fuck does Europe have anything to with what I just said ?? I'm not even European, I'm American. Comment your racist anti immigration nonsense somewhere else. If a series is racist to my culture and blasphemous to my religion, I'm going to say something. I have every right to complain if something is offensive to me.

Both can be true at the same time. We can be disturbed by the romanticization of iblis while continuously speaking up about the muslims suffering worldwide from genocide.

Is crazy. These days people throw their morals out the window because of their favorite actors and actresses apparently.

My original comments were alot meaner but I decided to be the bigger person and not post it. If people keep testing my patience I will.

I can't believe that I have to say this. If your not south asian, north african or middle eastern, it's not your call to make on whether this series is racist or not. Stop telling us how we should feel. For those people who are south asian, north african or middle eastern that are justifying this, just know that you are enabling this behavior by letting the South Korean industry continuously create insensitive media without any consequences. We shouldn't have to tolerate jokes, stereotypes and mockery made at our expense. For those, who aren't aware the whole arabian nights concept is consider orientalist. It's an ignorant European perspective on the middle east, north africa and south asia. How would you feel if you got your culture mixed up with a completely different culture and considered some type of exotic mysterious fantasy by white people. Now, for the religious aspect. To the people calling me a fake muslim, firstly fuck you. I'm not any less muslim just cause I'm lesbian. I have every right to criticize this drama for being offensive towards my religion. People have already explained it in this comment section. Essentially, Iblis is the islamic term for satan. It's like if Lucifer was portrayed as love interest that is hiding his real identity from the female lead while pretending to being a genie that grants wishes. Try to understand that Iblis is considered humanity's number one villain in our religion. So yes, this drama is problematic and no I will not be gaslit and intimidated from voicing my criticisms. I stand by my original statements. This drama should have been scrapped.

100 %, the audacity of netflix is astonishing. It's insane how they chose to cancel the series and not apologize.

Yes, it's like they forgot that outside of their country they are considered a poc person just like the rest of us. Yet, they continue to act so arrogant purposefully without any shame. They've continuously made the same mistakes over and over again regardless of how many times people have tried to educate them. It's almost like they don't want to educate themselves at all. I saw someone on twitter describing south koreans as the white people of asia and I think it's a pretty fitting comparison.

Right as if the racism wasn't enough, they also had to choose iblis as the name. 💀

Smh, what kind of reaction were those writers expecting truly. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Deflecting with homophobia is easy especially when you have no argument to say back. Just know, you are speaking for nobody when you are poorly justifying racist and stereotypical series like this one.

Your resorting to homophobia because you have no proper response. This series is trash. If you want to defend garbage this badly, I don't know what to say.

I am mad because you spoke for all of us by saying we all don't mind stereotypes which isn't true. You are free to say that you don't care and I would have kept quiet and said nothing. Though, to be honest how are you as a pakistani okay with orientalism ?? When it comes to religion, again I never suggested you weren't properly practicing. All I said was, why would you put yourself so low and let people make these types of racist jokes at your expense.

GL and that's a women. I hate this drama for many reasons. Religion aside, I don't like orientalism idiot. Why should I be okay with racism ?

We are offended, this person doesn't speak for us.

I am muslim and Indian. I have every right to say something. Your deflecting because I'm right. Such a shallow response based on the dramas I watch. Hope one day, you learn to appreciate your own culture.

Maybe you have such low self esteem and inferiority complex. The rest of us have some self respect that we aren't going to let nonsense like this slide by. In the year of 2025, concepts like this should never be made. For the record, I have seen arabs, muslims and south asians offended.

Wtf is this trash ? This series should have never been made. The glazing in the comments section is insane. If you aren't religious then you should definitely be disturbed by the racism that is being portrayed. Never in my life, did I think I would see people defending blatant orientalism.

Omg, I'm so happy ! I'm glad it works for you. ❤️

Iqiyi isn't available in Singapore. Could you try connecting to USA and see if that works.
