Would u mind spoiling on how the story ends? If u know? I typically can look past rape as long as the ending is good or person redeems themself in some way in stories. So I wanna know if this worth continuing..:
Do you know what is he taking the revenge for? What did the MC do before?
Correct me if im wrong but the kr side is saying that the manhwa had made modifications and cut out scenes that involved the similarities to the nth room scandal. The bottom would r word women by drugging them (cant consent if your drugged) and secretly film them. Even if the manhwa does not have it the novel originally used these topics.
Im not sure if this is misinformation as well. But this is what kr side has been telling
All not sure what to trust in the end everyone is saying different things so im just not gonna touch it
Hi! I'm not too sure about the manhwa "cutting out" scenes because it only has five chapters so far and those five chapters have been very faithful to what's in the novel according to my friend. There isn't any drugging or assaulting WOMEN in the story but plenty of fucked up stuff happens to men. Like I said, I think it's understandable for people to be put off by themes of blackmail and illegal filming (since those are things that are sadly very prevalent in Korea) but what puzzles me is that those aren't very uncommon tropes in BL. In my opinion the reason a lot of people are so angry about the story is that they believe that misogynistic crimes are happening to women when it's really more Jiwook using derogatory language towards Jooyeon because he looks feminine. But I totally get it if you don't want to read it. Shit's crazy and violent as fuck.
From what I understand, in the novel, there are no women but uke will gonna suffer from hell.
Not sure but some people on the internet were saying that all the outrage was because they thought there were women involved. But they wouldn't have any problems if it was done to a man.
Hey instead of banding together and marching the capital lets trivilaise men being raped!
Men will never band with women to the extend that we want anyway
dang mangago ate up my reply. but funny you say that. President Yoon is a notorious misogynist who tried to axe MOGEF because he's delusional and thinks feminism is going to destroy the nation, so maybe writing insane noncon porn is like their way of rejecting the system. But who knows, they could also be storming the barricade while writing torture porn. #Feminism #Productivity
Okay, so Reverse Thinking has been a hot topic on Korean bltwt because of some rumors that it’s based on the nth room crimes, that the story involves the sexual abuse of women, illegal filming, incest, and bestiality. People have been calling for a boycott and such. So I spoke with a Korean friend of mine who read the novel to verify how true these things are, and I want to share what I found out: So first of all, there is no violence against women. Or at least none shown onscreen. There is no incest or bestiality (the latter of which I’m not even sure is allowed on Bomtoon). There is however, significant violence and illegal filming perpetrated against the mc. It’s a very cut and dry blackmail/revenge story. Albeit an extremely hardcore one. There are two gang rape scenes and imprisonment. I also want to say it is COMPLETELY understandable to be weirded out or distressed by these themes and not want to touch the story, however I wanted to make this post because there’s a lot of misinformation surrounding it. At it’s core, this is just a story about violent things happening to dudes. The reason I believe it’s important to make this distinction is because while many Korean bl fans have a high tolerance for problematic themes such as abuse and rape, they aren’t fine with seeing it happen to women. The reason is because Korea is obviously a pretty misogynistic country, so Korean bl fans treat bl as a form of escapist fiction where women can’t be hurt. (Not saying I agree with this mentality) But anyways, I hope this post gives a little insight and encourages you to think about the story from other perspectives regardless of whether or not you want to read it.
Vague spoilers below for anyone interested:
For anyone who’s read Sono Kuchibiru ni Yoru no Tsuyu, the plot is very similar except with less public transit.
