Lol, however we love in a heteronormative world where identifying as LGBTQ+ is still frowned upon and rights are still debated, with laws in 2024 threatening death penalties and imprisonment.
So it may seem like a frivolous comment to you and the other commenters, but there's a whole historical context of erasure of LGBQT+ identities that you all seem to be missing.
Yeah. Also, it feels more like male lead is a straight who's being forced to turn gay under FL's writing than our author is forcing him to turn into a straight man. Because in the ch.0, bro would even consider dating his sister if she's wasn't his biological sister since he is acting bashful than disgusted
"how hard is it to not make an originally gay male lead date a girl..."
Well then how hard is it to not make an originally straight male lead date a man??? (
A lot of BLS do this eg: scum system where Luo binge was og straight)
The irony...
The rule must go both ways
