...This is probably an unfair poll on Tumblr, but then so it would be on Weibo. :,D DMBJ doesn't look like much if you look it up here, but like.. you don't get this many (past and planned) adaptations without a MASSIVE fanbase to demand them.

Gahh. Hate it when I vote on a poll, give my answer, only for reading comprehension to kick in with like a half a second lag, AFTER I already clicked the wrong button.

Scotland has created an official tartan for Scottish Muslims: blue for the Scottish flag, green for Islam, w/ five white lines representing the five pillars of Islam, six gold lines representing the six articles of faith, and a black square representing the Holy Kabah. 

If you’re not Scottish, you might not know how big of a deal this is. Quoting Attire’s Mind: “This is a signal that they are not only just a full part of Scotland now, but family. Clans, as defined by tartans, are large scale families, and the totality of them encompass the family of the Scottish people. “

Why are feet so damn... what even is the right word? Polarising? People are either wildly disgusted OR turned on by them in a way they aren't usually by any other on-sexual bodypart.

I think they look nice and I like drawing them, and one character giving the other a foot massage sounds like some peak fluff fodder... until you do actually find a rare fic where it happens aaaaand now the foot is in someone's mouth.

Like, more power to the author, just not what I was looking for. Oh well.

I love stories where the protagonist is just some guy. His ass is not a mythical hero he's just a guy. Trying so hard. Wants to go home. Really not handling anything as well as he'd like to be

Here's a question I keep puzzling about - what requirements would you set for a book for it to count as 'diverse'?

This sounds like a straightforward thing, but people seem to mean different things when talking about 'diverse' media. For some it's more about the contents, for some it's about the identity of the author.

Clearest cut case of course is if the author is from a racial or sexual minority, writing about characters from sexual or racial minorities.

...But this would exclude straight (or 'straight') authors writing about queer characters, which, depending on where you live in the world, can still be very much a risky thing to do.

Or how do you categorise a queer author writing a straight story? Is A Room With a View diverse?

(Maybe not - Forster wasn't exactly openly out at the time, or any time during his life and unlike Maurice this book is not about being gay. But HE still WAS very much gay, which coloured all his experiences, so maybe yes? Do you see my problem here?)

Or an author from a racial minority writing a story with a mostly white cast? Do you count The Count of Monte Cristo as a diverse read?

(This one is a more definite yes in my opinion because it's not like Dumas could just hide his skin colour, he had to openly exist as a mixed race person in 19th century France.)

My confusion only grows when someone uses the term as just anything that doesn't have a fully white cast, regardless of background or origin. This post was partially brought to you by someone referring to anime as diverse. Not anime with gay or non-Japanese characters, just. Anime in general. Because the characters are not white. Which I guess matters so much in a medium produced in Japan, where most of the stories are set in Japan and feature a full cast of Japanese characters.
