Yeah, and it's bizarre that it's the same argument that was in the BBC Sherlock fandom, but there is was John and Sherlock, so two white guys, but with Joe being POC and Muslim, you know, there's another (perhaps more valid?) element to it.
What sort of floors me is that I will never have the kind of sex (anal penetrative sex) that is being debated. Imagine choosing that hill to die on (and to hate on).
That said, I did appreciate some of the comments re: Bottom Joe, for example, whose POV is the scene through (an interesting question and one which made me question my defaults). Who gets a full range of emotions, who gets to be vulnerable and weak. And I think I understand the idea of 'talking over POC voices' better and why there can't be Muslim vampires. (One of my current WIP faves is Joe as vampire but he isn't specified as Muslim in the fic) Or the issue of Muslims and magic and that unless it's a world where everyone practices magic (e.g., Harry Potter), then Muslims wouldn't be a part of it.
