Episode 110: Killian Lu with Michelle and Ryan Pt 2

Goblin Lore Podcast

Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to the Goblin Lore Podcast! Last week's episode was part one inspired by the story of Killian Lu that had been alluded to so far and drew heavily on two very important threads about this (here and here) especially as it leans into harmful stereotypes. This is part two of this important discussion led by Michelle (welcome back friend!) and Ryan (fist time guest!). In pt 1 of our conversation with them we focused on the story of Killian so far, the Myth of the Model Minority, as well as the idea of Tiger Parenting. A lot of what is discussed then and again today also draws heavily from this video by Eugene Yang on Anti-Asian Hate. Part 2 picks up the conversation with what this representation means and hope for where things can go.

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!
