No need to clarify, like I said, I misread.
That said, before we continue the conversation, do you think I’m just a troll? Because I won’t continue to engage if so. I’ve been genuine this whole time but if I’m not being received as such then there’s no need to continue.
Good morning Akaito,I need to clarify because I don't want to be misunderstood. Thank goodness if you misread,I thought you misunderstood me. Well,do you happen to read my Convo with jjnbv in this comsec? Personally or tbh,I don't know what you comment or replied to other commenters about this manhwa in the comsec here,aside from this one particular discussion. Haters love to hate even without particular or reasonable reasons,just for their pleasure, bullying,and/or out of boredom. So we came to a conclusion that these haters were trolls who love to ruin the mood of readers,put virus in the comsec, recruit others to join them and just want to start an argument. Iirc,you said that you were a critique and not a hater of this manhwa. Or am I wrong? I am also genuinely replying to you all this time. I even said that I'm happy sharing my thoughts with you. Maybe we have differences because we came from different environment, different nationality,culture and tradition. Since, we're on the topic about trolls,I want to ask you what is your opinion about them?
Yeah, I have my criticisms, but I don’t hate it. I mean, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to separate my feelings towards the webtoon itself from the way that discussions of it have gone, but that’s something different. As I was rereading it there are even a few things I feel like I didn’t notice before that I can appreciate. I’ll always give credit where I think it’s due, even if ultimately begrudgingly, or with many caveats, lol.
As for trolls, I don’t really care for them. If someone trolls me, I’ll troll them right back. I don’t know how many people in these comments can actually be classified as pure trolls or pure haters, though, even if I ultimately disagree (or agree) with their criticisms (or lack thereof). And I find it ultimately reductive to reduce people’s critiques down to just being haters for the sake of it, or to band every single one of them together. I’d rather parse these things out so that I can address them properly.
For example, someone who hates the webtoon and goes out of their way to bash others for reading it just because they’ve heard things about the webtoon, but haven’t actually read the webtoon themselves, is different from someone who has read through the webtoon and has come to hate it because they think it’s wrong to depict rape/nonconsent in a story (or to depict rape/nonconsent in a sexualized manner). These are both people I disagree with but for different reasons; the first just…pisses me off on principle because with something like a story, I think it’s dumb to critique it without having experienced it first + you have absolutely nothing to actually say about the story. I like things to be accurate. Whereas with the second person, well—I think the question of how things “should” be depicted is a complicated one, but it isn’t wrong on principle to depict something like rape/nonconsent. That’s someone I feel like I could have a conversation with.
What happened to reading for enjoyment? Dan x JK ain't it but shit ain't real. Why can't people just drop these stories instead of condemning enjoyers of such stories? Some of y'all's inability to accept that we don't ingest these stories the same is jarring. Some people like this toxic stuff and they're the main target audience. You who doesn't with your consistent complaining are not even welcomed here. I think the morally righteous readers are just addicts who can't cope that they're addicted to violent toxic smut.They yap on here only to be like flies to shit when there are uploads. It's getting pathetic ATP. Post pandemic readers have ruined this site with their pretentious Jehovah's witness bs.
