Um, we don't need to wait for his backstory to figure out if we don't like a character or not. The backstory is not an excuse. It's like treating a tragic past as a reason for a rapist to be forgiven even though we never give the VICTIM that same chance. Mmkay?
I can totally be pissed at what someone is doing NOW, regardless of backstory. BAckstory can help me sympathize and minimize hate, though.
I forget the name of the BL, but the guy was abused by his lover, who ends off breaking it off before he does something worse. Then in the sequel, the abuser's POV, we see how he was horribly abused (maybe even sexually) at work, and can't quit--has to put up with the horror for YEARS--because he supports his sister.
So, that really changed my attitude towards him, and I understood why he was such a shit in the first story.
Backstory can make a difference.
But I still wanna go up to Yoo Won and say, "LIke, dude, cut this shit out." and to Hee Bum: "Hey, dude, didn't you say you wanted Jumi out of your relationship with Yoo Won? What are you thinking, twit?"
You're talking about "Sabita Yoru Demo Koi Wa Sasayaku" and the spin off story "Hadakeru Kaibutsu" by Ogeretsu Tanaka........... i can totaly symphatize with the yoo won in the latest chapter....Im gay but i never told my parents about my orentation and lately they are asking me if I have a girlfriend. i dont want my parents to be dissapointed with me and they are already senior citizen and i want them to be happy and not think about me. i want to show them that I'm living a normal life like and not add to their problems
Yeah, I recognize Hadakeru Kaibutsu! Thanks.
It's gotta be a real difficult situation to be in--like when I changed religions and was different from the rest of my family and my mother was very hurt by it, cause she's really religious. To her, it's betrayal.
Loving people does mean we dont' want to hurt them, but sometimes, I think, we underestimate what people who love us can absorb. My mom eventually saw I was okay with my new religion and I wasn't turning into a cult person or something and I was happy and it wasn't just some sort of rebellion.
Maybe you should tell thema nd maybe you shouldn't. That's something only you know. But making a fake relationship is lying to them and, sometimes, maybe underestimating them. It's hard, sometimes, too, to know if they already know. I mean, sometimes people have come out and everyone is like, "Yeah, we guessed that already."
My parents would have been very upset if I had been gay and came out. But I know for a fact they'd have gotten past it. Because #1--they love me. They sacrificed for me. They wanted me happy and healthy and successful. They never wanted me hurt, bullied, damaged. I would have been supersad at hurting them, sure, but I guess I figure love would win.
Not in every family. We know that. Some families are just horrible to kids who come out. And only you can know what their reaction might be. So, I wish peace for you.
I just can't bring myself to like Yoo Won.. The way he is acting to Jumi and other people is not right. I know y'all are here for the gay but I would rather see friendship and trust. Not people stepping on Jumi and her feelings. I want them all to step on legos & think about what they done
