I agree, like if the author switches them then that's that but I think their current dynamic is pretty interesting (since I've never read a story with a self hating bottom) however I do find the people in the comments who are demanding a switch a silly lmao
Genuinely I think people are just hungry for a good vers couple which is totally valid, but I personally love power dynamics more than sex positions haha Author will do what author gonna do, we're all just along for the ride!
You are not alone trust meeeeee. I've been trying to get people to understand just how great their current dynamic is.
idk why they demand vers when the top is pathetic/crybaby/ too in love w uke. nobody asing vers in codename anastasia or jinx lmao. its always when the top has 'feminine' / docile nature that they come running and shout SWITCH SWITCH which comes off more as "this person got stereotypically feminine traits so they should get fucked" which to me feel more like "yes a feminine qualitied man got fucked --equilibrium is maintained in my brain" and less of "i want more switch couples" bc istg never once did i see people on large scale wanting switch out of mainstream confident top x silly bottom couples fr.
Thank youuuuu omfg you get it! Everybody is completely missing the point. No one is against switching in general, it's the fact that people only want it with these characters because Cheol isn't "dominant." And you're totally right, no one is asking the uke from Jinx to switch with the seme. People not getting the bigger picture and focusing on them not switching instead of their dynamic is driving me absolutely insane.
Btw I saw your reply on my other comment, here's your crown queen:
fr like they are being more heteronormative even though they think they are not bc they want them to switch. also heteronormative =/= strict top/strict bottom roles. it js means u don't think a certain action/trait is more female like or male like. which they are doing bc they think cheol should bottom and lemme tell u they're thinking this bc cheol is such a docile and overall less confident clumsy guy who's more of a damsel in distress coded. why is no one asking a switch in a BL with a shorter guy uske? like no one ask for switch in passion lol. or legit any popular BL. that would be breaking the heteronormative mould but they don't ask for switch bc shorter guy/guy w a smaller dick topping doesn't look aesthetically pleasing. they only wanna see cheol bottom for their own sick pleasure completely throwing cheols character/personality out the window. he has expressed distaste for bottoming and the readers aren't respecting it which ofc, list crazed gay porn addict brains can have you doing that (not saying all people want switch bc they're gayporn addicts but it comes off as that bc they're not reading the story and if u wanna jerk off to switching there are legit other bls where switch does happen but they don't go there they js come to a manhwa where they see a wet puppy loser top and confident power bottom and immediately thinking "this womanly man should get fucked") also this "getting fucked" and "fucking" discourse inherently is misogynist bc sex is sex and somehow if you think "getting fucked" makes a man more enjoyable/pleasing it's a wierd thing almost fetish like in a sense (not saying im devoid of thinking like that , i sometimes clock myself thinking like that too) but this distinction comes from patriarchy and fucking=male and getting fucked = female which feels wierd and then that's why bottoms and femm bottoms get more hate. i personally don't like reading twink bottoms bc it feels icky it feels very gender-role assigned. if u have read "ao no flag" you will see that despite one of the boy being shorter than the other he's still drawn as a boy with boyish typical features and doesn't try to make him look more feminine you know? which i like so the problem for me is not the height diff but the way twink bottoms are drawn it feels such a fetish type thing.
Clock ittttttt. You're literally saying everything that I'm thinking
Totally agree, I was so confused and weirded out by how many people were demanding it in comments, and even claiming he wanted to "secretly" be bottom. It's definitely fetishizing and odd
Literally! Like I understand if people genuinely want switches but on half of bls I've read that have like, we'll just say, a "stereotype defying" couple (short top, buff bottom, seme like uke and vise versa, etc) I'm always seeing things like: "switch!" "omg they should switch" "WE WANT A SWITCH!!" or even: "[insert character name] should be the one bottoming/topping!". Like guys, there are bls who have couples that switch, I'm pretty sure there's a whole tag that has 27 pages with bls that have switches, so i don't understand why they come say it under books like these.
I guess I'm the minority that doesn't want them to switch, huh? Cheol is such a loser it's fun to see him make the calm composed master (baiter) brat Minyoung lose his mind. And Minyoung wants to be bitten, to be loved fiercely, which is why I think he loves (power) bottoming. I find no enjoyment in watching an already pathetic, self hating dude bottoming for a smug manipulator but that's just me. I love their dynamic as is, BUT, I also accept if they switch because I don't believe your position in sex defines you.
