ORRR people can actually criticize something and continue to read it even if they dislike it? Jesus, god forbid someone has a negative opinion. You're one of those people who go " Cartoons are FOR KIDS, it doesn't matter if its badly written" God forbid, some people have other expectations well within their rights considering the author clearly hinted it....
ORRR people can actually criticize a piece without criticizing the readers.
If you don't get the point that I am talking to shamers, you are either dishonest or not very bright.
Stop acting as people who post condescending, lectures on people who are enjoying the story or demanding explanations are giving 'criticism'
What shamers have in common: the immaturity to choose something that they know they can't like it and know that they will have an audience that will be cheering on something they don't like and they can't respect that. They need to put others down, usually and always with lecturing and arrogant posts shaming people.
I don't like incest stories. If I ever read an incest story just because it;s popular --- because that's why these shamers read POTN-- they know it's a rape plot story -- I would never write assholes posts asking the readers why they like or read or enjoy or ship or even more diss my own set of morality to put them down;
This is not criticism. This is a lack of respect, lack of maturity and shamers have to be talked back because they give a bad name to people who actually have mature opinions and criticism.
And if you are going to play dumb that you don't know which post or what a shamer is, please come back when you do.
Depends. Some people who are so called condescending actually still have point of criticism in their posts. No I feel questioning others' opinions is ok to do. It should definitely be done in a better way but I don't feel that questioning other's opinions is a no no. I mean you're making a lot of assumptions to what the "shamers" mean or intended. Also your original post asked how people could possibly expect anything different from this story BUT the thing is the author did hint at a turning point for it...such as Seungho's backstory or his change in behavior. Th author has been hinting at this since S1 and then turned back around and said SIKE, he gonna abuse him even more, so I could make this longer. I get maybe making a post about how shamers are bad and blah blah blah but it seems more like an attack on anybody who has a different expectation for the story. You never know....the author can do something different for it.
I'm really curious .... can really anyone who has at least a bit of average deduction intelligence, even if the excuse would be that they are completely new to Yaoi and its tropes ... can anyone with a straight face say that they thought POTN was supposed to be a social justice instead of what so clearly is? A rape plot trope Yaoi.
I mean, seriously. Which of the dozens of red flags, author aggressive selling of romantic art promoting the ship, all the clichés, etc, imagine getting to 76 chapters of POTN and then going ... oh, I wonder when the author will make this story a social construct of how real life relationships should be. Let me stick around some more because I still see in there somewhere ....
People, who the fuck do you think you are fooling? It's like watching porn and trying to convince other people that you are only watching it because of the acting is good and you are still waiting for the actual drama to start.
Give us a break, morality police of adult fiction. You look silly standing there with your megaphone preaching about the horrors of the story you can't give up.
