I came watching cover but ew, another rape fetish like "painter of night.
It's basically cocktail of pretty, overly faminine and weak victim mixed with hot, unrealistically huge and strong rapist.
Seme rapes uke on the point of sword and people drool over it saying "atleast he is hot" or "art is beautiful". Some even go as far as saying it's cute. Yuck.
Yes its really disgusting and disturbing. To hell with the current queen
Your typical yaoi story....
Step-1: You meet an asshole seme who rapes you, cheats on you, blackmail you and basically destroys your life.
Step-2: Then you are shown his sad past/childhood trauma (his favorite toy got broken/his candy fell on ground/ his pet dog died/ he accidentally killed a bird/his parents got divorced/his first love cheated on him etc etc.)
Step-3: You feel sympathy for him (I understand why he is like that/oh, he must have suffered a lot/It must be lonely etc etc.)
Step 4: He takes care of you (buys you medicine for/gives you water/carries you around/help you walk/ wipe you clean/buys you a meal/basically show you any form of basic human decency)
Step 5: You fall in love i.e. he is kind/he is only good to me/he is trying to change etc etc.
Step 6: Logic does suicide (xth time).
Since when were contract killers this dumb and pushovers? Just cuz they are uke? Can't we have have an intelligent uke character once a while. Why always make them dumb n weak disregarding their position? It's too much cliche at this point.
Coolest uke of all time. It's so refreshing to see a non stereotypical character after so long. I was tired of seeing damsels in distress all time.
agreed
Another rape fetish where victim misses being sexually harassed by offender.
Another pathetic uke who needs to be saved by his great great seme. Too much cliche.
its odd of you to think of il-hoo like that. he stood up for chaeheon as well he just needed advice. whats wrong with needing help from friends? at this point they are only friends. plus its weird of u to refer to him as uke i hate people who do that☠
The only reason I'll agree with you is because I strictly read younger top and semi-dominant bottom and they aren't DOMINANT ENOUGH. Like BOIIIIIII
People are sure lot sobbing for cirrus. He may have most painful childhood, but that doesn't give him any right to destroy skylar's life at all. He say his salvation lies in Skylar's misery or what so ever. That can't be justified. Not when he is almost adult and has a fully functioning brain. His problems lies with adults, not with Skylar. Why is he trying to isolate him so much? Even after after reading so much I can't find any sympathy for him at all.
Because he's realistic. A lot of people who've been abused end up becoming abusers later down the line.
Unfortunately that's how a large part of the BL fandom think. As long as a character is handsome, has a sad backstory, and has bare minimum amounts of remorse then he's still a sweet little baby that just needs a hug. If he fell into the "fat ugly bast**d" category in term of looks, the same peeps would be ripping him apart. The reality is that the only one Cirrus should end up with is a therapist.
I just have to say… the last sentence is too brilliant.
I think we're not supposed see what Cirrus is doing as a good thing, thanks for stating the obvious. Nobody is justifying Cirrus' terrible actions so what are you going on about? People can't feel sorry for him or like the character at all because of everything he did? I know Cirrus is a awful person but I still like him as a character.
Mate, people’s brains don’t mature till they’re well in their mid 20s. That’s a high school teen you’re talking about who’s been abused etc. Nobody is justifying his behavior, but explaining why he did what he did. I’m also looking past Skylar kissing without consent, same with Cirrus. It’s a psychological genre. I expected trauma and bad shit.
Here we go. Another toxic "so called romance" and another wave of dickheads advocating it as diversity or interesting whatever.
Here we go. Another weak, crybaby and poor uke selling his body as "token of appreciation" to a strong, bold and rich seme for saving his tiny little ass from bad guys. No matter how it starts, it all end at this point. It's too much cliche. There is literally nothing new or refreshing at all.
Is that any need to make uke this pathetic? Can't he be more cool and capable like seme? Whats more frustrating is that, basically every story runs on this cliche. At this point it feels too unrealistic and discriminatory.
I agree 100%
