"Kumiko Mendl, artistic director of New Earth, said the musical “normalises harmful narratives in which south-east Asian women are fetishised and hypersexualised. The misogyny is baked into the piece.”

Um, yes, that's the point. The show's perspective Is that this is bad.

But the show also exploits a race of stereotypes to tell its story unquestioningly, thus doing the thing you claim it’s condemning. Good for Kumiko to take this stand.

Not at all. There is a complex range of characters on stage and attitudes on stage. I see people.

What exactly is the complex range of East Asian characters we see, aside from virgins, whores, and pimps?
