It's not supposed to be realistic. It's fiction.
Intersexuality is not fiction. Intersexual people are not like vampires or elves who can be portrayed differently by each author.
I wouldn't care if they just went and called it futanari or whatever (although even that is already iffy), but the author called it intersex, which is a real thing, so I will analyze the portrayal of that real thing.
Just because a work is fiction it doesn't mean it can't be realistic in some way. That's an incorrect notion. In literature there's this thing called verisimilitude, which is basically how realistic or believable a plot is.
Even fantasy works can have verisimilitude, the EMOTIONS can be realistic, it's a way for the readers to connect more with the story and the characters. Actually, I know for a fact this would be both angstier AND hotter if the intersexuality was portrayed correctly.
And, well, realistic or not, this comic is just not good and that's that.
Dude chill, nobody takes it seriously
I take it seriously, what's it to you? If YOU don't care then just keep scrolling. You don't need my approval to keep reading slop anyway.
Ur soso right btw u weren't even angry or mad, just pointing out the obvious wrongs and stating facts. If they dont care then they should just keep it to themselves plus the fact that intersex people are more common then redheads but are OFTEN portrayed inaccurately? Like yea this is fictional and a yaoi, but ppl can still give criticism abt the stuff in it, it's informational too
Ok not fully true on that. There have been stupidly extreme rare cases where people are born with both sexual organs active just with a low fertility rate. It’s come from either a mutation during gestation OR fetal consumption where one fetus consumes the other in the womb (more like they fuse into one being). One of the ladies that worked with my mother growing up had two sets of fully working ovaries and found that out when she got pregnant and was STILL having periods. Her daughter had a similar mutation except it was similar to what the guy in this story has. She preferred to be presented as a female but had both genitalia down below and found that both functioned properly. Just her penis was smaller than average and her periods were off.
She had a really low fertility rate in both her sperm count and egg count so it was EXTREMELY difficult for her to have her one child. The main reason for the low sperm count was because her balls were actually pretty small and closer to her body than they should have been.
The only reason I know these things is because she and her mother were very open about it especially with my older sister being her primary doctor and knowing that I was studying in the medical field. Anyway it’s not impossible just HIGHLY unusual. Like a legit one in a million chance. . .no more like one in a billion chance. Her child was perfectly normal. Her siblings were the same one gender. Just her and her mother had the weird quirk.
Calm down.
Nobody said Intersexuality is fiction, only the way it’s portrayed in this Webtoon is fictional.
Like Omegaverse, we know something like Alpha and Omega doesn’t exist but we still read it.
We clearly have to stop taking Fictional stories so seriously.
If you don’t like it, well don’t read it and go in with your life.
I'm very calm actually. Do you not realize you're contradicting yourself? You used omegaverse as an example, that's something that doesn't exist. If they want to write some mpreg bullshit they could just have created a name for that. There's no need to call it intersexuality, the name of a real thing that exists, and therefore sexualize it.
Right? I wrote completely rational criticism begin to end. They could have just downvoted or whatever if they disagree, but they say I should calm down when they're the ones getting all defensive. I guess people on here get heated when we give valid criticism of their slop. I get it, it takes them out of the immersion.
Maybe it's just me, but I think even porn can have good writing, and there's multiple examples on this very site.
That's not how being intersex works. Labia majora and the scrotum are analogous structures, so it makes no sense for one to have both.
And if he has functioning testicles (as in semen production) then he can't have ovaries btw, because those analogous too. So if he gets pregnant in future chapters that's another misrepresentation..
This had the potential to be a romance that is inclusive to intersexuals (and it could still have sex scenes because sensuality and oversexualization are not the same!), but instead it's just disrespectful.
