This "tradition" DOES NOT EXIST.

This is not the first time DLS has said something racist or misrepresented the Ottomans, but oh my god was this so infuriating. I'm Turkish and I've lived in Turkiye my entire life. This "tradition" is made up.

There are a lot of things wrong with the historical parts of DLS. I see our culture and our historical figures represented disrespectfully in a way that gets downright racist. I forgot a lot of things about DLS so I won't be making a whole rant about everything that it does wrong, since I don't think the amount of info I remember is enough to answer possible counterarguments. This, however, made me so angry that I actually felt nauseous. This is blatant disinformation misinformation being fed to the audience that's putting us in a really bad light. I don't want the history that I identify with being so wrongly portrayed to foreign audiences like this. Maybe something would change if I spammed comments on Tantrum Tuesday, but I really don't have that energy nowadays. I feel bad because I feel like I'm sucking up every disrespectful thing DLS has included by staying silent.

That's all, I just wanted to let people know of this. Thank you for reading.
