Hi,

I'm sorry if I offended either of you. The reason I chose Kitsune, from Japanese, was because I felt that the Japanese side has less "drastic" images of foxes. It brings out more things I can relate in my story, than the Korean view on foxes. They have more stories and more "references" I could use. I decided to do a little play on names, so when I bring out more of the Japanese culture, people could know where it came from. I didn't want to be limited to a fox that ate the livers of humans, thus brings up my next point.

The reason I chose The Fox Sister, even though it is grotesque at certain times, was because I grew up with that story. Since I'm Half Korean and Half Chinese, that story has stayed with me for a long time. I do believe that they have different cultures, but how you said that to me was kinda rude.

Is it really that racist to give an Asian character a name from another Asian culture? I personally think that just means the person is open to new things. It means they're open to new cultures, for example, if they changed Mulan's name to Ahri does that really affect the story/person that much?

Thanks for reading.
