    Meme aside, it’s not that big a deal. East Asia gets a very mixed representation in western media, but it’s still better than the (effectively) no representation that is typical of SEA (bar like one or two countries).

    Inclusion of things like the Keris and races like the Wayang are like a huge breath of fresh air, especially when “Eastern” typically manifests as one of three countries.

    I’m holding out hope that a fantasy setting does an interpretation of a toyol or pontianak though.
