they alw say they're gunna drop but end up reading the whole thing. I think its to save face and not wanting to associate w controversial stories
Ikr ╮(￣▽￣)╭ i mean dog blood plots are very popular. But for this reason I like fantasy romance more, where there's plot focus as well as development of feelings focus. Otherwise some red flags like possessiveness, dub con etc is fine by me lol
Why do you care about what other people want to drop?? If someone is the perpetrator of rape, domestic violence, abuse, or murder, why should they be redeemable. And in most stories, their toxic traits are always romanticized or the characters are depicted as being tsunderes. If you like copy-and-paste male love interests that have no personalities expect looking angry and being abusive, then do you. But don't feel ashamed and then project when people say they aren't interested in the same things as you.
I think you need proof of that generalization, I've dropped POTN, that story with with green-eyed-blonde and yellow-eyed-black hair love interests, Pearl Boy, and many others or skipped to the last chapter to see what tf is going on. I don't think as many people are into abuse and fucked up shit as you think they are. Your interests aren't at the center of the universe so stop thinking people are lying just because they aren't interested in the same things as your narcissistic ass. Y'all are the type to defend shotacon shit just because its fiction. If people critique you for what you like, suck it up.
ermm im totally fine being critiqued. I don't support unhealthy relationships. my main point was that ppl read fucked up things bc in a way ur interested even if its fucked up?? like a car accident, u don't wanna watch but its hard 2 look away.
I care because it's annoying and discouraging. It's really really funny that you look at these characters and go 'they are people'. They are not, they are just a part of a bigger story. I have dropped some myself but I don't drop stories because a ML is not a perfect green flag. That is what annoys me. I read a yaoi story in which only 3 chapters were out - MLs are vampire and merman and they accidentally get into a blood pact. The seme makes the uke questionable things but mind you, they haven't had sex yet.
There were so many people saying they were gonna drop it. I don't get it! If it's triggering, just drop it. Most stories have a TW in the starting.
Second of all, nobody in their right mind reads a dub con story because they enjoy it?? Even I have my icks, I can't stomach incest or huge age differences. But an ML not being a green flag??? Really? That is being sensitive.
I read and liked Killing, Stalking and Caste Heaven not because of the story themes but because of the storytelling. To see how it all would end! There is a difference in appreciating a story to enjoying the acts in the story - which a normal minded person wouldn't.
Right! Possessive or just trashy MLs getting redeemed ESPECIALLY if they have a good arc is so satisfying to read!!
Why are you getting so defensive? Aren't you also generalizing that people don't go back to the story after not initially liking it? Calling someone narcissistic because they made an observation, sheesh, calm yourself and read some fluff.
Nobody here is defending shotacon - you are again making a gross, not only a generalization, but an accusation. What exactly is your problem if I find it annoying that people are dropping manga before even giving the manga a chance. It is very discouraging for new readers!
In almost all of the BL manga/manhwa I've read on here, I always see so many comments saying they're gonna drop this because the MLs are red flags. Tf?? Y'all are not gonna marry those characters and if the MLs are absolutely green flags y'all better off reading like slice of life! I understand the feeling when like the MLs are extremely predictable or the same toxic things keep happening, then you get bored and then drop it BUT how TF you expect a good story arc if not atleast one of them was a shitty person?? The manga could've have only 3 chapters and I saw so many people saying that they're gonna drop it because the ML is toxic or fuck the ML because the side character is a green flag.
Y'all are sensitive af!
