The people have applauding cos ml ml (younger and top) has been hinting that he is a virgin (literally risking his life to keep his chastity) and have been pining and yearning for the mc (older and bottom) to accept his love and see the ml more than a child. So it shows that he is loyal to the mc. But ppl are so quick to denounce ml’s feelings and efforts to betrayal because apparently he has a harem. And that equates to cheating/ betrayal to the ml. (Also cos it happens that during the harem intro ml is busy with official duties and he has been “neglectful” to ml godforbid ml actually does his responsibilities) a harem that is obviously for political purposes as many of them are princess and prince, sons and daughters of noble families, with no other purpose to the ml but to strengthen his very fragile political standing.
yeah but i dont fw age gaps + virgin x experienced trope. sorry i genuinely am so wierd out by the relationship power dynamics of it. the concept of older sexually experienced person, and a younger virgin .... hmm....that rings a bell, ALARM BELL that is. no hate to people who read it but it's so wierd to me that i js cant read it like wdym this is POWER IMBALANCE PRO MAXXING. so what if he's a king? immediately would it make him mature and capable of thinking right and wrong? + it got child marriage and if ANYONE ever has any idea on how child marriage is SHIT like genuinely, it will make them realise that this shit first of all, is horror level thing. i don't wanna touch on it more bc it makes me mad, child marriage is not fun and gmes where u find ur soulmate fuck that shit even if that person is ur destined person then also child marriage is wrong on so many levels it fuxks up ur mind. i come from a region where child marriage was prevalent 2 gen ago there's a history of child marriages in the ancient times and if we see how fcked up it was we will genuinely do not like it. even if its fiction it's not fun to write. it's like writing stockholm syndrome in fiction and romanticizing it....oh wait! it does happen lol teehee. "But it's fiction guys" and so what? A good fiction is writing something so bizzare we don't see it in real life. slut the men out and make them go thru random BS and suffering, heck make cannibalism normalised in fiction world setting and make a woman kill her own child and feed it to her husband.....bring fucked up shit that makes us uncomfortable for wrong reasons we know we're wrong and let us dice into their fucked up psychology
writing fiction about institutions that were and CONTINUE to be hellhole irl and romanticizing or making it look "pretty" is so problematic.
i am so out of that shit. rant ended xoxo peace out
