I thought it was funny that people were throwing a fit over the P word being used in the subtitles despite the fact that there's absolutely no way the alternative was a better fit. The last Emperor really made himself a target of people's contempt, didn't he. Feels like he was so despised that the entire political instability of the setting is his fault. Don't think anyone would feel so willing to go after Jinshi if they still had trust in the rite of succession.

I would have just called him a perfectly normal heterosexual man.

Really the current Emperor is the weird one for not accepting Lishu's love.

I mean, it's still technically more accurate since it specifies the gender and more closely aligns with his preferred age-range, but yeah it's pretty dumb to get upset about that stuff when context gives all that already.

I don't think people would have cared about his predilections all that much if he'd been a strong ruler and sired many children. He simply lacked the qualities of a ruler and used the luxuries of his position to run away from his duties. It's more a criticism of a system that requires an unfit man to take the reigns and showing how much effort needs to be put into fixing things up after a bad ruler.

Yeah you're probably right. The resentment towards him being a coward momma's boy who practically handed over the position of Emperor to his mother stains the view of the emperor far more than him taking some child wives.
