THIS!!! I’m getting so annoyed by the comments talking about it like he’s obviously not saying he’s a literal child… like you said he’s just childish! Like unless it’s explicitly stated that he’s an actual child (or looks like a child physically) like how it’s stated that mugo is a god then I don’t want to hear it. The dubious mugo is just using figurative speech fr (￣へ￣）
Exactly, reminded me of that tweet that said that media literacy is dead, people take everything way too literal, when as you said there's this thing called figurative speech
I feel like it might be something like when the personalities manifested? Like, the oldest one might have been the original, the second oldest came along later on and the youngest is the most recently manifested one?
I can see something like that happening with immortal beings since they live for thousands of years or longer. And since he's a snake God he's probably imperfect ((a lot of the time in Korean and Chinese lore snakes are supposed to eventually become imoogi and then ascend to dragons as their final forms.))
It’s the mangago comment section they’re not known to be very intelligent I’m afraid
I mean like he knows what getting hard is so I doubt they actually meant child
While his physical doesn’t transform but the The mentality is like a child. The brain is under development and display childlike behaviour. Same thing applies in real life, it’s still grown upon.
Even when the mc was a kid the three personalities of Mugo have already existed. Meaning when he was a kid monster Mugo already existed but his personality has remained the same throughout the years.
*frown
Yep agree, it’s the child mentality that’s the issue here, have nothing to do with the physical. The debate in real life still have no conclusion so it’s literally normal to be a little discomfort about this.
Mugo has lived hundreds of years so ofc the personalities existed before the MC was ever born?
There are records of the 3 personalities lol I never said the third one literally just manifested, I said it was probably the most recent one compared to the other two which would explain why they act like 3 different stages of life.
It's either that or they are based around different human personalities or something like that.. Old Mugo is the rational and wise one, young adult Mugo is egotistical and self-serving and young Mugo is ruled by base needs.
I never once said that 3rd Mugo didn't exist before Jaheon.
exactly, that's why i have issues w the 3rd mugo having sex w the mc, it feels really wrong to read
Would’ve been better if the author disassociated the child version from any sexual activity.
Thanks for understanding the message I’m trying to convey here.
No yeah i like naive tops but this is on another level that i get why people feel uncomfortable because the naivety and behavior is close to a child even if he isnt a literal child
Yeah I understood what you said
I just wanted to add that monster mugo is not even a child by age because he has existed for a long long time..
I mean, tbh, even tho DID is definitely different than autism, people who are comfortable unmasking around their lover also get flack for being "too childish" to have adult relationships with other adults.
Mental health studies and society as a whole tend to have conflicting views 'cause people either can't relate to an adult with different afflictions or people feel the need to constantly victimize those with them.
Like, I've had people tell me it's weird how I completely change around those I feel comfortable around and coupled with my physical appearance ((I'm 5'0" with a baby face despite being 31)) I've been called "pedobait" for as long as I can remember. I didn't learn that I was autistic till I was about 25, granted, but I've always had the issue of being called "childish" or a "kid" for how I actually am once I unmask.
You can find discomfort with it, sure, but keep in mind that a lot of the time we just want to be treated normally.
That and this is a fantasy setting so the rules and intricacies of actual DID don't really apply here. He's a thousands of years old snake God so human rules don't really apply in the same sense they would for a human with DID. And tbh we don't even know if it's DID that he has since it's commonly manifested via extreme trauma and is a lot more rare than people on the internet would have you believe.
lol i have autism too! this isn't really related but a lot of people see to think that acting "childish" makes us immature or have the same mindset and development as a child when in reality a lot of us as smart and mature, and people need to stop blaming autistic people for people's pedophilic tendencies if they're playing into it knowing that's what they're doing then thats a different case but most of the time they're blaming the wrong people. The actual people in the wrong are people that infantalize and fetishize autism.
I think it really depends on the author, we really haven’t seen much of the personality of the monster mugo, I think if he is exhibiting more child behavior then it would be weird for sure but if he’s just into like child like hobbies such as video games then I wouldn’t consider him a child. Also the monster mugo isn’t interested in sexual behavior so far so I guess he’s exhibiting child like behavior. But imo if monster mugo ever initiate sexual relationship with the MC then he’s def not a child!!!!!
I doubt that the MC would ever initiate sexual relationship with the monster mugo but if he did and monster mugo is established as a kid then that would be very weird and drop worthy!
Thank for understanding
And that’s all about my comment too? I’ve seen this issue going around internet since forever and no one, not even a psychiatrist or whoever has a conclusion to this issue.
Personally, i think both sides are too serious about this topic that not even have the right answer in real life.
I mean he just appeared for 2 ch (in fantasy omegaverse manhwa or whatever)no one knows what he actually is tbh, so it’s completely normal for people to feel discomfort or not. I understand both sides, like it could be worse or could be better than what they imagine, so just take their own risk and that’s it.
People here need some literacy skills fr, he is NOT a literal child, he is hundreds of years old, it's not like his physical body transformed into a child that would be different. I see it as that monster self is just extremely naive, shy too, and he has childish hobbies (like videogames)
