They use our desires for representation and protagonism in the form of entertainment and cash machines and in the end, we do not see ourselves, because they know nothing about our people (who were not part of this construction), as they always appropriate our culture.
Yara Flor not only brings the stereotype but also the discussion of who will play, women who are quoted by the stereotype but have never lived our lives, they don't know our villages, they don't know what real heroines are.
"mix" our gods with the culture of others and we are forced to silence ourselves?! They disrespect the caipora, you can't think you're right about our gods, our beliefs, Yara does that in the HQ.
They demonized the figure and essence of a guardian of the forest, that's not right, they didn't do the least. I'm disappointed in this bigotry, we're not pop culture, don't make us entertainment-friendly, we are for real, with even more amazing real stories.
as I said to @munihin_ who is this Yara Flor near the Indian Krinça
I want to see real indigenous women, women who know our pain, who understand our resistance, memory, our belief. This is no mess, no leader or hero will ever be greater than our beliefs.
Yara Flor is nothing but the white ego talking. @DCComics
