Is it just me?

Or am I getting real tired of people policing red flag/green flag tops in BL? Like, I've read some popular ones and have differing opinions on them. Sometimes I agree, and sometimes I don't. But going to read a new BL and seeing people label them so easily kind of undermines the author's effort to characterize complex relationships, no? I'm not saying examples specifically because I know that those very people will come at my throat about them, but I find it iffy, especially when I think about what these people think about people irl.

    Sometimes red flag people really are red flags but this is an illegal site so I don’t see how people think they have a higher moral ground for refusing to read something and then writing comments about it. And yes sometimes it’s not so black and white and it’s there is character development and those same people will still bitch and whine instead of moving on

    i agree with you you cant judge a charachter to fast, but at the same time after a certain number of chap if the seme/uke still act like he own the word and treat other like trash, I will see him as a red flag (exemple the top in jinx, i forgot he's name) suree if he get a chasing arc and a redemption arc and change the way he act my opinion will change. but yea its anoying when ppl judge a carachter after 2 chap... and i dont know if its just me but ppl are using the word ''red flag'' "such and such is a red flag" and "if he does/doesn't like this, then that's a red flag" and it's absolutely insane. There are plenty of things that are genuine red flags, yes, but at some point it's become common to call something that they just don't like a red flag

    Yup it’s not like people are saints in the real world too and of course manga/webtoon is gonna be more exaggerated

    Haha you're right. I guess I just care a little too much about other people's opinions until I realize these people are zombies like me trying to find some form of entertainment

    I agree with that fr. I'm not gonna deny there are genuine red flags but it gets tiring when I see it EVERYWHERE you know? About the last part, you took the words right outta my thoughts lol.

    So right. It’s really annoying, it’s why I try to avoid looking at the comment section
