But that's kind of separate to the question of whether it's problematic. If it's problematic, it's problematic. And I think there's a strong argument that exoticism, as a trope, is pretty problematic. I don't think that means that it's wrong for people to write it, or enjoy it. But.

My mistake, then? I thought you were asking why they were sad that it was being labelled as such, not whether or not it should be labelled as such.

My mistake really, I probably should have said "Why do you think it's not problematic" in the first place

And what's so problematic about a work dealing with exoticism? A story exoticizing characters, yes, I agree it's problematic, it objectifies the person. But honestly I don't think there's anything wrong with stories dealing with the issue. It's something that actually happens in real life.

That's a fair point.

I don't know if it's representative of this book, and I would stand by the idea that a story that relies on portraying its characters as exotic for part of its appeal is problematic.
