my thing is the way ppl are defending it, not even making good points. i saw someone say “well at least its not jinx” and i laughed so loud like girl. imagine having an abusive bf and your friend is like “well at least hes not hitler!” girl stfu.
another person (probs the one you’re talking about) said if you want wholesome stuff to read “josei and gl manhwa”… implying that gay men can’t be wholesome or without abuse. the blatant homophobia.
if ppl like trashy manga just own it, just say you enjoy it despite it. trying to convince me it’s the fuckin mona lisa of bl is embarrassing.
The people that comment like "why are you all so pressed? Rape is in a lot of BL!" Are not wrong, but also wtf? You can like something but also crticize it. You can not like it and comment about it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but you have to see and understand what the issue is.
I personally don't like it because because of the beginning thus I dropped it. I've read countless BL with a similiar premise and still read the whole thing. The way that this author portrays rape culture in this manwha is as if its a joke. Saying how tame this comic is doesnt make a difference. You see the cover, read the synopsis, see a few images and then you're hooked-- but you didnt sign up for the blatant rape culture...
My takeaway from this is that I hope people can understand why others may not like this, but also the fact that rape is not normal. I would recommend hidoku shinaide. The beginning has a bit of blackmail/rape, but as the chapters go and with character development, the seme apologies what he did to the uke and is very sincere about it.
