People ship it because the author has posted NSFW of them on weibo/lofter and has discussed how this was intended to be a BL before m/m comic censorship in China
and? that makes it even worse, right? just bcs the author once intended it to be a BL doesn't mean it's an enough reason for people to ship it. It all goes down to the morals of the readers at this point.
I was more responding to you saying readers are projecting. Like, I don’t have any stakes in this but it’s not really projecting if the author is like blatantly posting and writing it this way
I was pointing out those readers who solely ship it (wolf and the kid). There's really a lot of them. As I've said, as far I don't wanna judge others just bcs of their ships, this wolf guy x potato is not it.
It goes both ways thou, right? Being a responsible reader and knowing where one should draw the line. Reading and enjoying an author's work is great but having to conform on it just bcs the author's blatantly posting and writing this way is another topic.
some of y'all really ship wolf guy and POTATO??? wtaf?? If you think that it's okay bcs "they're not blood related" then pls do us a favor and gtfo bcs that shit is straight-up disgusting. This isn't even tagged as shounen-ai.
As far as I don't want to judge people based on their shipping shenanigans, there should be limits to it too. Y'all just fcking projecting at this point; if you ship it, you're prolly a fcking creep jfc
