thanks to author for keeping the rent down

The7 cant even appreciate anything anymore

You’re so real bruh

thanks for saying it, can't they just touch grass and stop dissing both seme and uke. The trope is right where the creator wanted it, what's wrong w it gosh

fr fr with all the whining and bitching there has been lately I hope this manhwa turns even more toxic

Lmfao right
Like bitch Ima obv still read this regardless of whomever. Eating popcorn atp

"More toxicity" and its just straight up rape just say it if y'all can't handle opinions so you get mad when people call out the problematic rapist

yes, thank you for saying it for me. i'm glad your brain functions. suah is not a "problematic" rapist, he's a fictional character who functions under a set of rules unique to his fictional world. character analysis is important when reading; crazy, i know. he's a traumatized individual, and stemming from this trauma is a vicious possessiveness. can we call the fictional act of scenting someone allegorical, and a form of rape? yes. does it make heaps and loads of sense for suah, a *fictional character* who serves a narrative purpose, to cum inside juhyeok without prior consent, because of his controlling and jealous nature? yes. now please ask yourself why someone would want more of these kinds of acts from suah. because they fall in line with exactly who his character is presented as to us, the reader, who is hopefully able to come to sound conclusions regarding the characters in this story. the reader who sees it as out-of-character and shoe-horned for suah to be toxic — as you say, a "problematic rapist" who needs to be "called out" — is the one who has not been paying attention. yeah, i want more "straight up rape" if it filters the fuck out of lobotomites like you.

This is not about him acting out of character this is about the author portraying a rapist whose actions are then forgiven cuz he has some childhood trauma literally implying that his actions were justified and therefore you should sympathize with him. You're all free to express your opinion and say whatever you want about him but then maybe don't tell others to shut up if they want to call it out and get off the comments section if you don't like seeing what others have to say. We can't all agree on something but it should be understandable that people are tired of seeing rape and abuse normalised so much in bl so obviously they're gonna complain and talk about it

If your mood is ruined cuz people are calling romanticised rape in fiction disgusting (which it is) then that is your problem

"in fiction" you almost have the answer there, if are so immature that you can't differentiate between fiction and real life then that's also your problem.

Fiction doesn't get a magical no-critique pass

if this is what you come up with after reading 21 chapters of this story, then i feel justified in finding your comments banal. giving him a sad backstory doesn't lessen the weight of his actions. you're the one who can choose whether or not to sympathize with suah based on how he was treated in his childhood. i don't need him to personally redeem himself to me, and i don't give a fuck if he's a rapist. that is my personal opinion that i am expressing. yaoi doesn't "normalize rape and abuse" because unless you fulfill niche conditions, a manhwa is incapable of reforming your morals. it's a source of entertainment and escape, and if someone chooses to portray a rapist with a sob story being forgiven with no consequences, it shouldn't have an effect on my ability to distinguish right from wrong.

i don't think you're illiterate for disliking rape in yaoi. i just think you're illiterate because your argument is framed in a way that implies i am okay with rapists and abusers outside of a manhwa, simply for liking a character within a manhwa. you can "call out" people romanticizing rape and start witch hunts all you want, but please don't misunderstand my original point. i'm calling some fans hypocrites when they act like the toxic aspects of suah's character were never there to begin with.

sure it's okay to critique but this isn't the first time a fiction has problematic tropes, problematic fiction has ALWAYS existed, you are my world doesn't have anything new covered. Again criticism is fine but y'all are lowkey don't way too much. It's almost like people here are reading problematic omegaverse fiction for the first time while is definitely not true.

Yeah no shit Sherlock. The problem is the TikTok hive mind, self–righteous policing brain rot where y’all just have to have everyone else agree with you

You just said you don't care if he's a rapist, thats not separating fiction from reality, thats you telling me that within THIS story, sexual violence is meaningless to you as a moral event. I'm not against the existence of a rapist character, what I'm calling out is the narrative framing that is literally asking us to move past or forget about his actions because he's "hot" or "sad".
I never said you personally endorse irl rape, I said the STORY romanticizes it. You're allowed to like a villain or a rapist in a story but don't pretend the narrative didn't forgive him with a sob story, its giving denial

"Always existed" is not an argument, it doesn't make critique invalid and people calling it out isn't doing too much, its just engaging with media
