Yikes, just yikes

Massa has clearly shown that's she's treated as a larper, Maya on the other hand...

I think you should take a closer look at how Maya is treated when talking about race. To begin with she's always made fun of Mymy, the VOC larper, as being "Belgian", even though she's portrayed as a SEAmonkey living in some jungle. Coco and Vera also to her as a "Belgian", and Maya always tries to correct the situation by mentioning she's from Brabant (without denying her being "Belgian", she acknowledges that but at least she's from the Dutch **half**, right?). Am I the only one who sees the subtext here? Just replace everything said about Belgium, a political correct country to have some banter with as the Netherlands, with Indonesia, a country which I guess if you trash talk in the Netherlands will get you in trouble. There's zero change Massa explores anything regarding this topic albeit, simply because he's a pussy too scared of pissing off his national audience doe all of this does make me think he's at least a bit keyed as he lets the idea of Maya the "Belgian" never being treated as (a proper) Dutch linger without repercussion
