Palestinian author from Gaza, Hiba Abu Nada, wrote on Facebook days before she was killed by an Israeli strike:
نحن في الأعلى نبني مدينة ثانية، أطباء بلا مرضى ولا دماء، أساتذة بلا ازدحام وصراخ على الطلبة، عائلات جديدة بلا آلام ولا حزن، وصحفيون يصورون الجنة، وشعراء يكتبون في الحب الأبدي، كلهم من غزة كلهم. في الجنة توجد غزة جديدة بلا حصار تتشكل الآن.
Translation:
We, high above in the skies, are building another city filled with doctors without patients or blood, teachers who aren't yelling at students in overcrowded classrooms, there are new families without pain or sorrow, there are journalists capturing heaven, and poets writing about eternal love - all of them are from Gaza, all of them. In heaven, there is a new Gaza without siege forming now.

I remember discussing Tintin casting choices with a friend from Germany and remarked how it was odd he often has an English accent in adaptations rather than a Belgian one, and my friend just replied "that's because Tintin gives incredibly strong English boy energy (derogatory)"
Here in the UK there's a lot of weird classism tied into accents. Today accent diversity and representation in broadcasting is actively pursued but in Tintin's time there certainly was a preferred accent to have.
imagine this exchange happens between pages 28-29 in The Crab with the Golden Claws

I don’t have time to draw it right now but while driving home from the winco I saw a happy mustached man pedaling a bike, towing a cart built to look like a chariot, inside of which stood what I can only imagine was his completely expressionless 13 year old in a makeshift corinthian helmet

I'm just feeling so sensitive lately. I want to be held. And taken care of. And be able to shut my brain off.
