Not that jo stans didn’t do same (just way less in comparison) but again, it’s really just due to large amount of TJ stans so obviously it’s more of them, duh me. I don’t like either, I just hate one more especially with how they mostly like tj but shit on Ian, and try to self insert as tj’s lover. It’s a comedy at this point.
Exactly! Although both sides had their fair share of shitting on Ian for the sake of their preferred male lead and self insert purposes, I don’t think that the Jo stan virtue signalling and pettiness compares to the nasty superiority complex and spam of insults that TJ stans spread across platforms lmao
i don’t really care if people insult the characters. they’re all fictional so to me it’s just old man yelling at clouds. what i don’t get is people insulting the author or other readers for liking something especially when those same people clearly care a lot since they spend so much time obsessing over other people’s opinions. and as far as i know doyak has spoken up about people (jo stan) mischaracterizing the story about hero and villain and another time was when people were harassing her friend for publicly stanning tj. so i don’t really see them as the quieter part of the fandom.
To each their own, everyone has different interpretations. I read the story, not purely for the smut, and I do care about the characters especially when putting one male lead in a pedestal while putting down Ian, story wise. I do care if someone insults a character while worshipping a fucked one, story wise it should matter. Yes, it wouldn’t matter in general since it’s fiction, but stories are meant to evoke reactions.
Like I said, it’s a comedy at this point and I don’t bother with either fandom wars anymore. I still talk about it but not a lot.
I just dislike one male lead more, that’s all.
I may be a big TJ and some Jo hater, any male lead here actually, but if he somehow becomes end game, I am not going to freak out. I might be disappointed if the delivery is poor, but that’s it. I’ll move on and read my other stories.
I doubt Doyak would just: TJ confessed and Ian gave the cold shoulder, silent treatment for a few days, but they both end up together after TJ pursued him strongly this time. Jo is rejected and cast aside.
With everything that happened in a decade and a bit more, I really expect something more. Something that brings back to the first time they met, something that can override the misery they shared and gave, etc..

I have no opinion on the chapter but I do want to laugh at tj stans that got cocky last update. It aged like milk for them.
