I really, really, really, wished that my gut was just playing with me. I was hoping for a pure father-son relationship, and I’ve always noticed subtle weird like tones when the two are older, but I always thought it was because the author was used to drawing BL that it may have bled through to this but isn’t meant to be romantic at all. I really hoped that was the case and potato is just naturally clingy and loving with people he sees as family because I do know people who are similar to that. Until the newest post where they made it very…very…clear that there is an indeed romantic undertone to the relationship. “GL”…
Okay I’ll say this once but please do not defend this under the pretense that it’s okay because potato isn’t biological related.
And I’m saying this as someone who is adopted and I was adopted roughly around potato’s age (based on his walking and talking development), and let me just say it’s the same as basically seeing your parent as a potential partner. It’s weird and disgusting because when you recognize someone as your “caretaker/parent” from a young age, that is what it is despite biologicals because that is how you grow up. (Nature and nurture guys…). And it’s very obvious potato sees papa as that parent and it’s shown that he grows up with papa seeing him in that light, which is why it’s extremely wrong for them to be any way romantic. It’s very groomish. I don’t see how people are okay with this but yet again it’s mangago…
That’s all I really have to give in this discussion, I will most likely be dropping this bc it does make me uncomfortable for someone who is adopted and how media is portraying that this is OKAY, because they aren’t biologically related when that’s far from the truth.
