Imagine you're thirsty. You want a glass of water. I give you a glass of toilet water from the public bathroom's toilet bowl. How would you feel? That's not what you wanted, or meant. You would be upset, right? That's how those of us who dropped the manhwa felt when we read chapters 23-27. We wanted a BL/yaoi. A gay story about the fiery passion of a deep embrace between two complex and fully fleshed-out male characters. What did we get? "Straight" porn. For 3-4 chapters. Pretty upsetting
The male characters are bisexual, I understand that, but I'm sure the authors could have conveyed that message via SFW, non-graphic means. They treated their readers like we are stupid. Like we need to be shown every second that the men fuck women to finally say, "hey, they are bisexual! Who could have guessed"
It ruined the moment and disconnected some of us from the story
"Hands off, you creepy-ass homo" (chapter 23)
The main characters are overtly homophobic, off to a good start! (not)
Next, one of the main characters fools around with women in front of his soon-to-be male lover, and his soon-to-be male lover joins in. Were you, author-nims and artist-nim, inspired by "Killing Stalking?" At least Sangwoo and Bum had their love making moments in the first chapters. Anastasia has been outrageously "straight" the past 27 chapters. That "sandwich?" I did NOT need to see that. I need to bleach my eyes!
I'm furious, yes. I will explain
The "straight" agenda, and the corresponding "straight" script dominate society and mainstream media. The script expects men to pursue women, and prioritize temptations over love for their fellow men; conversely, women are expected to be pursued, and use their looks and bodies to tempt men
References to this script are abundant. Most frequent are references framing men as lust driven and women as men's sexual objects. If I wanted to see them, I wouldn't be consuming BL/yaoi
BL/yaoi (or GL/yuri) is the one thing that doesn't follow the "straight" script. Why are you ruining it?
"Straight" media excludes non-conforming lifestyles. It's only fair to exclude "straight" identifying people and their lifestyle from BL/yaoi (or GL/yuri). Treat them how they treat the gay community
What did you do, author-nims and artist-nim? You did the opposite. Instead of crafting alluring, gorgeous intimate scenes between men, your talent and gorgeous art style were wasted on distributing unhealthy "straight" junk. The junk shouldn't make up more than 0.0% of anyone's daily media intake, or it will contribute to the build-up of junk in the brain. The result of the build-up is a dramatically higher risk for losing brain cells, sanity and morality
Do better, for yourselves and your readers
You know that bisexuality exists, right?
There are certainly homophobic references, but first and foremost the situation and social influence must be taken into consideration. It doesn't make it right but it makes it A LITTLE (and only a little) understandable.
Plus it's clear that they're both bisexual at the end of the story. It's not necessary to deny a sexuality just because you don't like seeing straight sex scenes
You got a room temperature IQ? Men "fucking" men and women isn't just a BL/yaoi anymore. Add "straight" and "bisexual" to the manhwa's tags
I wouldn't say I'm -phobic. The "straight" lifestyle is a sin. It's not -phobic to resist it. I'd support a bi person who resists temptation and exclusively dates members of the same sex
I think you're a little too fixated on the gay thing. Boys Love is about romantic relationships between two boys, this doesn't mean they necessarily have to be gay. It's about your own tastes okay, but everything that is happening is for the flow of the story. If you're not interested and just want to see two men fuck!ng, this is obviously not the right story because it's not just about smut.
There's no specific genre, so you're going to let "bisexuality" invade BL/yaoi? Why won't you do that to "straight" stories first? BL/yaoi wasn't always a thing. It was first developed and established in the early 1970s. Do you care about "bi representation?" Establish a genre for a particular "anything goes" audience and purpose. Invading a established genre means you don't care about "bi representation." You want to have your cake and eat it, too
You are all over the comment section though, commenting on every comment. Like you are shoving it to everyone here what you dislike and you expect people not to find you annoying? As much as they want to ignore you, clearly, you don't want to be ignored. What you're doing is no longer commenting, that's WHINING. I like to read comments and it's annoying finding your name on almost every comment. I didn't even like that they included the girl in that episode because I want to see BL but damn you annoyed me.
It's not worse than that other person posting a topic "don't like to see straight sex, don't look", or "drop it", whenever they find people complaining about the het sex. They've already made comments and topics about that, if you let them do then you should also let I'mGayandYouKnowIt comment their opinion as well.
AGAIN, this.
"No one is forcing you to see", "just drop it". Because you think we can just ignore how Zhenia, and now both, have so much straight sex in a fiction that's supposed to be BL? Is it intelligent to tell whoever complaining to just fuck off and drop the reading? You think you'll make the fandom by yourself alone and the few people who will stand here reading Codename Anastasia till the end?
I don't know how many people left already because of this straight episode, and how will drop again when it'll be the rape episode. Btw, the rating had dropped by 1 point and guess why? Surely because many are bothered by the straight shit.
Even Manhwas like Cry me a River has +100 pages of comments, while Codename Anastasia struggles to get comment. 'Cause people are dropping this stuff, and you're here to tell them to leave contninously!
Be a bit understanding, Jesus!
Unless, you want to end here alone.
Being a gay woman doesn't absolved u of being a mlm fetishizer. Ur disgusting gtfo, u don't speak for gay men.
Sexuality is and still is fluid and dynamic.
A whole gay man may be capable of fucking women, doesn't make him any less gay if he only sees men as an object for romance.
There's no rules or shit in a book, anything can happen however the author may like.
You're an angel. I don't say this to often, seriously, you're a voice of wisdom. These "straight" fetishizers are like an ugly infection, bloated and throbbing with vitriol. They groan, waiting for any point of dissent to break them, to unleash their full fury on those of us who dare convey some measure of dissent or disagreement
Some of us have standards. Some of us have boundaries. We don't like what's happening to this story, and people should respect that
The NSFW "straight" scenes were pornographic. The purpose of porn is to treat a person, woman or man, as if they were primarily a sexual object. An instrument for the audience's entertainment or sexual pleasure. It's fetishization. It fetishizes women, and men. You're guilty of that disgusting fetishization. The authors and artist are guilty of that disgusting fetishization. Why are you, or they, free to be disgusting "straight" fetishizers? Why am I not as free to be a "disgusting mlm fetishizer?" Do you hear yourselves? You should be telling yourselves, the authors and artists, to get the fuck off
Whatever you are, you don't speak for gay men, or all gay men. Why are you speaking for them? Women were fetishized in the NSFW "straight" scenes. As a woman, it's my right to call you, the authors and artist, out on that fetishization. And as a gay sister, it IS my right to be there for my gay brothers when disgusting "straight" and bi fetishizers invade BL/yaoi and make it about them
Clearly you've never been to a gay bar because you are just hilariously wrong. LGBT spaces include bi people and bi people are LGBT. Plenty of bi men go to a gay bar and end up walking out with bi women or even straight women passing by. Just because it's less common doesn't mean it's not allowed
The LGBT community is inclusive and a safe space for all types of people. You don't get to dictate who is and isn't allowed.
1noori. You blocked me, coward
I don't support that kind of inclusivity. Gay bars are men-only spaces. They are a gay community focal point, in which having conversations, or meeting potential romantic and sexual male partners is the primary focus of the clientele. No woman or TQ+ person should be allowed. I'm part of the LGB community. I get to dictate that
I know there’s been an uptick in women flooding gay bars. I'm saying they are ruffling gay feathers, and unsettling staff, entertainers, bartenders, revelers. Bi people playing on both fields, and taking every chance they get in a gay bar is inconsiderate of gay men
Bi fetishization, yes! You accused BL/yaoi of gay fetishization. I WILL accuse you of bi fetishization. That's what this is
To respond to your other comments:
Anastasia is "straight." Didn't you read chapters 23-27?
The authors and artist are women. They poked their noses into mlm's business. They fetishized mlm and wrote about something that's "none of their business." You're okay with that. You don't tell them what to do. Why are you telling me what to do?
I poke my nose into mlm's business, and I did. Any questions? No? Have a horrible day!
"My cum will make a huge mess, and it will be a hassle to clean it up. This way, we can fuck each other and cum all over the place, and not have to worry about making a mess"
Sounds lazy and preachy. What is this, a condom ad? Condoms suck. The man wearing a condom is fucking a rubber, and not another man. He can’t come inside, or all over the place. The rubber is a wall that gets in the way of building genuine and meaningful physical connection
"STDs, blah blah blah"
These are fictional characters. There's zero risk of transmitting STDs in fiction. Zero!
Realism? The "ghost" story is unrealistic, why would the sexual interactions be realistic? IRL, the men could have gotten tested and saved themselves the trouble of starring in a cringeworthy condom ad
The cum leaked out of the openings of the condoms, and the characters made a huge mess, what was the point? To preach? Sex is supposed to be messy. The mess is the fun part. Either make a mess, or forget about sex
Oh, and the "straight" parts? They triggered the downfall of the story
Are you like actually serious?
Anyways let me tell you, you know how the transmigration stories work? Most of the transmigrator s in manga/manhua/manhwa write complaints about the story and get accident on their way to somewhere just to be transmigrated into that story. So yeah, how do they get into the accident? They get hit by a truck mostly, so that's why its called Truck kun
And when someone write complaints about the story we usually say truck kun is coming for you, its just a common slang to add fun to the comment ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I hope this explains
What’s with all the "omegaverse?" It’s ruining the BL, yaoi genres
"Omegaverse" is "straight with extra steps." Omegas are women who identify as men. Alphas are men. Here, one of the "alphas" gets pregnant. She's no different from omegas
"Straight" garbage like this should go back to where it came from: the garbage can. It should be illegal
If you don't like it don't read it.
(I get what you mean tho they treat omegas like shit, so what does that say about how they treat women. Like can you just not make omegas to be old century women *barefoot and pregnant*)
But other than that since this is alpha x Alpha you have nothing to worry about. This is ur yaoi plus baby (the exception of you will). Have your cake eat it too
Yall i think this person is just on a witchhunt to comment this shit on every omegaverse manhwa lmaooo. Just saying, I just think it's funny It's to the point I think they're just commenting this to try to stir sm shit up. Is this like a social experiment Honestly, for me, it's not that serious and like there's tags for a reason so idk why you reading shit you don't even like but go off ig.
I know a/b/o consumers have a pregnancy fetish. My question was rhetorical
The incredible thing about gay relationships is that we can't have children. We can adopt, and give already existing children a good home. We can adopt dogs, cats, etc. Or we can be happy without children
Children are used by parents or pregnancy fetishizers as mere instruments for entertainment. What they love is the idea of children. It's not children they think of, but what they feel about their genes, or themselves. How narcissistic it is to feel the world needs more of them or their mini-mes
Forget Covid-19. Humanity is a mistake, and a disease that should be eradicated
Stop forcing someone if they really don't want to read something like this. You'll just look stupid explaining this to someone who blatantly lacks an inch of interest. It's widely acknowledged that not everyone can be interested in a particular story, even though you yourself love it. We have different preferences after all, and that's okay. However, what's not okay is when they don't like the genre, despite it being already highlighted beforehand, yet choose to read it and then make an unreasonable comment. Like please, just skip it, will you? Unless you want some clout, well, here it is. And remember that omegaverse is not for everyone. If you don't like it, then don't force yourself to read it. Simple.

Nonsense. Men can't get pregnant, and women can't have cocks. Not even in your dreams. If it can get pregnant, it's not a man. And if it has a cock, it's not a woman
This is in no way, shape, or form yaoi or yuri. You know what this is? Uneducated. You, and people like you, lack a basic understanding of what a "man" or "woman" is
They're clearly talking about a FICTIONAL world of "omegaverse" which is a sub-genre of BL, where men can pregnant and women can have c*cks.
The omegaverse sub-genre has been existing for the past decade or so. And you're yapping now?
And, there's always a warning/description if this particular manga/manhwa is omegaverse sub-genre, you don't have to read and just read other stories you like.
Those omegaverse stories are nonsense. Not even in fiction can men get pregnant, or can women have cocks. A/B/O authors should come up with new words to describe their fictional humanoid aliens. They don't get to steal and twist realistic words that describe real, tangible categories. I won't go along with it
Excuse me for "yapping" now. I should have done that 10 years ago
omegaverse is simply so common in bl manga/manhwa/manhua bec majority of its audience is straight girlies who want to live their straight fictional fantasies but ofc no women be present bec they're that straight so they swip them off with this hybrid of theirs that looks and acts exactly like a girl but have no tits and a micropenis instead who they usually call omegas/ukes
basically it's just straight porn for the girlies but with extra steps and as you can see the girlies get so butthurt when you don't play along with their straightie delulu, it's honestly just pathetic and an eyesore
Very well said, my friend. The BL/yaoi fandom is mostly composed of homophobic girls and women. They aren't interested in a brilliant gay tapestry about two (or more) resilient men navigating the ups and downs of a healthy relationship. That would be challenging for their little minds. They are interested in an overcomplicated "straight" story with a ton of detours. Seme/uke was gay. They were two men. They took the uke and modified him, resulting in a man-looking woman that has their qualities they can insert themselves into
Many BL authors worked tooth and nail to establish their brand identity, one that would set them apart from the saturated "straight" landscape. Their BLs capture the different personalities of gay couples, giving them unique attributes that would carry the BL name for the long haul. "A/B/O/mpreg" authors and consumers have been and are abusing the BL name for profit
I'm a gay woman, and I'm ashamed of what these women are doing. They should grow up
thats so sad. oh no. i cant believe men cant get pregnant and women cant have cocks. oh man, thats like the 2 genuine things i love the most and i can't even dream about it :( like really? oh well. guess I'll have to tell the bad news to all the other readers here and in other bl omegaverses comment section about how they're not real and that they should care that they're not real
I meant to give u a thumbs down. Idk omegaverse is beautiful & fulfills the deep desire to see men in touch with feminity & at the same time gives a resounding support to the trans movement. Your opinion is transphobia of the worst kind. Today the definition of women & men have transcended traditional biological categories. So the idea of couplehood between straight couples, gay couples, trans couples or even a mix of any of these combination is no longer clear cut. Opinions in some of these comment section on how straight couples should be, how gay couples should be or how trans couples should be is so intolerable by itself.
And most of all, this is the creative universe, how dare anyone dictate what should be? If someone desires it & think it, why not!!! There are many genres that I'm also uncomfortable with but that doesn't mean I go to their fanbase & troll devout readers. Stay away if this is not your cup. Read non-fiction novels, stay fully in reality too. Coz let me tell you, most of us who actually enjoy reading came to experience different world's, views, opinions & people.( ̄へ ̄)
Also do your research! Omegaverse began as reader oriented fiction that emerged to humanise the "so-called traditional male" that is praised & accepted in patriarchal structure. Its a revolutionary resurgence of female influence in a body of knowledge that spoke only the language of the dominance & hierarchy of men. It was first noticed in fanfictions for all readers & novels targeted for women. And yes it appealed to women because suddenly the unequal power dynamic wasn't just between male-female but could also be male-male. N in some cases power dynamic can also be inverted in male-female relations, where female is alpha. It was writing into words the kind of worlds where "so-called inferior genders" would have some control over their lives.
You clearly seem okay with suppression of women & probably want to see that in real life too! And this I base on your obvious hatred of women. Grow up! It's not an exclusive world for men, women or other genders separately.
And just so you know omegaverse was adopted by BL writers not just for its female readers. It was done so to provide a familial connection between 2 male partners who can never create a child traditionally as a "so called straight couple could"!!! So many gay couples have to apply for adoption to have a child & be a family. It cant be done the traditional way without involving a traditional female in some way! So i can understand the power of creation/birth that females have. That is why BL authors took that element & actualised it in the world of yaoi. Themes always evolve. Its what you mean by reader-oriented industry.
You are not just transphobic but you are also a misogynist. Your tranphobia is very obvious. As for your misogyny, anything female-oriented seem to bring out intolerance in you.
Stop resenting women for being able to guve birth. You too came out of a woman! Readers like you spoil the experience for everyone. ( ̄へ ̄)
What’s with all the "omegaverse?" It’s ruining the BL, yaoi genres
"Omegaverse" is "straight with extra steps." Omegas are women who identify as men. Alphas are men. "Straight" garbage like this should go back to where it came from: the garbage can. It should be illegal
First of all your wrong.. they have animal instincts, the men are still men they have a dick The only thing is some of them to get pregnant. do you think getting pregnant is straight this gives transphobic undertones anyways, I followed you by accident. I don’t know how to Unfollow you and I don’t wanna follow you so like how do I Unfollow you
You're wrong. If it can get pregnant, it's not a man. It's a woman with a useless appendage you call a "dick" attached to it. Heck, it's not a human. Human don't go into heat. Omegas are at best women, and at worst freakishly outlandish combinations of man, woman and monestrous or polyestrous species. BL/yaoi is no place for your very straight pregnancy, rape and bestiality fetishes

I hate the omegaverse too and the whole entire concept. I feel like everything is just a horny mess and it's mainly just rape. They aren't doing it because the want to, their doing it because it's basically wired into them. I don't want to watch two animals breaking the damn bed I want LOVE. I was going to pass on this one even though I loved the story because of the omega verse concept but I'm happy I actually read it. I like the characters and the omega verse isn't really a big part of it. I can understand you not reading it because I am very sick of it myself (One of my most hated concepts actually).
Agree, Omegaverse concept is really problematic. Heat, pheromones, bonding, pregnancy and class systems (the idea of discriminating someone bc of their gender is very disgusting) but they romanticize it and made we think that everything will be fine if the mc met his soulmate which happens to be a big strong man bruh.
It's clear that omega is just women in male disguise and to make it worse, they add animal reproductive behavior to make the characters loose control of themselves (to create situations). but there are a lot more verse like cakeverse or sentinelsverse which also pressure two people to make interactions with each other.
(I don't hate this story tho, it's interesting. There's nothing about ml raping mc yet)
I don't understand why you dropped this. This has barely anything to do with omegaverse at all.
I think the next time since the very beginning they ever even really mention it was like 100 chapters in. And only another 100 or so chapters later anything really omegaverse related even happens.
There is never anything non consentual happening in the story and the omegaverse trope isn't even used as an excuse here for them to develop sexual tension.
I understand your dislike for omegaverse, I have much the same problems with it. But if you're completely against it why bother even starting this story and commenting about it?
"Omegaverse" is "straight with extra steps." Omegas are women who identify as men. Alphas are men. "Straight" garbage like this should go back to where it came from: the garbage can. It should be illegal
Edit: Dear Morohtar, the coward who blocked me
A "male" in possession of a womb, a female organ, cannot be categorized as male; at best, they are a hybrid amalgamation of the two sexes (half-male, half-female). A "female" in possession of a penis, a male organ, cannot be categorized as female; at best, they are a hybrid amalgamation of the two sexes (half-female, half-male)
A female is identified by her female organs and ability to bear children. The presence of a womb links omegas to the female sex. A male is identified by his male organs and ability to impregnate. The presence of a penis links futas to the male sex
The external appearance of an omega resembles that of a human male, tricking the unsuspecting audience. Beneath the surface, the omega is female
An "anal womb" is a feature of female members of other species, such as birds. Omegas possess anal wombs, and go into heat, indicating that they are female members of a hybrid species; half-human and half of another yet undefined species
"Straightphobia?" What blasphemy! Omegaverse is guilty of gay erasure and homophobia!
"Intersex" is a medical condition characterized by atypical development of the body that under normal circumstances would result in unambiguously male or female anatomy. Misplaced "intersex" organs are an aberration from the typical development pathway. They are underdeveloped and exhibit limited, if any, functionality. It is the set of organs corresponding to the correct sex of "intersex" people that retain the potential for functionality. I'm sure intersex people wouldn't appreciate their condition being co-opted for the purpose of advancing a gender identity ideology
Authorial intent is not a determinant of a character's identity. We have the agency to question and analyze an author's claims. Interpreting omegas as female is a legitimate, valid reading of omegaverse stories
I feel bad for the author/artist. She's doing her best for us, and her "fans" are pelting her or her work with rotten fruit and vegetables. She deserves better. Her gorgeous, dreamy art style transports me, the reader, to the wild world of the story. She captures the grace of her male characters, making morally grey scenes still appear intensely beautiful. Her characters are complex and flawed. Dan is indecisive, stuck and overly anxious. Jaekyung is aggressive, pushing himself past his limits and reaching an emotional breaking point. He snaps easily and gets frustrated over the smallest things. Or withdraws completely, and nothing has an effect on him. Both instances showcase trauma
Dan and Jaekyung are two traumatized men that I hope will find love and comfort in each other's arms
why are you acting like trauma excuses abuse?? it certainly gives an explanation and insight to what you’ve done but girl, a sex offender is a sex offender, don’t matter if ur daddy died
Are we reading the same story? Jaekyung isn't a sex offender
"I have a Jinx. I need to have sex the night before a match to win. Will you do it with me? If you're not going to do it, get out" (Jaekyung, chapters 2 and 3)
A sex offender wouldn't have given Dan the option to leave. Why are you babying Dan? He's an adult responsible for his decisions. He decided to have sex with Jaekyung to extract money from him. In exchange, Jaekyung had sex with him whenever and wherever. Dan accepted Jaekyung's terms and conditions
You didn't think Jaekyung would help Dan for free, did you? That would be stupid
person 1: lets have sex
person 2: ok, i consent
*having sex*
person 2: stop. can we take a break
person 1: no *keeps going*
this is sexual assault aka person 1 is a sex offender
You're twisting the story
Jaekyung: Let's have sex? Yes or no?
Dan: Yes
Jaekyung: I won't stop, even if you cry or say "stop." Is it still a "yes?"
Dan: Yes
Jaekyung: *puts it in*
Dan: No! Stop!
This is not sexual assault. This is a violation of agreed-upon terms and conditions. And Dan is the one violating them
It's not Jaekyung's fault that Dan, an almost 30-year-old adult, can't make up his damn mind
*Rolls eyes*
Dan saw how Jaekyung treats his partners: he beats them up and throws them around like a rag doll. He said "yes" to the sex after seeing that. Dan is partially at fault for what happened to him
Hi! I just want to let you know that I completely agree with you. People are twisting the story into their disgusting delusions and it’s sad. They should dig deep and see the true insight of both perspectives. It might look like it but it isn’t.
