i think that after how good the main story was, people are just showing their dissapointment with the side couple. and im not sure that dont like dont read really applies here since majority of people commenting here like the main story and just wish the side story was bit better

Our main problem is with how the whole rape situation was treated. I wouldn’t say it was completely brushed past, but it wasn’t treated with the gravity that it deserves. Yes, all media doesn’t HAVE to make the bad guys lose, and this fact makes some stories better, but this isn’t being written in that way, if that makes sense. I personally take this more seriously than I should because rape isn’t treated the way it should be in the real world as well.
Victims get blamed for bringing it upon themselves while aggressors get a slap on the wrist. This matter is even WORSE outside the U.S where I live. This isn’t the exact same as those situations (because of how the author is writing the story) but people need to learn to take rape seriously, even in fiction or as a writer. You can’t just throw rape into a story and expect the characters to not be severely affected by this. Logically, it just doesn’t make sense
I agree. TBH it’s not a rare sight to see this rape-but-it’s-okay-cause-it’s-a-man trope gets thrown around in the BL scene and as a veteran fujoshi who’s been on this site for literal years it’s a struggle, really. I’m just disappointed on people’s reaction, a lot of newcomers feels like the site revolves around them and they can’t just live with giving a story 1 star and give genuine feedback rather than whip up a shitstorm. I enjoy stories that isn’t just a they-get-married-the-end (that’s not to say I hate pure romance) and it’s so annoying that it’s just like a witch-hunt in the comments for people who enjoy the problematic story. Just because I like it doesn’t mean I’m a felon with ten million sexual assault charges under my belt.
It’s fair to be disappointed, the BL scene is atrocious with consent but I’m more disappointed in the anger. I never read comments a lot but this just felt like a witch-hunt lmao. ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ
Honestly scrolling through the comments I kinda giggle, some of you guys take it very serious and that’s not to say that rape isn’t serious but this is a story of fiction. Not all media needs to be good guys win, bad guys loose. Also I bet Daewoo feels regretful. Pls calm down, sit back and enjoy the show, and if you don’t like it, don’t read it ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
