I know far too many feminine gay men who are proudly men for y’all to camp in this comment section, misgender a character with your whole chest, and not see anything wrong with it. The only justification offered seems to be that he likes cute, “feminine” things and once expressed wishing he were a “girl” so he could be more accepted in a binary country and society like Japan. Do y’all hear yourselves? Are we seriously equating someone’s preferences or self-expression with their gender identity?
Let’s pause and reflect—do we agree or disagree that being a woman is defined by liking certain things or behaving in a specific way? Are we still clinging to outdated ideas of a rigid binary, or do we accept that identity and expression exist on a spectrum? Y’all have to choose. Let’s not reduce people to stereotypes. If everyone thought like y’all, I’d have to pack my bag and stop being a woman because, like all of you all, I’m not a stereotype.
Y’all are a confusing lot.

I don’t know Korean work culture, but don’t they have an HR department and, even if they don’t, wouldn’t their relationship be a hundred percent be going against policies? Like, he retained his job BECAUSE he was dating his boss, not in spite of it. Like, this is all very muddled.

I was going to ignore that specific comment, and was doing a good job too. However, now I have to address that comment and your comment because you two are just simply inane thinking that you are in a position to tell anyone how to consume media.
Let me clarify my stance. What you’re not going to do is tell me how to consume any form of media. How I choose to engage with content, including its source, is entirely my business.
That said, I find it really concerning that a policy like this doesn’t exist in Korea. After reading more about the societal dynamics there—specifically the power struggles and hierarchical structures—it’s not surprising to see issues like workplace abuse. A lack of policies addressing these power imbalances only seems to reinforce these problems.
As for the media in question: yes, it’s porn, but I also value good storytelling, and in my opinion, this was a genuinely good story. If you didn’t enjoy it or don’t think it meets your standards, that’s your prerogative. We all have our own metrics for what makes something worthwhile, and this met mine. I brought up my observation because I thought it was worth discussing to see if anyone else noticed the same thing.
So, to reiterate: you are free to consume media however you want, just as I am. But what you’re not going to do is try to dictate how I choose to engage with it. Do with this comment what you will. Goodbye.
I don’t know why this story annoys me. I am reading two other stories by this author/artist, and I love the art and the plots and characters are interesting and funny. However, something about this story pisses me off. Sugar Trap’s characters are more ludicrous and frustrating, but I love that story so much more than this one—I just can’t place why this story leaves me so irate.
Maybe I need to just let it marinate.
im pretty sure sugar trap's author and diss love's author r different
