Not to barge in, but ur comment may be a long time ago, but barely anyone had commented since the 7 months. So your comment was really easy to find as it’s only the 6th comment. It’s not really iconic, I also think the word ur looking for is ironic. Have a nice day, and please ╥﹏╥ don’t insult the author’s work as it is one of their oldest works and the trend was different back then compared to now and they’ve improved from this. (except the rape, rape been around and has been a trend in almost yaoi stories so rape isn’t any different)

Oh wait — just noticed that reply came from someone else. My bad! But hey, the unsolicited grammar correction, the defense of “old trends,” and the deep dive into the comment section? Thanks for the TED Talk, truly. I didn’t ask for a historical analysis of 2000s fanfic culture, but you really brought the full package. Still doesn’t make scrolling through months-old content to argue any less embarrassing — iconic behavior in my book.

?
I literally said that it wasn’t a deep dive because the comment wasnt even that far down on the page, so no one was ‘deep diving’. If you didn’t want someone to say anything on your opinion, then you shouldn’t have made this comment, no matter how long ago you made the comment, as it’s public for everyone to see. I love TED Talk, so thanks. Also I’ve never brought the full package of 2000s fanfic culture, I just said one thing abt the trend.

??? Even tho I’m not the one who made the starting comment between you two, ur srs so dumb? They’ve never defended fictional rape, they just said they understood the plot and wondered why people like you cannot understand the plot.
Also never defended rape, I was just saying rape is a continuous trend and that I wasn’t trying to excuse it for the author, just stating a fact bc you mentioned abt rape in ur og comment. What I meant was that trend back then was just adding continuous characters to cause more suspense and usually confused people reading it.
I'm still confused about what I just read... it's like, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? The plot was stupid, right? The storyline was dumb, the characters' personalities were idiotic, and the misunderstanding with his twin brother made no sense. The amount of gratuitous rape didn’t make sense either. Honestly, the whole story made no sense.
