Things we know happen in Wildmount:
- Fathers keeping their daughters in cages
- Sisters tearing each other’s faces off and sending assassins after each other
- Necromancy
- Vampirism
- Mothers selling their angel sons into slavery
- Whatever kind of shit happens where people like Anna Ripley come from
- Speaking of Ripley, human-centric racism, anyone?
Things that apparently destroy our suspense of disbelief:
- A father who may or may not have had his son’s significant other killed, be it for homophobic or classist or entirely different reasons
That’s not to say that the Taryon discourse is entirely unfounded, and there are important points to be made there, but the existence of homophobia in a place that so far has been pretty explicitly described as extremely fucked up is pretty low on the list of things possibly wrong with Taryon’s backstory.
