Exactly what I was thinking. You put it in much nicer words than me cause I was cussing that stupid girl out. Like girl, You are broke with a grandma who has dementia and parents who hate ur ass. Worry about yourself! She’s projecting how miserable she feels onto the first minority she saw. Maybe it’s so she can feel better about her situation knowing someone else may have it worse.
People like this would probably be so frustrating irl. Like you don’t think queer people don’t already know what they would face by being different? Also like wtf is that logic? “Your life won’t be easy. I know how it feels to be different so I won’t support you??”
Literally call me slur and get it over with so I don’t have to listen to ur sob story.
I was putting off reading this before because I wasn't exactly in the best place to encounter a homophobic narrative from Mi-Ok (especially in a piece of work that has so far been very healing for me), and as it turns out, she's much worse. I personally would much rather face outright homophobia than what she's bringing to the table. She empathized about being "different," yet offered nothing but opposition and hostility. Heck, there wasn't even an actual connection between their struggles. + No one was even asking for her approval and support in the first place. It's so infuriating lmao.
The two MCs are way better people than me because I swear I wouldn't have let her go that easily.
