Facts, Fargo has good art and can create characters that are endearing with their flaws. But then out of nowhere they throw in these assaults and fetishes. Same w If You Hate Me That Much, 2 out of the 3 ukes look sooo young in some frames but theyre supposed to be in their late 20s. I don't know how these authors just keep writing cutesy couple things after starting their stories w SA and having lack luster "resolution"
this may be one of the classics but that doesn’t change the fact that this is a problematic manhwa the over feminization of the male characters who are “bottoms” are so… look at me in the eyes and tell me this shit isn’t weird… if you say so otherwise then that just tells me that you are a fetishizer who hasn’t seen a real gay men.
the main couple is unbearable as fuck. no hyesung is not a badass. he is a rape victim that is one thing for sure but y’all need to remember that he’s young when he got byul, of course he’s bound to act immature and that doesn’t make him cute at all. he IS annoying.
and not to mention, dojin who is a rapist who wants to take responsibility as if in the first place that is not what he intended to do at all. he is not supposed to be complimented for taking responsibility when in the first place he is the cause of the problem.
and don’t even get me started on that bitch chowon his face pisses me off, he’s not “beautiful” he is a heavily fetishized male character. what is the point of writing a “boy’s love” story when they look anything but a boy?
i need to remind y’all that men aren’t replacement for women to prey onto. now before you tell me that feminine men exists in the real world, they do, but love is an illusion’s representation of them is just blatant fetish content.
the only good thing that has come out of this manhwa is dojun and heesoo. they should’ve gotten their own series instead of the forced main couple and a criminal being paired with a normal civilian side couple.
we don’t care if this is a classic, this kind of representation is harmful not only to the lgbtqia community but to women as well. if you’re going to writing a BL, then stick to it being exclusive about BOYS ONLY. WRITE A BOY’S LOVE AND DON’T USE WOMEN AND HETERONORMATIVE ACTIVITIES ON IT!
