Age Gaps In Japanese Manga (Specially BL/Yaoi)

for some reason its grown popular and normal to do that. mangago users loveeee reading and complaining about series that have themes they dont like in them from chapter 1 but are still there complaining when nothing has changed 40 chapters in.
lts fair and valid to have themes/ect u dont like and want to read, but then u need to stop reading series they're explicitly in, especially when its that series entire identity! nobody feels bad for u at that point

Agreed! If I start a manga/manhwa and a theme I REALLY don’t like is in it, I just drop it. Like, everyone can like what they like. I’m not going to complain about it, just leave. The only valid complaints are if the story is, like, actually bad or poorly paced, but a theme like age gap is so mundane that if someone doesn’t like it they should just drop it without a word!!

Honestly some of them dont even be that valid. Like one could be 17 and the other is like 20 or 21 and its not even that bad. They should be more worried if its like 17 and 25 or something

AGREED! It’s literally like a MAYBE 3-4 year difference and people are BUGGING.

haha so true. Though personally, i dont also like this trope wherein person A is minor and the other is a whole ass adult. Even in fiction, it is not my thing. But I dont judge ppl who read or enjoy this trope bc at the end of the day theyre fictional characters, theyre not real and theyre not us. Just hope ppl who hate this trope would learn how to use the back button and close the tab instead of complaining or judging readers like party pooper

I think they just want to complain to complain. When I encounter I troupe I don’t like I just leave and don’t say a thing. Everyone is entitled to like what they want, and I’m entitled to the ability to ignore it. No need to call out what someone else likes, especially over a work of fiction that isn’t hurting anyone.

totally agree with you

This idea that when you find something you dislike or hate, you should just drop it silently and let other people enjoy it. Don't say a word! This idea is so hypocritical. Especially when you have something to say about those people's complaints. You see, if you couldn't keep your mouth shut about other people's dislikes, then how do you expect them to keep their mouths shut about their dislikes? You get it? Don't say a word? But you made a whole post to talk about it? I guess everyone is entitled to like what they want, ignore what they want, but they're not entitled to dislike what they. The world must work differently for you ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Did you even read the post? OP clearly states that even if they dont like something they will continue to read it. Till the end. And continue to complain about. Calling out bs for bs isnt wrong. What is annoying though is that said person who hates that manga/hwa/hua continuing to read it and complain about it.

Yes, and I also read their other replies to understand where they're actually coming from. Going off the og post alone is juvenile because in their own replies they show what they mean. And the overall sentiment of this entire post is about telling people to stfu if they don't like something.

I still don't get where in any of their replies did OP mention that people should stfu and never criticise? The overall sentiment is not at all like that. There is a difference between calling out and straight up complaining.

Exhibit A: "but a theme like age gap is so mundane that if someone doesn’t like it they should just drop it without a word!!"

Exhibit B. "Everyone is entitled to like what they want, and I’m entitled to the ability to ignore it. No need to call out what someone else likes, especially over a work of fiction that isn’t hurting anyone."

To summarize for you:
Without a word!
Everyone is entitled....but no need to call out....

Op thinks everyone (including themself) should be entitled and yet in the same sentence says no need to call out? Do you not understand it when you say everyone is entitled? It means everyone, not just you and the select few you believe can say what they want. It's EVERYONE including people you disagree with. Hypocrite.
