you’re joking? like actually? have you been fucking reading with your eyes closed are you actually just thick skulled and homophobic? I’d advise you read this whole manwha over from the start because from as early as chapter 7, where Asha was blushing when their hands almost touched and The FMC sniffing her when they hugged thinking about how good she smells and it literally just goes from there on. But really and truly chapter 29 alone is gay enough to prove a point.
You’re gonna read the dialogue and interaction between the FMC and anathasia, where Asha literally gets jealous and sad, asking the FMC if she was interested in purple hair guy because she saw them holding hands. Her face literally dropping and red and being relieved when she said no….That doesn’t seem a little gay to you?? girl gtfo and don’t pmo
I know the term 'queer baiting' can sometimes feel ridged and extreme, as it’s often used to harshly criticize mainstream media for specific practices that might not fully apply here. However, based on the actual definition of queer baiting, I think it does fit the situation. Just to clarify, queer baiting refers to media heavily implying that characters are gay or part of the LGBTQ+ community as a way to appeal to queer audiences with the promise of 'representation,' while maintaining ambiguity about the characters' sexuality
Basically, it’s implying a characters sexuality or a same-sex relationship without confirming it. From what i’ve read so far i’d say that’s pretty accurate to the manwha. Don’t get me wrong tho, i’m well aware this isn’t a GL (more reason it could be considered queer baiting because someting labelled gay can’t be baiting) I didn’t click on this EXPECTING anything gay, im just saying Asha and the fmc are gay af for each other and it’s obvious that it probably won’t be addressed. Not saying they had to end up together or anything! but the author is def teasing
But you’re telling me this is not a GL? this is some sick queer baiting. I’m assuming she’s gonna end up with purple hair guy but i think it’s crazy considering how down bad Anthasnia is for her. The gays will never be free
