Ah, the hijab explanation. I’ve been waiting for this one! Turn it up!

Hijab can be a complicated thing. I don’t say this to judge anyone for the way they practice it, I personally have had my struggles with it and wore it in the “cavalier” way Samirah is described to be wearing it. That said, there is no rhyme or reason to who Samirah lets see her hair. One day she’s out in public with it on, the next her hair is out. Yes, there are women who do this but you can’t have that and leave it there. You need to address how she feels about that, people don’t wear or not wear hijab on a spur of the moment decision, or on whims. We need to see her feelings, beyond just a “I wear it when I want to, or when I feel like I have to.” “She sees the fallen warriors as her kin” that’s… not how it works at all? There’s a huge place full of people she maybe is best friends with, maybe is acquaintances with, or maybe is a stranger to, and she “sees them as her kin” just because.. they’re fallen warriors? Also, I remember Samirah being in public with her hair out, and then she sees Amir or her grandparents and quickly rushes to put it on, sending the message that they force her to wear it. While forced hijab does happen and is a problem you can’t be so.. cavalier about it. You just toss that line in and pretend it’s natural. Also, by making your one muslim character do that, the one muslim character in prominent children’s media, you’re sending the message that hijab is forced upon women most of the time which is.. not true.

Also, in the past, in many of the shows that feature a hijabi, there is always always always a hair reveal scene. She will take it off a sign of “love” for her boyfriend, show her guy friends to show she sees them as brothers, or even it will fall off her head if nothing else. It’s always explained away with some bullshit like “I only take it off in front of people I care about” that’s not how it works at all! Nobody picks and chooses who to show their hair to. It just feels so intrusive, not only as a muslim, but also as a woman. If a woman has decided that she doesn’t want to show a certain part of her, why do you find it so difficult to just.. leave it be at that? Why is it so difficult for you to accept and realise that some find empowerment in modesty? Or that they would like to adhere to a religious practice? Is it so necessary to take that away, even if it’s from a character? Is it so necessary for the audience to know what her hair looks like? It’s just so clearly fetishizing… It’s so telling to me that, despite it being… relatively well known that hijabi women hide their hair from men they’re not related to, you decided to ignore that and went for the ‘convenient’ route, the one that allowed you to see and depict her hair. And for that very reason, it’s really not progressive at all to have a hijabi character whose hair you can see. Yes there are a lot of different ways to practice hijab, and a lot of different ways that muslim women practice it. But do you know who has a right to talk about that and tell those stories? Muslim women. Women who used to, are planning on, or currently practice hijab. If you want to portray a hijabi character, leave her hair alone.

[I also find a strange sense of irony in the “camouflaging her in times of need” line, like. To many hijabis the point is to hide their hair, and you took that away, but when it came to plot-relevance, you decide that the hijab would be able to hide her from the eyes of others.. okay.]

hello. i haven't been on here for a while but i just wanted to say i absolutely, wholeheartedly stand with palestine. i always have and always will. palestine has been colonized by israel for 75 years. since the first nakba of 1948 they have been subjected to ethnic cleansing, settler colonialism and apartheid. NOTHING was unprovoked, hamas was formed in retaliation to the settler colony state of israel and its crimes against palestinians. and for a month now, israel has been carrying out a genocide of palestinians by carpet bombing the city of gaza. targeting schools, churches, mosques, residential buildings, hospitals and refugee camps. over 10,000 palestinians have been killed, 4,000 of them children. now is the time. speak up, raise your voice, follow palestinian journalists, broadcast what they are broadcasting, protest, boycott, follow BDS. you cannot stand by and watch a genocide happen.

I’m reading Spider-man 2099 (1992) and boy the itsv writers were very lucky to make the evil company Alchemax in the first movie, considering how vital they are to Miguel’s backstory.
