Same, especially when people/ characters refer the uke as the female/ mother in the relationship but I still continued the story and never regretted it, this story does get better however the first 2 volumes are bit boring, I'd say skim read it ╮(￣▽￣)╭ and start from vol3.
It's because I so many Asian language wife or mom words not only uses for females. So yes they say themselves mom but not every mom is a woman.
Oh, thank you for explaining it :)
I'm an asian gay man. In my personal life, feminine terms like "girlfriend" "wife" "mom" are too often used to degrade a guy, to mock gay couples, and to enforce gender stereotype on gay people in general. So i have too many negative associations with those words. Aside from that, i do think that authors should stop normalizing using those words when depicting gay relationship because it does encourage gender normativity and role stereotype in some ways.
Everyone keeps recommending this to me but i couldn't even finish chapter 1 because the author made the MC call himself a "housewife"... one of my biggest pet peeves :(
